I like how this is the "most sincere don't try this at home, we mean it this time" and not, testing a homemade gas mask with tear gas, making your own riot control materials, building explosives, or any of the other items that could kill you and burn down your house even if everything was set up correctly.
@asdrubale bisanzio I'm sure they are, but it's still localized damage that you can easily stop by not doing it anymore. They've done stuff that will do massive harm or cause death and you're pretty helpless to stop it.
@@VintageFenrir I'd disagree, it might exist but nothing I remember has as high a risk of death. flails are terrifying and if that dangling half of the can broke off it could have killed jason
@asdrubale bisanzio Flails are very ineffective and dangerous in general. It really doesn't matter how good you are with them, you'd be better off with a morningstar.
One important rule when building a flail is to keep the chain short. This isn't a whip, the chain is more of an exaggerated hinge. The longer the chain, the more dangerous to the wielder. When preparing your handle it's critical to establish a "safe zone" and a "danger zone". The safe zone is your handle, and the danger zone is the length of the chain+mace head. The goal when joining handle, chain, and mace head is that when you have your hands at the top of the handle and the whole thing is pointed upwards the chain is to short to hit your hand. This will ensure that as long as you keep your hands on the handle wrap you minimize self injury. Realistically you only need two or three links of chain. This is the biggest mistake people make when messing with chain weapons.

Oh hey, I made one of those at scout camp! Instead of a can it was a padlock. I called it “Lockdown.” That was also the year I made a crossbow and became a legend at camp for putting a hole through the cabin’s window.
I remember commenting on their old razor blade flail video to use a shorter chain/string and a longer handle so they wouldn't be at risk of hitting their hands. I'm very impressed that they not only did that but then still managed to make it even more hazardous to everyone within 50 yards.
You know those red buttons that play one pre recorded sound. They should sell that on scam stuff where its "roll the injury counter back" and it had that ticking sound after.

he got so baffled that the soda didn't explode when really he was just hitting it with the wood pole and not the spiky bit EDIT this thing is fucking terrifying.
When it comes to pruno oh no can't drink that, but playing with a sharp unstoppable unpredictable ball of death that could easily crush a skull in? that one's just fine
Also: Notice the can once tested is a Dr. Pepper can, and the one used in the build process is an energy drink of some sort. That means the flail heads are different.
Profits come first, then comes coffee, then comes safety. Safety third. The actual origin though stems from the overuse of "safety first". With warnings everywhere, they lost their efficacy.
A heavy focus on "safety first" can also neuter the ability for people to achieve the goals they're working towards, be that making money or whatever else they're working towards. "My job is not to get you home safe. My job is to get you home rich. If you want to get home safe, that's on you."
@@garrettbyrd7426 I think safety is being used in a metaphorical sense here, where "playing it safe" is not taking the financial risk of pursuing the daring new idea - at least, I hope.
next time instead of concrete, maybe just use the chain. then use nuts (more than one per bolt for weight) and bolts to make the "flail" part if you know what i mean. maybe even weld the last nut in place so it doesn't come off. should be a little safer than THIS. xD
I can't believe he got the coconut first try. He swung the flail 2 or 3 times, and that's all the practice he needed to hit something that low to the table.
15:10 - So this started off as Jason wanting to make Castlevania chain whips before he realized the logistics didn't favor his vision. That's my headcanon now.
I like how you can see Anthony learn the best way to wield this monstrosity. He immediately identifies the ideal stance when he's holding it. Then on his first swing at the Mountain Dew, you can see him over extend on the follow through because of the weight, but he adjusts his technique to compensate on subsequent swings. Very impressive.
If I was to make this, I would stick to the nails, but grind in notches into the nails for the cement to hold on to, and not put the nails, or screws in all the way, so the heads can stick out as much as the points, then cut off the heads, and make them into points. This way there is the same amount of materials, but more points. Using screws may also be good for scraping flesh if the points do not impale. EDIT: I would also suggest using a tin can, or a piece of piping instead of aluminum for strength, and to pour metal, such as aluminum inside of the stronger metal container. If you use cement, you can also put wire mesh inside of the can to make it stronger.
Concrete is brittle. But you can toughen it by making it into a composite with a tougher material. Practically this is done with steel reinforcement bar in construction. You could use a course dish scourer, or maybe wire wool, or fibreglass/carbon fibre, as examples.
Just started the video. Haven't seen any yet. Will edit after, but just from the thumbnail image, I'm guessing the injury counter gets reset. Let's see... [edit] Yup!
The point of weakness was that the can is frail and concrete fractures easily. If you replaced the can with a piece of boiler pipe with a screw on end cap you could do the exact same build (concrete and all) with even more weight and a lot more strength and security (your new weakest point would be the attachment of the chain to the shaft and the risk of your shaft splitting). You would have to do a great deal more drilling, however, to put holes through the boiler pipe (a drill press, cutting fluid, etc. would be vastly better). The historic ones were just studs and wood, however, so all that extra weight might just be superfluous anyways. Some time with an angle grinder sharpening the tips of the spikes would also help (and you would want a bladed point like a spear, not just a rounded point like a nail, with the edge alignment parallel with the shaft/chain/head when they are in a straight line - vertical if you were hanging the weapon by the user end of shaft - as that is the direction of the cut). In fact, you could do bladed points with only one edge (like a glaive) with the edge side being "down" (towards the user) since that is the side that would do the cutting during the penetration of the point - both to improve trauma, depth, lacerate, and most importantly: keep the weapon from impaling, lodging, and then binding in the target like a really bad cocklebur in the flesh.
For mk.2 you should look into adding some screws vertically for extra stability and to help mitigate the breakage. Nothing long enough to poke you once it’s through, just enough to throw a nut on the end of it. You could easily fit the attack screws in between the spaces of the support bolts as well, and even put more of the screws through different links of the chain
Meh, the weakness could be addressed with some rebar through the middle of it. Plus, I have a suspicion that they didn't allow it time to cure, just time to set.
I've done a very similar thing but I used a steel pipe with two caps on it and I figured out that if you're hitting harder things shorter screws with nuts on the end worked a lot better than long screws

That Brian was secretly the Adult all along, he's just bad at it.

a bizarre revelation honestly
Maybe it's a "Parent" thing, where he just picked it up by accident...
He's not the adult, he's the guy who gets the insurance bill

We need more Anthony's immaculate weapon form
Seriously!! I was in awe of those slow mo shots! Homeboy looked terrifying lol
I thought he would be more hesitant. Swung that thing with authority, right from the first go. Caught me by surprise.
Agreed
Right? My favorite part was his war face that went on the moment he started the swing
A verified professional assaulteir.
Honestly I’m most impressed with Anthony’s Morningstar wielding skills
I'm excited, this thing looks gnarly.
Honestly, cement shoes seems like a fun episode - as long as no one actually drowns.

Let's ignore how the can magically transformed from Bang into Dr Pepper during the drying process.
Didn't it break apart because it wasn't filled with cement? Otherwise you're just flailing around a spike covered brick (which seems safe-er)
Nope same can.
Just kidding. I made one ahead of time so we didn't have to wait for the one we made on camera to dry before using it.

Indeed!
Oh hey, I made one of those at scout camp! Instead of a can it was a padlock. I called it “Lockdown.”
That was also the year I made a crossbow and became a legend at camp for putting a hole through the cabin’s window.
Sounds a bit like my scouting experience.

I'm loving the little animations in this one, props to whoever did those
Brandt did them and they are awesome.
“Homemade flail: what could go wrong?”
Everything. Literally everything could go wrong.
Post-watch edit: yeah
Anytime someone asks "What could go wrong?"
They're gonna find out!
Would probably have worked a lot better if they used something like a steel food can instead. Like one of those bush's baked beans cans or something.
I can't believe it's been that long since an injury counter reset, They used to be so much more often, good on the fellas for taking care
I think Anthony found his new favorite weapon, seeing his face swinging that
I'm really impressed by Anthony's mastery of the weapon, he handled it very well during those strikes
"Ok, so now let's see where we need more spikes."- Cory
I need to able to say this some day!
Watching Anthony smile after he smashes that Mountain Dew was incredibly satisfying.

I literally screamed in joy a couple of times while watching this. Well done.
When the Mountain Dew was first hit, it became a broken Gmod object flying through completely static.
It feels like I’m watching a tv show where they replace a main character with a new actor, and didn’t tell anyone about the switch
he got so baffled that the soda didn't explode when really he was just hitting it with the wood pole and not the spiky bit
EDIT this thing is fucking terrifying.
Dude the spikes that came off, it was amazing and terrifying.
And I'm always amazed they aren't in the ER more often
A modern Rogue might have generally impaired judgment, but they also have a healthy fear of death... most times.
Good god, the sound it made when it hit the ham was so visceral and brutal.
15:29 Jason's face when Cory holds it up, he looks so proud, and a little in awe of the creation lol
When it comes to pruno oh no can't drink that, but playing with a sharp unstoppable unpredictable ball of death that could easily crush a skull in? that one's just fine
screw washers over the screws so its really attached to the can
Fun fact: the difference between concrete and cement is that concrete has aggregate (small rocks) in it. They're using anchoring cement.
If they had added some rough sawdust
Anthony swung that thing with confidence. Dang!
Also: Notice the can once tested is a Dr. Pepper can, and the one used in the build process is an energy drink of some sort. That means the flail heads are different.
I made the DP can a day earlier so we didn't have to wait for it to dry.
His swing was spot on and amazing each time - impressive!

Ah yes, another video that answers the age old question:"Why do woman tend to live longer than man?"
Modern Rogue's editing game just keeps improving.

There are a thousand ideas much safer than this
This was an amazing episode, I love the DIY weapons.
Not hearing Brian go “ hehehehaahahaaaaaa!” Really makes this video stick out.
It was the lack of "oh geez, oh geez..." that stood out for me. Always happy to see more on Anthony on here though!

Anthony completely flexing his skills this episode. Awesome. New show idea, Jason is the brain, Cory the engineer and Anthony the tester.

5:00 the editing on that is awesome
A soup can might work better. The opening is already there and the ribbing would help keep it all together.
Thicker and stronger metal as well.
If I was to make this, I would stick to the nails, but grind in notches into the nails for the cement to hold on to, and not put the nails, or screws in all the way, so the heads can stick out as much as the points, then cut off the heads, and make them into points.

You did admirably. Greatest compliment/insult ever. the equivalent of 'you tried'
Apron man would have lost his Totin Chip three times in this video, or a couple holes in his palm at least.
You know, it times like 23:00 that I'm glad that I have the ability to go frame-by-frame when watching on my computer ( < and > ).
Anthony doing "Nose Goes" did it for me.
The splortches that those impacts made were brutal and I would not be surprised if they were added in post.
Just started the video. Haven't seen any yet. Will edit after, but just from the thumbnail image, I'm guessing the injury counter gets reset. Let's see...
[edit] Yup!
The point of weakness was that the can is frail and concrete fractures easily.
If you replaced the can with a piece of boiler pipe with a screw on end cap you could do the exact same build (concrete and all) with even more weight and a lot more strength and security (your new weakest point would be the attachment of the chain to the shaft and the risk of your shaft splitting).

Nothing long enough to poke you once it’s through, just enough to throw a nut on the end of it. You could easily fit the attack screws in between the spaces of the support bolts as well, and even put more of the screws through different links of the chain
0:39 Jeb Bush "please clap"
Make a MK 2 using a thicker can like a soup can then get that soup company to sponsor you
Possible improvement: soup can instead of drink can
-> or a paint can for the adventurous
Meh, the weakness could be addressed with some rebar through the middle of it.
Plus, I have a suspicion that they didn't allow it time to cure, just time to set.
I've done a very similar thing but I used a steel pipe with two caps on it and I figured out that if you're hitting harder things shorter screws with nuts on the end worked a lot better than long screws
the sound of the flail hitting the ham was like foley for a gore movie or something.
That was, surprisingly effective.
whichever editor is animating: very cute, love it!
