      Honestly, just for the extremity of it I would love to see what a 220 swift would do. They use the same 55gr or other applicable bullet from a 5.56mm with a much larger powder charge. 2300f/s is an acceptable average for a 5.56x45 cartridge from a decent barrel length, whereas the 220 swift gets the same projectile to 4000f/s.
      I accidentally hit a ½in thick 4in dia. AR500 gong with my 220 using a 55gr soft tip at too close a range when a wind gust blew it into my shot path as I fired. At 50 yards it blew a ¾ hole through the gong with sheer velocity alone.

But if you go with a compact semiauto, there's a few choices. Of course there's the FN PS90, but there's also the Ruger LC Carbine that is much less expensive.

    The original bullet looks less like a .22 and more like a .223 rifle bullet, but honestly looks even smaller. They may have used a .17 Winchester Super Magnum or .17 Hornady Magnum bullet, which is narrow and long and pointed, and looks about in scale. And it looks like a solid steel bolt, not copper jacketed lead, which would allow it to penetrate the other bullet and emerge intact.

    Re: appearance of being liquid. Shooting the standing part of a railroad rail, about 1/2 inch thick steel, the hole was about double the diameter of the bullet, and the inside of the hole had the appearance of being melted and immediately returned to solid. Its color was a dark shade of bluish gray, presumably iron oxide. That was with a .270 Weatherby, a 100 grain bullet at about 3800 feet/second. If you decide to have another go, I suggest keeping the .22 caliber that fits the hollow-point so well, and fire it from a .22-250 or other really hot .22's that can exceed 4000 feet/second. Since you have a .30-06, if you can find some Remington Accelerator ammunition with sabots and .22 bullets, that will get you much more velocity than any ordinary ammunition. That is how they get extremely high velocity with the main gun on our M-1 Abrams tanks, but the projectiles for that are somewhat larger than .22 :-)

    I can't speak for every movie studio, but a client of mine was one of the major ones. They simulate what happens using CGI and material properties are assigned to objects to get the 'physics' outcome. They simulate the same thing hundreds of thousands of times (Which takes literally 1 minute) until they get a 'true' movement. Not sure if they did the same in this movie, but I know that's how one of the big ones do it.

    • @concinnus
      @concinnus 19 днів тому +11

      They probably simulated it, but used too low a ductility for the lead. In the movie it shatters in a brittle fashion, like silicon, or I guess very chilled lead. If they'd done the same experiment as these guys they would have animated it better.

    • @oasntet
      @oasntet 19 днів тому +3

      Not all CGI is a physics sim. Sims are generally used when you have too many things to animate by hand, like particles of snow or the objects that make up an exploding building. Sims cost more to develop and run, but there's a breakeven point when you have a lot of stuff interacting with other stuff. When you only have two objects, it's often not worth developing a sim for it if you can semi-automatically animate everything with some simpler math.

    • @Deadlyspark
      @Deadlyspark 19 днів тому

  • @David-hm9ic
    @David-hm9ic 3 дні тому

    First, it was a great and enjoyable video. I have handloaded ammunition for decades so here's a little more perspective.
    There are a lot of variables that are not addressed here. The bullet in the original video is from a centerfire cartridge, probably a 5.7mm although there are .224/5.56mm bullets of that shape. The bullet is of either a full metal jacket or armor penetrating design and is traveling at 2 to 3 times the speed of the .22 rimfire bullet. The rimfire bullet is made of very soft lead and is .001"-.002" (.025 - .050 mm) smaller diameter than a .22 caliber centerfire bullet. The rimfire bullet is also significantly lighter and thus has far less energy. The .30-'06 bullets you used are of a soft point design, intended to expand on impact much like the hollow point .50 cal bullet so it was no surprise that they broke up. Any full metal jacket bullet and especially one of a diameter closer to 5.7mm would have likely made it completely through the base of the jacket of the .50 cal bullet. A "green tip" 5.56 NATO round has a steel core and would be a likely candidate to make it through the .50 cal more-or-less intact. A monolithic copper alloy bullet of 5.56 - 6.5 mm with a solid closed point would have been an excellent choice to prove the concept as well.
    It's very unlikely that shooting a loaded cartridge is going to result in much of a bang. Once the brass cartridge is broken open or the bullet is dislodged there is nothing to contain the pressure. Containing the pressure while the powder burns is what raises the pressure and makes the loud report of gunfire. I found a live rifle round at the range one day and set it up on the 100 yard target stand. When I shot it with another centerfire rifle, there wasn't even much of a flash. Some of the unburned powder was still in the cartridge when I recovered it.

You need the chamber to create the pressure in the case to push the bullet down barrel. Very cool video.

    Firing the .22 into the primer was pretty interesting to watch, and you are right about it needing a barrel to ignite all of the powder. Smokeless powder burns with much higher pressure and intensity than black powder, though "burn" isn't really accurate, as it more detonates since it's a grain propellant and not really a powder, but it does need a barrel to contain that pressure to ensure that all the grains get ignited. Anyone who's fired short barreled rifles will notice that a some of the powder doesn't get ignited and is thrown out of the barrel before it has time to ignite.

      Cook offs can occur with standard ammunition also.

    Thats incredible to see the shockwave transferring through the brass casing until it reaches the round and splits open...

    I think if you want the 22 to go through the .50 cal you need to use a much harder bullet like a brass solid (also the bullet from the movie looks more like a 5.7×28 mm than a 22 lr)

      Its some sci fi weapon in the movie, comics logic, no need to apply logic to that.
