Is It Possible to Deflect a Bullet... With Your Hand?!? 

Matt took "slap rounds" too seriously

3:11 saying “don’t send us weird stuff” that is a sure fire way to get people to send you weird stuff 😂

Matt: "TAKE THAT JESSICA! Me: "Ok, but what did I do?"😅

My grandpa in ww2 told me one of his war stories. He had a buddy that was looking thru Binoculars over a wall scouting was shot along the top his fingers it ripped 3 fingers off. Pinky ring, middle. The bullet deflected just enough up to bounce to the upper left of his helmet by the temple saveing him from a headshot. Sadly he passed away in 2013. I wish he could retell all his stories. They were amazing to listen to. And some tragic things happened. I don’t really recall the soldiers name it happened to but I’m aware he had survived and was sent home safely after that incident.

Ballistics High Speed, Smarter Every Day, and Demo Ranch would be the ultimate guntuber science/fun collaboration.

Rock, paper, hatchet to the wrist was one of our all time favorites as a kid!

This video shows Mikey is a true "handy man" and will "give you a hand" anytime you ask !!!

Any other channel: *constructs a mechanism that’s perfectly timed to possibly slap a bullet out of the air* Matt: “haha string go slap” I literally can’t believe they timed a manual mechanism to slap a bullet. This should earn them like 1 million subs.

You slapped the bullet into your chest. You saved your open casket funeral.

"Take that Jessica! " had me dying........matt sure made a fan happy today.

I love Mikey's energy. He's the ultimate hype man!

6:31 that david's mom joke was brutal lmao

I really do love the “new” version of the channel. It’s not just Matt talking and no one else it’s him and his buds having a good time. I think this is my new favorite Demo vid. Awesome stuff Matt!

I love Mikey. What a great addition to the team he’s been.

Sometimes I wonder how much funnier stuff can get on this channel.....then Mikey takes ballistic gel fist to the head, takes a redo because it wasn't his face (a man of his word), and when he got hit.....i lol'ed so damned hard! Luv it. 😂😂😂😂😂

The way Mat was cheesing in the background when he punches Mikey in the face is priceless

Jenna's "Battle Axe!" 😂 that delivery was hilarious, the finger that was missing was even better 🤣😂

So doing a bit of maths: if a bullet (let's say a .45 ACP which is pretty accurate) flies at 250m/s and hits the hand from the side means that it is traveling 10cm (the approximate width of the hand) in 0.0004s, while the hand is moving at 25m/s, which is reasonable. In that time, while the bullet is in your hand, you can lower the trajectory of 1cm and bring 25m/s vertical velocity to the bullet, which means that if you have your hand at 30cm from your face you can all in all deflect the bullet of about 4cm (1 inch 9/16").

_"A bullet with my name on it came a-buzzin' through a bush!_ _And the big marine, he just swatted it with his hand._ _(Swatted it like it was a fly!)"_ 🎶

The smile on Matt's face in background as mikey takes it to the face is freaking hilarious. He was like a kid that just saw santa... 😂

LOL at the mom jokes.

Jenna's face said "I win" when she pulled the battleaxe!!

Mikey is literally the best thing to happen to this channel. He cracks me up every time.

The hand sliding down the face @ 9:50 has me dying😂😂 i watch it over and over

5:19 "possible survivable shot if he gets immediate medical attention" Kentucky ballistics: *scotts scar starts hurting* " Matt....

Thank you for the slow mo. It's a great touch and i hope you use it more

Best video you’ve put out in a while!! Feels like the old videos back in the day! Funny stupid jokes that I know are dumb but I still laugh. No fancy editing, just some good old fashioned demo ranch RU-vid content! Thanks for this one guys!! Great job!

I do think the slow mo guys and/or smarter everyday would’ve been a great collab for this.

Master Ken can deflect a bullet just by staring at it.

Cheers to Mikey for takin a couple hits for the fans

I absolutely love videos like this one. Also fan of many years. Thank you for all you do and share with us.

When he shot the plaster cast i call that✨relationship therapy✨

“Way less fatal” 🤣😂🤣😂 Isn’t that still 💀

I gotta "hand" it to you guys for a funny video !!!

Love Mikey, his energy and fun personality is amazing.

Matt why don't you have any in your collection yet AXMC ???

These antics crack me up every time! Your crew is the BEST!

Hey Matt, I´ve another idea to this video: Is it possible to stop a bullet, if you cover your face with your elbow? If someone points a gun at you, can you protect your face with a bent elbow? (Bone hit) Maybe protect your face with both arms/elbows? Sorry for my bad english ! Greetings from germany :)

You compiled a pretty awesome crew Matt, you can tell a lot about a person by who they surround themselves with.

Hey demo i dont even know if u will see this comment but im recentley paralyzed from the waist down like in the matter of a week when i got sick my whole world turned inside out i went from being the guy everyone could count on to having to count on everybody for everything im just have a rough mental time right now any advice so i dont keep it all balled up and explode one of these days anything is appreciated ima big fan man your videos tend to keep my mind out of the dark place so thank you for the joy and the fun you bring your followers thank you matt

Can't believe you pulled that off! That first time, you didn't know it'd be impossible to time. Never tell me the odds!

You should revisit all the myth buster myths!

Matt this feels like the old demolition ranch. You and micky are having fun. I will say it's better then it has been thanks for getting back to having fun. We need this content and you do too.

The fact he said let’s do it again is gold

"Talk to the hand!"

Mark Rober is shaking his head….! Do a redemption video but include him next time. He can do all the science & math involved!

Y'all having too much fun!😂 the slo-mo got it!

Great intro, great puns, the team just having fun and doing some testing in the meantime. Perfection. Love it. 👌❤

We've learned this to be no from Mythbusters LOL the bullet just goes through your hand

My uncle did it, got hospitalized but survived but lost a lot of memory, he did slowly get it back but was bad enough for him to retire.

Really funny mom jokes and with the punching into Mikey’s face!!

How have your Vids gotten more professional, yet less professional at the same time. The best part is for me it feels like old school demo ranch again. You actually look like your having fun again.

Rock paper shotgun is my favorite way to play rock paper scissors. I find rock paper axe to be too personal, yknow?

2:15 i guess it's just a theory. A GUN THEORY !

I really impressed that the sun glasses survived 2 punchs to Mikey's face.

I love how David calls the answers for us nearly every time

Man, I absolutely laughed my ass off while reading the headline and I haven't even watched the video yet.

Starting my morning with my buddy Matt. Better than paying attention to class lol

your guest is such a character, i love him

3:13 Matt: “Back to the video. Don’t send us weird stuff!” Yeah, send the weird stuff to James Reeves

i cant handle the your mom jokes🤣

God bless you and your family Matt!

Most inventive episode yet. Great job guys (and gal)!

That vice grip mechanism is just 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

This goes against all the don't tell Mere!! Haha love the intro

The fact that none of them felt like sitting down, doing the math and figuring out the timing between the bullet velocity and the spring to make this more accurate; is the most American thing in this video.

That bee @8:06 is like 'woah guys, woah, was just stopping by out of concern.'

Ouch Mikey. That was fun to see yall back at the old range.

Frank a real one

The mom jokes were hittin. Hahah

Incredible timing in that first shot

Loved the mom jokes and Mikey is the man!

I don't know about deflecting it with your hand but I once deflected one with my shin.

Really running out of ideas, huh?

Incredible that you timed it perfectly on the first try. But also, if a person was fast enough to deflect a bullet with their hand, they'd be fast enough to just move their head.

That was one of my favorite videos you've done. Hilarious!

Now we're hittin it every time "Just like Matt's mom" was gold!! I was waiting for some type of come back for Matt's jokes..lol

I'm amazed they hit the bullet with the hand on the first shot. Great job.

8:09 THE BEE PROBABLY TWEAKED 💀

YES! Mere getting involved in the intros, finally!

The mom jokes had me laughing

I’m Floored that it worked at all, let alone the first time. Impressive boys!

"Just like Matt's mom." DOG YOU CANT SAY THAT 😂

7:35 "I feel like this is live leak back in 2014" - best comment on this channel ever 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I had to look at the opening twice great

the timing on that first shot with the hand is insanely good

"Let's try that again, hit me on the top of the head" 😂

This was one of the best ever!

That first shot was incredibly timed. Myth-Busters need a week and multiple robots to make that shot.

The fact you got that right on the first time is absolutely incredible.

Love your vids . Keep it up

Mikey coming in with that perfect timing for the first shot.

The intro, and the "punch line" at the end ! 😂

Props to Mikey. He needs to be in more videos.

I saw a guy who "caught" a .22 in his hand. Someone was robbing him, believe fairly close, shot at his head and the victim managed to put his hand up to block. Caught it in the proximal knuckle between 2nd and middle finger where it stayed until surgery. The angle was "just right". Was incredibly lucky for being in such a terrible situation. Gave the robbers his money and they still did that to him at like 10am in a gas station parking lot.

I saw Matt at a restaurant in my town last week. I didn't get a chance to speak to him but I recognized him.

You have to love Matt's version of science! Epic video as always!

Thank you. For sure ,you are a very good shot . Excelent video on a deflection of a bullet off of one's hand to maybe save one's life.Keep on making great entertainment and video's they are great

Poor Mikey.. "shark attack!!" Lol

Happy Valentine's Day Frank! Well done!
