I like when you use the reconstruction rounds in the RPG. 7:57
Out of curiosity, did you have to get permission from your county or state to 1) obtain a RPG and rocket, and 2) actually use it? Just curious. Thanks
That first one is exactly what would happen to me. Because I have AOS = Abs of Steel !😅
That's one way to spread Covid ! But if you were double masked you would be safe from Covid !
Can't stop. Won't stop. Can't be stopped. Love it.
Crazy how much velocity those chunks of cinder block had
Enough to canoe your cranium
Dude it actually scalped the dummy 😂😂😂
That chunk just going through the rear dummies head in slow mo(11:15 ish) and the body hardly "reacting" had me thinking of Magneto slowly slicing through Kevin Bacon's head with the Nazi coin in the prequel X-Men movie.
What are you doing here? I saw you in High Bois video recently.
Secondary frag kills - wear a helmet and cover your tackle. Science says so!
I'm so glad Adam is doing well. The fact he survived an explosion is insane.
wasn't it just the propellent exploding not the charge. I think he would look like the gel if it did. still Amazing he is alive.
@BensMiniToons there wasn't a charge at all in the rpg that exploded, just an empty canister with propellant. Also this video was filmed the same day as the incident, but obviously before.
if it wasnt a reactivated tube with that welded weakspot to direct the blast, he wouldve 100% been dead.
@@ranndomundead9112 I doubt it would have failed at all if it wasn't reactivated.
@@BensMiniToons Still an explosion.
I'm not a doctor, but I think he's dead.
He just Saved checkpoint
Bro just did the spectacle grave me with the dancing men
are you dumb obviously he survived
I think your medical evaluation is accurate...he may not have survived lol😂
He may have survived.
That’s literally the best and most beautiful image of fire and blood that I’ve ever seen.
Azazel?
In the 80's a soldier in the South African Defence Force was hit by an RPG7 projectile. It did not explode, but got stuck in his chest, just under the collar bone. A theatre had to be kitted out with sandbag walls from behind which the field surgeons could, after they had opened the area around the wound pull the projectile out with a cable. Everyone involved survived.
😢
Holy fuck
bros a fucking tank😭
In Afghanistan 2006 there was a group of soldiers from the US army that got ambushed by Taliban and one of them got hit in the abdomen by an RPG. He was evacuated by helicopter to base, had to operate on him inside a secure area made of sandbags with the help of EOD. He lived
That is just utterly insane.
Really puts into perspective how scary that was for everyone involved. Seeing what it does to a body then seeing the same explosion happen to your best friend. So glad you’re ok Adam
Well...the RPG used in the accident did not have explosives in it and did not go off, it was only the propellant charge that got jammed and exploded the launcher.
@@cyh4031 Still..... He's lucky 🙏
@@cyh4031 It was still extremely dangerous and scary as hell for everyone involved you dork. Who "well, actually" a near death experience? Starting the year off backward smh.
@@cyh4031 that’s a little better I guess be either way I’m thinking same thing….this might be dangerous 🤔
The accident didn’t involve a live rocket. The accident explosion was from the propellant blowing up inside of the launcher.
You guys manage to get some of the most incredible shots ever.
@FursonneI that is cool but I was talking about the high speed camera shots they get. It can be easy to take for granted how difficult it is to actually get the right shots in these situations where, i mean who knows if they could do a second take. idk the camera work they do is crazy good.
Justo eso estaba pensando nunca vi esto con tanto detalle
Well Adam I'm glad you're okay now. I wishing you quick full recovery. You're very lucky man. Not even lose any fingers from that blast. What a miracle. Once again get well soon Adam!
I'm so glad Adam is recovering so well. The video of the accident is just unreal. It's hard to believe anyone could survive that. Adam is a tough dude, to say the least.
A tough dude is a gross understatement. I've heard the german company Rheinmetall asked Adam for a quote on a DNA sample in order to make the next generation of tank armor.
Tough? Sure. Stupid? Definitely.
It's called luck. Had the barrel erupted slightly more towards him... well... he'd be that dummy. Human body is nothing when forces like that are at play.
nothing stupid about him. @@Xavieus
He got back blasted? Not in a homo way either?
Adam quite literally is the man who gets straight back on the horse! Great to see your remarkable recovery Adam, both physically and psychologically 💪. Inspirational stuff🙏
Not literally. Figuratively. There have not _literally_ been a single one horse in these videos.
I don't think you know what the word "literally" means.

honestly one of the most gnarliest things I've seen. Well done!
4:18 !!! there are no words...
"Ultimate safety," is the new standard. Wise choice.
(I am fairly sure) this was recorded before the accident
@@Ghost2ndamendmentit was yes
You can tell that everything was recorded before the accident except reviewing the slowmo, one of the shots where there reviewing the slowmo you hear him say he has that piece in his shop. Also in one of there previous videos they said they had more footage to release from before the accident and that the rocket explosion was the last shot of the day.
@@Ghost2ndamendment It was an obvious joke, nerds. I mean, they are advertising the meme t-shirts during this video.
One of the greatest slow motion shots ever captured. Well done!
Haha I said 'Holy S***!' A second before they did 😂
Yes the string thank you! Glad your alive. Im new around here. Glad the channels not over
I finally understood the meaning of "keep shining, the world needs your light" so at some point in your life all you need to do is put RPG right in your heart.
Having filmed your reactions after the “2023 incident,” it really makes you that much more grateful you’ve been able to heal and get back to it! Loved the video guys!
@@RobertCraft-re5sf well aren’t you just a treat at parties?
@@RobertCraft-re5sf The guy that got blown up was previously in the Army lol, i'd hope he knew about guns
@@RobertCraft-re5sfwhat the actual fuck are you talking about. Literally everything you said here is provably wrong
They are really dumb for the first one lol
@@Xavieus the first one was the launch procedure video, this was filmed before that happened
4:24 Looks straight out of a movie. The explosion and then the head falling straight down is a shot that will probably never be recreated.
So cool.
amazed at many things. Amazed at the project you guys doing, amazed by the amount of camera and the good quality content and also amazed at the impact/damage the weapons are doing! Subscribed!
Hey, you don’t actually have to one up it! Slow mo sells, and we love to see it. Keep healing up Adam!
I can already hear the jokes about how this already happened coming-
Some might say it launched a new career for him.
Wha?
Wdym?
There is no way you guys won't win almost every category at The Gundies. You're doing everything people have been asking the biggest channels to do with all of the money they make. Invest in better HS cameras is what we've been asking for and you guys aren't just showing how many plates or whatever it takes to stop a bullet. You're going ALL in. You deserve every success.
To be fair, operating a high speed camera like this one is something not everyone can do.
@@bobkowalski7655 what a dumb statement
@@bobkowalski7655they sit on a stationary tripod for one, and for two there’s so so soooooo many resources out online that are available to teach someone how to set it up if they’re dumb enough not to figure it out
Anyone can do this is they have enough money 😂
@@MrKrustenHow? It’s a factual statement, their camera set up is thousands of dollars.
I always find myself coming back to this channel. Your videos are entertaining and educational, BHS.
Just found this channel today with the accident vid. So glad you're ok. But watching what you guys do is fantastic. Especially the slo-mos. Subscribed
That's was absolutely amazing. I love how if you watch closely at 60,000 fps the skull doesn't move until the rest of the dummy is already liquefied. Beautiful work fellas and I greatly appreciate the content.
Happy that adam has made a quick and complete recovery, also im glad things didn't go as bad as it could have. Thanks for the effort you guys put into all that you do.
He hasn’t made a complete recovery yet, he still has burns healing and last I heard about the nerve damage in the right side of his face it could be months or years before that heals, if it even does. He is making great progress, but it isn’t complete yet. Hopefully it will be a complete recovery and the TBI doesn’t have long lasting effects.
Yeah this video was taken before the accident I’d assume
@RCE yeah the accident happened on the last shot of the day
@@Grover91it always seems to be the ‘just one more’ doesn’t it
@billg1308 well it was also the last shot because he got fucking exploded
Brand new subscriber. How have i never heard of this channel?! You guys are beyond awesome! Just looked at your videos list. I got some catching up to do. 😮
Oh my god I didn't think this video would have those shots so impressive it exceeded my expectations.
This is what I wanted to see, a real RPG missle explosion footage next to random objects! Thanks for your hard work, and be safe out there while fulfilling these accomplishments.
PG-7L grenade not the 70s thing.
Glory to the Soviet/ Russian weapons.

"Tis but a scratch!" 7:39
That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life seriously guys well done that was freaking awesome!!!
🤯 Greatest footage of all time! That was incredible! Pink mist!
gah, that second shot was incredible. Could you imagine if movies actually did research before putting whatever nonesense they think happens in a movie vs reality which is WAAAAAAAAAY cooler. OMG that was one of the coolest shots ive ever seen.
If you mean the unexploded round, then there is a scene like that in Blackhawk Down when a soldier gets impaled by a dud RPG-7 grenade
@@piotrdabrowski3825 Sorry, the second one where it exploded. That was instantly realistic and I was just so surprised by how taken back I was.
@@piotrdabrowski3825 ever seen that photo of a marine with a live rocket in his leg?
its so ominous seeing Adam holding the RPG7 tube. love the work boys glad your recovering Adam and not joining the ballistic dummy's.
So I had not heard of this channel prior to the unsub podcast however now watching this video I am subed as well as going through your entire catalog of videos. Also glad Adam is with us the fact that you look the way you do after that incident well not to be weird but you have dethroned Kentucky for the most amazing accident lived through. Not a title you want but the one you have. Keep up the amazing work I look forward to more content and possible collaborations
Yep officially the coolest slow mo at the moment, congrats🎉🎉🎉
I’m glad yall are able to keep going after what happened. It’s a wonder it wasn’t even worse but seeing the recovery is a reassurance
This was all filmed before the accident I think. Same day, pre-incident.
@@Rosskles yea I’m pretty sure you are correct but they have a update video and he looks better than I would have ever thought possible
@@Thegoofyairgunnerhe's so damn lucky to be alive and not disfigured.
@@Thegoofyairgunner I just realised that after I commented. He does look a lot better than the last upload 👍😁

Just replying for my own future reference, don't mind me.
I see you commenting on tons of videos. I appreciate your attempt to revive the 327 Federal Magnum. It would be cool if it went mainstream and therefore became cheap
Damn. Ads are getting smarter these days. Ads disguised as comments - genius or pure evil? We'll never know...
@@mickyt6651 I don’t get paid any money by anybody or any organization! I wholeheartedly believe in 327 Federal Magnum as the Best Snub Nose Cartridge in the World!
You forgot to timestamp the multiple cuts to their face during the slow mo
I just want to thank you guys for restoring my fear of military explosives - after being totally underwhelmed by recent KZhead clips of frag grenades, explosive 50 cal rounds, even Sherman tank shell impacts, I was starting to wonder what the big deal was. That changed the moment this RPG exploded
I never knew how much I needed this video
This is quite possibly the greatest clip of anything ballistics related of all time. Definitely my #1. Glad to see you out there still pulling triggers with a smile Adam!
Except no complete, full, noninterrupted 60kfps.
This whole episode is just insane! From the “debris” flying over berm to that beautiful angle on the second shot! Not to mention the greatest part being we can enjoy this footage alongside Adam!
So glad your recovery is *Hopefully* getting better. You really scared all of us there fella
I’d not heard of your channel or the accident until six minutes before I started typing this. This content is excellent, and I’m glad that you’ve made an excellent recovery. We all love videos like this, but we don’t want people to be seriously injured or killed making them for us to enjoy.
For your next phase of investigative testing of military explosives, you should delve into the art and science of LAND MINES. Both anti-personnel and anti-vehicle types. We DO want to see the equivalent of an HMMWV encountering a big mine. Under safe conditions, nobody actually gets hurt.
Chill out kiddo, download the anarchist cookbook and "explore" for yourself...😂😂😂
@@ryshellso526 It's safer and more fun to watch videos of it being done in controlled conditions. I will not risk my freedom, life, and limb to make things go boom by myself.
@ryshellso526 blud in christ thinks hes edgy 😭 😭 😭
with a ballistic dummy inside
@@squidwardo7074 At least four, I'm thinking.
5:32 "What happened to this guy, he's still intact." *Turns him around.* Oh.
That was probably the coolest thing i have ever seen.Thanks guys. New fan right here
I gotta say this is the best clip I ever saw on KZhead bro that was EPPPPPPPPIIICCCC
This is the kind of channel I've been looking for. Putting some kind of science behind blowing stuff up, shootin' guns and all that which is interesting, but usually pretty smooth brain stuff. Beyond happy to see Adam doing well. You guys rock.
5:14 we can rebuild him, we have the technology
Dope that slow mo footage was amazing
This is like being Hit from behind and the RPG Detonating on the Back of your front Plate You Just Disappear. 💥 Great Work Guy's👏👏👏
Wow. Totally emulsified. Better than anyone expected. And best of all, Adam gets to enjoy it from a safer distance. Good to see you guys doing what you do best. Stay safe.
That debri at 7:56 was a paid actor 😂
Very very knowledgeable...Thanks a lot for taking this much afford... Highly respect you guys and your work...they are not just content...it’s science baby...wooo!!!
this has to be my favorite episode so far.
Strange to watch how much fun you obviously had recording this - and just a couple of minutes / hours later that horrible accident happened :( Glad that you'll be okay again. Keep up your great work!
What happened to him?
@@SerbijaSupreme Unfortunatly one of the RPG 7 Rockets missfired, exploding right on Adams shoulder. Luckily it was a non-explosive dummy grenade, so "only" the propellant exploded. But yeah, that's what happend.
@Seeente still crazy he got out relatively unscathed. One of the craziest videos I've ever seen. I understand that it was only the propellant with a dummy head, and they weld those reactivated RPGs at a very high standard with xray verification and they deliberately weld it weaker on the front facing side so in the event of a failure the blast will go away from you, but this man had his face on a grenade that went off and lived to tell the tale
@@SeeenteWhat happened when it misfired? Does the RPG just explode or?
@@alvinvalentino5797 there is an entire video on it where they show it in slow motion
Thanks for the information
Love this channel so hyped I found it!!
Just so you all know, they filmed this whole episode BEFORE Adams accident/malfunction/detonation. They were at no point negligent, complacent "possibly" by still eventually shoulder firing it, but as you can see they had no reason to believe a catastrophic failure was imminent. Also, it wasnt the Launchers failure, they suspect it was a chain detonation on the rocket fuses which is impossible to outwardly detect and no ones "fault" I dont know if this is covered in the video but im saying it here for all.
Yeah they got super stupid with it. Blocking a back blast cone while shoulder firing is a recipe for getting hurt. They should’ve known better. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. F around find out kinda stuff.
It's so awesome to see you guys get the support y'all deserve! I can't wait to see what this channel does in a year from now. Awesome video
Oh my! You guys are so amazing, we're all so happy to see everyone back out there "on the horse" and your slow motion footage is frigging ridiculous, just be ready for a call from DARPA or some 3 letter agency some day!!!😂
0:09 Average feeling of stubbing your toe:
2:02 FIRE IN THE HOLE 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

Love the vids guys, I’m glad he’s recovering well
I don’t know why, but your videos are way more cinematic than they need to be, it’s really cool.
This channel deserves more subscribers for spending their money.
sorta erie watching this knowing the overall outcome and what that rpg he is holding will do later. Super glad you recovered man!
I’ve been looking forward to the other videos you recorded! Also, so glad you’re healing well!
Amazing footage !!👏
It really makes the horror of war hit home! Peace and love to all our brothers and sisters around the world.

Really hope Adam recovers fully. Because you guys managed to get some of the gnarliest high-speed footage on all KZhead 😁
Grow a pair
@@Andre-hu4je what kinda loser comment is this?
@@Andre-hu4je, I am pretty sure he had an HE malfunction and explode right next to his face, causing brain trauma, internal bleeding, broken bones, and 3rd degree burns requiring skin graphs to fix
@@jacksonbender9055 where is showing that?
Before this video on their KZhead they talked about the malfunction with Adam and the rpg, recommend you look at it
Kinda spooky seeing this and knowing what happened not too long after. So thankful Adam is okay and recovering as quickly as he is. Love you guys and your content! Been a subscriber since the beginning, and I look forward to seeing what y'all do in the coming years!
Did the RPG explosion on his shoulders happen before or after this footage?
@@Gorgon0k after. If you watch their previous video, they explain that they filmed the one that exploded after they had already captured all the other rpg footage for this series
Realy good, thanks guys
That was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
5:37 must have been 9mm
Oh no, not the forrupt president fan.
4:50 “ok I don’t think you want to get hit by a rocket” holy fucking shit that was some serious foreshadowing lol
erm actually this video was made after the accident 🤓
Excellent video, you just earned a subscriber!!!
This was the ultimate slomo 👌👌👌
4:40 To answer that question It looks like a War Crime To many its just a Geneva Suggestion. Beside that bad joke. I am also amazed how quick Adam returned to making videos What a Chad.
The footage you guys get is just spectacular and horrific at the same time. Kudos and Happy New Year to everyone on the BHS team.
You guys have way too much fun!!!
Man, that was great
You should use the HEAT rounds for the RPG-7 against some thick steel or something similar to tank armor because that’s what it was designed for.
Is this even HEAT and not just HE? There is no jet at all. It should easily penetrate those cinder blocks.
That’s just HE, I’m asking where is the HEAT@@leocurious9919
Soldiers sometimes move on the armor of a tank
@@leocurious9919 these are murrica-made exploside ones, that RF does not use. There are thermobarics, then PG-7L modern HEAT. 500 mm RHAe.
@@cdgncgn Yes, but what they use in the video does not appear to be HEAT.
That was Gears of war levels of spatter. Quite impressive, and brilliant capture on the camera, boys. keep on trucking
Epic video keep it up guys!
I think this is the best explosion I've ever seen on the internet!!
8:07 holy crap, it’s just gone. There’s nothing left
2:24 Even with no boom you don't want to get hit with one in the face or you'll look like Adam. I'm glad you're good and recovering fast man, you got the content.
probably the gnarliest slow-mo i've ever seen
😮 freaking love the intro
I'm glad the shock on your faces actually came through to us watching, I honestly believe that was bigger than you expected 😂 well done, great video 👍
Oh boy this looks like it's gonna be a great video I sure do hope nothing bad happens!
