50 BMG VS iMAC - I'VE HAD ENOUGH...

[@rururu5630]

As a guy who used to repair Apple computers and PCs for a living, this video is cathartic. I have never shot an IMAC , but I enjoyed watching you do it! Getting into Apple computers (and getting parts) is a nightmare compared to most PCs. I wish Apple computers would open a fraction as easily as the 50 BMG opened that IMAC. Nice to know the IMAC is actually useful!

[@Njazmo]

Well, in older iMacs, the front glass was held up by magnets, but i guess they use glue now.

[@baomao7243]

This felt like an updated version of the fax beat down scene in the Office. Satisfying.

[@lynnkramer1211]

If your scenario were to be hiding behind the monitor, then you might want to shoot the monitor from the other side.

[@robertcainjr.7627]

My thoughts exactly! Lol

[@mrgfix]

Best use of a MAC that I have seen.

[@ka-pop2243]

Figures there'd be an anti-Mac fanatic in the audience. 🙄

[@foreverbrownsfan]

So 22 Plinkster has poor taste when it comes to technology 🤔

[@mhughes1160]

What a time we live in 🤔 We need bulletproof computers 🖥 and cyber trucks 🛻 While we are being cyber attacked. . LoL 😂

[@mrgfix]

@@foreverbrownsfan I came from a business environment with Linux & Windows world. They are over priced so I never had much use for them.

[@scottyV1000]

We sure know a PC wouldn’t save you plus Macs last forever. I got 10 years out of my last one and it still works great but Apple stopped OS support. From the looks of things it’s the same as Plinkster’s.

[@alabamaman1372]

Came for the .22 Stayed for the .50

[@Hatch61]

That slomo with 50 was definitely worth the price of admission. Thanks Plinkster.

[@paulsimmons5726]

This reminds me of Elvis shooting the TV in his Vegas hotel room! Plinkster, you need to start growing those sideburns and look for some bell bottoms!

[@datadavis]

iirc he used a snubnose 357, saw it in a museum 30 years ago lol

[@carmbu]

Cool video. For a bit I thought I was watching Kentucky Ballistics and all that was missing was the throwing of a folding table!

[@VTPSTTU]

Thanks for the video. You shot my entire ammo budget for a month in that one video.

[@davids8493]

I am quite surprised that the hard drive managed to stay on top of the stand. Great video Dave. 👍👍

[@EdAb]

In your scenario you would have been sitting on the glass side, therefore the test is only relevant if the computer is shot at from the back/metal side. No... I'm not taking this tooo seriously! 🤣

[@b-villeboy2704]

I really like the balloons .... tied to a line deal. I think I'll try that this coming weekend. Keep having fun :)

[@g54b95]

Figured 9mm would go through, but no. Fun video!

[@viclee8407]

Nice grouping with that bmg, almost one hole except for the one flyer on the bottom left. Nice video!

[@thegunlovingcanadian]

I can't believe you didn't try stangers!

[@scottsharp9808]

I watched your video you did with the binary trigger installed in the Ruger 10/22 Charger and enjoyed it! I took it a step further and installed a binary trigger in my Ruger 10/22 Tommy Gun kit. I'm loving it!

[@beeworld5968]

مرحبا اشترك في قناتي عالم النحل والطبيعة 😊

[@Keith-q9p]

But you would have been facing the screen, not sitting behind it. Derr, you shot it ass about face!

[@halfcirclehranch6877]

I kinda hoped you'd throw a bit more variety on the .22 LR you used. Like maybe using some Stangers... though not the ones from my signed pack from NRA 2023. Though it probably wouldn't penetrate, it would have been interesting to see a heavy weight .22, like maybe an Aguila Sniper Subsonic.

[@pete6199]

I really like this type of video. The 50 is a good closer.

[@FieldStrip357]

Super cool video. I really like the slow motion video. 👍🏻

[@christophercheek8464]

You should’ve tried Federal Punch.

[@DavrosVonSkaro]

LOL, that reminded me of the Death Star in Star Wars or that guys head in SCANNERS.

[@BobH-x8x]

SURPRISED IT STOPPED THE 22LR

[@VTSteve]

BUT, no, that drive ain't dead yet my friend!!

[@KenBallerstadt-lf4qg]

Dude I almost didn’t click on this video… I’m glad I didn’t miss it!!! That was cool

[@yourdawgskip]

Will you PLEASE review the mk4 carbines made by MaddMacs Precision Tactical? There’s only 1 very tame review for them on KZbin. I’m obsessed with the Ruger mark series and would love a more in-depth look at these, before I pull the trigger on buying one myself

[@bk7278]

That’s the most expensive body armor ever produced

[@bcbloc02]

Your hard drive has reached an unrecoverable state of error. LOL

[@steveneads9222]

Yep, gotta redo the test with the screen facing the other direction...

[@willblack5419]

IDK, bit of duct tape you could be back in business. 😂😂

[@hessex1899]

I did this once with a Martini Henry. It was *way* more epic than a .22. It was not, however, as epic as an APIT.

[@ArcanusLibero]

I always carry my iMac as a shield in street battles. lol.

[@donaldhollingsworth3875]

I would have figured the CCI Mini Mag would have penetrated the computer screen. I am always amazed that the 9mm round did not penetrate the computer screen.

[@m7rtim532]

He must have cheese pizza in there

[@brian770]

what about the mighty VELOCITOR ???

[@joeaverage3657]

Not to worry Dave. That screen will buff right out !!

[@brianbard9016]

Shouldn't you be shooting it from the other side?

[@adonian]

When you said A.P.I.T. I started drooling 🤤

[@Steamrunner]

At least the cameraman knows how easily information can be gained off a HHD, even a mildly damaged one.

[@steras7780]

22plinkster is the modern William Tell !😉

[@arrived63]

Oh dear.....you shot the wrong side....test failed.

[@davidstrother496]

Unsuppressed Mini-Mags from a rifle would probably go through, maybe! Thanks for the fun video.

[@cshubs]

I am watching this on my 8yo iMac.

[@ka-pop2243]

And I'm watching on my 7 yr. old iMac! I'd rather shoot a Windoze computer.

[@scottyV1000]

@@ka-pop2243Just replaced my 2014 IMac this December because Apple dropped OS support - still working fine though.

[@DCmey]

I wish that you would have tried some stingers

[@apollosun6268]

They gonna be shooting you from the screen side?

[@claytonshields1820]

Something tells me there’s something very valuable on that hard drive lol

[@acgayle2494]

Technically with your stated scene using it as cover, You should be shooting the back not the screen. Either way the video was interesting.

[@Vince-ml9gw]

Dudeman, freaking awesome and hilarious 😂

[@RenoAK82]

Turn it around so the metal is first hit.

[@stephenbell8755]

Why didn't you use CCI Stangers?

[@22plinkster]

I didn't want to blow it up on the first shot. 🤣

[@scottyV1000]

I wonder what f the Genius’ could fix it if you took it in - it might still have trade-in value.

[@joeaverage3657]

Do the hard drive with a 12ga.

[@2A-J.MAY94]

The new TTI canik is cool but the caniks are just so thick.

[@mikewheeler3449]

Now wait, you would be glass side towards you. So if shooting from behind the monitor would it stop through the glass being last to go through.

[@joesworld396]

What up dave

What up!

Should a went to 22long rifle rifle n seen , problem is is with all vids I see on tube. Anything you shoot first 5 rounds you've compromised the next .

@@chrisneff4864 22 Plinkster had some Stingers renamed after he kept calling them stangers due to his accent. CCI now sells Stangers, 32 grain at 1,640 fps.

WoW!!! i knew apple was strong but dang!!!

[@Ferd414]

Before hitting play, I'm guessing no, .22LR won't do the job - I'm typing on a Mid-2020 iMac 27", and it's got a mighty thick tempered glass panel for a screen. Add the (surprisinly thick) aluminum back side, and I expect that it'll take a .38 special +P (or hotter) to go through. (My "late-2013" rig has a nick in the screen from when I had a edge of the front glass from the time I zigged when I should have zagged, and whacked it with the corner of a triangular file - ANd that's EXACLTYT what the damage is - A nick that can't even be seen - only felt with a fingernail if you do it in the right spot.The rest of the screen is totally pristine, despite being 11 years old, with at last one previous owner. Hah... I see I called it - Even a 9 just barely got through, then got stopped by the stand.

[@solman93]

While in fun, you were shooting the wrong side if you were sitting working on your iMac

[@floridamike75]

Well you didn't try Stingers..

[@glenleonard7610]

how about suppressor options for .22s

[@MBroam]

it's safe to say you fragmented your hard drive 😉

You skipped the stingers and bought a Turkish pistol? 😢

[@MegaPugsley1]

I think you are on the wrong side of the screen...?

[@MightyRude]

I think the parts will fall out when hit from the back.

I'd think Federal Punch would go through it.
