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!

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....

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 😅

@islamisthetruewaytogod68127 ай бұрын
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) -------------------------

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 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.

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.

@@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.

Hilarious how they are debating whether the lacerations and broken rib might have been fatal, meanwhile the dummy’s head is 75% severed. And 100% of the spine is severed. Awesome video as always.

That way it kinda bounced of at first and then exploded at an angle was weird. But I guess that's because your "wall" gave in before the thing could even detonate. Might have been a total different thing though on a properly comstructed wall which has usually at least two rows of blocks plus some cement.

Not sure if you guys noticed, but at 9.30; you can see the bit of cinderblock that connected with the dummy head. It's bouncing back towards the camera and has got quite a big blood patch on it

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!!
@chuckyzee17 ай бұрын
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

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!

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.

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

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.

@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.
@thelordelric84247 ай бұрын
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.

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."

@technicalfool7 ай бұрын
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!
