"Oh he's actually in the explosion" "Wonder what that's like"

“Bob got extremely lucky” I think his collapsed organs beg to differ

7:05 - the front rim was literally polished after the impact, look how the rust just disappeared - amazing

5:52 “oh he’s actually in the explosion…” ~ “wonder how that’s like” 😂😂

"I wonder what that is like" The sense of humor is still intact XD

I admire the commitment you guys have, completely unfazed by the RPG accident and straight back to blowing stuff up, commendable 👊

I’m impressed about the paint peeling from the velocity of the metal bending. You see that in the aftermath of car accidents but seeing slo mo is cool

I had a 94 camry almost exactly like that one and I tell ya some days I wished I could have done this to it. hope to see see you guys continue to recover well from the incident. Godspeed lads

Sadly we also know what happens when an rpg explodes on your shoulder

Everyone focuses on something different. I am fascinated by the paint on the door skin de-laminating and flaking into space as the sheet metal rips apart.

Man, y'all came out of nowhere and are just literally *crushing* it. Great stuff and congratulations on a million viewers in advance, you've earned it.

You guys are truly amazing!!! Thank you for all the great videos, and literally your blood, sweat, and tears. Keep up the awesome work my boy! Can't wait for the next video.

I’m watching this with headphone on as I’m putting my son to bed. Was just about done and the “wonder what that’s like?” Comment made me laugh so much I woke him up again. Well worth it and good to see you well on the road to recovery and sense of humour intact. Thank you.

I think that if the RPG had a correct EFP charge it would have been better to see the molten jet of copper damaging the vehicle. Might need to team up with Ballistic Ordnance Lab to get a round like that.

I'm 46 and have been watching "guntubers" since FPS Russia and I gotta say, that was the best SDI ad I've ever seen. That could be an actual TV commercial! Well done! Your ads are right up there with Matt and Scott. I don't even have to skip past them. We just need to get you guts doing some intro skits lol. Great video as always! Stay safe guys! Much love from Vermont.

Love the videos you guys have been creating for us. I enjoy how you get right to the good stuff.

5:48 you can see the shockwave compress the air ahead of the fiery gas. It goes right through Bob. He would have been slushified on the inside.

I know it sounds simple, but what about a sandbag retaining wall? How many sandbags would you need in front of you to survive an RPG? They are great for stopping lead projectiles, as they shred themselves inside the sandbag. However, I would imagine an explosive would be a different case. Maybe even making the sandbags dangerous? Would be interesting to see!

These videos are absolutely incredible. We probably don’t deserve this effort and detail. Thanks!

LOL he's in the explosion i wonder what that like...

A Simple solution to remove questions of concussion damage are balistic discs like Mythbusters used and G-Force discs.... if one or both go off, you know the concussive blast damaged internal organs beyond a doubt and collapsed lungs or other organs.... i.e. DEAD BOB

Come on gents we need to get these guys to 1 mill subs this is one of the coolest guntoober channels in the space

Happy to see your still blowing stuff up and recovered!

I would want to see Bob hiding behind plastic barrel (without a lid) filled with water to brim. Water is surprisingly good stopping bullets so it would be interesting to see what it can do with RPG. Also, it would be cool to have some pressure sensors attached to Bob or very close to figure out the blast forces.

Bright note; cleaning all the broken glass out of the door is a LOT easier now...though replacing the windows themselves will be a bit of a challenge.

Wow! Excellent high speed! Thanks for doing this. It’s amazing how the RPG seemed to lodge inside the door. I definitely thought it was going to fully enter the cab.

I almost follow your channel from first video you have been posted and i am glad to discovered you guys ...I really enjoy watching your contents and hope you just keep on making these kinda cool videos🙌

You being the stud you are sir we know what happens when it malfunctions beside your head as well. Glad your back and doing better

LMAO "Wonder what that's like..." best line ever!!!! Much love and stay safe brothers!

Dude! You can see the paint coming off the metal door! Awesome!

lol man, this reminds me of my FO buddy that went out on a patrol mission with our CO in Baquba and when they came back they had an RPG internal rod stuck to their front passenger glass lol. THAT was extremely lucky lmao!

I like how the paint comes off the door - great high speed!

8:49 Level 4 armor saved this one guy a little while back. I think his RPG failed when he shot it or something.

I'm just so glad to see Adam in good form. I think the post hi speed viewing bits are post injury. He's doing well. God bless him, and god bless you all.

A massive ballistics gel mold. Something like the size of a 12 foot pool. Just huge! The expansion alone would be super cool to watch.

"He's actually in the explosion." - "Wonder what that's like" **perfect comedy beat** Both start laughing. You guys are the best.

If I remember correctly there are stickers with capsules in them that break at certain pressures. You may be able to source some and have them in or even around where your explosion happens. It would be an excellent source of information at a reasonable price. Just an idea. Great videos. Thank you.

God bless you. I'm genuinely happy you're alive. You look great man, keep healing up and working on yourself.

The slo-mo is fantastic. The destructive force is beyond crazy. 👍👍🇨🇦

definitely would want a part 2 of this

Hes not Bob until you throw him into the water. And thats my bad dad joke of the day

I appreciate your content it is very entertaining but you don't have to die for it man

I enjoyed your channel before the accident, but since the accident, I have enjoyed it even more. I really appreciate the way you have dissected the accident and still have a respectful sense of humor about it. Please keep up the wonderful work. Looking forward to more rpg content.

Protect the guy with NERA. Non energetic reactive armour, I think the high speed could show some interesting reactions with the rubber contracting and expanding, deforming the steel plates that sandwich it. Then acoustic foam behind that to help absorb the shockwave. 👨‍🔬 👌

"wonder what thats like" that made me burst

Yall got every man's dream job!!!! Thank you!!! Happy your doing alright after that boom brother!!!

Good to see you back 🤙

This channel doesn't disappoint. I dont every video because i always think "its clickbait no way they used a real (inset weapon)" no thats a real explosive rpg round not just a dummy that fires with no explosion.

You are healing pretty quick and good.

That high speed slow mo as it entered the door (at 5:40) is awesome.

Awesome stuff, keep it up!

Maybe Hit the car Direct into the Trunk or front Grill into the engine. maybe the wheel well above the tire. Also would be very interesting to see a homemade barricade. Like furniture piled up. Fantastic video. looking forward to what you come up with next

"ohh he's in the explosion"... "Wonder what that's like...." 😂 Never change guys... Never change

Amazing how the rocket completely embeds itself in the door and then blows it apart.

Honestly, anything you guys do and film I wanna see!!! 👍🏻👌🏻🤘🏻

The "i wonder what thats like?" Comment had me rolling!! 😂😂😂😂

i love ur content

That was awesome!

Kentucky recently did an episode with some pretty impressive bullet proof glass that stopped the 4 bore and several elephant gun rounds aswell. Could be fun to see that.

I remember reading once the Philippine army used wooden planks as RPG armor on their vehicles, and it worked because it caused detonation far enough away that the vehicles would survive the blast. Recreating that might be a cool experiment to see

The good wiggle when the rocket detonates is wild looking and if they have the shaped penetrator in them shooting a steel plate to see how the liquid jet of copper cuts through would be a cool video

I love how clearly ya'll captured the spawling effect when the door starts to separate from itself.

I mean with all these lovely RPG videos coming out, it would be interesting to see you shoot a shaped charge (HEAT) warhead at a armor, although I have no idea, what are the safety and other issues. we all know those are not to be taken lightly. now to be perfectly fair you don't really need to shoot a rocket either, since you can just set a stationary shaped charge at a proper standoff distance from the armor as it still replicates the penetrative effect of a warhead, but at least the size of the shaped charge, angle of the cone, the material of the cone and the standoff distance all have an effect on the formation of the shaped charge jet and its penetration. you can also create an explosively formed penetrator instead of the jet with a flatter angle of the cone. the next step would be to test the shaped charge against some or even multiple different types of composite armor arrays, since you can find actual schematics of their composition on the internet and they have used materials like air, aluminium, fiberglass and/or ceramics inside steel as the point is often to keep armor effective against shaped charge warheads while also lowering its weight by using different materials inside the steel. there can also be a spall liner made of UHMWPE or aramid fibers behind the armor itself to catch any possible spall that could harm the crew, since you don't need to always penetrate the armor to create spalling. another step would be to also test explosive reactive armor, but they might not be as easy to built as there are more intricate considerations with the explosive used and the parameters of the metal plate that is fed in front of the shaped charge jet by the explosion. for ERA to work correctly it needs to be at an angle, but it determining that and everything else is definitely not easy. working with two different explosives, one for the shaped charge and one for the ERA, is definitely a massive safety consideration too. there are ERAs that work against kinetic penetrators, but they usually have heavier metal plates and also have multiple in one ERA element. finally one type of ERA uses shaped charges inside its elements, although I'm not certain on the details of its operation. speaking of explosives another form of warhead is high-explosive plastic or high-explosive squash head, which basically means that you smack a some plastic explosive against the armor plate and then blow it up in the hopes that the force of the explosion will transfer through the armor and create spalling at the other side without achieving penetration. usually composite armors, even with just air gaps, work well against this type of warhead, but the amount of plastic explosive does still matter, since enough high explosives will do the job regardless or damage critical components, which is why tanks are also vulnerable to typical high-explosive shells from artillery for example. now to be fair some NERA arrays do work in a similar fashion to ERA, but they use the propertios of rubber or similar materials and a backing plate to feed a properly aligned metal plate in front of the shaped charge jet as well. the difference with ERA is that NERA does usually have multiple layers separated by air. NERA would probably be the safer and easier option due to less explosives being involved. they do work to some degree against kinetic penetrators, so you could perhaps first try building one that works against bullets and then go from there. anyhow that is most certainly enough rambling text for today and for anyone interested in knowing more I would recommend Technology of Tanks by Richard Ogorkiewicz.

For a revisit - what about explosive-reactive armor?

This is awesome.

This seems like such a fun job.

It’s strange knowing everything that happened to Adam but in this series before that he is happy and not expecting anything to happen in the future

you guys need to try shaped charges RPG!

Few years ago an improvised mortar round hit and exploded next to my friends car, I believe it was similar to 81mm mortar. He was in a Ford Focus, and the shrapnel went from side to side into the concrete barricade in the middle of the street, while my friend was behind the wheel. Luckily he survived, and didn't sustain any permanent injuries but he suffered from a punctured lung, a broken arm, a broken T bone, a punctured shoulder blade, and a longitudinal fracture of the femur, in addition ro hundreds of shrapnel in different parts of his body. His head alone had like 70 bits of metal of different sizes.

Wow, the high speed is beautiful 😮

You need to do an rpg straight on engine block right under the hood emblem. And straight into the trunk latch.

Can a RPG blow a tree in half?

The sunroof glass was really cool, it undulated like it was a fluid yet didn't break or crack (I assume it was laminated glass and not tempered).

Amazing video guys..holy shit!!! It was sweet..loved it..

What an amazing video

Shoot a rocket at a metal sheet that is thick enough to not be overpressured that's angled upwards to see the rocket and explosion deflecting and maybe have a camera pointed at the back to see if there's any spalling

Boy's brilliant content some of the best on KZfaq .🇦🇺👍

Another Great Video 💯 '' Many Thanks 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Love your vids boys

Amazing video, if you guys ever try something like this I’d love to see what would happen if bob was on the driver seat instead

Seeing the cracks develop in the glass was the best bit.

Thank I'd like to see more inside the car . Having the windows up and going through the front window shield 😮

Pretty freaking cool video.

I remember back in the day, Mythbusters had some G-force measuring patches, they stuck to their dummy (Buster. Often not a ballistic gel dummy, but hard plastic) to assess collision forces.... I think they had some, that broke at 5 G, 10 G, 20 G... Paired with knowledge about how much acceleration the body can withstand before you die, it gave some interesting insight. I think it would add to your very interesting videos if you utilised those patches. As one of you said "He definitely experienced TBI" - you could roughly quantify that. 👍👍. Take care!

5:50 - I'm glad you boys can at least laugh at things like this! Awesome video!

I want to see the rocket hit the back of the car like in movies how they’re driving away and the rocket hits the rear axel the car flys in the air and the hero walks away from it somehow. Lets see that in high speed! I love what youre doing and happy to see everyone safe and healthy.

Adam seems to have bounced back from near death very well. I didn't think he head his heart in the past few vids. Definitely back on top of life now!

That door might be the coolest high speed shot I've ever seen.

As you mentioned, top tier body armor also a riot shield such as swat use

I’m so stoked to see Adam all healed up and leaning right back into awesomeness

I love that you guys get into the action fairly quick and don't have an obnoxious 5 minute intro

Great and interesting video; And if you've still got the car, a rocket through the engine block front on would be an interesting experiment to see.

Best small detail is seeing all that Rust break off of the wheel well from the explosion.

best ad for used toyotas I've ever seen

Very cool video.

Watching the windshield take the shock wave before it breaks is fucking awesomeness!

If you want to go a bit up in tech, you could install 1 or 2 accelerometers to measure the force the body is taking (which will be x4 lethal). I mean if you go with the chestplate armor version.

"Wonder what that's like?" had me rolling. That was some of the driest, veteran-est humor that I have heard in awhile and find incredibly funny. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

It would be cool to test a HEAT rpg against steel and a dummy in the other side to see the damage, like what happens inside a tank or a ifv, good video
