Thanks again to Scott for another great collab. We’re already eyeing up that new 4 bore!
You guys are Legends. :-)
this is the best channel for you guys to Collab with! Keep it coming!
i really wanna see gavie boy shoot the 4 bore
The moment I saw the 4 bore, I was hoping you guys would get some ultra slow mo footage of that thing destroying a zombie torso.
was just about to ask for that!
It was great having you all out! Those shots were absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to do it again!
4 bore?
Cheese ain’t supposed to sound like that
Great Collab! Stick a thumb in it!
Next time bring some tortilla chips and salsa. See how good a coating you can get with the nacho cheese.
4 bore!!!! Into a bigger block of jell.
I love that Dan’s impulse before doing something difficult is to take his shirt off.
If movies have taught me anything, it's that taking your shirt off before a difficult task increases your power by at least a factor of 1.5!
If movies have taught me anything, it's that taking your shirt off before a difficult task increases your power by at least a factor of 1.5!
I thought the same thing, Destin!
Destin, your excitement when things like the flash of the bullet happen, is all I can hear. Your involvement is all this video is missing! So much fun finding and learning new things!
Big Randy energy
Uttering the phrase "Before you hand me that gun, I want to take my shirt off" instantly earned you American citizenship.
1:21 I love how he just nonchalantly catches the case without trying.
This needs more upvotes, that moment was cool af for how low key it was
You should watch his channel, he does it a lot lol
I'm not trying to be mean but it wasn't that crazy if you shoot regularly this is a pretty common ability
@@gunsandmachinesenthusiastwe got the fun police on us
@theknightikins9397 ok you giant meat purse, I couldn't have been nicer about it 🤣 cry some more
Absolutely beautiful.
Imagine how hard it would be to model this with Computational Fluid Dynamics. Stuff like this happens every day and it’s beyond any computational power that exists. Really fun to think about.
I love Gavin’s description of the “opposite square”. Perfect way to describe it.
True.
@@smartereveryday Now you’ve got me thinking, and it’s so mind boggling to think that something as simple as shooting ballistics gel would be impossibly hard to fabricate in other ways!
@@smartereveryday In a way it reminds me of the complexity of weather prediction models. Soooooo many factors, soooo many variables. Maybe AI will be able to start to make a dent in the modeling.
Though even a tech enthusiast like me is somewhat uncomfortable with AI’s potential for generating even more societal chaos.
Great to see you here, Destin! Quality recognizes quality 💯
They all carry that same energy and humor.
Thumbs up
@@nhrabby7214just put a thumb in it
Because they all share the same passion
And proneness to injury.
@@narcodiumHunting elephants?
Kentucky is such a wholesome and fun dude and it’s hilarious to see the three of them together. They’re all such great personalities but both groups juxtapose the others significantly. Like “here we see three perfect representatives of their respective homelands” and it works well.
What, the arms master, the videographer, and the test subject? Lol /s
why was my first though when reading that "and here are the Three Stooges"???
One of the few older CZcams channels whose quality and enthusiasm had never dipped in 13 years 👍
How many genuine WOW moments can you have inside 20 minutes? Thanks guys that was exceptional viewing
How many? All of them lol
Seriously. Jaw on the floor the whole time.
You said it the best!
Beat me to the punch, these are my thoughts exactly!
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
12:30 i love the thin sound line you can see going forward if you look at the trees
That Tyranosaur looked absolutely brutal. Like that ripple through the muscles was absolutely disgusting!! Just the sheer amount of force that rippled through him was incredible!! Loved the video and loved the collaboration with KB!! Way to tank that beast!!!!
Imagine catching one 😬
@@CorePathway I can see it now. Just a massive red spot on the wall…
These Kentucky Balistics collabs are genuinely some of the best videos I've seen this year.
That and every time he collabs he eats the guests after the video and gains mass and power looking bigger
100% agree. 🎉 these Kentucky ballistics videos are S tier.
This comment won’t count for much on January 1 of any year.
@@gcm747lmao
Dan's decision to fire the rifle with his shirt off is master level stuff. Brilliant.
Dan is an expert slow mo guinea pig.
@@ireallyreallyhategoogle wheek wheek :3
It would have been interesting to see Scott do it too as a comparison, since he's practically a body builder. It might be a modesty thing for him, though. Even when he was showing off his chest-opening scar, he only pulled his neck down a little
@@ireallyreallyhategoogle Imagine putting that on a resume.
@@birdyfeederz7940 Yea, Scott doesn't like to show himself off much. Which is fair.
Scott, your muzzle discipline is phenomenal, even when trying to dodge high-velocity cheese. Thanks for setting a good example.
Stop with that nonsense.. you act like nobody knows anything about muzzle discipline and everyone does it wrong..
ppl need to stop acting like there’s an award for doing what should be done..!!
@@speedlimit6869Hey, let that guy give award to whoever they want. Don't be mad it wasn't you.
@@speedlimit6869 I compliment people when I see them do good things. I respect your opinion, but I will nonetheless continue to spread a little positivity here and there.
If I've learned nothing else, it's that someone ALWAYS needs the reminder. Good on ya, mate. @@trevorborth1141
@@speedlimit6869Hey, have you actually seen how most people handle weapons? Muzzle and Trigger Discipline requires constant mindfulness. Believe it or not, that's something most people can't do. Only people properly educated that handle weapons frequently can really do it the way you're supposed to. And that unfortunately means that most people who own firearms don't actually have good muzzle and trigger discipline. Hell, most gun owners don't even engage their safety when they're supposed to.
I know that the ideal standard is that muzzle and trigger discipline is supposed to be a no-brainer, tantamount to breathing for a gun owner. But the reality is different. So, complimenting him on demonstrating good fundamentals isn't a waste of time. Even if it feels like it should be.
Those compression detonations.. The energy given visual form.. Seeing what's actually mind bendingly happening inside those microseconds. Wow. Just... Wow.
This is by far my favorite episode so far!
9:11 my jaw literally on the floor. This episode was awesome!
Dude literally everyone watches these 😂
The multi coloured flame tornado in 4k is minez I recommend. This was amazing though
I have to agree. The billiard destruction was one of the tops for me before this. That cavitation and explosions were another world amazing.
Those tiny cavitation explosions in the ballistic gel for the second shot was _CRAZY._
The second bullet in the gel moved back, because those cavitations are creating a vacuum. The force moves the gel out, and it happens so fast air does not have a chance to rush in, so the vacuum causes it to collapse.
@@alphagt62 It's more so the cohesive forces of the material pulling back on itself. A vacuum means there's nothing there, which means there's nothing to create a force. So, the material fills the space by relaxing back into shape since it hasn't permanently deformed yet.
@@zecuse have you seen the video where they shoot a gun underwater? It definitely pulls a vacuum. When the bullet travels down through the water we see big cavitations, and they collapse, and no bubbles rise to the surface. The cavities just slam shut, there was no air in those cavities.
@@alphagt62 I'm well aware of that. The cavitation in that case can also be attributed to the cohesive forces of water. A vacuum doesn't produce any forces because definitionally, there's nothing there! Instead, other forces from the objects will be able to react.
Fancy seeing you here!
So used to seeing you in Toms comment section usually :D
This is the most interesting and entertaining ballistics gel video i've ever seen.
This has been quite literally amazing.
This has to be the best ballistics gel videography so far in history... Well done!
Dan, in 95% videos: a total goof
Dan, in explosive and gun videos: dangerously competent

I love Scott catching the casing as he ejects it from the weapon in the background at 1:21. They probably don't realize it but that whole frame was flawlessly composed. Something so elegant about it that I just can't articulate.
You think they don't realise it.
its satisying to grab a casing mid-air
Notice he's also not wearing safety glasses
@@CatBot007 Its not a over pressured .50 cal, so maybe he feels safe without them?
@@CatBot007With these rounds if something catastrophic happens a pair of safety glasses aren't going to do much except become plastic shrapnel.
This is probably the coolest collaboration of all time, that was absolutely mind blowing an amazing! I love it. Thank you.
I truly hope y’all do another collaboration. You three together works so well. Genuinely one of the best videos I’ve seen all year, wow
8:30 I think what you are seeing is triboluminescence. This is a phenomenon that occurs when light is produced as a result of mechanical action such as pulling apart, ripping, scratching, crushing, or rubbing materials. Interestingly enough, SmarterEveryDay also noticed this effect when shooting Prince Rupert's drops with a gun (go to 1:34 on "AK-47 vs Prince Rupert's Drop (at 223,000 FPS) - Smarter Every Day 170")
It is also in some Mantis Shrimp footage:) I am think it is the plasma state for a tiny moment because of physics right?
@@mattdrahos2662please someone smart help us, we wanna know🥺
I ran straight here to get any answers
As in, the energy release is intense enough to generate light? Dayum. I wonder if at least part of that's because of friction causing a short-lived ignition.
I mean it _could_ be plasma for all I know, but then what would be ionizing the gases?
@@mattdrahos2662 Triboluminescence isn't fully understood but it's absolutely not because anything is turning into a plasma.
“I’m excited” “I’m scared” 😂
I read this as soon as they said it. Made it 10x better.
@@danielkelsosmith lol
Guys this is one of your best videos.
Not that any have been bad, all are good, you are letting the world see what happens in front of our eyes and we do not see.
Thanks to you two and Scott.
This has to be the best celebration videos yet!!
Many Thank's to all involved.
This video is amazing! The footage is unexplainably beautiful!
You guys formed a nice team!
I really like how seamlessly Scott fits in with Dan and Gav, and just as a guest. They all carry that same energy and humor.
He was awesome!!
This comment has 577 likes right now........577 Tyrannosaur.......I can't bring myself to hit the like button and change that!
The absolute size difference in between Scott and Dan makes me realize how Scott can shoot the types of guns he can
Seeing him next to Eddie hall was eye opening, te guy is like 260
I wonder how much time Scott spends working out.
The flash of light in a single frame is really awesome. Lightspeed 😮.
Absolutely phenomenal! Amazing! Thank you!
Daily reminder that Dan is unironically secretly a proper military trained badass
"secretly"
Openly discloses and uses his military training in one of the most popular CZcams channels ever
What branch/service was he part of? Just curious
@@Tyler-vw9bh I believe he was a weapons and explosions expert in the army, although I may be wrong
Monthly
@@BlueZirnitra well this is only the 4th one of these vids ive ever watched so i didnt know that and was happy to learn hes properly trained.
Scott just casually catching the shell at 1:19 was amazing
Was looking for this comment right here
took 18 takes lol
Ik right
The energy on impact that transfers thru the targets and into the tables is amazing. On one test,the soft point,the energy distorted the table downward by what looked to be 8 to 10 inches before flexing back. Awesome !!
This has to be some of the coolest footage I’ve ever seen
I think people forget that Dan is like a literal expert. He handled that all very well
It seems that Scott and Dan have great respect for each other. I am sure they had chatted heaps off camera.
The default assumption for Americans meeting Brits is that they'll be the tea sipping dainty kind. Once you tell us you were in the military though we fully understand that you're the other kind of Brit, the cuppa having, world conquering kind.
Dan was in the RLC, I doubt he's fired much more than an L85 a few times on the range prior to YT. Plus he was snatching the trigger, even we don't do that.
@@MainerZ i thought he was eod?
@@suirall EOD falls under the RLC.
That gel block expanding from the second shot is certainly one of the most incredible slomo footage from this channel, absolutely crazy
Dan actually handled those rifles very well IMO. Good job mate! Great collab!!
Absolutely the best footage I've seen. Well done!
Scott's recovery has been mindblowing, so glad to see him doing well.
What happened to him?
.50 cal blew up in his face, almost killed him. look it up.@@jackfinnie6603
@@jackfinnie6603 his gun blew up
@@jackfinnie6603 He shot a rare round only found on the aftermarket, unfortunately it had been reloaded far too hot by the seller and blew his gun up like a grenade, he got shrapnel into his face but luckily his glasses saved his eyes.
The major injury however was part of the gun penetrating his throat and lodging itself inside his chest behind his ribs, puncturing a lung, he had to shove his thumb into his neck to not bleed to death and luckily had his father on set to drive him to the hospital.
He had to have his chest opened up to get the fragments inside it taken out and then spent a long time recovering as he could not lift heavy things due to his chest recently being split open, but luckily as evident, has now made a full recovery.
@@jackfinnie6603 You can see his 2 year old scar from his neck being ripped apart at like 7:30
That flash of light at 8:29 is absolutely amazing. It looks like a flashlight, and it goes through both blocks. For only 1/82,000th of a second. I've never seen that before.
It's probably sonoluminescence.
That flash is fascinating, I don't immediately see how electrons can go to a higher energy level, and release light when they return to a lower level, as a result of a gunshot. Perhaps a newly discovered Kentucky effect ...
@@Scapeonomics It could be
@@ScapeonomicsThat’s what I thought too
My hypothesis: Trace accelerant on the bullet that achieved secondary ignition as a result of compressed air between the bullet and the gel. Happens again in the gap between the two gel block, but smaller, so less trace accelerant to ignite or lowered bullet velocity resulting in less compressive heat generated?
Or sonoluminescence like @Scapeonomics suggested. 😅
I am glad to see two of my favorite CZcams channels working together.❤
The wood on that Tyrannosaurus rifle is gorgeous. It's worth getting hammered by it to have such a beautiful piece of art. I agree on large caliber weapons - my favorite rifle, by far, is a .458 Magnum I had built for me many decades ago.
I know it's kind of funny seeing Dan's bod responding to the recoil, but I was actually really fascinated by the anatomical action there. You can see how his muscles reduce the shock and spread it across his back to prevent it from moving his shoulder and arm. Fascinating!
Really showcases how the musculature works as not just motors but also anchors. And the skin rippling almost like a fluid when propelled by so much force, too. It's so cool to watch.
Plus, Dan is a big dude, and on the more powerful shots, you see his entire body move in kind of a sling shot fashion from just the power of the shot. Truly would be fascinating to see more in depth
@@jasondamrau9943 then you see Scott next to him almost twice as wide
@WayStedYou lol yeah that dude was massive
@@jasondamrau9943
Sooo... watch you want to watch recoil propogate through a guy in a speedo? That would be cool, honestly.
I really don't think it's hyperbole that this is the best ballistics gel footage I've seen.
It’s either this or garand thumb shooting a ballistic gel torso with a artillery round
hands down this is wild. I have seen every video they have made on this channel and I am in awe of what I just saw
Why would you say that with hyperbole?
@@Nekotaku_TV Well sometimes people say something is the "best ever" when it's not really the best ever; it's hyperbole to say something exaggerated like that.
@@R2Bl3nd That's dumb. But I don't think people would in this case because it's a rare thing and stands out.
This is one of the most Amazing slow motion videos I’ve ever seen!!! The actual physics of what is happening during impact never accrued to me!!! And the point of impact the energy actually made a glow or light. Absolutely Fantastic Video, looking forward to future videos. 💪
@5:42 I love that you can see the pressure wave/shock wave of the blast
So glad to see you guys working with Scott! If you ever wanna fly to AZ and film tannerite in slow motion, lemme know!
I’d love to see that!
You will always be the singing voice of Alastor to everyone, also it's cool seeing someone that inspired me to sing more and be confident in my voice enjoy gun videos in slowmo
That will be so cool to see
Slow mo voice overs lets goo
This is easily my favorite collaboration on CZcams
You know, for years I've imagined and always wanted a collab between SlowMoGuys and DemolitionRanch. Luckily, Scott just so happens to have even crazier guns than Matt.
yup loving these....
I want to see SMG team up with Garand Thumb.... they can head back to the Tank Range... cause the howitzer vs Human Torso NEEDS their hi speed.
I've been wishing for this for so long!
Highly HIGHLY recommend ballistic high speed, they have videos with much better cameras and even detonate grenades and claymores at 250,000 frames per second. Amazing channel.
Agreed!
watching these guys have fun with a youtuber ive been following for a long time is a crossover i didnt know i needed, but im glad i have.
I really like this guy. Gruff,honest and open. The video capture is awesome.
The invention and intended use of those hollow points are horrifying.
you can finally appreciate the sheer size of scott standing next to two normal sized people
I read this comment when it had exactly 💯 likes 👍🏻
my thoughts exactly 😆
Same
Look how far back he is in the shot at 14:24 to try to make him look smaller than he is
you can finally appreciate the sheer size of Gav's nose standing next to Scott 😛
Scott is an absolute legend and seems like such a good mate to have! I’ll never get over how cool it is that cavitation bubbles flash like that. Truly fascinating!
It's from the air being super compressed as the gel shrinks back, or that's the explanation I've heard.
@comfortablynumb9342 it's actually from the sound energy converting to light energy - 'sonoluminescence. I wrote a comment explaining it 😊
Absolutely an amazing video. I would love to see more collaborations where you are comparing different bullets and muzzle velocities
These collabs are the best! I couldn't stop laughing and the footage was incredible
Guys, I think that this video shows one of the best slow-mo footages the world has ever seen! 👌🏼 The movement of the ballistic gel was absolutely insane, which makes this video so cool to watch. Thanks so much to the three of you! 👏🏼🤩
1000% agree!
💯
Yeah that “Kentucky Flash” was insane, never would have predicted that
And when it happened on the 2nd block the flash cause 2 weird lil shock waves on both blocks where they meet at the top, I wonder why
Yup, that Slow motion footage is spectacular.
I love how the mic is hooked onto Dan's chest hair. Very creative.
That made me laugh to see lol

@@WayStedYouit feels like there's a Chuck Norris joke waiting to be made here
So awesome. Seen a lot of ballistic gel videos. This is the best
my favorite collab ever man these vids are amazing
That first shot into the ballistic gel generating so much heat from the friction of the impact that it lit up the inside is absolutely insane
Possibly triboelectric effect?
@@chrisschierer5672 kentucky effect!!
Bullets are ingrained with the light of god
I think that could be the air trapped between the bullet and the gel being compressed to a plasma just like in spaceships on re-entry
@@janiwirman definitely possible! It's feasible that the bullet is moving too fast for the air to displace enough to not create immense pressure between the head of the bullet and the gel
I am so glad the slow mo guys are back and better than ever.
Were they gone ? 🤔
They were never gone?
back on the channel for a collab you stupid replies.
dont call it a comeback, they been here for years
@@mysticmarble94 Dan was away for years during the pandemic, Gav wasnt posting that much.

Probably best slomo video I’ve seen from these guys in the past 5 years. The ballistic gel explosion was mind blowing.

That flash when the projectile struck was wild!
The gel turned into the alien from the Abyss.

Definitely one of the coolest videos I've ever seen! Keep it up!
By far, the coolest collaboration...this was awesome.
"Looks like someone kicked a chicken."
These analogies are wild. Between this and "you look like some sort of weird genie" (from one of them balloon episodes), I'd say Gav is the master of analogies.
These two channels collaborating is just a match made in heaven.
MIND BLOWN!! THAT IS AMAZING
That was very cool and great to see the slo-mo guys on a crossover with you cheers keep it up one of your best videos by far!! IMO
You guys are like a bunch of school kids playing in the backyard with ridiculous toys, please never stop, this was fantastic! Great collab!

I love that Gav and Dan have been so successful with CZcams. It's a simple theme, everything in slow motion.

A collaboration I didn't know I needed so badly.. this has been superb.
Thank you guys for getting back with Scott! Love the colabs, and these slow motion captures are crazy!
I used to do high-resolution fluid simulations on a supercomputer. All I can think when I see that gel exploding is how incredibly expensive it looks! Not the material, not the camera, or the bullets, but the MOTIONS! That job gave me such a newfound respect for the incredible beauty and complexity of fluid dynamics. I look at something like this and marvel in awe at how reality.exe can possibly run something so detailed and multi-threaded and complex so effortlessly.
ty all for this amazing video. i am so dumbfounded and shocked at the gell effects, it is sooo different to see the flash at brass penetration and then the almost exit of the lead slug. this is amazing tyvm for the educational view. you are great keep it up. :D

You can tell how happy it makes Kentucky ballistics by the satisfaction he gets from seeing others experience it, he’s eager to share what he loves. Big guns might be his religion.
is this a genuine comment or an advertisement for your channel?
@@spiddyman0079Does it matter? Made the counter go up 1, and if they "liked" and "shared" then that was good for everybody. So I think you can quit asking everyone who comments, and has a checkmark, if they are "advertising".
That shot of the first solid bullet going through the ballistic gel blocks is officially the coolest slo-mo footage you guys have ever shot. Astounding!
Both shots had me speechless.
I agree 💯!
Awesome footage 🥰🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much 👍👍👍
This footage was definitely most fun to watch. Good energy guys!
Scott really is a national treasure. The guy plays it rather goofy in his own videos, but here you can see what a likeable fella he is, when he's not playing up the Kentucky Ballistics persona.
He appears to be the kinda guy that would be unlimited fun to hang out with at a BBQ while drinking some nice cold beer and talking smack.
and very much safety first too and to think stood next to eddie hall he looked small and small he is not
Him and his family are a treasure. His dad and wife are the unseen unheard pillars of kentucky ballistics and bring just as much joy and happiness as scott himself does
