considering there proper safety rules were shown in great detail VS videos that show people standing right at the side of turns at rally tracks or 16 year olds driving - WAY more dangerous
I don't really see how 16 year olds driving specifically are particularly dangerous, unless they're driving on the rally track. New drivers in general tend to be less safe due to inexperience, sure, but that's not a specific-age thing.
John L woah buddy, idk why anyone would want to hang with you. Nah jk I’m sure you’re a sweet heart. Matt is actually a pretty cool guy. Ever watch his vet ranch videos? I’m sure destin would love hanging with Matt.
Destin, I love the way you break the fourth wall, and show us a glimpse into behind the scenes thought and process. Your integrity, dedication, and joy of creative science and education are an inspiration. Thanks for making us all smarter every day.
Aside from obviously loving the science of it, 5:10 I seriously love how u respect the safety protocol for firearms before continuing, you take it very seriously so respectable. This isn't the first instance of it either, you've done it in the past as well in other videos like the one where you shot the drone out of the tree for your kid, major props Destin!
Grain Of Rice yeah he's not king of random setting of bombs in residential back yards... Or using sunglasses as the main form of protective gear, you can literally watch King of random videos where molten aluminum splashes on the camera gear and the camera man's glasses and they laugh it off and still don't practice safety. Unless it was a hoax, king of random is being charged with felony's for the bombs, it took someone getting hurt for the law to even bother with him.
Was coming to make the same comment. As a mother of a bunch of kids who like blowing stuff up etc. I appreciate you including safety aspects in a "this is just part of it " kind of way
Can a gun person explain to me why this rifle doesn’t have a bolt catch? Is this not a thing for higher caliber rifles? (Maybe too much stress / too much recoil?)
It's not really a sniper rifle: it was meant as an anti-material rifle ... so you'd shoot things like car radiators, tank tracks etc at a distance thus you can get away with a semi-auto action because you're not after that level of accuracy. You should look at Forgotten Weapon's channel and his video on the Barrett M82
Daniel Gultsch hello! I am a gun person, this rifle doesn't have a bolt catch, probably since the mags are standard 10 rounds and when shooting 50bmg I guess it's expected to count your shots. Could be pressure on the magazine also, its a big strong spring that could snap off a small piece of metal in order to hold back the bolt.. I believe there is only 1 company that makes a 50bmg with a bolt catch
@@edoardobonfante753 “made” is a bit of a misleading term. That would imply that no sound was recorded on site and that the sound effects were reproduced else where it even samples used from a library of sound effects. Definitely it rly a possibility, but equally possible is that had independent mics rigged up and recorded the on site audio. At which point a sound engineer would mix, EQ, and sync in post production.
It's not just fracture mechanics though. It's also modal response of the acrylic as it is vibrated by the force step function. It split apart as those fractures propagated from the vibrations it was subject to.
Honestly? You get over it. I’ve known for years Gavin has straight out said it before. Frankly, it’s amazing to appreciate the sound design that goes into these. After all, you’re not here for the sound, you’re here for the video.
I'm here for the science. This is not film entertainment, and yes, I've known for a while that it's Foley work. There are ways to capture the real sounds. It's expensive, but something like a hundredth of that Phantom camera.
James Trotman same haha, i'm always thinking about how that guy from canada is mixing the sounds for the slow motion That video destroyed my imagination 😂🙈
thank you for properly clearing the gun on camera. people don't realize how easy it is to do the wrong thing when handling a gun, and that's when someone is most likely to get hurt.
I love how the glass gives up on life well after the round has passed through, like it's sitting there contemplating holding it together, and then it's just like “nope, not worth it!”
The projectile would shatter into thousands of little pieces, the split-second it hit the water. It wouldnt travel more than 1 meter, give or take, depending on angle of the shot. Assuming it left the bunker at all that is... :)
The .50 is a big beast, but Hollywood and the media have given it a bit of an overblown reputation. It'll shred most glass and metal, but it's not magical. A couple feet of hard packed dirt is enough to stop it, and water will turn pretty much any small projectile into a useless lead weight in just a few feet.
Love how every line went ..... DEEPer. No trolling . seriousness, you should write a novel. Maybe with all the free time....... I should too. Love ur comment. One level deeper could be... While in one, among infinite, adjacent dimensions, 1.3 second into the future. What the whaa" LOL..... Peace please be among us..... Amen {forgot an imperative comma)
The turbulence of the poly after the bullet hit and before it left is amazing. Seeing a solid material churn and splash like water is simply mesmerizing.
When I was a kid we would make "diamonds" by putting the barrel of our bb guns against the bottom of a glass coca-cola bottle and shooting it... today I learned we were making frustums.
Oh, wow! That is exactly the memory this brought back for me. It had to be at just the right speed, but it would pop those cone shaped pieces (we called them diamonds, too) right inside the bottle. Of course, now we had to shoot the bottle to get the diamonds out.
Remember seeing glass coca cola bottles when I was a small kid but by the time I started going to school they were mostly gone. Tastes better in glass than it does in plastic & gives me an 80s - 90s nostalgia when I drink one
Dr. Emmett Brown glass bottle cokes have made a comeback, they’re the only way I drink em haha. Tastes even better when it’s Mexican coke (lol Mexican coke) because they use real sugar.
Loved the slow mo on the 9 mm handgun. To see the lower frame flex and no real muzzle flip until the slide hits the rear stop and transfers the energy was beyond cool!!! Great job!!!
Boolets do that, a immense amount of heat would be generated upon impact and during the penetration, some incendiary and HE rounds are designed to be ignited by that heat.
You've had my subscription a long, long time ago. Dan and Gav ALSO have had my subscription a long time ago. If I hadn't had both subscriptions, THIS vid would have sealed the deal for both of your channels. THANKS for providing fun, interesting, challenging content for so long. The world needs MORE PEOPLE like you three! I laugh and say "HMMMmmmm..." all the time while watching your stuff. KEEP. ROCKING. ONnnnnn! Love ya!
4:34 Straight up bullet time anime moment, usually when a vital character gets mortally shot, followed up by another character(s) calling out their name, character falling, a monologue, and the character dying in someone's arms, then the camera pans up to the sky... The actual sound from the shot and the window shattering are simply perfect for that moment.
That’s not how the frames of a camera work at all I’m essence your just making the video quality shittier which is why at that speed the bullet looks like it’s lagging as well as every frame
It's funny when you have to play a slowmo video at 0.25 speed to slow it down more. Thanks for sharing. The fracturing of the glass after the .50 was already through was fascinating to watch.
I feel the blast is harder for myself than the actual recoil. Last time I was on the Barrett 82 my first shot was on the money and my second shot was a flier due to flinch and I haven’t had enough trigger time to overcome it
Additionally, you can see how the recoil from a 50 BMG causes a shockwave strong enough to put a smile on your face. Thanks to this slow-mo we can now verify that fact.
Love this channel! Destin, you're awesome. All your videos are freaking awesome as is this one. I seriously envy you man and I hope one day by chance I actually get to meet you in person. You're a genuine human being who is fascinated with the way our world works as am I, but you've helped me see alot of things in a totally different light over the course of these last couple years and I've learned so much, so thank you for that.
ExTREMELY entertaining vid guys! Great collaboration! I originally saw Gav&Dan's bit with the 50. Then I found this one. Freakin AMAZING. Keep doing what you're doing!
Blazer06 I have and that’s why I’m saying getting hit with hot brass isn’t that bad, if you’re gonna be a dumbass and stick your fingers in the casing then yes it’s going to burn but getting hit with hot brass isn’t even painful in the slightest
+cykz70 You can do frame by frame in RU-vid. After hitting pause you can go frame by frame forward or backward with the: < and: > keys. EDIT: in this case, because it's already slowed down, you need to press a few time for the next frame to show.
N3Toolarmy, at first, I thought it was a demoranch video by the gun then I realized it was on the smartereveryday channel so I thought it was a collaboration with demoranch then I found out it was with slowmoguys... tbh, a little disappointed haha
That was cool, thanks for sharing, SmarterEveryDay and Slo Mo Guys. I'm reminded of some old military training films that show how that half-cone phenomena is 'counted on' in naval warfare when an armor-piercing projectile is fired through the armor-plated bulkheads of a target ship... not only does it pierce through the layers and explodes, it also creates those half-cone fragments out of the armor plating which can travel along and break through the layers deeper inside the target ship.
The thing about this guys videos... Before he even gets to the point,after maybe 10 s of his video I give a thumbs up. Because in those first 10 seconds you realize the content will be good. He is a good story and visual teller.
At 5:59 if you go frame by frame, the very first frame where the .50 cal hits the glass, there is a bright flash of light. Do you think that its the tip of the round heating up to crazy temperatures from the energy of impact being converted to heat, or is something else going on there?
Another possibility is sonoluminescence. If the heat/pressure is enough to make the polycarbonate act like a fluid the bullet might cavitate briefly and cause a flash. Just judging by the color a rough estimate (screenshot + CIE 1964 10 degree colour matching function) of the temperature is around 6750 K. That seems low for sonoluminescence temperatures, so simple heating (or some other explanation) is more likely.
I like the idea of sonoluminescence. Going back and calculating for KE, assuming he used a 700 grain .50 BMG round (45g at 2978 ft/s), would give the round around 18.54 KJ of energy. Using that number along with the specific heat equation, it could easily get hot enough to melt the glass, copper jacket, or lead. However, on the extremely small timescales I'm not sure if it could overcome the thermal inertia of the materials in order to make them melt. I think we're on the right track, but definitely missing something.
It doesn't matter what material that is being shot, a round almost always does this. Another channel here on RU-vid, called taofledermaus that usually films exotic shotgun rounds in slowmo has shown this many times. They also don't know why it does it.
Definitely, Yaw Lo, and latest breaking astrophysical scientific news is that it has made several orbits around the Earth but is running out of momentum and is soon to finally return to Earth, right down the center of that "Deepest-dug-hole/World-Record" pit in Russia and will crack through that last layer that the Russians stopped drilling at and will break that layer (which happens to be the Earth's natural geographic safety seal) and all the hot magma and lava and stuff will come erupting up through that broken seal and up the hole and erupt out to the surface, thereby deflating the whole planet and destroying the Earth and all life aboard it. @SmarterEveryDay... Way to go, Smarty-PantsEveryDay Man! ;-)
At 0:58 you will see they used a mirror at an angle to make it look like it was headed straight for the camera. No cameras risked taking one for the team in this video😉
I like how both videos you guys got had super awesome visual tricks, the slow mo guys and their mirror blurring into the back ground and the way the shards of mirror were in focus for fractions of a second in yours ~(5:40) Well played all around, now go hang out with Matt from demo/vet ranch for a weekend
Start to the point!!!!! Wow everything about this video is extremely high performance! You can tell so much went into this video to deliver above Hollywood standards in film production!! Thanks guys!!!!!
first time on your channel, subscribed to both channels.. and I am literally the hardest guy to convince to subscribe.. but you have earned it my brother. good job
I served with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in Vietnam in 1969. We had the M2 Browning 50 caliber machine gun (M1919) mounted on all out tanks and armored personnel carriers. It could easily penetrate engine blocks and as we believed anything else we might encounter. A brutal, effective weapon for the last 101years. It was put into service at the end of WWI and is still in use today.
