You know, Gav joked but, the idea of a second channel called HowSensible, where you talk more in depth about the process of planning and carrying out these crazy stunts could be neat.
Now imagine being on a battlefield during the Napoleonic wars and having whole batteries of cannons firing high speed iron balls at you as you walk forward. This was a very good demonstration of why cannons make a mess of infantry formations.
I'm 95% sure they're not using the fancy 15 k ones, they're probably much more basic, cheap plastic skeletons, the ballistic gel and a little dye. The super expensive ones replicate real bone and organs.
If you focus on the sheet of plywood, And how it contorts, And how the smaller mattress performs perfectly, Compressing completely into the lower larger mattress, Without his brilliant solution, the bowling ball would not have travelled as precisely…
i was just thinking that myself. what scene it would have been for a group of men and literally having a dude explode next to you... and then getting absolutely maimed by pieces of skull....
So for those wondering: 400 mph is ~180 m/s. That's roughly how quickly a cannonball would be traveling mid-flight in the 18th and 19th centuries. The destruction is a good match for some period accounts too: There's a story of two French captains who hated each other. At the battle of Vellinghausen, a cannonball decapitated one man, and a piece of the skull put out the other captain's eye. So seeing all those pieces scattered so far, just gives a sense of the destruction a cannonball can do.
@@anonymousapproximation8549 correct me if i'm wrong but i think the word "handcannon" appeared later. i know at some points, cannons were called guns, and that's why when rifles like the arquebus or the musket came around, they picked the name "gun" up and as they became more proeminent in warfare, Cannons lost their "Gun" name i believe handcannons appeared later as a term to refer to particularily powerful pistols
@@anonymousapproximation8549 oh yes it would make sense, but what i'm saying is that i'm pretty sure the term gun actually came before rifles to refer to cannon.

One of the greatest and most wanted collabs I'd say. So happy to see intense slow motion with the ridiculous nature of breaking things, match made in heaven. What I was not expecting was the absolute brutality of seeing a bowling ball smash a skull into shards, I'm getting a headache just watching it smash them.
Pure Napoleonic realism level here!! Those battles were gruesome and yet so legendary! Now I have a better understanding of the ordeal Marshall Lannes had to face when he saw a good friend of his being literally decapitated by a cannonball, only to follow a similar fate when another cannonball ricocheted and destroyed his leg, eventually killing him after a sad, agonizing death...What a man!! No wonder why the Emperor himself cried profusely the death of one his best friends/ Marshalls, but also one of the best military geniuses of all time!! RIP, brave Marshall Lannes!!
Been waiting for this collab for many, many years. It did not disappoint. I always thought the Slow Mo guys and How Ridiculous would get on splendidly. Best friends forever!!!!
@@edn6671 not to my knowledge but I think I remember hearing gavin was only really going to appearing in videos as a guest I think don't quote me on that
What i liked about this was how real the reactions seemed. Howridiculous is usually very over selling the reactions. Seeing them in a more natual environment was nice. You watch their video they did, and they are much louder on their channel.
@@scottbilger9294 lol what? theyre both professionals, in fact they have the same job, theyre both youtubers, and in that arena HR dwarfs TSMG so claiming theyre just "kids screwing around" is pretty dumb. Personally I prefer the way the slow mo guys go about it but How Ridiculous is plenty valid in its own right and they seem like nice guys who got along well with Gav and Dan
ikr? the way the skull split in two and parts of it were actually launched in front of the ball just shows the amount of kinetic energy that transferred on that one. the way the flesh appears to liquify under the intense pressure of the bowling ball. marvelous. good stuff to study if you want to be a filmmaker. Just make the dummy as realistic as possible and get the cannon a bit further away and film it for your movie, practical effects are the greatest thing when it comes to organic looking stuff. cgi is overrated.
That was pretty horrifying...and educational. Makes you think really hard about the life of the old wooden ship sailors and the naval battles, and what the effects were of those broadsides.
There are surviving ships and skeletons that show that splinters were the real killers on ships hit with cannon. There is even plate armour that shows impact from cannonballs, and demonstrates why armoured knights didn't persist for long once gunpowder was introduced.
Just like it was shrapnel from the rocks in the walls and splinters from fences/trees during the Civil and Revolutionary war that killed most who took cover behind things. @@baldieman64
We have waited so long for this collab. Haven't watched How Ridiculous since they stopped doing the tower stuff as much, but this was awesome. We even got some "Science With Gaunson"! "That's right...we do have bones" 😂🤣
@@korganrocks3995 Totally, in fact, as Gav says when he and Dan go to Perth that should be the collab video down there. Some old school Tower bowling ball videos down under with the Slow Mo Guys
I still watch them fairly regularly but I do miss the tower stuff. I'm not sure they're allowed to film there anymore. But on the other had at one point the tower stuff was almost all they did and it was bound to get stale after a while so I respect the diversification of their content
that's a real shame if they can't film there any longer. Totally agree though, coming up with ideas for that must really have been hard after a while. Having said that though, I have a bunch more ideas they could do with that so I'm sure we'll see them at that/a tower again eventually. They could surely build their own tower at this point though. With a lift, @howridiculous ! 🤣
It's just ridiculous, how different Stanford and Gaunson are in a video, like this... In their videos, they are jumping all over the place, laughing, screaming, but now, they are just standing there and walking around, saying stuff... Priceless! 😅
This is an an entertaining but also interesting look into canon physics. Makes you really appreciate soldiers that actually went up against canons, considering it could shred half a dozen men in formation instantly.
At least back in those days if a canonball hit you, you had a high probability of instant death, unless of course it takes an arm or a leg. Otherwise, any head or body shot is instant death and you die never knowing you were even hit...
Love Gav and Dan - been a fan and watching for years! Brett and Scott, have watched them for years now also. Slo Mo Guys and How Ridiculous are "must-watch" every time a video drops. Great to see you all Legends together (we're missing one - where's the Legend, Derek?) Great video, and a great crew and group as always.

The best LOL lines: "Embrace the JANK" and "That's from your other channel, How Sensible." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It had to be done in the US, because I'm assuming bowling ball cannons are illegal in the UK, and probably the whole EU. 🤯👍🇺🇸
Love it when two of my favorite teams get together. Fun to see some of Rexy's crew in a different environment - hope you guys get to do more of this kinda stuff!
Fascinatingly gross! As an avid reader of Alexander Kent's nautical history novels, this brings home the gruesome reality of the damage that canon-fire does. Men were killed or injured by flying bones from other victims! Great video and excellent to see these two dynamic duos together 👍😄
Just... Wow! That escalated quickly. That was fascinating and deeply disturbing at the same time. And, I'm almost as impressed with that column of fire coming out of the end of that cannon as I am by the level of precision and carnage on display. Great video, as usual, fellas. Really well done. Firggin' hilarious, too. This one went right up to 11! All the stars!💥💫👍
Great shot from the side of the 5 heads when you showed us the speed of the bowling ball dropping per hit, clever and it’s like info I didn’t know I wanted
The Windows music gave this video that extra dash of awesome guys. Loved it! Also, this is why I love America: Two Brits and two Aussies come to Montana to blow stuff up with a bowling ball cannon. Brilliant.
I just came from the How Ridiculous video... SOOO sad to find out this was filmed in my neck of the woods.. MIles City had to be close... would have died to meet you all. so awesome!!! thank you for co-lab'ing you two are some of my favorite entertainer on the tube of me!
So I've watched and enjoyed the Ridiculous guys, but this does put me in mind of what high level thinkers Dan and Gav are. Their choice of words, Dan's descriptions of what's going on in explosions, the questions and observations Gav makes....... so good guys. Much hat tipping going on here
I think I learned more about Brett in this video than watching five years of How Ridiculous. Also, we now need a Science with Gaunson vs Dan's knowledge of explosives and firearms.
That may well be the best slomo yet. Excellent footage and presentation. Loved the vibe the Aussies brought to it while you boys stuck with your Brit brand of humour. Superb.
I thought scott was crazy. But I discovered these guys and they really surpass everything at another level, the maximum level. Wowwwwwwwwwwwww😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
This is the best Duo of Channels on UA-cam and seeing them all together and having fun was amazing. Watched both videos. Love the content. Keep it up all of you. Also, hope Derek is okay, shame he missed these videos but excited to see him back soon ❤️
"Thanks so much, @ichinokame3210! We really appreciate the kind words. It’s always our goal to keep things fun yet polished-kind of like how slow motion makes even the simplest moments feel extraordinary!"
Imagine how many more troops an iron canonball might travel through before stopping. Imagine the terrain surrounding the cannons has been groomed to exactly match the ballistic path of the cannon balls. Balls deep.
@4:15. Take away the FPS counter, make the shot black and white, add some kind of laughing demon on the right side of the shot, and add a Parental Advisory sticker. You got yourself a pretty bad ass cover for a Metal Album. Call it "Splitting Headache"
That was awesome. Amazing footage. I hope I wasn't the only one intensely watching the Jeep flexing at 4:36 Also, this video needed a "Anatomy with Gaunson" sticker.
Great to hang with you lads, so much fun. Let’s go again in 2024!

And how the smaller mattress performs perfectly,

To see the gel look so viscous when its usually so tough, jesus the force behind that ball
Great shot from the side of the 5 heads when you showed us the speed of the bowling ball dropping per hit, clever and it’s like info I didn’t know I wanted
Seeing the bones of one skull destroy the next even before the bowling ball arrived was fascinating and very humbling.
I just want to say, I'm french and I used you guys' videos to learn english a while back. So thank you all
Slo Mo Guys and How Ridiculous -- an excellent collaboration. Thanks very much. We now want MORE.
So happy this collab came to be! Love watching both of your channels!
I was amazed with how perfectly you got that straight.
At the same time,
That was truly terrifying!
That was beautiful and horrifying in equal measure. Great job by both teams 🤣
Slow mo guys are like the Myth Busters but without the science and with all the explosions. Love it
Holy moly! It's the dream team combo I've been waiting for! I've loved watching both these channels for many many MANY years! WOOOOOOO
The Windows music gave this video that extra dash of awesome guys. Loved it! Also, this is why I love America: Two Brits and two Aussies come to Montana to blow stuff up with a bowling ball cannon. Brilliant.
I just came from the How Ridiculous video... SOOO sad to find out this was filmed in my neck of the woods.. MIles City had to be close... would have died to meet you all. so awesome!!! thank you for co-lab'ing you two are some of my favorite entertainer on the tube of me!
So I've watched and enjoyed the Ridiculous guys, but this does put me in mind of what high level thinkers Dan and Gav are. Their choice of words, Dan's descriptions of what's going on in explosions, the questions and observations Gav makes....... so good guys. Much hat tipping going on here
I have been waiting for this collaboration forever!!!!! Thank you for satisfying that itch!!!!!
7:20 Dan:- “Seen.” I imagine him with a solid Brecon point behind the camera, confirming the location for everyone! 😂
Forget who has the most followers, collab with ballistic high speed!
Agreed!! They are gonna be massive in the next few years
All three
Love the fact that we’re all so old that Gavin Free is going gray.
I think I learned more about Brett in this video than watching five years of How Ridiculous.
Also, we now need a Science with Gaunson vs Dan's knowledge of explosives and firearms.
The honesty at the beginning lmao. Congrats on the success to all of you!
That may well be the best slomo yet. Excellent footage and presentation. Loved the vibe the Aussies brought to it while you boys stuck with your Brit brand of humour. Superb.
I love their love for unique words, I think it's something more people should appreciate
5:25 missed opportunity to cut to the first head exploding with the error noise
Valid.
Hope you guys enjoyed your time here in Montana!. That was somehow considerably more brutal than I thought it would be.
we don't need any more attention.
@@Guitarplayer22222
I beg to differ! Where were the gents from across the pond filming???
@Guitarplayer22222 You wuss!
Lets not forget the hours gav does looking at these for hours on end
7:59 What we all came to see! One if the greatest things ever put on film!
Thank you
Years of waiting for this collab and I guess you could call it a smashing success.
MY WORLDS COLLIDING.
Finally seeing this collab happen is magical.
Thank you boys! Here's to (hopefully) many more in the future
i love how yall act so natural and real. never overacting in your videos. always raw and real. and that's why I love watching you guys
Would absolutely love to see some behind the scenes footage of this collab.
I thought scott was crazy. But I discovered these guys and they really surpass everything at another level, the maximum level. Wowwwwwwwwwwwww😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
5:20 i was drinking juice and it all came out of my nose🤣🤣🤣
This is the best Duo of Channels on UA-cam and seeing them all together and having fun was amazing. Watched both videos. Love the content. Keep it up all of you. Also, hope Derek is okay, shame he missed these videos but excited to see him back soon ❤️
was he not just get married around the day of shooting?
So happy to see the Slo Mo Guys do something with some fellow Aussies...Love both teams! Well done, boys!
Wow! Thank you for creating such a high-quality video. I really like your style-very professional and approachable."
"Thanks so much, @ichinokame3210! We really appreciate the kind words. It’s always our goal to keep things fun yet polished-kind of like how slow motion makes even the simplest moments feel extraordinary!"
Hope you guys enjoyed your time here in Montana!
Probably one of the only places they could find a mobile cannon, right here haha.
I'm from Great Falls, MT, I wonder how far away they were 😅
2:20 I can picture Gav on set yelling "We need another Dan!" After things go horribly wrong.
Watching the final slow mo shot, all I could think was: "There's the literal definition of a brainstorm"
Imagine how many more troops an iron canonball might travel through before stopping. Imagine the terrain surrounding the cannons has been groomed to exactly match the ballistic path of the cannon balls. Balls deep.
@4:15. Take away the FPS counter, make the shot black and white, add some kind of laughing demon on the right side of the shot, and add a Parental Advisory sticker. You got yourself a pretty bad ass cover for a Metal Album. Call it "Splitting Headache"
W idea
That was awesome. Amazing footage. I hope I wasn't the only one intensely watching the Jeep flexing at 4:36
Also, this video needed a "Anatomy with Gaunson" sticker.
