I love the small group dynamic in this video. It feels more like one of the old hacksmith videos back in the house but with all of the fantastic production value weve gotten used to recently.

[@lae1428]

everyone seems so energetic and looks like they are having genuine childish fun.

[@zeshuetoral8411]

I appreciate the more in-depth explanation of the plan and more details shown of the build! Hopefully that trend continues :)

[@ing.anthony7097]

Great video! and what i loved the most was the detailed explanation of the launcher! Most youtubers think that what's important is always the end product, but we as engineers, we really care about the engineering and the design behind it so we can learn stuff while enjoying the video and what you're doing! Thanks for that and please keep this up as it makes the videos 100 times better when we understand what's going on!

The barrel is the MVP of these types of videos. Always there when needed for dangerous testing. Standing proudly, even when enveloped in flames.

[@PlayNowWorkLater]

As a fellow Canadian, this channel makes me proud of the potential, of what can be done in our winters. Go HackSmith! Awesome video!

[@PlayNowWorkLater]

Also, can you make a scaled down DIY version of this?

[@ChuckSploder]

I literally just got back from my first visit to Canada, the Rockies up there are almost better than in Colorado

[@Rekker1]

I wonder what would happen to a Canadian in an Australian summer.

[@michelekuerner7631]

12:48 He definitely tried to give a high five 😂

[@vortix5879]

I think its important to note that the munition was the weak link in this video, if you change the munition from ice to metal you would get an even more dangerous weapon out of this build. Would be interested how thick of a steel plate it could punch through

[@kagetasan]

Did you ever think of making the projectiles out of Pycrete ice? Might help with the breaking up in the barrel issue.

[@shadoggo2524]

I love the energy and happiness that Charles has after every shot

[@oct2274]

@Michael O'Connell ya, it's a bit over the top and forced

[@littlenour1]

A little tooooo much energy. Dude needs to chill out with his new snowball launcher...and practice his aim better

Then it can be BELT FED

[@HerbaMachina]

Christ that'd just be so OP. A bit of depleted uranium armour plating around the roll cage and that thing would be a fully armoured sci-fi mech suit at that point.

[@nathan471]

The amount of creativity here is insane! Can't wait to see what you guys do next!

[@darrylpioch2055]

I FULLYYYYYY understand Charles' happiness in this video. Throughout the course of my life I've made a few completely deadly airguns (including a vortex gun that shoots over 10,000 rounds per minute) and yep... that feeling you get when it's done and blow something to a million pieces with it is something special XD

[@sagittariusa3463]

Would it launch harder projectiles? Like the ones you guys used for the cannon that was mounted onto the Cybertruck?

[@alexreitler]

It probably does, as it's just an over engineered potato cannon so it should launch anything that fits in the barrel I'm sad they didn't actually try it on video though

[@XF_Chaos]

Just wait till someone decides to load steel ball bearings or marbles. That’s when shit gets serious

[@TheRealAlpha2]

The master plan seems to be certainly on point so far, keep up the great and entertaining work.

[@pigseatwaffles87]

I'd say this definitely up there with one of the cooler builds you've done

[@ConnorHolland]

I like the fast flow valve design, the machining, and the laser cutting

[@alan-kelly]

Really nice job explaining how it works, showing the build, and showing a pretty comprehensive test, all in 18 minutes.

[@davloe]

If you ever gonna make a V2 of this, you could try to get closer to the original by actually using snow - compressed into the right shape and density by using some of the air pressure. Imagine, you fill in some snow, press a button/lever that compresses the snow into essentially ice projectiles - and boom, you got yourself an unlimited ammo cheat code during winter😎 That said, the existing build is far better than what Epic Games puts into their game every winter😅

[@terremotoraptor]

Cool! Now build a fortnite minigun.

Yo I see you on so many videos 🤣🤣🤣

The firing sound it makes is actually legendary. It sounds like a genuine fantasy weapon.

[@andrewgillacudymcfee8152]

i'm just imagining the guys as criminals robbing banks with these weapons, it's crazy!!!

[@red-jy3hc]

Now what you need to do is to challenge mark Roger with his machine snow gun.

[@speedymatt1236]

Mark Rober, not Roger. It’s speed vs power!

[@red-jy3hc]

Sorry stupid auto correct

[@speedymatt1236]

That’s understandable

[@IzzeTee]

So much Fun to watch, missing littlebit of the detail in process and maybe some failures? Nethertheless, awesome love you guys

[@bookman5235]

Something you should build is the mask and sword from dishonored, I know it’s not a huge project like your always doing now, but it would be a sick thing to have a folding sword and a mask that can zoom in.

[@nikkothegoblin]

Now this is a classic project! Good old engineering based on more accessible concepts

[@fell9654]

Potato cannon speeds meets hardened ice balls, doesn't sound like a problem at all

[@ZeroVoidd]

wait that’s actually low-key awesome. I’ve played Fortnite for a couple years and the snowball launcher is cool. the video editing is top-tier too.

[@aurilio5633]

Imagine the damage if they had used those super strong ice made with cotton balls. It would pack a real deadly punch!

[@jakesto]

This is one of the coolest projects on the channel! It's not only super fun and dangerous, but I also learned how really fast valves work!

[@Egoist1233]

"You know it's a hacksmith weapon,when it's designed to be a two handed weapon but you need two men to hold it."Nah bro that got me rolling on the floor 😂

[@Tabletop-Newtype]

[@naxmorvigatore4168]

That's fantastic you could use aluminum cans as sabo's to launch pretty much whatever you want out of that thing

Will Farrell's Cannon has been achieved

[@TheCasualCartoons]

If snow men throw snow balls dose that mean there throwing there own flesh?

In a way, yes.

[@TreefireX]

Might be easier to fire at the hip if the handle and trigger were on top of the gun, but love it as a mounted cannon. The power is unbelievable.

[@mr.tuttles8288]

This project was so cool! It would of been kind of cool to see it against one of those ballistic dummies to see how dangerous it is haha!

[@redhood2426]

Introducing the latest in expert home defense: the Hacksmith Ice Laucher

[@evanlephrog7337]

This thing is literally perfect. You can use it as a shotgun, or for precision, and precision also has a teeny tiny shotgun effect as well.

[@dantecoiro2437]

Ayyy y'all should make the ray gun from call of duty 😀😀🍆

[@IncendiaryOCE]

You know shit's crazy when the IRL version is more dangerous than the in-game one. For extra accuracy you could either rifling in the barrel or a rifled ice slug. A cardboard sabot might help protect the ice as it flies down the barrel so it doesn't disintegrate, or at least keeps better groupings.

[@hridantmehta6209]

"you know its a hacksmith project when it is a two handed weapon and it requires 2 people to hold it" This line is just elite

Thats the most hyped ive ever seen anybody for an airgun, but with that kickback I can see why. This thing is insane!

[@Scarecrow1965]

Well, I'm truly impressed by the engineering feat you guys have captured into this weapon. I only wished that you could have at least tried just once with a compressed snowball and see the outcome. I just hope that all the "baddies" out there are well suited/armoured when you go against them with that thing. HA HA HA. Hey, maybe you could hook it up with your security system?

[@jono6379]

Cool idea but aren't all snowball launchers technically subsonic? 😆

[@avatarspirit57]

Legal restrictions in Canada I guess.

[@Multiversal2010]

They should replace the Fortnite launcher with yours. I think your next project should be a mechanical T. rex like from the movies.

[@speedymatt1236]

Or rework it in a way. It would be a rocket launcher at low pressure, and a high damage shotgun at high pressure.

[@piplup10203854]

This thing needs better optics but imagine bringing this out like snowball fights are about to have a lot more stakes on the line 😆
