+Kimble Angus tbh it may well have been partially the copper sleeve but it was the plasmafied neon gas acting as a sort of plasma torch upon impact im guessing however the range of that effect would be quite limited still nasty up close wonder what a aerodynamic solid projectile would do at long range also wondering what the velocity is on that thing as well has to be quite significant if at 20 yards it ricocheted and returned more than 20 yards to hit the camera man with what looked like maybe 20-40gr of copper projectile / casing
For those of you doubting the fact that the copper would work in a railgun, you need to take a quick browse through any webpage actually explaining how a railgun works. ANY conductive material put between the rails will be spat out at high speed. Alex, I understand why you think that the spiral rails would cause rifling, but you'll get better velocity and accuracy, as well as easier construction, by switching to straight rails and using a discarding sabot with a conductive armature (steel would not be recommended, due to erosion on the rails... I'd say copper is the best choice.) along the back. Sabot should be plastic of some sort, and 3-d printed would be the best way to go for that.
And that he shot a weapon but where's your proof its fake cause you can't 100% prove its real or fake so there's a chance it could be fake or real or both
For nations, these new technology is probably already researched but putting it on to soldier is a nightmare in terms of logistics, first you must find source for the material large enough to fit the number then making a factory for these guns and ammo and then distributing it to rank&file soldiers. But for the common people you can recreate this and theres tons of BP on the internet, you just need to know the place to search it, like how it takes years for a country to equiped its soldier with gunpowder rifle from a bow.
@@topsdaily_productions the common soldier gets equipment from the lowest bidder mind you. The colt m4a1 rifle was the lowest cost Ar15 they could get so they went with it. They afterwards didn't go with the Magpul Masada/ bushmaster ACR, nor the FN scar, nor the hk 416 nor nothing.
@@topsdaily_productions hahaha lol @ "military tech is not held back". No the people who are allowed to use real tech fall under "civilian contractor". Military gets the bare minimum for fulfilling a given function. Not to mention, people let "our leaders" give all our tech to china. Now they do R & D but we don't. Where do you think that's heading? It's no accident either. Not incompetence. Just good old-fashioned treason stretching back to the 1950s.
@Dranoel yeah it's crazy how you can literally leap-frog cutting edge military technology from your own garage. We've gone so far beyond having any excuse for using such primitive & wasteful technology on any level: energy, guns, aviation, computing... etc, etc, etc.
It's up to guys like him to ensure we don't get too sad not living in the future science fiction writers and movie makers have imagined for us. I'll be ok with Facebook being the closest we get to Skynet though.
The grip looks like an AR-15 grip. The stock is either retracted or removed. No magazine in it, he just has a single round already loaded into the chamber. The shit he sticks into the back is just for show. It sounds like an AR-15 too. Not to mention no part of the process he explained on how it functions would result in an explosion like as it sounds when he fires it. Plus he sounds like he's bullshitting, I can hear it in his voice.
That kind of looks like an Institute rifle? wait a second look at his name. Smyth get rid of the m and put an n between the Y and T. what does that spell? SYNTH! I knew it Alex's is a Synth from 2287! Somebody call the Brotherhood of Steel.
This is a Gauss gun, not a plasma gun. A Gauss gun uses electromagnets turned on and off in a sequence to propel magnetic projectile. A plasma gun would launs either a beam, pulse, or toroid of plasma (4th state of matter, incredibly ionised gas) which would generally melt or vaporise some materials. Plasma is what stars are made of.
+Ishy OQGX If you want to be that technical, it's a Lorentz gun. The problem with the plasma is containment. This is the most practical solution I've seen... glass is cheap.
+Ishy OQGX correct me if I'm wrong but he stated the gun its self was a gauss gun but the projectile was the item that had neon gas that turned into plasma once it received the electric charge
+dead frost No, I think he said it was a railgun, which would use electromagnetic rails implementing the Lorentz Force that somehow moves a magnet at high velocity.
Very well done, my hat tips to you good sir, some of the best editing i have ever had the pleasure of watching on youtube. I sincerely hope you guys get work for this, best resume ever!
I realize this comment is hella old, but apparently you missed what's going on. Watch his other video on it. I'd say the cameraman was hit by a piece of shrapnel from the plate as the projectile punched right through with no problems whatsoever. Looks like he might have a tankbuster there.
@@gratefulguy4130 Well, I've seen enough gun videos to know for certain that if a projectile goes through steel with no problem, it'll be such a clean hole through the steel that it's almost as if a hole puncher was used and the steel was just paper, there might be some metal sticking outwards on the exit hole or even breaking off, but it shouldn't send shrapnel back at you. Maybe the projectile fragmented since it wasn't a standard projectile and made of copper. Regardless of that though, I don't remember what my exact impression of this video was since it was a long time ago and I haven't seen this comment since I posted it, I never even knew it got thumbs up. Anyway, I don't think I was commenting so much on it's overall power or potential, but I'm guessing my intent of my comment was to reflect on people's high expectations when considering about a railgun/coilgun. They're expected to be super-powerful, more so than conventional handheld weapons, so I think maybe I was saying that due to the common expectation of outstanding power, this was probably not as outstanding as people expected, but that's not to say it's not impressive, I actually don't know if it is or not. It's hard to tell exactly what happened due to the distance of the camera to the plate. I see something hit the ground behind the plate, but it's possible it was something other than the round, maybe a fragment of the plate? Maybe a piece of what's holding the plate up? Maybe it actually was the round. Who knows? It's cool regardless though, because if it can make that loud of a sonic boom, just from the projectile's speed alone, you know it's got some considerable power, probably enough to kill with one shot in the right circumstances.
Great video, would love to see the damage caused by the projectile. Did the cameraman get hurt? It was a strange end to the video. I watched the only two videos you produced with the " plasma gun", and one was so dark at the end I couldn't see anything and the other looked like your cameraman ended up out cold on the ground. Is there any chance you will produce another video with the plasma gun as the star?
Incredible work! I would also love to see close ups of the projectile (looks like a piece of art in and of itself from the night time video) and internals of the firearm. Fascinating stuff. I am very impressed!

camera man survive countless time ranging from end of the world to alien invasion or revolutional uprising but one man created a weapon to kill the god like immortal cameraman
+Zack Osborne the military isnt "Trying" to make this, theyre trying to improve it to make it efficient and better than a conventional gun. Anybody can make one out of homemade shit, its just not as great as a regular AR15
that is the coolest body kit I've ever seen for an ar15 should have covered the hand grip better and talked batteries instead of showing that nonsense projectile and the illusion would have been flawless
This could be done with linear rails and a projectile that is cunductive on both ends, passing the current from end to end thru the gas. One thing I think is happening too, is the plasma is going back to gas before impact. A more intricate projectile that uses a capacitor to store some energy from being shot, and keep it going thru the plasma for 2 seconds after firing.
+Derp DeDerp He is ionising it using electricity. It penetrates steel. Anyways, the magnetic field difference inside a railgun probably cause electricity to flow through the copper.
Why do you wish to believe this? On one hand, you are condemning the Government but you are also showing incredible faith in what they can accomplish. What makes more sense? The Government fooled the World and got away with it or as the live video shows, a 300,000+ lbs 767 carrying 9,000+ pounds of fuel traveling at 440 mph has a massive amount of kinetic energy.
+Hatredy11 138,000 people worked on the Manhattan project and the program was such a secret that even Truman didn't know about it and had to be briefed after he became president.
The Manhattan Project was kept a secret for 5 years, until the bombs went off. The Soviets had infiltrated it though. The purpose was to defeat our enemies, not kill Americans. So, you think the people who were tasked to take down the trade centers knew they were going to kill 2,977 Americans and kept quiet.
That's actually genius. If the military took emf generators from their mayham warheads and scalped it down or made a weapon that could chamber a round equipped with it they could easily make a plasma canon. Probably be easier to make it for tanks tho, they already kind use plasma in the mayham warhead to explode vehicle from the inside when it touches the air and the generator only turns on after impact which if the my have tech that can do that they can make plasma weapons easy.
@wooshifgay462😂 its an ar15 disguished as a railgun. Double helix rails? That much power? Puts something in the back without a gas system? So obviously fake.
What a seriously awesome contraption. I don't wanna be a PITA but my curiosity about this gun demands it. Can you please a) make a longer video with more instruction on your design and fabrication process and b) a video that shows the firing of the gun, impact and the resulting damage? I assume you wanted to get a video out there ASAP if the gun in action, but hoping for follow-up videos :)
+Philip Clarke Ya, I'll try to make a few more videos with it. This one was the second one. I am trying to show the damage to the target, but in the first one it was too dark so you couldn't see anything on video and on this one the cameraman cut filming before we could walk up and look at the target. So I think i'll make another one maybe this weekend but i'll fire and film it remotely so no one's in danger of a ricochet. I think i'll fire it from 50 yards or so as well so there will be a better chance of seeing the projectile. Thanks for watching! :)
+Alex Smyth I am quite curious, what exactly happened to your cameraman, It looked like a shock wave that stunned him, or was there a ricochet that nailed him?
Alex Smyth, do you have any info/data on the plasma aspect of the round? does it actually have any noticeable affect over just the copper jacket? Also, can you give us some details on what kind of capacitors you're using, charging, discharge power, muzzle velocity, etc.. I'm extremely interested in what you have built there and would love to pick your brain.
My dude!! Did this thing actually shoot through that ar500 body armor?! Like what?! If it did for real. Then you have something special on your hands. Like the military would love to know how you made this thing so efficiently savage. It’s most definitely breaking the sound barrier by far. It sounded like it ricocheted off the plate in this video.
since there are only 2 videos about this invention, i will assume the DoD put a lid on it. After all they came out with a Railgun Canon of there own. Something fishy going on there..
What an awesome guy! This could change future warfare! Just have batteries that charges energy in your backpack. My idea of the energy source is have a couple batteries in your backpack that charges on another energy source, then you plug one to fire, and then plug another giving you continues fire. That's my idea. But I hope his gun gets a serious attention from DoD and put this on the ground for future warfare.
+al len That was my first thought when I saw those Tesla Powerwall batteries were being released. If it can power a house, it should be able to power a rifle lol
Any one with even a basic understanding of how physics works knows that eavry action has an equal and opposite reaction and that the copper rails inside the rail gun make friction with make a force pushing against the forward force of the projectile witch would give the thing noticeable recoil when the project is moveing with high enough force.
So this is how, the starwars program from the 80s era was supposed to work, Basically using plasma to push projectiles at ulta high speeds. Or rather creating a mass driver. looks like this has a slight twist. instead of a solid shot
All the people bitching about it's range, FYI, for it to work it could possibly require over 2700 megawatts if it was actually a fucking plasma weapon?
