You guys are Legends. :-)

this is the best channel for you guys to Collab with! Keep it coming!

i really wanna see gavie boy shoot the 4 bore

The moment I saw the 4 bore, I was hoping you guys would get some ultra slow mo footage of that thing destroying a zombie torso.

was just about to ask for that!

4 bore?

Cheese ain’t supposed to sound like that

Great Collab! Stick a thumb in it!

Next time bring some tortilla chips and salsa. See how good a coating you can get with the nacho cheese.

4 bore!!!! Into a bigger block of jell.

If movies have taught me anything, it's that taking your shirt off before a difficult task increases your power by at least a factor of 1.5!

I thought the same thing, Destin!

Destin, your excitement when things like the flash of the bullet happen, is all I can hear. Your involvement is all this video is missing! So much fun finding and learning new things!

Big Randy energy

This needs more upvotes, that moment was cool af for how low key it was

I'm not trying to be mean but it wasn't that crazy if you shoot regularly this is a pretty common ability

@@gunsandmachinesenthusiastwe got the fun police on us

@theknightikins9397 ok you giant meat purse, I couldn't have been nicer about it 🤣 cry some more

@@theknightikins9397 you're literally like 13? Go back to school. The iPad is actually going to rot your brain

Imagine how hard it would be to model this with Computational Fluid Dynamics. Stuff like this happens every day and it’s beyond any computational power that exists. Really fun to think about.

I love Gavin’s description of the “opposite square”. Perfect way to describe it.

True.

@@smartereveryday Now you’ve got me thinking, and it’s so mind boggling to think that something as simple as shooting ballistics gel would be impossibly hard to fabricate in other ways!

@@smartereveryday In a way it reminds me of the complexity of weather prediction models. Soooooo many factors, soooo many variables. Maybe AI will be able to start to make a dent in the modeling. Though even a tech enthusiast like me is somewhat uncomfortable with AI’s potential for generating even more societal chaos. Great to see you here, Destin! Quality recognizes quality 💯

What, the arms master, the videographer, and the test subject? Lol /s

why was my first though when reading that "and here are the Three Stooges"???

@@DriftersDiesel The AV nerd, the cockney brit, and the cowboy.

Thumbs up

​@@nhrabby7214just put a thumb in it

Because they all share the same passion

And proneness to injury.

​@@narcodiumHunting elephants?

How many? All of them lol

Seriously. Jaw on the floor the whole time.

You said it the best!

Beat me to the punch, these are my thoughts exactly!

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Imagine catching one 😬

@@CorePathway I can see it now. Just a massive red spot on the wall…

It would be interesting to see what it would do with a full length barrel.

That and every time he collabs he eats the guests after the video and gains mass and power looking bigger

100% agree. 🎉 these Kentucky ballistics videos are S tier.

This comment won’t count for much on January 1 of any year.

@@gcm747lmao

It is also in some Mantis Shrimp footage:) I am think it is the plasma state for a tiny moment because of physics right?

@@mattdrahos2662please someone smart help us, we wanna know🥺

I ran straight here to get any answers

As in, the energy release is intense enough to generate light? Dayum. I wonder if at least part of that's because of friction causing a short-lived ignition. I mean it _could_ be plasma for all I know, but then what would be ionizing the gases?

@@mattdrahos2662 Triboluminescence isn't fully understood but it's absolutely not because anything is turning into a plasma.

You think they don't realise it.

its satisying to grab a casing mid-air

Notice he's also not wearing safety glasses

@@CatBot007 Its not a over pressured .50 cal, so maybe he feels safe without them?

​@@CatBot007With these rounds if something catastrophic happens a pair of safety glasses aren't going to do much except become plastic shrapnel.

The second bullet in the gel moved back, because those cavitations are creating a vacuum. The force moves the gel out, and it happens so fast air does not have a chance to rush in, so the vacuum causes it to collapse.

@@alphagt62 It's more so the cohesive forces of the material pulling back on itself. A vacuum means there's nothing there, which means there's nothing to create a force. So, the material fills the space by relaxing back into shape since it hasn't permanently deformed yet.

@@zecuse have you seen the video where they shoot a gun underwater? It definitely pulls a vacuum. When the bullet travels down through the water we see big cavitations, and they collapse, and no bubbles rise to the surface. The cavities just slam shut, there was no air in those cavities.

@@alphagt62 I'm well aware of that. The cavitation in that case can also be attributed to the cohesive forces of water. A vacuum doesn't produce any forces because definitionally, there's nothing there! Instead, other forces from the objects will be able to react.

Fancy seeing you here! So used to seeing you in Toms comment section usually :D

Dan is an expert slow mo guinea pig.

@@ireallyreallyhategoogle wheek wheek :3

It would have been interesting to see Scott do it too as a comparison, since he's practically a body builder. It might be a modesty thing for him, though. Even when he was showing off his chest-opening scar, he only pulled his neck down a little

@@ireallyreallyhategoogle Imagine putting that on a resume.

​@@birdyfeederz7940 Yea, Scott doesn't like to show himself off much. Which is fair.

It's probably sonoluminescence.

@@ScapeonomicsThat’s what I thought too

My hypothesis: Trace accelerant on the bullet that achieved secondary ignition as a result of compressed air between the bullet and the gel. Happens again in the gap between the two gel block, but smaller, so less trace accelerant to ignite or lowered bullet velocity resulting in less compressive heat generated? Or sonoluminescence like @Scapeonomics suggested. 😅

@@bladeofphoenixIMO, the light is just way too concentrated to be an ignition from compression. It’s not impossible, but it’s just so bright, and the gun powder used in ammo I don’t think can burn that bright, at least not that I’ve seen.

I think it might be the ballistic gel being compressed by the force, changing how it looks in light to make it look like a flash from the bullet. Same thing with it entering the second block but with less force

9:11 my jaw literally on the floor. This episode was awesome!

Dude literally everyone watches these 😂

The multi coloured flame tornado in 4k is minez I recommend. This was amazing though

I have to agree. The billiard destruction was one of the tops for me before this. That cavitation and explosions were another world amazing.

Murica moment

He was awesome!!

What branch/service was he part of? Just curious

@@Tyler-vw9bh I believe he was a weapons and explosions expert in the army, although I may be wrong

Monthly

@@BlueZirnitra well this is only the 4th one of these vids ive ever watched so i didnt know that and was happy to learn hes properly trained.

1000% agree!

💯

Yeah that “Kentucky Flash” was insane, never would have predicted that And when it happened on the 2nd block the flash cause 2 weird lil shock waves on both blocks where they meet at the top, I wonder why

Yup, that Slow motion footage is spectacular.

It seems that Scott and Dan have great respect for each other. I am sure they had chatted heaps off camera.

The default assumption for Americans meeting Brits is that they'll be the tea sipping dainty kind. Once you tell us you were in the military though we fully understand that you're the other kind of Brit, the cuppa having, world conquering kind.

Dan was in the RLC, I doubt he's fired much more than an L85 a few times on the range prior to YT. Plus he was snatching the trigger, even we don't do that.

@@MainerZ i thought he was eod?

@@suirall EOD falls under the RLC.

Was looking for this comment right here

took 18 takes lol

Ik right

Were they gone ? 🤔

They were never gone?

back on the channel for a collab you stupid replies.

dont call it a comeback, they been here for years

@@mysticmarble94 Dan was away for years during the pandemic, Gav wasnt posting that much.

Really showcases how the musculature works as not just motors but also anchors. And the skin rippling almost like a fluid when propelled by so much force, too. It's so cool to watch.

Plus, Dan is a big dude, and on the more powerful shots, you see his entire body move in kind of a sling shot fashion from just the power of the shot. Truly would be fascinating to see more in depth

@@jasondamrau9943 then you see Scott next to him almost twice as wide

@WayStedYou lol yeah that dude was massive

@@jasondamrau9943 Sooo... watch you want to watch recoil propogate through a guy in a speedo? That would be cool, honestly.

You know, for years I've imagined and always wanted a collab between SlowMoGuys and DemolitionRanch. Luckily, Scott just so happens to have even crazier guns than Matt.

yup loving these.... I want to see SMG team up with Garand Thumb.... they can head back to the Tank Range... cause the howitzer vs Human Torso NEEDS their hi speed.

I've been wishing for this for so long!

Highly HIGHLY recommend ballistic high speed, they have videos with much better cameras and even detonate grenades and claymores at 250,000 frames per second. Amazing channel.

Agreed!

Seeing him next to Eddie hall was eye opening, te guy is like 260

I wonder how much time Scott spends working out.

It’s either this or garand thumb shooting a ballistic gel torso with a artillery round

hands down this is wild. I have seen every video they have made on this channel and I am in awe of what I just saw

Why would you say that with hyperbole?

@@Nekotaku_TV Well sometimes people say something is the "best ever" when it's not really the best ever; it's hyperbole to say something exaggerated like that.

@@R2Bl3nd That's dumb. But I don't think people would in this case because it's a rare thing and stands out.

It's from the air being super compressed as the gel shrinks back, or that's the explanation I've heard.

​@comfortablynumb9342 it's actually from the sound energy converting to light energy - 'sonoluminescence. I wrote a comment explaining it 😊

I’d love to see that!

You will always be the singing voice of Alastor to everyone, also it's cool seeing someone that inspired me to sing more and be confident in my voice enjoy gun videos in slowmo

That will be so cool to see

Slow mo voice overs lets goo

What happened to him?

.50 cal blew up in his face, almost killed him. look it up.@@jackfinnie6603

​@@jackfinnie6603 his gun blew up

@@jackfinnie6603 He shot a rare round only found on the aftermarket, unfortunately it had been reloaded far too hot by the seller and blew his gun up like a grenade, he got shrapnel into his face but luckily his glasses saved his eyes. The major injury however was part of the gun penetrating his throat and lodging itself inside his chest behind his ribs, puncturing a lung, he had to shove his thumb into his neck to not bleed to death and luckily had his father on set to drive him to the hospital. He had to have his chest opened up to get the fragments inside it taken out and then spent a long time recovering as he could not lift heavy things due to his chest recently being split open, but luckily as evident, has now made a full recovery.

@@jackfinnie6603 You can see his 2 year old scar from his neck being ripped apart at like 7:30

I read this as soon as they said it. Made it 10x better.

@@danielkelsosmith lol

Possibly triboelectric effect?

@@chrisschierer5672 kentucky effect!!

Bullets are ingrained with the light of god

I think that could be the air trapped between the bullet and the gel being compressed to a plasma just like in spaceships on re-entry

@@janiwirman definitely possible! It's feasible that the bullet is moving too fast for the air to displace enough to not create immense pressure between the head of the bullet and the gel

That made me laugh to see lol

the tensile strength of dans chest hair is enoug to hold a micrphone confirmed

​@@WayStedYouit feels like there's a Chuck Norris joke waiting to be made here

I don't think you'll have to worry about them stopping.

Bunch of Hufflepuffs. Couldn't agree more. Always a blast.

instead of ridiculous toys it 50 cal rifles

Agree

I read this comment when it had exactly 💯 likes 👍🏻

my thoughts exactly 😆

Same

Look how far back he is in the shot at 14:24 to try to make him look smaller than he is

you can finally appreciate the sheer size of Gav's nose standing next to Scott 😛

110% agree with you. This video is insane!

That flash when the projectile struck was wild!

The gel turned into the alien from the Abyss.

beautiful

ok

You can tell how happy it makes Kentucky ballistics by the satisfaction he gets from seeing others experience it, he’s eager to share what he loves. Big guns might be his religion.

is this a genuine comment or an advertisement for your channel?

​@@spiddyman0079Does it matter? Made the counter go up 1, and if they "liked" and "shared" then that was good for everybody. So I think you can quit asking everyone who comments, and has a checkmark, if they are "advertising".

He's done that once or twice.

Damn. That was IMPRESSIVE.

Glad someone else noticed it!

I saw it too Had to check if I was alone or not

Literally, in this case

Scott’s the real deal. Awesome human being.

I'm glad he is still around to do stuff like this. That .50 cal explosion was insane. I'm actually impressed he is still willing to shoot firearms like that. I would definitely be really gun shy (no pun intended) and I don't know if I'd be able to shoot again.

Agreed

I concur, scott and brandon herrera are my current two favourite firearms channels, both seem like really genuine dudes.

Its wild you say this, because Scott’s WHOLE STYLE is overly animated and loud. I think the difference is that he’s not macho about it. He doesn’t think the guns make him cool, he thinks the guns themselves are cool and genuinely wants to share it with people. Thats the difference in my opinion.

Its nice to see.

What would happen if they fired into a non-Newtonian fluid such as a corn starch/H2O mixture?

there has to be some crossover between fluid dynamics and the big bang. the glue looks like the scattering of matter throughout the universe after the big bang

@@artcurious807 There certainly is. The clumping of matter is just like the clumping of water on a hydrophobic surface like plastic, and the surface tension is just like gravitational forces
