@@speedlimit6869Hey, have you actually seen how most people handle weapons? Muzzle and Trigger Discipline requires constant mindfulness. Believe it or not, that's something most people can't do. Only people properly educated that handle weapons frequently can really do it the way you're supposed to. And that unfortunately means that most people who own firearms don't actually have good muzzle and trigger discipline. Hell, most gun owners don't even engage their safety when they're supposed to. I know that the ideal standard is that muzzle and trigger discipline is supposed to be a no-brainer, tantamount to breathing for a gun owner. But the reality is different. So, complimenting him on demonstrating good fundamentals isn't a waste of time. Even if it feels like it should be.

8:30 I think what you are seeing is triboluminescence. This is a phenomenon that occurs when light is produced as a result of mechanical action such as pulling apart, ripping, scratching, crushing, or rubbing materials.

[@PierceArner]

Those tiny cavitation explosions in the ballistic gel for the second shot was _CRAZY._

[@alphagt62]

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.

[@zecuse]

@@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.

[@alphagt62]

@@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.

[@zecuse]

@@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.

I've watched this video probably a half dozen times and I'm still blown away by the shots you guys got with Scott. I'd really, really like to see you guys do more of these. Like, with the 4-bore... 😁

[@ItsCleedusBoyz]

Gavin’s laugh that seems to only surface when Dan is in pain is super contagious 😂

[@AlkaRez]

exactly why people love him in play pals.

[@tamthuong4048]

ok

[@capella95]

15:52 good discipline Kentucky Ballistics quickly turns away after that recoil to avoiding get splashed, and in slow mo, already has his finger straight and off the trigger.

[@mofatjippyfransisco713]

By far, the coolest collaboration...this was awesome.

[@RobWenzel84]

That slow mo of the shoulder blade was crazy awesome

[@therileseffect2833]

I love that Gav and Dan have been so successful with KZbin. It's a simple theme, everything in slow motion. But for them to consistently upload unique, entertaining videos while never straying from the original idea. Huge respect to them both for the creativity and dedication, especially Dan for that killer back hair

This is one of those episodes that you don’t want to end and no matter how long it is it wasn’t long enough.

ayo?

[@semlohde1]

Just watching the beginning i can't help smile and feel like i'm among goofy guys!!! Ive had both shoukder replaced and just watching hurts. Fun video, since I'm on this end , home and in the recliner!!

[@toddwilliams254]

Absolutely the best footage I've seen. Well done!

[@barefootpastor]

Watching that shot through the ballistic gelatin as a former army medic was terrifying. I would never want to see that injury

[@buggalo]

exactly my feelings watching this. it's incredible, in a horrific way, to see the creativity and ingenuity of humanity being used to create such powerful weapons

[@UhKimboze]

@@buggalo Getting that same vibe from the new Oppenheimer movie.

[@orimoreau3138]

Don't mean to be rude but I don't think you need to be a medic to tell there would be nothing but red mist left if that was an animal/person instead of balistic gel

[@vinhhuynhthe6978]

ok

[@GearboxEnt]

That shot of the first solid bullet going through the ballistic gel blocks is officially the coolest slo-mo footage you guys have ever shot. Astounding!

[@taylortreadgold4810]

Both shots had me speechless.

[@prophez23]

I agree 💯!

[@hotmoffitt]

So much about this video is SO awesome! Thanks so much for making this!

[@user-hb7ww8bd9s]

ty all for this amazing video. i am so dumbfounded and shocked at the gell effects, it is sooo different to see the flash at brass penetration and then the almost exit of the lead slug. this is amazing tyvm for the educational view. you are great keep it up. :D

[@mistertwister2000]

“You don’t wanna shoot?” I love how you can see him holding in his laughter, what a pleasant guy

[@BlackGryph0n]

So glad to see you guys working with Scott! If you ever wanna fly to AZ and film tannerite in slow motion, lemme know!

[@saucy_dragon1566]

I’d love to see that!

[@Funtime_Lycanroc]

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

[@lioniate2917]

That will be so cool to see

[@ToxicSkull0]

Slow mo voice overs lets goo

[@r.l.7160]

This was one of the most amazing videos you guys have ever made!

[@izzyplusplusplus1004]

That was an amazing collaboration, and one of your best videos ever!

[@Toileetpapr]

1:20 that shell catch was slick.

[@bigredc222]

He's done that once or twice.

[@user-oq8ie2wv7z]

Damn. That was IMPRESSIVE.

[@nutmeggaming11261]

Glad someone else noticed it!

[@racingwithsammy349]

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

[@Ubercut]

This collab never crossed my mind, but it is genuinely some of the best entertainment I've seen so far this year.

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

It's not their first collab.

[@TheEDFLegacy]

Best thing is, this is the second one! They did one a year ago trying to recreate a near-fatal accident Kentucky Ballistics was a part of.

[@gregoryjclark81]

Those 3 smaller cavitation explosions at 12:51 are incredible. So intriguing to be able to witness the effects at such speed and resolution. Super cool.

[@namemycactus]

These collabs are the best! I couldn't stop laughing and the footage was incredible

[@Neptunequeen42]

I used to do high-resolution fluid simulations on a supercomputer. All I can think when I see that gel exploding is how incredibly expensive it looks! Not the material, not the camera, or the bullets, but the MOTIONS! That job gave me such a newfound respect for the incredible beauty and complexity of fluid dynamics. I look at something like this and marvel in awe at how reality.exe can possibly run something so detailed and multi-threaded and complex so effortlessly.

[@john_michael97]

Incredible how Calm Scott is when it’s not his Own channel. 😂

Its nice to see.
