    Love the way the spinning round hits the plate and compacts and stops rotating but starts rotating again as it relinquishes contact with the plate. The kinetic energy of the spin remains as potential energy until it's free of the plate and converts back to kinetic rather than the spin just being stopped and it rebounding straight back. Amazing.

    I have a request for you guys: Many hunters, including myself, place a piece of masking or electrical tape over the muzzles of our hunting rifles. Question: Does the compressed air ahead of the bullet break the tape's seal or does the bullet pierce the tape? I think it would be a great experiment. Quick & easy.

    • @PARRISHMELLOTT
      @PARRISHMELLOTT 6 місяців тому

      It would pierce the tape.

    • @verakoo6187
      @verakoo6187 6 місяців тому

      Pretty sure the answer would be both, or the gas. It cant be blown off by the bullet, at that speed it would just pass through it like nothing leaving no energy behind. The gas is going to be what causes the shockwave to blow it off, but this is happening nanoseconds. So it's very likely the bullet will still pierce the tape before it is blown off.
      Easy thing to test without a camera, especially if u do it often. Check the tape after u shoot. Hole = both, no hole = gas.

    • @CGT80
      @CGT80 6 місяців тому

      What happens when you put tape over the end of a syringe? The air has to go somewhere before the plunger gets to the bottom. A gun is like an engine or air pump/pneumatic cylinder. If there is 10k to 60k psi of gas behind the bullet, the air isn't going past the bullet, and ideally the bullet obturates which seals the bore and keeps the gasses from passing the bullet. The air either has to be capable of compressing enough without breaking the seal on the tape or it blows the tape off. A person could test this without firing the gun just by driving a bullet down the bore from the chamber to see how easily the tape comes off.....it may pop the tape from driving the bullet by hand. A lead bullet would be easier to test or even cerrosafe metal at the right temperature. With the potential speed of the air leaving the barrel, the air could blow a hole in the tape. Again, it depends on the type of tape and how well it sticks vs. breaks. I happen to be a pro at using tape.......as a painter for many years and also did lots of electrical. Electrical tape can be quite tough and masking tape can tear very easy compared to electrical tape. A metal tube and a blow gun from an air compressor would probably easily break masking tape. You could also look up how fast a bullet accelerates to speed, but we know it hits full speed inside the barrel so someone really good at math probably knows how to calculate pressures, or do some google searching and figure out how much pressure the volume of air would make based on the force on the bullet and then test your tape on a tube with the same pressure of compressed gas.

    Armour restorer here. Whilst metal-detecting in England in the 80's I found a 'bullet' (musket ball) on the field adjacent to the Naseby battlefield site (Battle of Naseby 14th June 1645). This 100% lead musket-ball has mushroomed perfectly just like a flower!
    I always had a feeling that what it must have hit was the body of a cannon or an iron-rim or hub of a cart-wheel for it to mushroom like that, as the conventional trooper armour in the day wasn't really man enough to completely fragment a lead ball in my experience, unless shot at a breastplate at near point-blank range like when armour from the same period was proof-tested.So CERTAINLY possible on the battlefield... it was just a feeling I had, as the HUNDREDS of balls I recovered, most of which are deformed I only found ONE like that!
    Normally a ball would either pierce 17th century armour if within effective range or merely flatten/deform if outside its effective range.
    Some I have, clearly clipped the edge of something/someone as they look like they have been bitten by a junkyard dog!
    Interesting video! Nicely done. Best wishes from a French forest. ⚒️🇬🇧⚒️

    At indoor ranges they go on and on about the ventilation and lead inhalation. For 35 years I really didn’t know what they big deal was. Seeing that 30-06 turn to lead powder was fascinating. NOW I get it.

    • @CGT80
      @CGT80 6 місяців тому

      There is also lead compounds in the primers in ammo, which is even worse because it burns and turns into a gas. You have to eat or breathe in the lead for it to be harmful. Bullet casters have had high blood lead levels and found that no longer going to an indoor range but continuing to cast bullets brought their levels down to normal. Casting with decent ventilation isn't as bad with just a pot of melted lead because it isn't heated the same as the gasses from a gun firing and there isn't dust all over. I'm glad I have a private outdoor range that I belong to for the lead, noise, and a bunch of other ways shooting outside is better.

    A thing that is under appreciated about steel is how broad the term actual is. The term is used for carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel all of which have a wide range of properties depending on how their manufactured and small or in certain cases large changes in how much and what type of materials are added to the alloy. The range of strength in steels goes almost two full orders of magnitude and they can have wildly different chemical, electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties as well.

    4:00 Alternate theory, Seeing that the "sparks" seem to be coming from a point smaller than the petals, I think that there is a good chance these are not sparks at all but rather the air caught within the hollow point combusting from the rapid compression on impact and exiting through the gaps between the petals. But that's just a theory 👀
    Edit:
    You can also see that the light is coming from the space between the petals rather than the petals themselves if you watch the following frames where the bullet expands and compare the petal locations to the light locations.

    In addition to the impressive splash of the copper jackets and the lead interiors, when you hit the white circular target there is an acoustic "ping"; I loved how the ping became a deep "gong" when played back at slow speed. Shock wave shadows, dramatic spatters, and a deep gong... something for everyone!

    That piece of steel you found appears to be a "static steel" target, which is most likely hung from a 2x4 piece of lumber (cheap and commonly available), which is then set in a steel stand of some sort. That piece is likely AR500 or AR550 steel, which is essentially armor plate and extremely hard. These are commonly set up in different arrays for a course of fire in a shooting competition, like Steel Challenge.

      I was just gonna ask about that, I didn’t expect such a difference in steel but I guess I should’ve after seeing steel challenge targets stand up to all sorts of hell.

    Would love to see an episode where you guys look at different car parts under load. Seeing an exhaust back fire a turbo spool up and blow off stuff like that would be amazing to see.

    As someone who has always been naturally good with rifles... I'm consistently impressed by Dan's ability to hit extremely accurately with any weapon/explosive/whatever.

    The more shooting videos they make, the more I'm certain Gav made Dan join the army, so they could make quality content.

    always love how the metal flinging out to the sides is a liquid but freezes solid so quickly to create those weird fragment shapes

    just a bit of bullet info from a amateur gunsmith ... the hollow point bullets are designed to peel back but ideally not break apart ..you want all the mass to stay together because as it loses mass it losses penetration potential ...HP=expanding bullet .. now frangible bullets are designed to break apart .. I think you guys would love shooting a 308 frangible bullet ... as far as the steel ..the circle steel you shot was most likely AR500 through-hardened steel plate ...another interesting thing you can do is put cardboard around the outside of the steel plate and shoot it with various rounds and you will see the splash pattern in the cardboard ..or put watermelons etc around the sides of the plate ...especially if you use frangible bullets ... I would be happy to send you various rounds I think people would love to see slow-mo (myself included) .. RIP rounds,frangible,steel core,frangible core,m855 penetrator green tip (5.56),30cal tracer rounds,5.56 tracer rounds and then some special homemade 30cal :-) ...love the show thank you

    "you're a pretty good shot" said whilst the video has the most warped of warped stabilization I've ever seen. The irony is not lost on me and I'm all here for it!
