      @garrettschrepfer7659 2 роки тому +137

      @@DinnerForkTongue basically munroe effect is what is happening with the shape charge, the conical shape directs most of the energy of the explosive in one specific direction instead of omnidirectional like most explosives thus giving it much more penetrating power to punch through armor or concrete.

      Ofc if you count in percent that seems like not much, but I count in number of dislikes.
      Yea it's true the videos are long but it's very fine to me I usually just skip to the parts that I like, while other can watch the entire videos if they want. It's quite easy to do.
      About the destruction part that's a good point, still if people dislike destruction, why even click on a video named "Massive Explosive [...]"
      But it's fine people do what they want, I was just really suprised to find out 1.5k people disliked this, when the video is exactly what the title says. It's not like they are exploding fireworks in their garden and filming with a bad camera.

Not to mention their puny camera wouldn't be able to record anything at a safe enough distance, it would be disintegrated entirely at any distance near enough to get footage.

    Very interesting to me. I was Army infantry being transported on a Navy “Armored Troop Carrier” boat on the Mekong River in 1969. I was laying down on the deck of the troop well in front of a giant styrofoam cooler that had a large amount of water in it. A Viet Cong B-40 rocket, almost the same as a modern RPG, hit the outside of the hull slightly above where I was. There was a loud explosion and I was covered in water and styrofoam fragments. Only 1 person in the boat had a minor shrapnel wound. I knew it had to be the water in the cooler that saved me and others. My theory was that the molten copper and steel droplets were small enough to be stopped by the water. Also the damaging hot jet of gas would have been abated by the water. Your barrel was about the width of the cooler.

      David Todd they should film humming birds but, I can see dogs running or jumping of stuff would make a good video too.
