As a guy who used to repair Apple computers and PCs for a living, this video is cathartic. I have never shot an IMAC , but I enjoyed watching you do it! Getting into Apple computers (and getting parts) is a nightmare compared to most PCs. I wish Apple computers would open a fraction as easily as the 50 BMG opened that IMAC. Nice to know the IMAC is actually useful!
We sure know a PC wouldn’t save you plus Macs last forever. I got 10 years out of my last one and it still works great but Apple stopped OS support. From the looks of things it’s the same as Plinkster’s.
In your scenario you would have been sitting on the glass side, therefore the test is only relevant if the computer is shot at from the back/metal side. No... I'm not taking this tooo seriously! 🤣
I watched your video you did with the binary trigger installed in the Ruger 10/22 Charger and enjoyed it! I took it a step further and installed a binary trigger in my Ruger 10/22 Tommy Gun kit. I'm loving it!
I kinda hoped you'd throw a bit more variety on the .22 LR you used. Like maybe using some Stangers... though not the ones from my signed pack from NRA 2023. Though it probably wouldn't penetrate, it would have been interesting to see a heavy weight .22, like maybe an Aguila Sniper Subsonic.
I would have figured the CCI Mini Mag would have penetrated the computer screen. I am always amazed that the 9mm round did not penetrate the computer screen.
Will you PLEASE review the mk4 carbines made by MaddMacs Precision Tactical? There’s only 1 very tame review for them on RUclips. I’m obsessed with the Ruger mark series and would love a more in-depth look at these, before I pull the trigger on buying one myself
@@chrisneff4864 22 Plinkster had some Stingers renamed after he kept calling them stangers due to his accent. CCI now sells Stangers, 32 grain at 1,640 fps.
Before hitting play, I'm guessing no, .22LR won't do the job - I'm typing on a Mid-2020 iMac 27", and it's got a mighty thick tempered glass panel for a screen. Add the (surprisinly thick) aluminum back side, and I expect that it'll take a .38 special +P (or hotter) to go through. (My "late-2013" rig has a nick in the screen from when I had a edge of the front glass from the time I zigged when I should have zagged, and whacked it with the corner of a triangular file - ANd that's EXACLTYT what the damage is - A nick that can't even be seen - only felt with a fingernail if you do it in the right spot.The rest of the screen is totally pristine, despite being 11 years old, with at last one previous owner. Hah... I see I called it - Even a 9 just barely got through, then got stopped by the stand.
Should a went to 22long rifle rifle n seen , problem is is with all vids I see on tube. Anything you shoot first 5 rounds you've compromised the next .
Before I watch it……..I don’t think it will go through. Ohhhh!!!! I was right. Minimag? Still don’t think it will……9mm definitely will. Oh wow. Would have never thought that……..I would have liked to see 22mag before 9mm.

Well, in older iMacs, the front glass was held up by magnets, but i guess they use glue now.
This felt like an updated version of the fax beat down scene in the Office. Satisfying.
If your scenario were to be hiding behind the monitor, then you might want to shoot the monitor from the other side.
My thoughts exactly! Lol
Came for the .22
Stayed for the .50
Best use of a MAC that I have seen.
Figures there'd be an anti-Mac fanatic in the audience. 🙄
So 22 Plinkster has poor taste when it comes to technology 🤔
What a time we live in 🤔
We need bulletproof computers 🖥 and cyber trucks 🛻
While we are being cyber attacked. . LoL 😂
@@foreverbrownsfan I came from a business environment with Linux & Windows world. They are over priced so I never had much use for them.

This reminds me of Elvis shooting the TV in his Vegas hotel room! Plinkster, you need to start growing those sideburns and look for some bell bottoms!
iirc he used a snubnose 357, saw it in a museum 30 years ago lol
That slomo with 50 was definitely worth the price of admission. Thanks Plinkster.
Cool video. For a bit I thought I was watching Kentucky Ballistics and all that was missing was the throwing of a folding table!
In your scenario you would have been sitting on the glass side, therefore the test is only relevant if the computer is shot at from the back/metal side.
No... I'm not taking this tooo seriously! 🤣
But you would have been facing the screen, not sitting behind it. Derr, you shot it ass about face!
I am quite surprised that the hard drive managed to stay on top of the stand. Great video Dave. 👍👍
I really like the balloons .... tied to a line deal. I think I'll try that this coming weekend. Keep having fun :)
Thanks for the video.
You shot my entire ammo budget for a month in that one video.
Figured 9mm would go through, but no. Fun video!

مرحبا اشترك في قناتي عالم النحل والطبيعة 😊
Super cool video. I really like the slow motion video. 👍🏻
I can't believe you didn't try stangers!
IDK, bit of duct tape you could be back in business. 😂😂
Nice grouping with that bmg, almost one hole except for the one flyer on the bottom left. Nice video!
Your hard drive has reached an unrecoverable state of error. LOL
He must have cheese pizza in there
You should’ve tried Federal Punch.
I really like this type of video. The 50 is a good closer.

Dude I almost didn’t click on this video… I’m glad I didn’t miss it!!! That was cool
LOL, that reminded me of the Death Star in Star Wars or that guys head in SCANNERS.
BUT, no, that drive ain't dead yet my friend!!
Oh dear.....you shot the wrong side....test failed.
I would have figured the CCI Mini Mag would have penetrated the computer screen. I am always amazed that the 9mm round did not penetrate the computer screen.
I always carry my iMac as a shield in street battles. lol.
SURPRISED IT STOPPED THE 22LR
yes!!!!!!
That’s the most expensive body armor ever produced
Very nice 👍🏼!
When you think about all the gun videos that machine has edited, and its final demise. Live by the sword, die by the sword!
what about the mighty VELOCITOR ???
They gonna be shooting you from the screen side?
What up dave
What up!
I am watching this on my 8yo iMac.
And I'm watching on my 7 yr. old iMac! I'd rather shoot a Windoze computer.
@@ka-pop2243Just replaced my 2014 IMac this December because Apple dropped OS support - still working fine though.
I'd think Federal Punch would go through it.
Fantastic

When you said A.P.I.T. I started drooling 🤤
I did this once with a Martini Henry. It was *way* more epic than a .22. It was not, however, as epic as an APIT.
22plinkster is the modern William Tell !😉
Not to worry Dave. That screen will buff right out !!
Shouldn't you be shooting it from the other side?
You seemed really worried if someone can see what's on that hard drive, Just how many pictures of naked guns do you have on the drive 🤣🤣
I guess the swamp people can use them on alligators and people take wild hogs with them. I would have to think that we penetrated that iMac too.😊
Unsuppressed Mini-Mags from a rifle would probably go through, maybe! Thanks for the fun video.
Wouldn't the bad guy be shooting from the back to the front??? Fun video, Thanks xCop
Yep, gotta redo the test with the screen facing the other direction...
I wish that you would have tried some stingers
CAPS LOCK can be turned off
Satisfying.
Why not the hot boys the cci stingers???
What are stingers? I have only heard Plinkster talk about stangers.
@@JamesChurchill3I came to ask about the stangers.
32 grain cci stingers look them up 😆😂
@@chrisneff4864 22 Plinkster had some Stingers renamed after he kept calling them stangers due to his accent. CCI now sells Stangers, 32 grain at 1,640 fps.
It's the same thing
Turn it around so the metal is first hit.
Dudeman, freaking awesome and hilarious 😂
Idea: Will hiding behind a hobo protect me from gunfire? 😎 Looking forward to the video!
Better idea: hide behind a democrat and try it.
@@steveavant9727 But they don't have any guts - there might be some over-penetration. 😇

Do the hard drive with a 12ga.
That was more than a “10th of an inch” lol
"That's burning your data." -Clint Smith
Technically with your stated scene using it as cover, You should be shooting the back not the screen. Either way the video was interesting.
Fun video, right on Sir 👊 💥
You might be surprised what can still be recovered by certain government agencies.
I wonder what f the Genius’ could fix it if you took it in - it might still have trade-in value.
I did the exact thing with the same computer. It stopped a 350gr HP 50 Beowulf
put some minimags in that hardrive and call it a day
Man, that is old. Should have no problem with the new, thin plastic imacs.
Should a went to 22long rifle rifle n seen , problem is is with all vids I see on tube. Anything you shoot first 5 rounds you've compromised the next .
Nows a good time to ask about their warranty
Something tells me there’s something very valuable on that hard drive lol
Pretty much a Duh question !
Your back !
Cool video
At least the cameraman knows how easily information can be gained off a HHD, even a mildly damaged one.
dead center of those platters is were it needs to go but yes its done
use a .50 cal bushwacker revolver.
I shot an old tablet with a 22 and it smelled very weird. I don’t remember if any of the bullets went through or not .
Before I watch it……..I don’t think it will go through. Ohhhh!!!! I was right. Minimag? Still don’t think it will……9mm definitely will. Oh wow. Would have never thought that……..I would have liked to see 22mag before 9mm.
The perp would be firing though the back side,duh😊
how about suppressor options for .22s
Needed your STANGAR or Punch
Now wait, you would be glass side towards you. So if shooting from behind the monitor would it stop through the glass being last to go through.
How many rolls of duct tape will a 22 lr go through?
Well you didn't try Stingers..
Why didn't you use CCI Stangers?
I didn't want to blow it up on the first shot. 🤣
I think you are on the wrong side of the screen...?
I think the parts will fall out when hit from the back.
it's safe to say you fragmented your hard drive 😉
How many eggs will it go through?
WoW!!! i knew apple was strong but dang!!!
It can definitely slow it down
Test how bulletproof the apple vision pros are
Best use of a Apple iMac.
Other side dude. lol Fun video.
Your shooting from the Wrong Side
You need to spend more time on the range boy😉
Hillary is definitely taking notes.
You skipped the stingers and bought a Turkish pistol? 😢
Good vid
