Yoooo it’s alecccc
love your videos alec
I think the 10x larger version they want is a bit too big for your shop, eh?
Excellent temper on that sword

THANX bro
The sword just falling into the sand on that first drop is probably the most satisfying thing I have ever seen on this channel
same! Something about it was absolutely perfect.
Every time it drops, it's like that "magic-sword-falling-from-the-heavens" trope in fantasy. It's glorious. I love it.
Name for the sword is easy: REXCALIBUR
This is the only real option
Beat me too it as well
THIS
DAMMIT I WAS GONNA SAY THAT
I was thinking Sir Chopsalot, but yours is WAY better
INCREASED ACCURACY ON DROPS TIP. Guys, if you want to increase the accuracy of the drops then you should change the release mechanism on your lifter. At the moment it's purely mechanical and you have to give it a tug, which of course, causes the falling object to sway. It would be much better to have a small electromagnetic lock. Just press the button, the current stops, the magnetic force disappears and each object falls. The only factor left then is the wind. Please like this comment so that the guys can see it.
That misses the point of the "sport". Perfect drops is easy.
Alec try doing a colab with them to make a sword that is ten times heavier lol
Damn your smarter than me
The trouble with EM release, though, is that it isn't failsafe. If the power gets cut off to the magnet while you're lifting, there isn't anything there to stop the object from falling. With the mechanical system, though, the safety pin holds the entire latch assembly together making it virtually impossible to release without the operator's say-so. Plus, I don't know of any electromagnets, outside of scrapyard excavators, that are powerful enough to hold a 100kg mass reliably.
@@willburton-edwards2882 I would definitely have the safety pin whilst lifting, anything else would be suicidal. I was only talking about the release. I've certainly worked with EM's the size of a car battery that easily take 100kg. Here's a fun video showing what can be done.

This video is two years old lmao
Now that is a Sword of Damocles if I've ever seen one.
“Arthur” ...for King Arthur and also that name would be funny to listen to hearing you all say it in your accents over and over.
Accents???? Aussies don't have accents!!!! Americans are the ones who talk funny.
Yo I said that first so don’t be getting all the shine
@@jaxonbridle375 he got more likes L
Arthur is a perfect name!
What accent we done have an accent
I mean... you HAVE to name the sword “Pierce” right? Lol!
omg yesh
Facts
Yes
solid choice.
Agreed read my name lol
The resistance of a giant stack of paper is astonishing honestly
Imagine if it was a stack of phone books
I feel like the blocks of wood gave the reems a lot of flex, and absorbed enough force to limit how many were stabbed.
"Toothpick of Doom" aka "Tod"
I appreciate the pun (if it was on purpose)
Not with that lack of accuracy its not 😂
YES
This is great, I was thinking something like "Steele's toothpick" or something like that haha

More sword stuff please!!!
I can't believe it's been 2 years since this went up. Still a great show 👌 you guys are awesome.
Were just watching old vids for memories 😂
“Tis but a scratch!"
"A scratch? Your arm's off!"
"No it isn't."
"Then what's that?"
I've had worse.
It's just a flesh wound
Monty python at its best 😂
Its but a flesh wound!
What are you going to do, bleed on me?
My son says “RexCaliber” for the sword!
Your name is way better than my name! Lol so much so that I went back and deleted my comment because I want to see it become Rexcaliber!
Truly genius!
awsome name
Great idea but Micah Santiago already suggested that name 11 hours before you. 😬🙄
Yooooo
"your arm's off!!"
"No it's not, it's just a flesh wound. Come on then."
(Bruce enters scene)
I think that it should be named "DAMPTEN".
King Arthur pulled the sword from the stone, so Arthur seems like a noble name for the sword
😐
That’s cold man. Just gonna steal the name I said and get more likes. I see how it is
I agree Arthur is the better name
I agree
Def Arthur
“Rexcalibur” - I really can’t see how it’d be anything else...
They should add a rexy head to the hilt
yes i like this name
That's either because you read the highest comment saying the same thing, or because there is literally no other sword name, and the fact that they boys didn't come up with it is shocking.. Luckily they have us (well... you, but us)
Your wit, good sir, is legendary!
Kris Adams TV - The latter in this instance.
The boards between the paper allowed the stack to flex, absorbing much of the energy. Possibly could have gone thru twice as much if they were stacked on top of each other.
Bruce Vs the mannequin is definitely one of your finest moments.
Someone a while ago suggested "Rexcalibur"
I can see that comment right above yours lol
Nice perfect
Commtest: If Rexcalibur isn"t the swords new name I'd be disappointed.
Hahaha rexcalibur that made me laugh
PIN THIS MAN !
I love the many moons ago part lol
man it shows how strong Alec is😂😂😂😂😂
Finally, the montanabrit sword REXCALIBUR is hia!

something about brucey smashing stuff just makes me laugh everytime bless up HR
Watching it drop the first time, ALttP title theme popped into mind

Eggbert. Old Germanic meaning “bright edge” such as a blade. Eggy for short 🤓
love for the whimsical nick name.
Yess!!!
This is the one
"Alexcaliber" Honor the creator and the greatest sword in all mythology.
^^^ this right here
Your forgetting the master sword mate 😂
This one goid
A most ALEXcellent suggestion.
Yes
I think it would be great to see just how many teams of paper a bullet would go through, compared with the giant sword. I agree that the sword would win
Brucie shot was EPIC!!! CRRUSSHED IT!!! More Sword STUFF!! ;D
Great build Alec!!
I cannot believe that Stanford came back in the Rock Off game. He was so far behind earlier this year that it seemed impossible for him to come back!
Francis? Has Gaunson run out of name ideas? Francis was the name of the car they destroyed with the giant stump!

@@AxxLAfriku you haveith the face only a mother could loveith, not a single peasant in a kingdom could careith about one’s self proclaimedith looks.
Should’ve done sir slice or mr mush maker something of that sort.
Only name for him is “Pierce”, be real guys
Yes. Absolutely.
Agreed.
My god you're right.
Maybe because its a medieval type sword: "Sir Piercon"
Rex-caliber is a perfect name
3:33 how little sand is disturbed when it goes into the ground is a testament to how well it was constructed. Like an Olympic diver barely making a splash.
I ❤the butt cheek jocke
I laughed through the whole thing. You guys are a riot! I’d love to go out there and drop shit with you guys. Nothing more down to earth than that right!
You guys should get Rexy a girlfriend, literally just Rexy with a pink bow and maybe some pink lipstick, name her Roxy
Yessss, perfect
@@RamesGamesLC I just want to see Rexy with a bow and lipstick lol
Thats hilariously adorable
I remember some guy saying it would have to be called Rexcalibur, couldn’t agree more
If it’s not rexcalibur I’ll be very disappointed
The fist through the dummy was so good haha
More sword stuff!!
"Damocles".
The best name for a gigantic sword suspended over everyone's heads.
Just call him Phillip for sure, he definitely looks like a Phillip
This comment is going to blow up I’m a couple😭
Yeah definitely
Yep it did
King Phillip
Phillip for sure
Its like science experiments but you dont worry about the science part and skip straight to the experiment. I love it.
It's a old video, but can't hurt to try, my 8 year old daughter and I love you guys and she said she wanted so bad to color some of those cut papers and send them back to you, anyway we love ya guys! Thanks for the smiles!
I think “Wallace” is a good name. Like William Wallace who had a giant sword like Wallace :)
William Wallace Scottish rebel

“They May take our lives, but they’ll never take OUR FREEDOM!”

Or Macbeth just because I loved the book.
Name it steelee. A good nod to Alex.
I hate to be that guy but:alec
Name it steelo
And you should drop it on some really thick bullet proof glass
@@trippie9312 wassup bro?
Wouldn’t that be “iron”ical 😂?
I think there was a weapon concept, where rods of tungsten would be dropped from space.
The energy they would accumulate while dropping would theorically be enough to bust a bunker
Watched Steele when he was on the dirt floor in the UK . Then he moved to my home state of Montana. Sweet to see him on everything lol
To improve sword accuracy try twisting the string before release so it’ll spin on the way down, works for a bullet!
yeah maybe feathers to the top of the handle or something too, create a bit of drag
For bullets they spin hundreds of times per second, largely for a gyroscopic effect. They would need special equipment to even attempt to achieve any measurable gyroscopic effect in the sword.
@@ryanmarshall7994 gyroscopic effect is the tendency to maintain steady spin state along an axis of rotation. Bullets don't spin FOR gyroscopic effect - their spin IS a gyroscopic effect which increases their range and accuracy. I think a simple spin of the string in this case would likely cause some level of gyroscopic effect on the sword. But I'm not a physicist lol.
@@Eric-469 I said it a bit awkwardly but I meant that bullets are spun for that reason. The angular momentum resisting a change in direction of rotation keeping them pointed in that direction. Having a small radius and not getting a high speed of spin means a pretty small angular momentum but unlike a bullet has a lot more force acting on it. It won't make a difference unless being stupid fast.
Your genius scares me but also interests me
Giant sword with a casual name?
Gotta be Arthur.
Yes
I instantly said that too
I thought the same thing hahaha 🤣
That was incredibly awesome. (Of course this is my first time seeing this one as I only started watching your videos last year)
I definitely have a lot of catching up to do!
God Bless all of you! Thanks for all the great and hilarious entertainment!
I started watching this year(2024)
They are simply fun to watch
It's gotta be Arthur. As in King Arthur who pulled the sword from the stone.
Yes
I was about to say the same thing.
Very good, but in keeping with HR style perhaps Artie for short?
“Rexcalibur” I didn’t come up with this name but I like it...
@@2010SLP no doubtith about it!
I agree.
That’s a winner! 🎸
Lol guess we think alike
How about a mace or a morning star? The fins of the mace/ morning star can stabilize it during flight; thus increasing accuracy and the bludgeoning damage; it be a sight to see.
5:22 I love how Rexy looks like he's going 'YESSS WATERMELON!!!!" here xD
15:35
No need to thank me
I won’t, but I will give u a like
The hero we don't deserve
Us true fans come for the whole video not the part in the title
@@dylantheviolinist3311 riiiiiiight. 🙄
If you guys ever end up looking for an even bigger sword or something, you should call up MichaelCthulhu about a colab.
He makes ridiculous weapons from games and such out of industrial grade hardox steel which is close to the same hardness as AR 500 steel they use for body armour.
We're talking flippin big swords from Final Fantasy and Berserk to name just two, he's made swords as heavy as 50 lbs and axes upwards of 80 to 90 lbs!
His whole thing is dropping big heavy things on other things, just with his hands rather than a tower, so I feel you'd have that in common.
Personally, I think it'd be cool if you got him to make a really thick Captain America shield or something to drop stuff on, maybe a Hulk and or Thor vs Cap video even?
I'm sure if you wanted something heavier than that he'd find a way, he mostly doesn't because that's about as much as a person can lift and drop without hurting themselves.
#Michaelcthulhu was my first thought as well.
YESSS make that happen
Ok 👍🏻
That was awesome, it seems like the pieces of wood allowed the paper to flex quite a bit. Could you do it again with out the them?
These guys are a fav channel of mine. As is Alec Steel. Can't believe I haven't come across this video b4.
Not going to lie... Brucie vs. mannequin may have been the most satisfying thing I've seen on the internet.... EVER!
Alec: makes biggest sword of his life
HR(Aussies): Yeah na mate can ya make it 10 times bigga?
they will have to ask michealcthulhu for that then xD
... The
Obligatory: that's not a knife...
To improve consistency, a bit of spin, and adding some drag to the tail makes your job easier
more sword stuff please, and let Alec and Will Stelter build it
"If that's not the biggest 'Pound it Noggin' I've ever seen." How Ridiculous Dude Perfect colab (13:40)
You should call it Dundee because that's a bloody big knife.
Thats not a knife....this is a knife lol
I SUPPORT THIS SO HARD.
It's been 2 years since we've seen some giant sword action. Not that I'm complaining *too* much but I'd love to see this thing stab some other things again
Did anyone else notice how dramatic Rexy face looked as the sword cut into the fruit on that slow moe. Haha
Call the sword Mick Dundee. From the famous scene where he says, “That’s not a knife”
THIS is a knife!
@@Skorpio420 Exactly what I was thinking.
Best idea ever
This!!!!
pretty sure australians hate Paul Hogan, he turned out to be quite the twat
“Alec” is the sword name honor the gentleman that made it why don’t ya
That's a good name
They don't even like the sword, they're already asking for a new one thats heavier. Ppfff😂
Honestly, that’s kinda rude of them to ask for a new one the first time they use it. Alec literally gave them what they asked for.
@@elichristensen8066 yes it was rude but they also didn't give him any direction on what they exactly wanted. So its partly their fault. Plus that's what happens when you ask a dumb kid to build you something. They should have asked a real manufacturer to build it, not a sniveling, hyperventilating, ADD kid, who cares more about subs and likes vs quality and specs.
@@411Adidas you have some serious problems
I feel like adding the blocks of wood made the paper act as a sort of suspension absorbing some of the impact by bending the packs of paper on the way down
If you had no space between the paper I believe it would have gone through more. In the slowey you can see the void absorbed a lot of momentum. The impact force went down way lower than 5 packs.
My vote is for Arthur. That's clearly related to Excalibur.
Easily the best answer.
Exactly what I was thinking
Arthur fits so damn well😍😍
This gets my vote.
You know it’s gonna be Rexcalibre.
(Not my original idea)
“I know this is annoying but I want to say I hope you all stay safe from rona and a like or view on my new video would make my day❤️🤍🖤”
czcams.com/video/XBHFWetWZ-0/video.html
Tis a trueith statement!
It gives me a lot of strength to point out the shortcomings of the new video. czcams.com/video/fv6GnEzG41w/video.html
Shout-out to rexy. He's the real MVP
There really shouldn't be spaces in the paper to get a true gauge of how much paper it could get through. That's the whole point behind the "how many sheets of paper can something get through" idea because it's tougher the thicker it is, but with spaces it's strength is reduced. I would've also suggested to sharpen the sword since that's almost just dropping a blunt piece of metal on it and hoping it goes through with velocity alone but if it had a sharpened edge it would be cutting the paper instead of trying to just push through it. It was a cool video overall still though for sure.
I though the same thing. The gaps gave bounce to the stack which dissipated the energy. You can really see it in the snowy.
The sword should be named Rexcalibur
Agreed
HR crew.. “we need a bigger sword”..
Alec steel..”I build a crane to make a ten foot sword they can’t pickup, and they want a bigger sword”
Whoever made this sword was definitely a Giant Dwarf who forged it in the heart of a star.
Was anyone else at 6:30 waiting to see if the spinning camera would fall?
HR: I don’t think a bullet would go through 2000 papers
Demo ranch: Hold my 50 BMG
Iol yup
He's shot paper with the 50 before don't remember how much it went through
His 50 BMG went through 3000 sheets
A 50BMG is no fucking joke😳
here comes the tank...
I know people are already saying it but it's obvious it should be "rexcalibur"
Tis a trueith statement!
Alexcalibur
Rexcaliber
Bro someone stole your comment and got more likes, they’re probably gonna getbpinned

The beginning of the video is such a dad moment
Giant sword vs Giant shield.
Also, we need to see good old Brucey vs a Car.
and stick the sword thru it a few times before total annihilation
Giant shield vs giant sword 🙌🏼
How about the fact they dropped it 15+? Times.... And the blade did not snap or bend, that’s an Amazing sword build by Alex.
It's Alec, not alex
@@hiddeemmen that doesn't matter, that fact of how good the craftsmanship is what matters
@@bncollinsmn Of course, that's why I'm correcting him. This will increase the amount of people who know his name and maybe the amount of people who find his channel.
Its not really a "sword", but a sword shaped object for messing around. Real greatswords (almost as long) are much lighter, with a much thinner blade, in the range of maybe 5 KG.
"I have The Power" HeMan quote.
That thing is mental, an object worthy of the boys antics, awesome creator collab video! Internet providing the goods
Aragorn’s sword was called Anduril, so the name should be “Andy” for short.
Oooooo, I like this
YES this one
Have you guys considered spinning the sword as you’re dropping it? A spiraling object will normally fly straighter than one that isn’t.
My expectation is that it would need to spin way faster than reasonable. Field artillery shells of a similar mass spin at ~250 rpm for stability, according to Google.
“Spin-Stabilization” ...it’s a thing.
👍🏽‼️
If it spins it wont sink as far in right? Cuz the rotation will cause more friction with whatever surface it is pushing through, slowing it down. Just like how a pencil dive into a pool sinks you deeper than if you do a pencil dive while spinning. So it may make it more accurate but less damaging :)
In one video when Jack was dropping the mega giant dart he spun it & got good results. I don't remember seeing the other 3 do it.
@@celticwolff5429 note that they were round not flat
Guy shot a 9mm at 1000 packaged sheets of paper it went through the first 500 and didn't enter into the second packaged 500 sheets so kinda awesome the sword really dose out do bullets on going through paper
That's not a fair comparison.
That sword is massive, so for a fair comparison you need at least a .308.
I wonder what the results would have been like if the sharpened and polished the edges/tip before they dropped it in the paper
Commtest: A blade that big can only have one name. And that name is Pierce.
Yes!
You, my good sir, have won for sure
Checked to see if anyone else had come up with it, and you have.
