Ok
Done all
Welcome back
Typo on your end : |
@@MNSweet ya
You should totally make a little 3D printed deathstar for the tip of the laser
it would probably melt due to the high heat of the laser
As much as I love the idea it would be too hot
It would melt
3D Print it then make a mold out of it and cast it out of aluminum
@@hansvonolhausen3933 even with aluminium ，they will get over heat

People don't realize that bullets work by pressurizing the cartridge. The primer not only ignites the power, it puts the powder under pressure. Gunpowder gets its explosiveness only when ignited under high pressure.
Yeah, the way they did it you could probably put your hand in front of the shell and only have minor damage compared to it being loaded into a gun..
Actually most if not everyone knows that. Why I see people commenting on how a firearm works on a channel that is about experimenting is silly. He had showed the .308 round and basically explained that minus the chamber pressure but thanks for the armchair firearm lesson. Lib alert
Ignition of gun powder has something called reverse burn on the shooters hand ... So take CARE👍
I love your friendship/dynamic. Watching your channel feels like hanging out with the guys. Oh and I think it could be cheaper to just use Ian instead of foam heads
Thanks Matt! Good idea, but we wanted to use an undamaged head. ;)
@@leroysanchino ur mum
@@RyanKung вы как будто жертвы плохого образования..
Good to see you guys back, always fun to see you mess around and have fun.
hahaha this testing is so unnecesarily destructive to your equipement. Also be very careful if you're setting off rounds outside of a chamber: Shells won't build as much pressure but setting off a brass cased round outside a breech can be like a tiny grenade
I'd expect the result to be different depending upon where they aim the laser. At the end where there's nothing to contain the pressure is likely to give a different result than further in. But yeah, even just plastic can be dangerous if it turns to shrapnel.
Love your jabs at each other when looking at the foam head, keep up the great content!!!
Great stuff as always! Looking forward to what's next!
3:28 yeet
That was incredibly stupid... but fun to watch. I'm shocked that your laser print continued working after the first round!
0:49 i just love that little smoke mushroom
Questions: Does this already classify as a fully automatic firearm? I mean, you press the trigger, in this case the mouse or a button, and it discharges multiple rounds. And you live in CA 😂
There's no barrel or other pressure bearing device so I don't think it could be classified as a firearm. If there were barrels attached, it could, however be seen as a "trigger actuation device" (using a machine or other device to help pull a trigger for you, i.e. the Gat Crank), which could potentially be illegal in California and a few other states but not illegal federally speaking.
@@bananaboat1808 good to know, cheers
@@petertraurig5728 don't use that as advice.
@@DSiren i am going to use that as advice
@@zhankazest It's illegal federally speaking. I warned you.
Living near this warehouse must be such a pain lol
Something about the brass... the LASER you are using is a 10Knm wavelength... it will reflect. If you were using a 450nm blue laser at that power it would mark the metal... and at higher power would cut it. Usually for metal cutting they use a fiber laser with a short wavelength. Interesting, when I had a 10Knm IR laser I could cut plexiglass, when I used a 450nM blue laser, it passed through the plexiglass and burned with wood under it.
Good seeing you guys back! Haven't been here long but glad I subscribed!
Also seeing you guys have guns/ammo in Los angles/California makes me happy
Glad to see them back!
as usual : great video ! by the way, you're crazy guys (love it)
Bro it sounds like squid game if anyone catches my drift lol. 5:12
It appears in the brief shot of your control panel that the laser uses a Ruida controller. If you have it connected via wired network, you can get an app for your phone to remote operate your laser. I'm amazed that you'd fire rounds in the same direction that one would take to destroy a laser tube! Just crazy fun.
bro this is genuinely one of the stupidest but the best things i have ever seen i love it
You know its a great idea when you're muttering "this is sooo dumb" whilst running to the bathroom for cover
Nice Video, welcome back!
I was waiting for months for a new vid thanks for a amazing one
Our company has its own R&D department but it stands for Ryan and David 😂
When you're setting off unchambered rounds the casing becomes the projectile. So point it sideways or with the bullet torwards you.
sideways is best.
"with the bullet towards you" excuse me what?
@@ns6q333 Because the bullet won’t have enough force to break through your skin. The casing will definitely do damage but not those small ass rounds.
@@tropicalreservoir7798 i think i'll just stand behind a wall
That sounds so stupid yet so true
The actual reason why it didn't do that much damage to the head when the shotgun shell went off is because sense there is no barrel holding the shell it didn't have enough time to burn all the powder which makes it pretty weak that's also why in the line up of shotgun shells some black powder comes out the front because it didn't have time to burn it
Incorrect. The powder is burned - but the energy released is released without a barrel or other device compressing and containing it - so it just disperses.
I love the sign- its so brilliant and simple 😂
Nicely done my dudes
1:19 I feel like people would want to rewatch this so here it is.
What's that vid called
@@dAcKMYU idkk
Lmfao.... the whole slow mo 10 shell scene where you talk all spiritually n shit...... got my sub!
"ohhhhh that makes sense now" These are the words spoken in the pursuit of science and engineering
its so funny how they just giggle like kids its the best thing ever lol
Okay, I have to ask. Which of you had the Zoidberg laugh during the first shotgun shell demonstration? And then, cutting to Carl Sagan's profundity. *chef's kiss*
Wasn't gonna comment but that ending got me
Scale up version of two kids who just can’t help there excitement after igniting the fuse of a firecracker
Woo! Great to see you back again.
0:50 looks like a mushroom cloud
wasnt expecting a deep philosophy lesson about a laser firing a shotgun shell but okay
Wow its been like... A year? Glad to see more videos!
Always a treat
If you want gasoline to behave like a high explosive, you need to mix it with an oxidizer.
One way to do so is to spray it! (The gasoline goes in the spray bottle)
You might wanna check with your lawyer to see if this is legal. Im pretty sure this would be considered a machine gun under ATF regulations.
I thought this was ridiculous but then I actually went through the atf definitions. You know somethings messed up when a pice of wood and a laser might actually be considered a machine gun
Everything is a machine gun according to them
@@theGoblinStopper thats not true at all.... the lower reciever of an AR-15 is considered the firearm, and does not have a barrel or even a complete chamber for a round...
@@theGoblinStopper if i go to my local gun store and buy a stripped lower reciever, aka a piece of aluminum with holes drilled into it. i still have to get a background check for that according to the ATF as just that piece of aluminum is considered the firearm. The ATF redefines things all the time, give it time and the shockwave is gonna be considered an SBR, they are already going after arm braces they already approved for AR pistols.
I’d say this is more akin to disposal by fire. If this is a machine gun then throwing a bunch of shells into a fire is as well. As a prosecutor You could try and argue that but you’ll get laughed out of court
I love that sign!
An AI turret that lasers enemies shotgun shells through a gun making them explode sounds like an awesome idea now
Fun fact:a lot people after watching this will do it
The shotgun ammo didn’t do that much damage because their is no barrel to focus the fire power
^
Glad your back
Your cackling hen laugh is priceless
0:34 He's not wrong.
That gas probably costs more than the laser. 1:30
1:24 got my DYING lol
Nice history lesson bro learned a lot
I wonder whether this is covered by the warranty?
It was in fact NOT covered by the warranty.
Must satisfy the algorithm gods!
Alright the moment you drew parallels between shotgun shots and the universe, i subscribed LMFAOOO
2:16 that Nazaré meme is a classic meme used in Brasil LOL.
Just like everywhere in the world. Welcome to the Internet, friend!
@@konothesledgerscavenger9930 bruh
Pretty sure they technically made a machine gun / destructive device with the shotgun shells...
Girls Sleepovers: Giggles and Pillow Fights Boys Sleepovers:
literally my first idea to fixing the issue of the bullet being reflective was just painting over it or using a marker and its probably not that simple but if you use a strong enough laser it will probably penetrate about half way or something
I mean, sandpaper, steel wool... a knife... a key... anything to make the surface coarse and not reflective.
Your videos are super cool!💯 love from Netherlands✌
5:35 PAUSE THE VIDEO YOU CAN SEE THE WADDING FLY!!
I'd suggest, before you test another bullet, get a ballistic shield and body armor for extra safety.
ummm i dont think a shield would hold up against a 50 cal
@@randomtwwplayer1000 Those look more like 5.56x45mm NATO.
@@dovpool4903 true
The laser: BYE WADDING The wadding: YEET
In order to get more damage, there needs to be enough pressure. Pressure that can be built in a chamber and barrel.
You would rather give me the money you are wasting here so that I can buy at least a very small house! At least you'd be helping someone... because it's a waste of tools and resources for clicks!
Laser: damages GASOLINE Also laser OH NO!! Anyway, over here is neat
Bro as soon as you starting in with the “Hundreds of bbs each there own planet.” Rolling
I didn't know laser was an actual thingy until this video ;-; Thanks!
6:14 a cat photo 🤣
GradeA last month and now these guys are back!
Wow, it's been a whole year since your last video. Welcome back!
I liked the pale blue dot segment 😁
“Now my eyes look like your eyes” 😂 why didn’t I find this channel earlier it’s funny asf.
4:04 **WITH CAPTIONS ON** music???!?!!?!😂🤣
Brilliant. Utter brilliance
Bro im just impressed that the laser cutter isnt damaged yet
Him: because I'm dumb Also him: *Explains Life*
hahhahaha fr
I really liked the Carl Sagan reference at the end
The return of the legends
awsome guys - keep it up
The reason that the bbs in the shells don't do shit is because the pressure in the shell once set off is escaping by expanding the shell and as soon as it leaves the shell flies widely about. You need a barrel or a tube to contain the shell so that the shell does not just explode out and somewhere to direct the pressure so that the pressure can build.
They keep that. If they did like you say, there would be extensive damage
How come the KZhead algorithm hasn’t blown this up yet is the biggest question of all.
triumphant return indeed
They will be finding those little metal balls for years to come.
The reflection is a true shout as we need to cut our bright polished stainless upside down on our fibre lazer

Great video as always
You guys are sooo awesome!
That ending was so deep now I’m gunna lay in bed for the next few hours and dwell on that shit

Where is this speech from if i may ask?
1:49 casusally cutting things with a laser.. "so next up is a bullet."
5:11 they are really enjoying themselves
Eclectic engineering is back
0:55 was a cool mushroom cloud
2:58 - 3:00 never ever do that again (beat or give static electricity) can explode, never know when it might happen (for the first time, or ... 1:milj...). it is always worth waiting until everything cools down, as they are unstable when hot and can react / explode with a small movement. Always visually inspect yourself. whether you are injured yourself (the person does not always feel pain when they are injured)

Your videos are freaking awesome, you got my subscription :-)
"It blew the lid open" Yeah, that's.... that's how shotgun shells work
