[@harmontown8928]

Miss this show so much, what a time in tv history.

[@mohawk2185]

I remember this one..... testing the "FIST FULL OF DOLLARS" STEÈL/IRON PLATE? STILL WAITING FOR THIS TEST....

[@alexmccauley503]

Well we know where Demolition Ranch got the idea for his channel

[@officerhogue]

NICE.

[@bobtucker8875]

When I say we want more, I think 🤔 I'm speaking for everyone. 8 minutes, come on guys. Any way, thanks 👍 for sharing.

[@o9brian]

Welcome to Demolition Ranch

[@Lord_Alzorn]

You know what myth I always wanted them to try? Are fire escapes bullet proof? Let me set the scene. The hero of an action movie is running from the bad guys through the back alleys of the city. The bad guys pull out guns and start firing. The hero sees a fire escape. To escape the bullet fire they rush over and begin to climb up. So the myth is: even when the bad guys get directly below the hero and start shooting up, the bullets will ALWAYS hit and ricochet away. Giving the hero enough time to make a daring escape. Too bad the show never got a chance to try that one

[@ruckerbrady8342]

As long as the bullet can fit through the steel grating, which it definitely can with most small arms I'd say. However as the person running away from gun fire gets higher and higher up adding more layers of steel grading between good guy and bad guy the chances of getting hit lesson alot

[@Rizzbulla]

These guys had the greatest job in the world. Sucks they didn't get along.

[@spencercool100]

It's not that they didn't get along - in fact the opposite. They got along quite well as professional co-workers. They just aren't *friends* that people thought they were. If anything, the fact that they went for 10+ years together while having quite different and often opposing personalities is a testament to their professionalism.

[@jackham5967]

Adam is a daredevil, Jamey is a scientist.

[@jamesscott8705]

​@@spencercool100 You can tell by the way they talk to each other that they do not like each other. It's pretty obvious. Idc what they have said in interviews afterwards. They didn't like each other.

[@bubwal23xifan]

They didn't like each other, they tolerated each other for the show. Jamie is introverted and Adam is a very energetic extrovert. As an introvert myself, I wouldn't be able to stand Adam either.

[@Haarschmuckfachgeschafttadpole]

They got along, it's more that they were opposing personalities which is why the show was so great. Each had different ideas and they both really appreciate the other. You can like someone and appreciate their knowledge/skills enough to work with them every day for 15 years but at the same time not be interested in being close friends. Also remember these guys in the earlier seasons spent like 60+ hours a week together. For a lot of people that can be stressful regardless of who it is.

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

Adam isn't very bright. The layers are not accumulative. Ballastic gel is bullet proof at the right thickness, lol.

[@Zaltic]

Anything is bulletproof if you pile it up. The entire idea of this episode is the molecular strength of certain materials

[@mufinmcstuffin-xboxone8250]

What

[@jesseshaw7998]

Please watch the other 1000s of hours of Adam getting it right.

[@craiglittlefield9956]

Choose your bullet wisely

[@craiglittlefield9956]

If you would’ve jumped in with toes pointed down, it would’ve went straight in because his feet are flat the crust on top was enough to support it.
