This week's reason to pre-invest in Aperture Laboratories: CEO and founder Cave Johnson's announcement that the applied sciences company is making its military-grade turret line available to consumers.
The genius of this is that it actually explains why the bullets barely hurt you in the game, it's because they're just fired with a spring, they don't actually ignite the propellant.
@@user-py3kd6pw7y Added the fact that the turret couldn't turn and can be easily disabled by a gentle knock. Making the turret as effective as alarm clock.
Nothing is funnier to me than bullets fired at a safe enough velocity to travel a direct line but not enough energy to penetrate anything other than paper. Genius
Edd Jones lol isn't that in the portal video thing. But your still wrong in this instance because he's ejecting ammuntion that is still usable, therefor he is not firing anything.
everyone loves the "whole bullet" gag but "introducing the consumer version of our most popular military-grade product" always gets me for some reason.
0:34 the Desert Camo Turret says “I’m different” and I used to think the Prometheus Turret in the game was rescued and painted into the desert colours lol
They're bullet-filled, egg-shaped, tripedal, stationary robots with a cute, squeaky voice that are programmed to mercilessly gun down anything that moves. And we still love them, even a decade later.
And they don't even fire the bullets, they fling the whole thing at you like metal nerf darts. Which is why you can take a faceful of bullets from them and not bleed out - they kill you with blunt force trauma, not actual gunshot wounds. They literally pelt you to death with whole, unfired cartridges.
Not sure if anyone has said this, but the reason Chell can survive so many bullets is because turrets fire the bullets using springs. That's why she doesn't die from the turrets as fast as you would expect. It was crazy hearing this the first time, rather than "video game logic" there's an actual story related reason for character sturdiness.
+shitosusansen ..... the rest is the gunpowder and primer... it's a joke, because by design, it's impossible to fire the cartridge since it holds the propellant that pushes the bullet down the barrel. It has to stay in the chamber or there would be nothing pushing the bullet down the barrel and out the gun.
compmanio36 Looked like the turrets were using a coil of some sort to push the bullets out. Either those coils have the magic touch, or they shouldn't be able to fire at all. Wait, how is it that they have a flash when they fire if there's no explosion?
Magic? LOL Actually, rail guns like what the Navy is just starting to put into service use magnets to accelerate a ferrous slug to high velocity, without using gunpowder. Those fire the entire slug because that's all that's put into the chamber....no cartridge required, because no need for an explosion to accelerate the round. They often DO create a characteristic "muzzle flash" as a regular gun does, but not because of burning propellant. It's actually superheating of the metal of the magnets and the air around the slug that creates the fireball out the end. Just search for "navy tests railgun"...pretty cool actually.
2016 and I still laugh at "How do we get so bullets inem'? Like this [Floods turret with bullets], plus we fire the WHOLE bullet. That's 65% more bullet per bullet!"

@BulletTheFox the airboat gun is from an helicopter, nooby, the revels them self said that before give it to you Both gunships and helicópteros need time to reload the ammo, thats why they shot on rounds The turrerts are the only that dont but they can also run out of ammo, in half life episode 1 you cant fine 2 on the tunnels after the train crafh wihout ammo and in the episode 2 there is a few turrets than cant shot anymore after beaten a phase
So, let me get this right: the bullets are fired by spring, not by actually hitting the primer to fire the bullet. So instead of just making the actual bullet, they decided to buy or make the whole bullet, with the casing. _Genius._
If you think about it, it's basically the same thing as buying some "knife looking" sharp projectiles at the size of a bullet, and put them to be launched by the spring, right? xd
I came here right after watching footage of the new Aperture Desk Job. SPOILERS!!! Since that game essentially shows us the origins of the turrets and we see he wasn't bodily alive to see the advanced kinds of turrets, does that mean he made these Aperture Science marketting videos post-humously?
Huh, so that's why the writers insist that Aperture Desk Job isn't entirely canonical. Broad strokes between continuities? An alternate timeline that's entirely possibly its own history since Cave started the Outsourcing Initiative? Who knows?
aperture science: we made a turret that has emotions and it fires the whole bullet! black mesa: we made a turret that needs a laser sensor to see enemies, and even then it just dies in 1 revolver shot
I'd like to point out, this means that the turret firing sounds are played through a speaker since they use springs instead of gunpowder. That also means that when a turret runs out of ammo, someone made it so it makes a clicking sound. This also implies that the AI doesn't know how much ammo it has since in portal 2 a turret didn't realise it had no ammo. This game is and always will be one of the top 3 of all time.
"65% more bullet per bullet" I get the impression they're making fun of the pseudo-scientific marketing that tries to make people believe that a product is better for containing more than it's competitors amount of the main ingredient.
A bullet, is a hollow metal case, inside is gunpowder,then it is covered in a shell. a hammer from a gun ignites the gunpowder, making it explode. the power from the explosion pushes the metal case thingy out the barrel. then the gun ejects the shell. The turrets don't do that, they just launch everything. That's the joke Twinrehz. you should be notified right now.
Literally, the employees are all lost in the building and haven't been able to do any work before it's time to clock out, Alyx was that time Gabe had a few moments to guide all the employees to their desk, because everyone had steam updating so he had a few minutes before he had to get back to single handedly moderating the entire thing and slapping anyone who tries to work on tf2 with a bug swapper.
SPOILERS for Aperture Desk Job - - - - - - - - - I'm astonished by the callback to the way bullets are poured into Turrets. When the Ammunition line breaks, all of them dump into the tank of the toilet to be fired out. Just haphazardly spilt inside, which is how bullets are shown to be loaded into modern Turrets
AlexFranma the bullet is initially launched by the hammer, but the power ignites anyway to give even more velocity. After all, the velocity is what makes it deadly.
Elu Arkham There's a turret in the game, which is called the "different" or "oracle" turret. You can save it from being incinerated, and then it will tell you things like "Her name is Caroline (GlaDOS)" or "Don't make lemonade (well, you know why)". That's what Sesshounamaru originally meant. (Quote: "did someone else got emotionally attached to the *oracle/different* turret [...]") In this video, there's another turret saying "I'm different", but I'm pretty sure it's more like a joke of valve, because the different/oracle turret is actually white ingame (like every other turret) instead of "Desert" or whatever. Still confusing? :D
Excuse me there good sir brethren but I think that there phrase you just used there may be interpreted in reference to the manga slash anime series known under the name of Jojo's Unusual Escapades
I always feel so bad when I throw turrets into watery pits or blow them up with lasers Especially when they do the little “whyyyyy” or when they say “I don’t hate you” My heart why are the murder machines so adorable
@@Dalziel45 I get why actual bullets are made the way for firearms but couldn't a mounted installation like a minigun create an explosion behind an actual bullet without any casing or primer?
@@deoxal7947 so like a cartridge that fires a cartridge? Or they can also regress to the age of flintlocks and percussion caps, I guess? After every entire cartridge bullet is fired, the explosion-mechanism is reset. I think it IS possible! It'd be a (pretty large) smoothbore, technically.
@@beavermuffin if you try to get close to baby. The turret will shot you no matter what you are and the baby will send to aperture science as subject experiment :)
Thinking about it, aperture probably helped in the black mesa "cleanup" Not just because of the turrets but mostly because of the boots that the black ops use
@@nikolairostov3326 I need a bigger printer to proceed sadly :( I will be moving to a bigger place end of the year I will invest in a larger printer and continue!
@@JimmyNahlousVisuals thank you for telling me, many more people would like to know about this, please give them an update on your channel if you have the time.
they just shoved in Jupiter tipped missiles into it and fired it at the nearest orphanage, and yada yada yada sued by the parents of the orphans yada yada, it was scrapped.
With the Tech Demo release, canonically this advertisement was made after his 'death', meaning the Cave speaking here is either the Giant Head, or a AI replica, meaning in one way or another, he survived and is still alive.
I had to read the comments to realize that the "65% more bullet per bullet" was because they fire the complete bullet, with case included. I think I'm retarded.
Taxtro It's intelligence. Or at least perception. The narrator says "65% more bullet per bullet" and then shows the turret shooting the whole thing, not just the bullet per se.
"Warning: standing close to turret may result in accidental empathy suppression" It's like being passive aggressive....you could cross that line that I told you not to cross, and if you do do it right now, your current state of life may be altered.
you can find that turret in the game, at the part where you jump across converyor belts you can rescue it, and it'll thank you and then go on to foreshadow the entire plot of the game
@@deoxal7947 with caseless ammo, the case is essentially made out of hardened explosive powder. The case is part of the exploding material, and the projectile is embedded in it. Here, they're firing the bullet just by pushing it, which is much farther away from cartridges than real caseless ammo is.
0:37 Did anyone ever notice that in that little "glitch" bit between the two scenes, there's a bunch of numbers that show up in the static that seem like they spell out some message?
Great, I noticed it too, I think thats definitly a code from Valve with information or something like that, btw thats a bit weird cuz its an commercial-like for Portal 2, and by then Cave is dead. The interesting thing is, that Portal Reloaded show us that time travel is posibble somehow, Portal 2 and Half Life shows, that Borealis is a thing, and it can destroy litteraly everything, and the Half Life Alyx show, that Gman is a thing too. These two last games are leatest, than Portal 1 and 2, but in Portal 2 Ending we have something VERY weird. On the moon we see an Apollo 11 Lander and a ,,Space Buggy" can I say. Apollo 11 took place in 1969, in this times Cave Johnson was alive, and Aperture was operated by humans, not robots like in Portal 2. I don't know what this mean, but definitly Portal and Half Life universum has some secrets to discover.
A bullet has parts, only the front part of the bullet flies out of a normal gun. These new turrets fire the whole bullet. That's 65% more bullet, per bullet.
You know, I'd heard about this guy for years, and now that I'm getting around to seeing these things I thought I knew what to expect. I was EXPECTING insanity, but I was not expecting him to SOUND so sane with his line delivery. This man could sell me a car that's just 4 roller skates taped to the bottom of a board pulled by a team of tiny dogs, and convince me that it was the best purchase I'd ever made.
"We use the whole bullet, so that's 60 percent more bullet- per bullet" I love how the characters say the same word over and over again. "They put it in me to stop me from flooding the chamber with deadly neurotoxin, after I flooded the chamber with deadly neurotoxin"
It was a morality core they installed after I flooded the Enrichment Center with a deadly neurotoxin to stop me flooding the Enrichment Center with a deadly neurotoxin. So get comfortable while I warm up the neurotoxin emitters.
