The line between brilliance and sheer stupidity has rarely been crossed with such entertainment value. I hope you guys live long enough to make more videos.
Edwin, you might revisit this one, but chain the oxygen tanks in an upright position and to the back of the front seats. And scatter the propane tanks around in the rest of the back of the van. Then shoot towards the rear area of the van to put holes in some of the propane tanks. Once they start venting, shoot the area where the oxygen tanks are. This method should get you the results you were looking for.
Suggestion …. Wet the area in front of weapons to keep the dust down …… use tracers every 10th round for ignition . Thank you to the entire science team !
You guys were fortunate this time, but from now on please stay away from the tanks for at least 20 minutes to allow any unshot tanks to break their safety seal like at 13:10. One of you standing right at the back doors with the extinguisher could have got a jet right to the face. Keep making these top tier content videos. i love you guys, and I don't want anything to happen to you as a result from these bada$$ ideas you come up with for your vids Edit: This is if you haven't already gave it time off camera, I don't doubt you take as many precautions as you can.
@@aaronmurray9257 I'm sure Edwin takes plenty of safety precautions and just edits it out to seem even crazier of a person for content. I've watched his videos for a while and he seems professional. One doesn't get a license to own and shoot big guns such as his if they are not deemed fit.
youtube finally made it possible for all us all grown men to do and see all kind of things we've been wanting to do since we were 6 years old. they were so excited to start shooting this van. lol. looked like a blast.
@@thejaytea24Like the captain of this crushed submersible? Legend? Muppet you mean. I really like these guys and this is actually the third time I've been borderline offended by them not being careful enough. I dont want to encourage this with my presence and then feel terrible when they get shot or burned or blown up.....
You can lay down a moving blanket or table in front of the M2 to reduce the amount of dust it kicks up when you shoot. Great video's, keep them coming! Thanks for the fun content...
Did you just leave a loaded 0.5 inch M2 pointing at the target while running toward the target with the words "nobody touch that!", indicating the machine gun? I have no words, other than you are candidates for a Darwin award.
If the time ever comes that we stop seeing new videos from Edwin, we better send a search party to his grandpa's land to see if there are any recognizable pieces to be found.
Also if you want to play it safe. I recommend having a backup plan such as a remote explosive. If the tanks don't blow up on their own. Use the remote explosive to trigger them to blow up so you don't have a hanging trigger.
You should take cover doing something like this exercise, if one of those tanks explodes,the speed of the expanding gases of the explosion will be exactly the same as the speed of the steel shrapnel going in any direction or falling out of the sky.
Yeah, this one was kind of frustrating. They do this kind of video all the time. So why on earth wouldn't they use a guaranteed ignition source when trying to go so big? Very confusing.
OXY and acetylene tanks have a plug in the valve, before the valve itself, that's designed to melt at a certain temperature as a controlled failure point. So instead of building up enough pressure to bust the tank itself it lets the contents out before it gets to that temperature. That's why the oxygen tank randomly let loose after they stopped shooting.
Guys. Please don't walk up to another burning vehicle that you know is full of explosives, ever again. That was severe pucker factor. I'd like to see you make more videos.
That dump at the end was the best dump I've ever seen.Thank you.Really got across the power and possible duration of that power from a Ma Deuce.Glad thats what our millitary is workin with.
Bro ur videos keep getting crazier and crazier, really appreciate the effort you put into them. I don't wanna imagine how expensive those tanks must be.
I have seen this effect before. The rapid expansion of the gas generates a massive cooling effect plus it effectively "blows out" any potential flame. With no steady or effective ignition source present, the odd "spark" just isnt enough to light the gas on fire. Think ....like in the movies when someone throws a cigarette into a pool of petrol ..... in reality the petrol puts out the cigarette ember. This being said, I absolutely respect you firing 50cals at a van full of gas cylinders.
I see a bright future for Edwin designing submersibles. However what I really would like is a round count verse the number of holes in the van because I am starting to think that these guys (perhaps with the possible exception of Mark) would have a hard time hitting the broad side of a barn from the inside
Plenty of water there..to cool it off.. actually hardens the bore.. Unlock the barrel and pull the trigger. The barrel goes out about 15 feet - right into the water...
Burning the candle's at the both ends. For an incredible explosion the cylinders should be fastened together to stay at vertical position, guns also needed to be aligned horizontally almost to the center of the cylinders.Thanks for the nice upload, watching from Pakistan.
So, as a certified propane technician, I can say that you are quite lucky. Not your time to go. Propane at atmospheric pressure, will boil at -44 degrees F. That also means that when there are holes (like from bullets) in a propane tank, the pressure is basically atmospheric. That means the temperature of any liquid propane is at or very near -44 degrees F. There will be very little vapor at that point because the surface area exposed to any air above -44 degrees is very small and thus not much of the propane is boiling off as vapor. To ignite, the vapor must mix with oxygen at a 24:1 ratio. That is about 4%. It will ignite between 2.1% and 9.6% but combustion is considered incomplete, but not for the purposes of your "experiment." With this and your previous propane tank demolition, you note that the propane will vent but needs a spark (ignition). Also, the initial deflagration (below sound barrier propagation of ignition) burned the available vapor mixture. Then only the venting that provided the proper mixture given above would burn the the jets coming from the holes. Eventually there were alot of holes in the tanks. The pressure was nearly zero in the tanks. There was still a lot of liquid propane in the tanks. The temperature of the liquid was nearly -44 degrees F. It was not producing much vapor at that temperature having cooled the air and metal around it down to it's boiling point. Every time a bullet displaced the liquid and introduced warmer air, more vapor was produced. This then when mixed enough to achieve the 4% mixture was ignited by the flames and a new deflagration (burst of flames) was seen. The problem with your latest experiment, was that since there was likely propane vapor filling the truck when you approached, and a source of ignition with the flames you were going to extinguish, as soon as you disturb the liquid still left in the propane cylinders and mix enough air in the propane vapor, the flames would ignite the mixture, or even a slight spark from something you did like open a door. And the resulting deflagration (or even detonation, ie explosion) would have likely been extremely painful or fatal. Luck is a very fickle wench!
Edwin and everyone involved in this video, Even though this channel is probably very valuable monetary- wise, I want to tell you that is also worth so much more than just money... Many of us these days deal with depression and/or various mood disorders. Videos like this give me, and many others I'm sure, loads of big belly laughs from your bantering and antics. Im sure I speak for many when I say it is a big breath of fresh air to our souls. God bless you all, and keep it up!
When you all said there was tanks inside the van, for some reason I thought the van would be loaded up. It looked to me that it wasn’t. Like there was just a few. I thought the van was loaded. I thought the van was gonna go KAPLOOIE! I don’t know why. Maybe I watch too many movies. But this was still really fun to watch
Well that was well executed! Seriously.......what were they expecting to happen without a proper ignition sauce? I don't think that he's a real scientist. 😄😅😂😂
I love how in film or television a single round from a 9mm can cause a bus to explode but you guys machine-gunned the shit out of a van full of highly flammable pressurized tanks without so much as a spark!😆
I expected a huge explosion like the van lift on the air or a piece od debris ... The single oxygen tank inside the refrigirator explotion is still the best 😂
Just an FYI on the last segment. Not shooting in bursts will melt the barrel. Had a 2ndLT do the same thing when I was in the Marines. You could hear the barrel warp. But, it's not yours, so motor on... Also, pretty cool how you went running down range and then remembered to have everyone clear their weapons. 🙄 None the less a cool video.
HOLLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS JUST RAISED MY ANXITY TO LEVEL 1000 SEEING HOW CLOSE YOU WERE. Remember if you get hit with shrapnel just put a thumb in it.
You need the smaller aluminum O2 tanks to detonate. Steel doesnt react with O2.. but even then itll probably go off one at a time. Each cylinder is difficult to penetrate by shrapnel or explosion. Now a tub of liquid O2, super fine charcoal, and gasoline.. thatll be interesting! Ps. 150 yards would no longer be far enough. It would be a jdam equivalent.
So glad Marks there ❤ I'd want him on the .50 if that gets loose..... And OMG Royal N polishing Marks barrel with Ed just plugging away like a pro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☠ End was so good. I fired through 4x 100 round belts and 2x barrels on the F89 passing into a zone of no live ammo one day, soooooo much fun.
And..in Hollywood, one shot from a .22, completely explodes any vehicle, and.. it flips over, with just people in it, where ever it is shot, first try, while in a high speed chase. Amazing, the difference.
With safety protocols like this, you have a future in submersible design.
Sly... But good.
Ouch!
Hahahahaha
Cry about it
Too soon.
The line between brilliance and sheer stupidity has rarely been crossed with such entertainment value. I hope you guys live long enough to make more videos.
They will
Well, they survived once again. Thanks Edwin for making safety a number one priority on the science channel! I’m ready!
I'm always slightly relieved to see a new video uploaded because it means they've survived another poorly thought out shooting experience.

Yah! Probably the most ‘calming’ influence present! Thank You Mark.
I dont see how this is a bad idea. They are in the middle of no where in a desert. Nothing can catch on fire and they are shooting from far away

"Hold my beer" -Mark lol
Awesome video, glad the rest of the tanks didn't pop off when you were using the fire extinguishers! Max enjoyment!
I think Mark is just enjoying the company of people who do crazy things
The best science gun show EVER
You should have half the tanks open... so when the gas mixture is ignited by a tracer, it goes thermoberic.
Ya thats what I was thinking..I wanna see the whole van blow up haha
😮
There were no tracers in the belts.
Ok watched further and they broke out the tracers. What do you know, ignition.
They missed so many times
Edwin always doing the scientific tests that we didn't know we needed to see. Love this video!
You can lay down a moving blanket or table in front of the M2 to reduce the amount of dust it kicks up when you shoot. Great video's, keep them coming! Thanks for the fun content...
Did you just leave a loaded 0.5 inch M2 pointing at the target while running toward the target with the words "nobody touch that!", indicating the machine gun? I have no words, other than you are candidates for a Darwin award.

looks like a normal van comming back from a work day in chicago
Also if you want to play it safe. I recommend having a backup plan such as a remote explosive. If the tanks don't blow up on their own. Use the remote explosive to trigger them to blow up so you don't have a hanging trigger.
Also remotely triggered pyrotechnics, multiple circuits, interior cameras, helicopter... Guys, this is Edwin's Science Channel, not kindergarten 😜
Road flare would have been perfect
