Version 2.0: heavy tank round V.S. foil ball

This is my life goal. Literally just chilling in the backyard shooting my guns.

Ya, that's a true man's motto... I need a bigger gun! Looking forward to the cannon!

After all that time and energy you destroyed it. I thought it was beautiful and I would love to have something like it. It was a work of art.

"I need a bigger gun, I'm working on that" Ooooh! i'm excited

He’ll yeah that was cool👏🏻👏🏻. Very interesting great upload my friend 😁👍🏻👍🏻

1) as soon as i saw the form on the floor, with the sand all around, i knew *exactly* what you were going to do. 2) absolutely *loved* the cannon, closing line! :D thanks!

You should make an AR upper or lower out off spent shells. It would look amazing and be ironic.

I was just about to sub and then I realised I already subbed to you a while back and then I remembered. So now I’m starting to get back into your videos again, they’re awesome and really interesting. 👍

Just a point of reference, the 'big canon's' touch-hole has not so much been 'capped' but 'spiked' - this was how muzzle loaders were temporarily disabled during the heat of battle to stop them being fired. Am sure the spike could be drilled out and the canon 'made able' again!

Send it to demolishilon ranch to blow up with his 50 bmg

Very interesting video FC. Thanks for posting and take care!

Now that's a lot of damage

Enjoyed your video, I like how you showed the ammo and made it clear what rounds you were shooting with each shot, good shooting.

Now make it into foil again.

Nice concept and well execute. Thanks

its a solid aluminum casting i am not surprised at your results

Interesting with the bullets, but I liked it best as a puppy toy!!!

Good filming!

Congrats... a viewer from Britain

That was awesome!

Great shot with that .380! 🤙🍾

Thank you for sharing

That's the most POG rifle I have ever seen.

Fun video. I thought the pup liked it.

Good hits my guy!

got the same .22 with the same clip and camo...nice!

Remind me never come to your property unannounced

"If I want it back..." It's not gone.

cool series

Super cool

Foil ball : please leave me I am begging That man : no mercy 😎😎😎

You should have sent it to @DemolitionRanch

you know i think that would be a really cool display piece in a geologists collection. yes its a very refined metal but would still oddly fit... at least in mine, i also hope to have some stone weapons and a few swords eventually. (it goes through a lot before its actual aluminum, its actually from a rock and not a "metal" in nature)

"I don't have a full size cannon" ha ha

very suprising! you should make some tin foil body armour

That is one weird foil ball right there!

So all you need is aluminum armor about 4 inches thick… which is genuinely impressive… like my goodness I didn’t think I could stop it.

New armour has been made for protection

Funny story I literally found a cannon ball around the same time this video came out

that's awesome

You should make several for the “Demolition Ranch” channel. #DemolitionRanch

You could use that as a miniature, for a science fiction film. It looks like a shiny planet.

I could see that being a nice table piece. Just encased in clear epoxy and sitting in your living room

You have guns too??!! Seriously, I love what you're doing bud! Great explanations, good video, great sound! My 45-70 would have changed this videos content a bit lol! Roger from Calgary.

Looks like you hit a T-1000 right where it counts.

You know that guy Cody from Cody’s lab? Yeah THIS dude is Cody’s dad for sure

Nice Video,next dropping the ball from 610 Meter Ivy Ices Tower.

The poor little aluminium ball is getting it hey!! At some point the little ball is going to be like "why me"??

Would it have stopped a cannon ball from you cannon build? Great vid

Wow I'm not into guns but if I was I would definitely get one and I will recommend this to anyone that uses one legally!

Well, I'm a little late, but for the initial ball (before and after melting), it would be nice to non-destructively measure its density, which should match the aluminum number you found in the reference book. I guess that would account for a measure of the impurities and the size of the holes/pockets in the sphere. Good perseverance.

Perfect chance for a collab, wasted. There must be a youtuber with a cannon nearby.

Funny thing is when you asked in the last video what to do with it all I could think of was "fire it out of a cannon"

I think the bullets would go through if the ball was held stationary, but the force is reduced when the ball gives up ground it acts like 2 cars colliding, instead of a car vs a huge boulder. Both cars give each taking the impact, the boulder would have no give and the car takes all the energy.

shooting a t1000 egg will get you in trouble with skynet

Or you can shoot it. Love the guns. Great job.

It’s more valuable blown up than shiny. I like it.

wow to cool

The perfect collab opportunity wasted I mean there must be a youtuber with a gun or two......or 300 in Texas

You should melt it all together and since the bullets are still in there, if you were to make it into a sphere again, it would be a metal compound which would be kinda cool to have.

you could play those ball rolling games they have at arcades

After all you learned when making the original "foil ball"...you could quickly make another and shoot it with a single 270 round straight on...dead center to see what it can really take. Maybe make one 30% -40% smaller even. It wasn't a fair test starting with all the other rounds 1st & hitting it multiple times. The real test WAS the 270 round.

Let's see... Could you make a curb chain necklace from bullet casings?

I wonder what the penetration would be with your compressed (not melted) ball. May not the voids serve to absorb some of the impact and thus actually make better armor? Perfect this and tanks get lighter.

I initially thought it would take a .270 but after multiple shots from each larger caliber I felt it was detrimental to further testing that would truly be honest to the .270 shot. If you was to shoot it with each caliber a single time, only turning it to a side that was not hit with each shot, I truly believe it could take a .270 without it being blown apart into multiple pieces. It most certainly would fuck it all up big time, but I don't think you would have to pick up multiple chunks off the ground after the .270. That was just my inference from when you initially asked what we thought would happen when shot once by each caliber. Nonetheless, even with the multiple shots and grazing on the sides, it still held up amazingly all the way thru. Although, if you were on target each time, from a fixed distanced that was determined fair for each caliber, I really believe the ball would have ended up still resembling a ball for the most part with only holes visible. This was a cool experiment though, it would be interesting to do this with different metals or different mixtures of metals like 65% one metal and 15% another and 20% of another just to see what may take place. Holy shit that's actually a good idea for a channel or this channel. That sure would keep me occupied on KZfaq lol

I wonder how different the outcomes would be if the ball was stabilized so that the ball wouldn't roll off the stump when hit by the bullet? Would the bullet bounce off, stay put, or go through?

Oh my god this is so legal bro

This is a dumb question but what does it mean to stop the bullet. Doesn't the ball have to be fixed in place?

Surprised you didn’t post this on guncraft. Speaking of which, anything new coming to your guncraft channel? Another great video as always btw

Can you suggest some content that I might be able to do out at my camp for my channel, please and thank you.

I'm having a deja vu moment

Jamal pulled out the 9mm

A nice shot 🏹🌎🐲🐉

Be interesting to see what the crushed foil mass would have stopped before you went to the extreme of melting it to form a solid mass

How did they come up with an oddball number of thousandths of an inch like that for the size of the bullet?

I need a bigger gun! Lol I love it!

Was that a Zastava Tokarev in 9mm? You showed off all the other guns :)

Dude you’re like a sniper

Thats a lot of gunz

U should keep it as like a cool trophie

Send it to Demolition Ranch and have him give you a shout out :) It gets shot with a .50 BMG and your channel gets more views. Win-win!

I believe that if your ball was stationary rather than free to absorb energy and move then any number of the smaller calibers would have destroyed it much earlier!!! I'd like to see a redo

Just wondering. The spherical shape makes it much more likely for the bullets to hit it a glancing blow, and so harder to say whether the ball would have stopped the bullets. But it would have been dangerous to make the ball stationary in some way, because the bullets would have been more likely to come back down the range than with the ball being free to roll and so not to directly oppose the flight of the bullet? I think that's what I mean, it's difficult to describe.

Did anyone else see it roll down the hill and think of that arcade bowling game? Is this the advanced way to play?

They did what is called "Spiking the guns" basically hammering a soft nail into the touch hole and flattening it out at the top. making the gun useless apart from being an ornamental piece to remember history.

What else is there to do on a Sunday afternoon?

Shoot it out of a tanks cannon! LOL

We could probably use recycled cans to make weapon parts fo the army

He looks like the guy from breaking bad 🛢️💊🔫

Shame it was a thing of beauty you made there

Facts

I’m gonna use this ball for vest ballistic plates

The sphere was worth preserving as a 'work of art'. Have you considered experimenting with copper as well? Taking an aluminium sphere to a arts and crafts show and selling it as a 'foil' sphere may make you a few bucks....maybe even enough to offset your investment in time and materials.

I would have kept it as is. It was interesting.

looks like the planet Jupiter

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT CANNON?

I like the videoes

when Walter White starts trafficking weapon

It is now art
