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. Interestingly enough, SmarterEveryDay also noticed this effect when shooting Prince Rupert's drops with a gun (go to 1:34 on "AK-47 vs Prince Rupert's Drop (at 223,000 FPS) - Smarter Every Day 170")

As in, the energy release is intense enough to generate light? Dayum. I wonder if at least part of that's because of friction causing a short-lived ignition. I mean it _could_ be plasma for all I know, but then what would be ionizing the gases?

[@malice5121]

I have to agree. The billiard destruction was one of the tops for me before this. That cavitation and explosions were another world amazing.

[@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.

[@ManofLowMoralFiber]

That flash of light at 8:29 is absolutely amazing. It looks like a flashlight, and it goes through both blocks. For only 1/82,000th of a second. I've never seen that before.

[@Scapeonomics]

It's probably sonoluminescence.

[@suraceryan]

@@ScapeonomicsThat’s what I thought too

[@bladeofphoenix]

My hypothesis: Trace accelerant on the bullet that achieved secondary ignition as a result of compressed air between the bullet and the gel. Happens again in the gap between the two gel block, but smaller, so less trace accelerant to ignite or lowered bullet velocity resulting in less compressive heat generated? Or sonoluminescence like @Scapeonomics suggested. 😅

[@tpeter4240]

@@bladeofphoenixIMO, the light is just way too concentrated to be an ignition from compression. It’s not impossible, but it’s just so bright, and the gun powder used in ammo I don’t think can burn that bright, at least not that I’ve seen.

[@rainnydaay2116]

I think it might be the ballistic gel being compressed by the force, changing how it looks in light to make it look like a flash from the bullet. Same thing with it entering the second block but with less force

That slow mo of the shoulder blade was crazy awesome

[@andysPARK]

I really like this guy. Gruff,honest and open. The video capture is awesome. The invention and intended use of those hollow points are horrifying.

[@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

[@h.a.9880]

Scott really is a national treasure. The guy plays it rather goofy in his own videos, but here you can see what a likeable fella he is, when he's not playing up the Kentucky Ballistics persona. He appears to be the kinda guy that would be unlimited fun to hang out with at a BBQ while drinking some nice cold beer and talking smack.

[@lesliecompton4061]

and very much safety first too and to think stood next to eddie hall he looked small and small he is not

[@italiangunpowder]

Him and his family are a treasure. His dad and wife are the unseen unheard pillars of kentucky ballistics and bring just as much joy and happiness as scott himself does

chiropractor gun... fixes spots missed by even pro chiropractors

[@thomaswall4285]

That was breathtaking. You could not have picked a better guy to help with this. Thank you..

[@Willian_Boa_Tarde]

This video is amazing! The footage is unexplainably beautiful! You guys formed a nice team!

[@DarkDodger]

I love the slow mo guys not just for their cool content, but because any collab they're a part of is just absolute fire.

[@birdyfeederz7940]

Literally, in this case

[@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 💯!

[@NickMullet]

Bro you handled that recoil better than Eddie hall!

[@billyvandervoet7080]

This is one of the most Amazing slow motion videos I’ve ever seen!!! The actual physics of what is happening during impact never accrued to me!!! And the point of impact the energy actually made a glow or light. Absolutely Fantastic Video, looking forward to future videos. 💪

[@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

[@Sobat_HAPE]

Great collaboration. Loved it

[@bedhead69420]

[@ellwoodwolf]

You can tell how happy it makes Kentucky ballistics by the satisfaction he gets from seeing others experience it, he’s eager to share what he loves. Big guns might be his religion.

[@spiddyman0079]

is this a genuine comment or an advertisement for your channel?

[@chrisferguson1911]

​@@spiddyman0079Does it matter? Made the counter go up 1, and if they "liked" and "shared" then that was good for everybody. So I think you can quit asking everyone who comments, and has a checkmark, if they are "advertising".

[@FunWithDHG]

12:33 This was one of the coolest things I've seen recently. Absolutely amazing! Thanks, Scott!

[@FaultlineSurfer]

Everything that happens to the first block looks incredible.

[@slackerpope]

Best gel video ever! Thank you.

[@Grimpurple_minion99]

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.

[@nextheemcee]

ayo?

[@NLGogeta]

@@nextheemceehow is that a ayo moment ?

[@mistertwister2000]

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

[@SageGamingChannel]

Simply put in one word. Beautiful.

[@bubbacomputer]

You guys and Scott make a great collab!! That was a lot of fun to watch.

[@lucasblanchard47]

The sequence of tiny explosions inside of the ballistic gel looked INCREDIBLE! Great content as always, much love from Texas!

[@NoxiousPluK]

It so reminded me of the gross slimy parts of the Matrix. Amazing footage .

[@tbrowniscool]

You know its the bad-end of violent when the air is setting on fire within the target. Can you imagine what a tank APDSFS does at 4500-5900fps and 19.8KG (305560.7Grain)

[@GideonCyn]

Implosions*

[@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.

[@crayonchomper1180]

Always glad to see Scott

[@TAGfrost]

I love fluid dynamics, seeing solids or gasses move like a liquid reminds me that everything is a fluid if you scale time and space enough.

[@peghead]

What would happen if they fired into a non-Newtonian fluid such as a corn starch/H2O mixture?

[@artcurious807]

there has to be some crossover between fluid dynamics and the big bang. the glue looks like the scattering of matter throughout the universe after the big bang

[@AR15andGOD]

@@artcurious807 There certainly is. The clumping of matter is just like the clumping of water on a hydrophobic surface like plastic, and the surface tension is just like gravitational forces

[@john_michael97]

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

[@jamesmaybrick2001]

Its nice to see.
