Bullets vs Steel at 800,000 FPS - The Slow Mo Guys
As an American who’s done a few competition shoots, saying Dan is an excellent shot is an
Dan is so humble and nonchalant about his shooting abilities, but he is crazy accurate in every video.
Your channel is such a rare gem. You are what TH-cam once was: Just people enjoying making content, and best of all you are actual friends. Please don't ever change, guys.
Everybody says that Dan is such a good shooter, but we have to give Gav some credit, he's an equally good shooter of footage!
Pro tip: if you ever want to know when a video was filmed, look at the top left corner of the screen on top of the Phantom. The first number under the white line is the day of the year. This video was filmed on day 69 aka 10th March 2023.
Some day, Dan's lab coat will be in a museum,
The combination of Dan's ballistics knowledge and Gav's camera abilities...*chef's kiss* maybe the best they've done, kudos guys
I think this is the best example for me of why indoor ranges limit the calibers you can shoot. Noise aside, you shoot enough big rifles and you're eventually going to get through whatever is at the end.
I always appreciate you leaving in the gun safety parts, really shows Dan's professionalism when handling a firearm.
I love how Gav and Dan are so enthusiastic about their projects without being annoyingly loud.
The broken vise shows just how much energy the old 30.06 has and how formidable it is.

A suggestion: When you guys film impact footage of things colliding really hard, have a simple thermal camera at another angle to see the difference in temperature the impact created. The thermal camera doesn't need to be high framerate, it'll be already interesting to just see how much heat got generated after the impact
This ended up as a beautiful demonstration of the difference between hardened and mild steel. Nearly the same material yet such a massive difference in properties.
You two are absolutely AMAZING, but I must give MAD PROPS to the gun safety. No kidding, you guys could make instructional videos for proper gun safety. FANTASTIC!
If you guys take a hard look at the returning copper jacket, it has been turned inside out because you can see remnants of the lead on the inside of the jacket, which is now on the outside. As far as the white target it is made from AN 500 armor steel and the plate of steel you used is made from mild steel, there is a big difference between mild steel and Armor steel not just it's hardness, if you were to take a regular high carbon steel and harden it as hard as you can, the steel would shatter or crack when the bullet hit it. AN500 is a special kind of steel with various components, basically it is an alloy steel. the base metal for AN500 is Iron, then Carbon, Manganese, Phosphorus, Sulfur and Copper. Steel isn't the base metal of AN500. Now that you've seen and felt the power of the 30.06 round you can have a better idea of what the Germans faced in WW2, when ALL of the rifles and BARs used in WW2 were in the 30.06 caliber round. It packs a powerful punch, and you now know why those Round targets are put on 2x4s or spring mounts because the power of the 30.06 just breaks things. Thanks for another great video guys! Cheers!
How lucky are we the viewers that a slo-mo videographer and munitions expert just happened to be best friends. This channel is amazing, incredible footage!
They've been doing this for over a dozen years, and yet every video they put out makes my jaw drop at some point. These two have some serious magic.
Love the way the spinning round hits the plate and compacts and stops rotating but starts rotating again as it relinquishes contact with the plate. The kinetic energy of the spin remains as potential energy until it's free of the plate and converts back to kinetic rather than the spin just being stopped and it rebounding straight back. Amazing.
I want to shout you guys out because you've produced SO MUCH reference footage throughout your youtube career. It might just be FUN to watch for a casual viewer but to a lot of professionals these is AMAZING HIGH QUALITY reference that they can use for who knows whatever reason. It's so good.
