Exploding Arrowhead! Bow Mag 357 Magnum ( 

As I mention at the end of the video, it's a bad idea to depend upon hitting bone for something like this to work. Regardless, the product never worked as intended and wouldn't even break a windshield with a direct hit: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OISy9exvCyI.html

The couch arrived in two boxes four days early, which was great because we'd just moved into a new house and needed places to sit. My son and I put it together pretty quickly ru-vid.comUgkxitRzxya-XugamYgLwa_2G1gxPg4MCJHa . Another reviewer suggested inserting the seat into the side and I'm glad they did as the instructions weren't clear on that matter. It's incredibly light and slides easily across the wood floor, making it easy to move. It's firm, but comfortable. It will even be great to nap on. I got the gray, which definitely has strong blue undertones, but I'm okay with that.

He’s finally combines the twang and the bang. You’ve reached your final form.

"This did not go off! It did not fire!" I think the fact that you didn't hear a .357 go off was a big clue.

Made in 2014, adds "#Fortnite boom bow" in the title to trick the algorithm *STONKS*

I conceal carry a bow mag. I carry it on my back but it barely prints under my red satin cape.

America: combining an ancient weapon with guns since forever

I really don't see how that would be good for hunting. Seems like it would cause waaaay to much damage to the meat and you'd end up throwing away a big portion of your kill.

Dude. That could have been a hangfire on the first shot! You had your face right in that gel getting that arrow out. Holy shit.

8:12 that's what she said

I would think you would get the same effect with Hilti impactgun loads, the kind meant to drive nails into concrete. I don't know how legal these would be but deffinetly fun target practice. Love to see a 20 guage slug version oh yeah.

I think the strongest message is that ballistic gel is NOT an analog of an animal body - it provides a proxy that can be compared for penetration measurements, but it isn't a usable experimental medium for tests such as these. I also think a .357 blank, facing backwards, with a firing pin ahead of it that impacts the primer when the nose of the projectile deforms might provide a viable explosive head that would incapacitate a large animal, but I'm not sure that wouldn't fall under explosive device or some such under NFA rules. And I think it's an open question whether or not an arrow's velocity is adequate to provide the deformation needed. Interesting test!

When you want to fire your bow and shoot your gun at the same time.

"you can put my fist inside of that" hahahhaa

Whoever sold you that crossbow had a wonderful sense of humor.

That's awesome. The forward force of the explosion stopped the arrow from penetrating as deep as the previous two, even though you increased the force of the arrow.

I have personally never used this product but from the reviews, it turns out to be more of a flub than anything else. For starters, the lack of a barrel means that the gunpowder would not have much space or time to properly burn at all. I have always said, that the key to successfully hunting big game with a bow, is having an excellent quality broadhead. Two bladed or three bladed, with adequate sharpness and penetrating point. An arrow functions the same way as a knife or sword that is thrown at high velocity, and you want the cutting edge to be extremely sharp.

I am no hunter,but to me it looks like a waste of a good shot,a good arrow,a good bullet and money.

I made a exploding dart/bullet before , it won't explode if you shoot ground or something soft , if it did explode ! The dart sometimes shoot back to me . Mean your arrow will flew back to you . So be careful ...

Heard of putting a shotgun primer in an arrow, and gluing a BB to it. Filling the entire arrow with black powder and compressing it. Supposedly makes a long cavity if it explodes, but mostly cool to shoot hard targets with. Watch for aluminum or fiberglass shards though.

that is an awesome idea. good thing to have if you were ever in a situation where you needed to draw attention away from where you are.

You know what are really good at shooting bullets? Guns.

We used to take a spent 38/357 casing, a strip of caps, and a cheap wooden arrow( point cut off) and make a bang stick. But we'd fire beyond a thicket we knew deer to be to spook them towards us.

He pushed it through y'all. He then handled a round with a dented primer in his hands. This guy is truly a living what not to do gun safety video.

Maybe try freezing the watermelon and allow the outside defrost a little bit so the center is still frozen so you get some penetration before it hits the hopefully harder core.

"It won't go off." "It didn't go off." "If we can't make this thing go off..." Me: Fire at a tree!

My suggestion to him is hone the firing pin to a finer points as the resistance that flesh does not provide will not set off the round consistently, a finer points will offset the need for heavier drag.

There for shooting dinosaurs not watermelons. You need to find a dinosaur.

thank you for doing this test fire video. it saved me a great deal of time and money I can honestly say I would not purchase this product after what I seen.

Great test bud! I just did my test on them today......SAME ISSUES! I even used meat! Keep it up brother. -Andrew GY6vids

Next up: "TAPING A GRENADE TO MY BOW!"

I made one years ago. The and of the arrow was glues to the back of .38 or 12 gage. Shell. The primer is set off by a finishing nail I side the arrow shaft. The nail slams into primer when the arrow hits target. Works every time.

You mentioned that most of the damage being caused by gas expansion, what then is your opinion on using a blank cartridge. I have a lovely scar on my shin from a misguided safety demonstration from army cadets when I was 14 I know blanks have power close to an object.

no animals were harmed AFTER the make of this video

Easier to pull the round out and punch the primer from inside cartridge? Thanks.

Are those the easton carbon arrows? for some reason they dont seem to hold up well for me. They are too brittle and they eventually snap

“Wow, I can fit my fist in that!” Seems like I’ve said that a couple times before 🤣

try filling an aluminum arrow up with black powder and tape an blasting cap to the tip

Is that legal or any good ide'a to hunt with those? There is good arrow heads that do the kill.

The round is phenomenal. It needs to strike bone in the target to explode. That is spectacular! Imagine the damage!

Isn't that kinda redundant? I mean, a fixed broadhead arrow and a well placed shot will kill it and you also don't have to deal with shrapnel in the meat. I've bit down on shotgun pellets in meat before, not fun.

Did that tip have the word ACME written on it? I think I've seen Wile E. Coyote use that against the roadrunner once. Didn't work for him either.

Wondering if there could be a design of a ballistic arrow that used the shaft of the arrow as a snubbed end barrel that still could use the target impact as the trigger for a firing pin to fire the round.

What's that piece called? That body extension that makes it look like a Rifle have a compound bow but I'd love to be able to put a scope on it.

I've been watching your guy's videos for a while now you do some interesting things.

Great video! I really thought putting the hide in front would have done the trick using just the bow. I haven't seen any videos from users that would make me run out and buy these things.

Please tell me where I can get them? This is amazing. I think they will work well with crossbows with over 370 fps.

How about an arrow within the arrow sping loaded and triggered upon impact wouldnt that be more conventional then spraying gunpowder into the meat?

With a small dimple on the primer is it safe to actually touch that round don’t have a lot of experience with firearms but I’d be very very careful of that particular round

Twang and Bang. Literally.

How do you keep from setting it off when you initially fire it

It works great if you have a crossbow, not so much a regular bow though

I could see this being good for hunting bear or cape buffalo, or something else that can hunt you back. Stick this into a bears hip bone, knee or ankle and you've got yourself a big animal that can't charge any more. I doubt it would make it past the skull though. Bear skulls are stupidly thick. And as for a cape buffalo? Forget about the head. I don't think they even have brains, just a huge ball of bone and sinu. They run off of a windows 95 comp they keep hidden in their fur.

“No, this didn’t go off... “ with fingers right on explosive cartridge... KABOOM!!!

Loved it, so I went and bought a recurve bow.. Straight away.

Your content is so good my man keep up the good work 👌

You had me at twang&bang!

"I can put my fist inside of that" now that's a real man. Filling holes with his body parts xD

What is that - stock? (Thank you for reply.)

What kind of bow is that i know im behind in time i have a compound and a cross bow but that looks like a cross bow with a hellifknow whats attached to it lol it dont look nothing like my bows

Meant to hit bone to detonate not just soft material

8:15 "Thats impressive I can stick my fist inside of that!" Says the groom to his bride on there wedding night!!!!LMFAO

What keeps that from firing on release? Seems the kinetic energy from the bow alone would make it fire?

Like Dukes of Hazard! You can make your own with regular shells that may be more effective.

This is literally TWANGnBANG 🏹 💥🦌

Bullets have no impact force . A bullet gets is power from gas expansion in a confined space, the barrel.

Perhaps it would hit bone and explode but they need more sensitivity in that trigger system, of course.

Looking at this item I am prompted to wonder if the cause of its failure to detonate was the inertia of the round moving it rearwards on launch, not hard enough to fire the primer but enough to see the round much closer to the firing pin on impact thereby preventing the round reaching sufficient speed to strike the firing pin hard enough to detonat the primer. Would a smaller round pushed forward by a light spring possibly make a difference? The light spring would absorb the initial acceleration and keep the round forward, the shorter case of the lower powered round would increase the distance the round traveled and the inertia it generated before striking the firing pin, might be worth a try, sometimes less is more!

You look like such a nice guy holy shit

Federal primers are softer than usual. Maybe you should try them.

As someone pointed out it goes off when it goes through hide and hits something solid like bone.

The block of ballistics gelatin is interesting. I never saw one of those before.

"Wow that's impressive! I can put my fist inside of that!" Remember people, context is always important.

It is easy to understand how someone could have a idea to combine bullet and arrow. What I cannot understand is how it got past the proof of concept stage and into production. The BowMag is at best a curiosity to be put in a museum right next to the perpetual motion machines. At worst it will be used on game animals leaving the injured critters to die a slow death from this abomination.

You need to have a focused blasting-cap devise behind the bullet's pin to sufficiently force it into the firing pin.

How fun is that.....fricken cool a side heart shot through the ribs would be enough resistance but look you are talking about a high pressure explosion inside the body cavity the internal shock alone would drop just about anything and I would figure that would be awesome bear repellent

As long as your animal has partical board in em 🤣🤣🤣

a tiny steel barrel on the bottom part will make it go thru without expanding the case

I wonder if hollow points would increase the resistance of the bullet after impact enough to fire the primer. If it manages to open the point with only the impact of the arrow it might?...idk

What do you call the shoulder extension for your bow? please let me know

I mean let's just be honest with ourselves anyone who's seen Rambo first blood part 2 and watched him shoot those exploding tip arrows always dreamed of being Rambo shooting those exploding tip arrows so I think that's what's going on here it's our inner Rambo that's wanting to be....well John freakin Rambo.... LIVE FOR NOTHING OR DIE FOR SOMETHING!! HOORAH!!

8:15 - That's what she said....

Its overpowered in late game, just keep height. Hopefully vaulted soon

Have it so the plastic shell presses in to the round and not peel back

time to revisit the windshield test or a car door. I bet a low velocity shot would still set off the round. My question with that application would be could you get a hit on the target behind the glass or door, with the bullet.

Your videos are just getting cooler and cooler :)

Kinda did what I thought .. you got better penetration with just the broadhead.. the force of the round going off slowed the forward momentum of the arrow .. and with no back pressure the bullet was usless

You need to make primers with thin aluminium sheet(soda can) i.e. easier to dent.

8:12 "I could put my fist inside of that": twang& bang

Quite literally twangnbang.

I first got the bomag and tried it out on the frozen turkey I put a bullet size hole in the front and blew out about 4in worth through the back of the turkey. My arrows or bolts were toast because I used my Raptor crossbow. You may want to try using turkey from the store! You might have a lot better results then.

The rounds primers are the issue... Try using some that are a bit more sensitive.... Reload some and try it out.. I use blanks with mine and haven't had an issue yet...

If Arnold could do it in Predator than why not

What will happens when you put it on a sniper maybe it do some more dmg

I would be afraid it would hit the gel turn towards me somehow and boom man down 357 ain't very forgiving either buddy pretty brave and when any ammo ignition within close proximity or upon contact with anything your gonna get powder burns

He sounds like Randy from the Trailer Park Boys

Can u talk about the safety in this things I bought some and I'm.dcared to use it what if they go off on my hand after firing

My suggestion would be to freeze the watermelon to double up it’s viscosity and then try it again but I don’t think these are something you can reliably hunt with
