World's FASTEST Airsoft BBs +MACH 4 - What will they destroy?

We utilized an adapter that is meant to propel crossbow bolts using a powder charge at high velocities (instead of using compressed air). This was proposed to us by Joerg Sprave of the Slingshot Channel- since he could not legally make this in Germany. He and I have also wanted to do some sort of collaboration for quite some time. The barrel of this has a 6mm ID and Danny discovered an airsoft bb would fit perfectly inside. He created a bunch of .38 loads using various amounts of powder. Not TOO bad for just screwing around huh? I think with further enhancement we could hit hypersonic speeds (+Mach 5)
Yes, aluminum airsoft bb's are a real thing. They are no more dangerous than plastic bb's in reality. (do a YT search) We were not sure if plastic bb's would hold up to the blast and we wanted a heavier bb. But we did test one .20 gram plastic bb in this test too.

Yes but it moved faster due to being so light it travels faster so it hits harder basically this is like combining the concept of a BB gun and a firearm into one cause I want to figure out how to make a 177cal firearm bullet and shell so it would be a 177cal firearm rather than it being a 177cal airgun

[@joethrecker8123]

Tyla Dube ever hear of a 17hmr?

[@BloodyWolf-gu5be]

It may be going as fast but in the end obviously the bb wont go as far as an actual steel bullet would have more mass therefore more momentum that pushes it forward for longer

[@Desklamp1234]

The flash when the bb hits is from due to a couple of things. 1 is due the the spherical shape means the first contact point on the target is a very small surface area. 2, because of that the momentary heat generated is enough to ignite the air around the BB. The same thing happens with a mantis shrimp. Its claws so quick apon contact with a shell it causes a flash of light and temperatures reaching the surface of the sun for a fraction of a second. Very cool stuff.

I think that calls for an attempt on the record, perhaps a modified .38 casing or something similar but longer (I'm not all that "up" on firearms, being stuck in the land of 12Lb air rifles and 6Lb air pistols, AKA the UK) but if you were that close with 10.25 gr then I'd suggest not much more than 10.75 would be enough... Obviously this number has likely risen in the last year, so you'd want a casing to hold at least 15gr to make sure of it... All from a smoothbore firing a ball too...

Could it be that at the speeds these were traveling, that the friction of impact in such a small area is just creating enough heat to cause that flash? I'm thinking in the vein of the heat that a pistol shrimp creates snapping its claw....

[@Keldor314]

Roger Duke I was thinking the heat of the shot compressing in the impact might have caused it.

[@Monkykrap]

I think that flash is plasma. It's a forth state of matter that i think in this case the pellets sublimate from a solid phase straight in to a plasma and it skips both liquid phase and the gas phase. This is probably due to the incredible pressure that occurs when the pellet makes contact with the plate. This focused energy point releases the bond between the atoms and electrons of both materials and causes the flash. I don't know but it seems like that could be whats happening :) Or it's the air compressing at the point of impact that causes the flash. Like what happens if you shoot a gun under water. Smarter every day made a video about that.

It's sad going back to these old videos, now that Danny is gone. He looks so much healthier in this vid

[@joek511]

LOL that's so funny. The flashes may be the air igniting between the BB and the target at the time of impact. High density air, friction on impact creating heat, and boom a tiny explosion.

[@Mvan559]

No spread between two balls **Laughs in Jeorg Sprave**

[@keeperofthecheese]

From my limited knowledge of airsoft I believe that BB would be considered "a bit hot."

[@utrak]

might still be legal in russia, lol

[@Tunkkis]

Most likely not field legal anywhere. Except maybe in Russia like Eurotrash RC mentioned above.

[@zalittleman183]

I really wish I could of saw the slow mo and aftermath of the last shot but another great video guys!

[@bobbybologna3029]

"The Legendary Joerg Sprave" that's right, Legendary Viking

[@deathqueef69]

Airsoft BB vs tannerite?

[@T3hub3r1337]

It has the velocity required, but im not sure if the mass is enough, atleast on the plastic ones.

[@shrrade]

darkwarrior there are .46 bb’s, heavier than the aluminum ones he was using novritsch.com/products/sniper-bbs/

[@shrrade]

darkwarrior the aluminum ones he used are .3

[@richardwatson1254]

With a BB flying this fast, feel free to call it "deadliest" as well.

[@spyfox434]

Richard Watson that pic is lovely

[@jacobgarcia7797]

Thomas Bear Don’t encourage it.

[@poptoe11]

What anime did that pic come from. My friend wants to know.

[@austinwilson6244]

Scorpio651 yea your “friend” wants to know

[@poptoe11]

Austin Wilson Yeah he does. HE NEEDS TO KNOW!

[@frogger832]

Want to see more bb ammo! Its interesting seeing something small but super fast!

[@andrewince8824]

My airsoft sniper, a modified VSR-10 (based on the Winchester Model 70) hurls a 0.36g pellet at 470FPS from a 22 inch barrel. It's only legal in airsoft matches as long as I respect a 20m (approx 22yard)engagement distance. Kudos on creating the only BB rifle which has a 220 yard minimum engagement.

[@THEfamouspolka]

I think a rifled interation of the adapter insert is in order and copper even mild steel BB's. also, i noticed the for end of the adaptation is just slopping around there it needs the same afforded as the breach so as it's not just wiggling around in there. you get those issues sorted and something tells me that shit will be a lot more fun to experiment with. they make .17 or/ .177 rounds. I'd liken it to a muzzleloader version of that. maybe the last resort to putting food on the table if a catastrophic O' shit happens. when any O' shit event happens in our live's we must adjust I can see the scenario very well, going down like that. so many of us are not ready for such a thing. I could see how getting caught with your pants down would cause one to adjust in just that manner all just suggestions one more though for you guys to digest at the outer forend of the breach a sleave magnet would work to hold any ferrous material BB in place so it doesn't roll out the end. air rifle companies use something of the sort, regularly. having said all that wordy stuff my interest is in seeing how little propellent could be expended for the maximum effective range as to outlast a sudden change in order to not just survive it but begin to thrive again. it also could be used to conserve the high calibers needed to protect you and loved ones while enabling you to still get grub on the table. i know this was just meant to be fun but fun can be made to be practical. only if all things could be fun to arrive at practical solutions. keep up the good work boys and have your fun where you can.

[@tmacie2]

Cool stuff! Nice sweatshirt Danny....Keith is a cool dude.

[@armor1z]

I think this is my new favorite video by you guys. This was awesome lol

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!!

[@ThunderbirdAnthares]

well, gotta say, that was both wacko and super fun to watch :P happy new year :P

[@pauljs75]

I wonder how that would do if it had some alignment vanes to keep it positioned in the barrel, some rifling, and diabolo pellets?

[@ericthompson6354]

Awesome! Very impressive. Would like to see the arrow near those speeds as well! Quality vid. :)

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@theroller5673]

My two favorite channels!!!!

[@jasonlogan5765]

you just made an atom smasher

[@generalrubbish9513]

God damn, an airsoft BB traveling at 1.3 km/s. Didn't think that was a sentence I'd ever get to type.

[@morninguvnuh4769]

Crazy - I, too, watch Turn Wright Machine Work's videos. Nice YT connection, Jeff.

[@msalis1]

Incredible ripple in that ballistic jelly. Amazing!

[@fdgaming]

did i just hear an american use metric???? whats the world coming to

[@laurinmohr9810]

FDG a better place

[@TheOregonOutlaw]

He was egg nogged up - it shouldn't happen again... whoops!@

[@shrrade]

FDG I’m Canadian and I use imperial, this is a fucked up world 😂😂

[@jamesluck2969]

FDG, I use metric because it makes sense in smaller measurements otherwise standard. Example why say you need 8/64th.

[@colsoncustoms8994]

1/8".125"

[@MrJmaul]

Love this video, I'm amazed how saddened I am by the loss of one of my favorite KZbin personalities. RIP

[@among-us-99999]

Would love to see more tiny projectiles at speeds over mach 2!
