he died?

​@@butta-dogyup a few years ago. Brain aneurysm

@@CadMade95 damn rip

I knew about Grant's death from Adam Savage on his KZfaq channel "Tested". I was devastated by that information 😢

There is also the point that the flints could probably be re-used a lot more times than the stick. So, once you spent the time on them, you had them for a long time.

Good point. And you want your shot to be successful, because if the animal keeps running away, you'll lose your flint head.

@@HappyBeezerStudios No, stalking an animal is a very time consuming thing and getting close enough to get within shooting distance is very difficult. If the animal escapes with only a minor wound you have wasted a lot of time and energy for nothing. If you manage to sneak up on an animal you want your first shot to do enough damage so that it can't get too far. Sort of the same reason why shotguns are preferred for hunting as rifles often don't do enough damage in one shot to bring an animal down immediately.

@@MrMarinus18 that's what I said. The shot has to hit, because otherwise it would be an immense waste of time and work. If the animal runs, you wasted the arrow and the time to sneak up on it. So a deadly (successful) flint head is worth using over a wooden point that only causes a minor injury.

@@HappyBeezerStudios A single arrow won't kill a large animal like an antilope or deer. What you are hoping for is to cause enough damage so that it won't get too far. Remember we are not talking about a deer slug that can fill an animal in one hit.

yea no stone tips are pretty brittle, there is a reason people don´t make swords out of stone, and even just daggers you would fine cutting knives but not daggers for sticking people.

@@daftwulli6145 Swords hit other swords or extra hardened shields. So stone hitting stone would be more brittle than iron hitting iron but stone hitting flesh is not a problem, as stone knives can be used for years to cut through flesh. Only a direct bone hit could cause an arrow head to break and those are very rare in practice. Claiming those arrow heads are too brittle is a very funny argument, considering that we still find them intact after they have been actively in use and buried for so many centuries.

@@xcoder1122 Quote :" So stone hitting stone would be more brittle than iron hitting iron but stone hitting flesh is not a problem, as stone knives can be used for years to cut through flesh." 1, animals also have bones and hitting those is a big problem for stone, and no hitting bones is not rare at all. The whole chest area (you know where heart and lungs are, the things you want to hit) is one bone next to the other. So no, they are not rare at all, and I have no idea why you would think that. 2. nice try i already said cutting is not the problem, stabbing is. Try it yourself. You don´t have to make a full stone knife, just something thin enough and roughly the same shape. Quote :"Claiming those arrow heads are too brittle is a very funny argument, considering that we still find them intact after they have been actively in use and buried for so many centuries." 1. you find them since they are easy to lose, just like coins, something else we find all the time. And arrowheads have been used for far longer then coins. 2. another reason you find them is that during a hunt they probably did not have opportunity to collect missed shots since they had to follow the animal. THe rest of the arrow would be gone after a few ceades or at most centuries, but the arrowhead remains for much longer. 3. as for why you don´t find broken ones, they would not just break into 2 halves but many smaller pieces, you would no longer recognize. That is simply how that kind of stone usually breaks. Making something out of that kind of stone requires a lot of knowledge and patience since you have to hit the stone just right to not end up with many small pieces. 4. as for why they do not break in the ground, pretty simple : different materials have different traits. Stone can take quite a lot of pressure, so being burried under ground is no problem. But bending is another matter, try to bend stone and it breaks, and when it hits bone it wants to bend. KInda the same reason we combine steel and concrete they both can handle different kinds of forces very well, and support each others weakpoints (steel is strong where concrete is weak and vice versa)

Don't forget the wooden knives

Done on purpose so they can use the gun

and the chain looked kinda loose

also those were not jeans u wear in the cold

how would you hold them though?

@@robbierootbeer8056 the same way? Just a bit more fabric to grab...

That's right, the tip should be the heaviest! You can see how bad it is without the tip if you shoot without the feathers at the end (they stabilize the arrow by slowing it down in the air and pulling it straight). Depending on the animal and the strength of the bow, the point could be even bigger. What you don't want is for the arrow to simply fly all the way through, but to transfer as much of its energy as possible to the body through damage. And anyone who thinks the wound channel is not so important is certainly not a hunter!😋 😉

Yeah! 45 seconds and barley half way thru the tree is from dull chain, and undersized saw.

They also tested how gasoline, diesel and jetfuel burns, and only the gasoline would actually burn if put down in liquid form, even when blasted with a blowtorch. I don't know what sort of fuel the Die Hard plane was using, but I figure the chances aren't very good that it'd even burn like that.

@@PanthereaLeonis I'm sure while making that movie, what we saw spilling out of the plane's tanks was just water. They're not going to really spill fuel out of a plane. As far as the line of burning fuel, most likely it is kerosine as that is fairly safe to use. But I'm not an expert, of course. Just my opinion.

@@paparoysworkshop OH for sure! No they wouldn't actually spill the airplane fuel! I'm just guessing that real airplane fuel might not burn very well.

sharp arrow head going trough the lungs of an animal will cause massive bleeding that a pointed one will not

?

I hope it was only a few times, and that the filming just happened to be close together 😬

Possibly Frangible, MK 255 MOD 0 [White Tip] : 5.56×45mm 62-grain Reduced Ricochet Limited Penetration (RRLP) round

@@Sion_Revan Thanks! Those rounds sound about right for downing trees as they dont just fly through, causing more damage for the round coming later. Well, imho anyway.

For cave man?
