[@TheHorzabora]

Watching all those safety precautions makes you *really* understand how fragile life is, and how luck can turn on basically nothing within your control. The guys did everything right, the weapon clearly worked fine, they took one *final* shot - and not even really a real risk, people fire RPGs all day everyday all over the world - and *bam* bad luck on camera. But no one died, recovery is real - if often difficult and not a straight line - and they captured amazing footage that people will no doubt use for very useful things (such as studying weapons failures, or contributing to the study of TBI) for decades to come. Good work, keep that slow-no footage coming, and push those boundaries! There are so many things in the world we understand mathematically and in theory, but the *public* have never seen, you and others provide actual footage of something we can never see. And it’s beautiful - if gruesome for many - footage at that!

[@delmaneboshoff5610]

If the wall was solid concrete with reinforcing you may still have a slight chance. The cinder blocks don’t have much strength to them.

[@Nate-R89]

I was thinking the same thing, but you would still wanna stand back from the wall, maybe 10 to 15 feet.

[@hishamfouad841]

Just a quick note here, at (6:10) we can see the missile flying with an approximate speed of 61 m/s (200ft/s ), but the RPG's top speed can reach 294 m/s (960 ft/s).. So the missile hit the wall with one-fifth of its original battle-field-designed speed...One of the main reasons for this slow speed is the fact that the distance between the launcher and the wall was very small, and the RPG missile has two sections, the (booster) which consists of some powder charge that serves to propel the grenade out of the launcher, and the (sustainer motor) which ignites and propels the grenade to provide more speed and stability, I read online that the sustainer ignites and starts propelling the missile after around 11 meters (36 ft).. This missile didn't even get the chance to gain its momentum, and we know that higher momentum will exert more penetration power upon impact... So I believe it's good to assume we're lacking a lot of penetration power in this scenario above and that the whole scene would've looked so much different if that missile got the chance to build enough momentum upon impact, it's also a suicidal action to shoot someone that close, the shrapnel and shockwave will kill the shooter as much as its target , so, the real-live scenario would be shooting from a longer distance with much higher momentum accumulating on the incoming missile before impact.... If there's any experts on this matter please correct me if I'm wrong....

[@Chris_Toney]

Although it's more work, constructing a "proper concrete wall" might be more informative. Using mortar and steel rebar with concrete blocks is a more real-world scenario. I would like to add that this is still pretty amazing, and I really appreciate your work! Cheers!

[@karelkopecky8244]

I agree. Alsow the title of the video is slightly missleading. There is no concrete after all. Cheers!

[@SnibsnBibs]

I would be interested in seeing if it makes it more or less deadly for the victim. On one hand there's a stronger wall and not as much of it ends up flying towards you, but on the other hand some of that stuff like rebar could be even deadlier as debris than just cinderblock chunks. It's like trying to find the right balance between architectural survivability and human biological survivability.

[@brucesmith765]

They're made to kill tanks. I think they can handle concrete lol

[@damm315er]

I'm glad Adam is ok (relatively).After seeing the dummies get blown up, it's good that explosive didn't go off, just the propellant. At about 9:26 in the video, you guys were talking about how all the pieces were flying by the torso. But if you play it a couple times by there, you can see pieces going back toward the wall that had already bounced off the body.

[@luc8254]

yes! There is a HUGE chunk of brick that comes back, it for sure killed him haha

[@ComotoseOnAnime]

9:31 There's a blood splotch on the cinderblock at the center of the screen, that's at least an inch or two thick, that for sure hit something, probably the head to leave that on it.

[@cockatoo010]

Thankfully the rocket was inert. And the rocket did clear the launcher. Had it been filled with HE, it would've probably detonated away from Adam

[@creative_cooper]

​@@ComotoseOnAnime I don't think it was blood, more like a piece of block with red paint, see 0:00

[@saltanofswing6456]

It's all interesting for the footage to me but I am saddened that you couldn't have paid a bricklayer to lay them blocks with cement , it would have taken him half an hour , I'd love to see if there is a difference between a real wall and a stack of blocks!.Mainly for the purpose of seeing if taking cover behind a wall would really help.

[@samrowland2816]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, yes, some cover is always better than no cover haha. I get what you mean though, a loose stack of blocks is something you'd be unlikely to encounter in the real world.

[@edl653]

Yes, a pile of cinder blocks is "not" a concrete wall.

[@Kremit_the_Forg]

Personal opinion: It would not have made a difference. The tensile strenght of the wall even with cement and/or rebar would still be no match for the explosion. Force always finds the least amount of resistance so my guess is it would still shatter the wall in somewhat different pieces that still would be deadly. If you are behind a properly build thick bunker wall than that might be very different. But I guess next to nothing what one might encounter is really RPG rated 😅

[@aMh3c9]

@@samrowland2816more likely than an rpg

[@austin6ish]

I would be interested to see how the cinder block wall preformed with a solid, poured concrete footing as well as rebar running vertically through every 3rd or 4th cell and then reinforced with concrete as it would be constructed in the real world. Dry stacked cinder blocks on an unleveled dirt pad isn't exactly structurally sound lol

[@islamisthetruewaytogod6812]

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace) -------------------------

[@PwntifexMaximus]

Just a FYI for 10:00 Yes, explosions and explosives do indeed carry momentum. It's one of the main reasons HE shells in tanks (and other cannons) are so useful and commonplace; not just because it amplifies the impact on target but because it either slows or eliminates any shrapnel being thrown backwards entirely. You can literally safely stand 100 feet behind a 120mm HE shell going of, assuming you have good enough earprotection. Assuming no loose dirt or rocks gets picked up by the shockwave, that is.

[@Nagger666]

I thought specifically they don't. That's why they use HEAT rounds instead of a solid penetrator so it's no longer velocity dependant

[@PwntifexMaximus]

@@Nagger666 The velocity of your standard AP-shell is between 900 and 1400 m/s. APFSDS can creep up to 1600 m/s. The tip-velocity of a HEAT round is between 7000 and 12000 m/s. HEAT rounds is helped by velocity, but not as much as by better design, more mordern explosives or larger diameter. The key point is that the HEAT round doesn't NEED velocity. You can (and the Japanese did) run up to a tank with a shaped charge on a stick and it would still have nearly the same effectiveness as if fired at 1000 m/s from an advanced, expensive and very heavy gun.

was gonna say this, my grandfather was a tank and artillery commander back in Korea and Vietnam and would constantly tell stories to me, my brothers, and cousins of all the different things he got to do, one of them being that he knew exactly where he and his radio crew could stand between a tank and the target (at target practice) and have the round go past them just some 10-15 feet away, then also be close enough to the target where they could all feel the impact and explosion, but never once get hurt. he was a whole different level of crazy & smart, but all his men trusted him with their lives and never doubted a coords call or command. miss him every day, but at least him and my grandma are now forever together again

The actual thing I'd be really looking forward to see is if you can replicate the HEAT variant of the projectile. I think seeing the slow motion footage of the super dense stream of copper punching a hole on a solid steel plate would be fascinating. And you could actually see how important is the angle of impact for such rounds, especially since these rockets have been exploding at weird angles. Then again, i don't know if you could get your hands on such rounds, even if they are just basically HE with a cone shaped copper sheet. Still hoping you can though.

[@theallmightyego6756]

@@evanmorris1178 because at the velocity the copper jet is going at that speed, it acts very weird. Basically, although it’s nowhere near its melting temperature, anything it impacts, will *act* like a liquid, but from the pure speed, not temperature. You got to remember that HEAT jets usually get to about 9-11km/s in velocity; and even more insane, with the amount of acceleration they have, if it could keep accelerating indefinitely it could get to light speed in about a second. This is called hydrodynamic penetration, but remember, although the steel it’s impacting may *act* like a liquid, any sort of penetration is still purely kinetic, it does not “burn” through at all.

@maci51 the shock wave entering the wall turns the weakest part of it into high velocity shrapnel and volatile gasses, being in the direct path of that would be fatal. If you look at modern tank protection against HE shaped charged weapons, the outside of tanks are often covered in wood, cardboard, ect. This is to put distance between armor and a focused explosion.

This video contains: Loot, pecks, quality workmanship, and EXPLOSIONS! TORGUE APPROVES THIS VIDEO!!

[@Mr.Mayhem199]

“I didn’t expect that much to come out” my brain> “thats what she said” 😂

[@YourPalKindred]

love these videos, always super interesting. now i know to hide behind at least 2 cinderblock walls

[@brentbarnett9224]

While y'all are doing RPG and center block series. I'd like to see another wall built on a concrete footer with rebar and poured concrete in the center blocks with bed liner painted on the back side. Be neat to compare with what y'all have already done.

[@danzane7525]

I love that y’all fired an HE round into the general direction of a house.

[@briandickinson3721]

At 9:22 approximate in this video you can see the piece of cinder block that contacts the head/chin of the ballistic dummy and is you watch closely you can see that the piece of brick rebounds after striking the jaw area and there is red "blood" staining the cinder block in the slow-mo. Cool footage gents!!

[@chuckyzee1]

Glad your still with us after your accident. This is great but one simple way to mitigate the effects of explosives is truck bed liner like rhinoliner. Both sides coated might just have prevented that all together. Amazing stuff

[@Benzy670]

That rocket made the wall look like jenga blocks! Wild. I'd love to see y'all shoot some cars with ballistic dummies in them. It's not quite an armored vehicle or a tank, but it's close to what these bad boys were really meant for!

[@PaneInTheGlass]

your channel never disappoints!

[@Hank..]

This is a good way to reinforce the basics of taking cover from things like bombs and tornadoes: curl up and protect your neck and head with your hands. It's not gonna stop a bullet (or HE rocket) but it'll make you a smaller target for debris to hit, and provides some light protection for your neck and head. Better to have a broken arm than cracked skull or snapped neck.

[@vincentmueller3717]

"Oh, it broke his head." That's a top-notch medical diagnosis right there. Keep up the great content.

[@reginaldmctinface]

barrel & hatchet made a good point when he explained why he uses filled cinder blocks for his ballistic penetration tests. The only place you find unfilled cinder blocks is on a construction site, and filling them, even with just sand, makes a huge difference ballistically

[@johnwanderin3872]

There’s so much stuff I wanna in high speed regarding ballistics and explosives with the use of ballistic dummies… most of which is the effects of spalling from both kinetic and HE/HEAT projectiles

[@katreniaclark]

Thank You guys very much, that was GREAT!!!!!!

[@ElegantMessTechPC]

Put the ballistic dummy in a car (or some up-armored pickup) & take a shot at that! So glad you're recovering well and this series is just awesome.

[@manageablediscomfort7347]

At 9:29 you can see a big chunk of block bouncing back towards the wall with a good amount of blood on it. Must have been the one that hit his head and broke it

[@solidgeo1531]

Y’all should do 2, 3 or even 4 walls in a row just to see how many it takes to protect a person.

[@Iron_Road]

Dude is making a fantastic recovery!

[@uruuphiil8335]

Hey. hope you guys are doin' ok. glad everyones still with us! :) thanks for the amazing footage! :D

[@surryan]

RPG SchmarPeeGee! BHS barely flinches! Ya'll earned all the likes!

[@bradheath4200]

@4:30... "Your gonna have a bad day. Mkay." Great shot guys.

[@MrMaxyield]

Best channel I've found in the past 2 yrs by FAR... Great work guys!💪💪🤘 Patreon donation incoming...

[@TheNorwegianBerserker]

Rpg vs metal-plate with dummy behind it would be a great video💥

[@garettmatheis933]

Seeing the blast wave on the slow motion camera is crazy cool

[@ryanbennett2227]

Nothing short of phenomenal work gents👍.

[@Litron6]

we need a collab of Ballistic High-Speed and High Caliber Mayhem

[@venus_de_lmao]

My favorite part is seeing the way the shockwave distorts the background

[@foxfire8284]

Maybe try this same test but with variations in how you have the wall such as: without gravel, with sand, gravel and rebar, sand and rebar, concrete filling, concrete filling with rebar, crushed clay bricks, and crushed clay bricks with rebar

[@ThatEsepe]

I can't find any other word than to say I'm happy to see you walking.

[@wanttobeprivate7466]

You can see large fragments bouncing off the dummy at about 9:25-9:30, moving from right to left. You can see he took about a full cinderblock's worth of big fragments. A large one near the head has the fake blood on it, probably what snapped the neck.

[@BIGGEOFF40]

Thanks for the video guys. Interesting and enjoyable. 👍🏾

[@sakalaath]

That slow motion footage is insane.

[@gunner45357308]

Once again great video. It would be great to see rifle bullets going through mild steel and other materials.

[@Rusty.1776]

Sad knowing what happened not long after this scene was shot! Im damn glad you are "bouncing back". 💚

[@rickcs7050]

11:05 you can see here the exact second when Adam's intrusive thougths win

[@ddiver7908]

Oh wow! no one almost died on this episode..good job 👍

[@butchssurvivorranch360]

Old mate AINT TAKIN THAT VEST OR HELMET OFF EVER AGAIN AFTER THE RPG EXPLOSION.. GLAD HE SURVIVED IT INSANE HE DID... 🙏 STAY SAFE BOYS

[@01talima]

@9.28 you can see the large lump of cinderblock emerge into view near the dummy, if you track it going backwards you can see that hits him square in the face.

[@thelordelric8424]

9:25 you can see a piece of concrete bounce backwards out of the smoke likely after hitting the dummy, as well as more large pieces that appear to be head height. One of more of those might be what snapped the head.

[@Yourlocalcat_21]

The fact that adam dealed with basically being blown out by an rpg and still wanted to come back is so fucking badass

[@engmed4400]

Gentlemen, congratulations. Just so you know, the medical term for what happened to the dummy's head and neck (3:11) is known as "internal decapitation". Had that been a real person, they would have been dead before their body hit the ground. As we say in the South, "Aw, he ded."

[@kenm8376]

The spinal column was separated from the skull. The Highlander rule applies. "If your head comes separated from your neck, it's over."

[@robsorgdrager8477]

Thanks guys. Believe it or not we learn from your videos. Glad to see that safety is number one on the list, i dont want to watch a video if both of you aren't able to go over it at the end. ✌️🤙👍😘

[@bradysmart2804]

To get the “Momentum” you’re talking about you’d likely need a shaped charge. HEAT type round

[@ogregolabo]

But no sign of hollow charge? That would be real cool to see the jet of fire! 🔥

[@technicalfool]

As someone who has, uh, no experience in shooting high explosive projectiles at things, I'd say the small delay there probably made the damage a lot worse than an immediate detonation. Nearly all the initial energy of the launch went into burying the explosive inside the wall like some kind of bunker buster round, before the warhead went off and ripped everything apart. Would still be neat to see what happens with a hair trigger on the fuze though, in any case!
