Not saying a 9mm would ever cut a cable but it’s easier to cut something with tension on it
But it's still the same material
@@captainh.m.murdockhowlingm5863 yeah the bullet would not go through the cable, but with the cable supporting the weight of an elevator, the cable would possibly snap after being shot. Maybe not a 9mm, but i'd bet money that anything bigger than .223 would be able to snap a strained elevator cable
@@captainh.m.murdockhowlingm5863 but with tension its more realistic and tension make the cable easier to cut
How do you cut string or rope. You tighten it. The weight of the elevator would be tightening the cable
@@captainh.m.murdockhowlingm5863 doesn't matter
Materials that are stretched out to oblivion are a lot easier to cut
The strength of the cable, while holding the weight of an elevator makes breaking it much different than a slack cable with no tension.
Absolutely! Also apparently the way they are designed elevators go up not down when they break. He would have been holding the wrong cable
I was just about to say the same thing👌👌
I was looking for this comment lol.
Yea I said the same thing before I saw your comment
Facts. I was hoping someone would say it. Matt should shoot sheat plastic. It's like dry wall but pvc plastic.
You gotta remember that there’s a ton of weight and strain on the cable while it’s holding the elevator.
Also wouldn't be able to swing and absorb the force
Came here to say the same thing
But the metal of the cable is compressed because of the weight so maybe is harder for the bullets
Yes put this comment at top
Right I was just thinking that!! Tension makes a huge difference!
The cable need to be under tension to recreate for an accurate experiment.
Also he needs to shoot it point-blank like in the movie
I don’t really think it would make much of a difference since, the cable wouldn’t be any weaker.
@@nomnomstirn1532 ya it would def make a huge difference having 4000lbs of force pulling on it.
@@homewardboundphotos Though it has weight pulling on it, it still wouldn’t make much of a difference since the cables were built to withstand that amount of stress, plus the only thing the weight would do is tighten the cable, which would cause the cables forming that cable to be more packed together making the rope even harder to break
@@nomnomstirn1532 that's not how physics works man. It would make the cable more rigid, because of the tension. It has less ability to move and therefore less ability to absorb the energy. Just trust the 99% of us that accurately are pointing out the issue. This isnt the hill to die on.
I love how the bullets are still in the casings in the intro.
1:01
Just like the movies
They're speeding bullets, that's why.
@@PyroTallahassee yes shit Sherlock
@@ginger_nosoul Sherlock I didn't mean to actually do it
when that cable is holding the weight of the elevator, under tension it is whole new story.
Not really. The strain of the elevator this rope is meant for would compress it a bit more, making it even more slightly bullet resistant
@@Helldiver5n23 but it would also be more stress, so youd stack the bullet stress from a direction it's not designed to handle on top of that, doubt a 9mil would go through but the first round to actually cut wires, the 300 winmag, would do tons more under load
I was gonna say this exact thing. Under tension if one bundle of the cable gets compromised it might cause the rest to snap due to not being able to hold the weight of the elevator anymore. So a smaller round may do the job if under enough tension
@@Helldiver5n23 The cable suspending the elevator would be under tension, not compression. As it is, that cable also has a safety factor of at least 3, more like 5 (i.e. its at least 3 to 5 times stronger than required for the given maximum loading condition).
@@Helldiver5n23 except that compression and tension are opposites. Tension puts a stress between the bonds in the atomic structures of the metal making a sudden impact more likely to break that structure.
Cable needs to be under tension, a whole different dynamic.....
Came here to say the same thing
Same
I was thinking the same but I don’t think he does it cause if it snaps it makes it 10x more dangerous with a cable slinging around
@@tuckerjohnson1845 Also true
Very true but i think Neo didn’t shoot the cable itself more like a clamp or a pin or something like that which isnt as durable
Matt, you rock. Having said that, im gonna repeat other comments due to how important they are to this video. The whole test is moot due to the fact that a cable under tension will behave much differently than a free swinging, energy absorbing limp cable. ok i feel better. Thx for the matrix nods and I LOVE YA BRO CYA NEXT TIME
the cable isn't under tension, I'm sure that affects it in some way.
Was about to say this
Ofc it does. Imagine chopping a branch on the floor, if it can wiggle with the force, you need way more power, if it can't go anywhere because its flat on the ground, you get through way easier.
This bothered me as well
I figured someone beat me to it 😅 should have hooked it to a truck and a tree and pulled it so it was under tension. Then it's fighting tensile strength and fatigue as well as the force of the bullet hitting it and weakening it by breaking strands. Either way, I just like seeing Matt shoot stuff 😂
That’s what I was gonna say
The elevator cable was loose. There wasn't any weight applying tension to the cable. Maybe trying again with several hundreds of pounds of tension might yield different results.
Also, if you pay attention to that moment, he shoots the tie point, not the cable itself
Hitch two trucks together with it for the tension
Matt can't be bothered with such details like science and giving something the best chance to work🤣
@@johnmyers6802 definitely will do massive damage to both trucks and possibly drives if it seperates
Exactly what I thought.
If the cable was in tension it would definitely make a difference in what will cut it
Came here to make sure this was said!
I was thinking the same thing, lol. It doesn't have like 1200 kilos of force on it.
For sure theres an additional at least 800 pounds of pressure on that cable to help the billet pass through if it was actually weighted down it probably would have cut through more layers
was wondering the same thing.
Wouldn't it be "under tension"?
I'd love to see you revisit this one. But have tension on the cable. Attach it to a tree and a hitch of a vehicle.
I'd like to see this again with the right tension on the cable
was about to say the same. It really makes a big difference
If the cable was under tension it will be dangerous cause of the cables swinging around and it may hit Matt and his cameraman
@@Trash__ yeah also true.
but without anyone nearby because we don't want another Kentucky Ballistics type incident. Matt doesn't have enough thumb for an entire elevator cable.
Also they usually have at least 4 cables
Honestly surprised we didn't get an "Owww, that's hot!" when he grabbed the bullet out of the air.
i dont think it is hot while flying through the air, it heats up by deforming the metal
@@MatasVinikaitis air resistance would heat it too
Haha
Yes.
I thought the same thing. Missed some comedy gold there.
Aren’t elevator cables always under tension?
Thus making it easier to break, maybe?
I was thinking he should've tied something really heavy to it for _some_ tension otherwise it'd just be flopping around. Granted, it's heavy enough on its own but something would've kept it from swaying and more damage could've been done with extra tension. A full-sized anvil perhaps (up to 500lbs).
9000 IQ over here 🤯
Exactly what I was thinking 🤔.
of course
I mean, they can still take about- what, was it 2,000 or 20,000 lbs EXTRA.
His parents: “don’t play with guns son!”
Him: “But I’m doing it safely”
You forget the tension the cable had when it was used as elevator cable.
I was thinking the same thing. Idk that it would make a huge difference but I’m sure it would help somewhat
@@alexshingle5463 i think it would because due to tension the cable would be under stress i.e physics one. Due this the cable diameter squeezes. To cut short i think it will make a difference. Can't explain physics in a comment 😂
I'm glad I wasn't the only one. The tension keeps it taught and less shock absorbing. So this test isn't an accurate scenario. Place the cable under extreme tension then shoot it.
@@4mhorsetraining hang whistling diesels Toyota from the cable and then shoot it 😂
Came to comment same! Cable under tension will have totally different results!
Neo said “There is no spoon” before shooting the cable. Maybe that’s the key.
Because he was reminding himself that he isn’t in the real world, but a computer simulation where he can change the laws of physics to make what he wants happen.
Ahhhhhhh now there you go,🤔👏👍 🤩 you got it!! Man that was good…
Matrix 4 looks lit
tho
Flatebo owned this video with logic.
That's it chief. He was already believing and changing the code, tho unconsciously.
Ahhhh yes, the cheat code for unlimited mana...
A non-tensioned cable will seriously dampen the impact because it has a ton of flex. It’s like the difference of jumping out of a three story building onto a big comfy mattress vs concrete.
Not exactly right. Yes it would dampen the impact somewhat but given the speed of the bullet that won't be much.
Also this would be more like a human falling at terminal velocity in which case even water would be like concrete.
The high force being applied and the low time time period of it's application will negate the damping significantly.
This man's devotion to his intros is amazing
But the weight of the elevator makes the tension of the cable higher which could lead to faster breaking.
addendum: everytime one of those smaller cables is torn apart by a bullet, the more likely that the elevator will fall.
Most of the kinetic energy is dissipated by the drag of the cable
@ elevators only need one cable to hold them under the recommended maximum weight
Yep
I was thinking the same thing also the angle of the bullet would make a difference in the film the cable was shot down the axis of the cable so the fibers wouldn’t separate as much. I don’t believe in real life a bullet would break a steel cable but it could weaken a cable that was already about to fail. But don’t forget it is the Matrix if you can bend a spoon with your mind than you could break a cable with a bullet.
Needs proper tension on the cable for this test to make any sense at all.
Make some tension into the cable. Its easier to snap something when it has stress in it
9:46 I love when he says “this one” before every bullet
Its not a fair test though because a real elevator would be load bearing, even with the counter weights
Exactly a cable under tension will behave very different than free swinging. Should have put inbetween 2 junker cars or something to put tension on the cable. This was pretty pointless.
Exactly that tension would make it more likely to snap if shot
Just the ability to swing and absorb impact freely changed the outcome. Not saying a 9mm would have been enough but I think a weight as heavy as an elevator would change what happened greatly.
We need Matt see this comment, absolutely right
@@jacobparker5859 Under tension it would have done less damage (assuming 9mm of course) cables are high tensile no way a 9mm would touch it and under tension the cable would be almost the equivalent of a steel plate nearly an inch thick.
It’s funny how a gun channel is more family friendly, than most “family friendly” channels
Truth brother. Nothing quite like watching a minecraft streamer screaming FUUUCCCKKK and getting monitized with an average audience of 12 years old. But a genuine family man who enjoys target shooting and never curses has to rely on external revenue.
Good job Google/TH-cam.
Soooo friggin true dudw
That's because guns aren't a bad thing. They just require responsibility.
True... never thought about that 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah
The cable needs to be under the weight of holding up an elevator, even though I don’t think a 9 mm would even break the cable under load. Doing a static test doesn’t really show the damage that would be done if the cable was under the weight of an elevator just saying maybe we need to donate some money so Matt can actually get an elevator
He is going to have to revisit this video with tension on the cable or he will never hear the end of it.
Something with tension would have different results , however it would be so unbelievably dangerous to test that , purposely trying to breathe a heavy duty high tension cable is how you get cut in half
Maybe he should spend a little less on the corny intro graphics?
Also, neo never shot the cable. He shot what ever piece of metal was holding the cable
I don't think it would matters with the tension since it was made to withstand that and more
I love how you used the silly trope of entire unfired cartridges flying through the air in the intro, bad 80s cartoon style.
One thing that’s isn’t accounted for is the strain of the elevator that would be applied to the cable.
Was literally thinking the same thing all the way through
I came searching for someone to say what I was thinking
Same lol
I don’t imagine that would do much. I’m sure the cable is designed to uhm, NOT snap when a tiny part of the entire cable gets a little frayed
@@quiggs8361 he means the tension, something tighter will be stronger than something loose
Friendly reminder that at 10m subs, Matt will show us his whole collection. If ur not allready subscribed go do that right now. Thnx
I know....that’s the main reason I subscribed😄
.05 mil left to go! erbody sub and share!
i can’t wait, i know tons of us have been waiting years for this to go down!
He might not do it because of the ATF, you never know though.
@@super_3410 i mean i don’t think he has anything to hide, he seems pretty by the book, but in reality he could show us “all his guns” and we wouldn’t know if it was all of them bc he has so many lol

Hahahahaha
They told me the opposite in rehab
Hmmmm
I am messed up
thanks for the tip ill tell my girlfr-
It would be interesting to see how adding tension to the cable effects this experiment
I wonder how much of a difference not having tension on the elevator cable makes.
this
My thoughts exactly
I was looking for this comment, thank you.
100%
Exactly what I was thinking
Matt needs to get an ultra high-speed camera so we can see these impacts in great detail.
An Ultra high speed camera like a phantom would make it much more difficult to put out videos at a decent pace. The huge files they generate are a pain to deal with.
I've been thinking this since I discovered his channel!
Been saying that for awhile.
He should colab with slow mo guys
Those are a good $10k
Let's not forget that elevators are held up by multiple redundant cables, emergency braking systems and buffers at the bottom of the shaft that have been specifically constructed to prevent a matrix type scenario.
Have you seen the Crash which happened in Italy recently?
@@victorelliesen2914 with an elevator?
I’m an elevator mechanic. All of those things are correct also elevator cables are 1/2 or 5/8 and have a hemp rope core.
@@victorelliesen2914 when you think elevators and cable cars are working the same because they lift people, let me tell you, they are not.
Shhhhh. Lets pretend
Take a shot whenever there's a comment talking about how tension affects bullet penetration or how there are elevator precautions in case of cable breakage
Mmmmm. I am not old enough, can’t drink alcohol, what about sprite or dr.pepper?
It might actually cut a cable if it was actually holding an elevator, as it would be much more stress on it!
Tension
I mean lifting systems have a 10:1 safety factor so I doubt it would even care about a pistol round.
That's impossible, that 9mm didn't even scratch one cable. Doesn't matter if it's holding a weight.
@@Ammoniummetavanadate with the weight plus gravity also it would have quite a few other factors like age of the cable condition of the building its in (eg: leaking roof above elevator shaft) maintenance done recently theres too many factors to be able to potentially test all of them
Even if it was holding the weight of an actual elevator, none of those round with the possible exception of the .50 would have resulted in the cables snapping instantly . At best, they'd likely slowly start to give.
Your missing the 2000+ lbs of tension for an empty elevator and also a less beefy diameter cable, movie scene is a twin cable...then shoot it!

Matt: doesn't understand why the scope is off
Also Matt: throws Barrett around the back of the truck like a old piece of lumber
In my opinion, if a scope can't handle being dropped or thrown around... it can't handle the sudden recoil jolt of shooting a 50 BMG. lol. I could be wrong though.
@@TheFlyingZulu the shock is different and hitting different parts, scopes are afterall designed to be mounted on rifles that shoot but not to be dropped into the back of the truck like a log
@@poortal4992 My dude, the recoil of just a SCAR17 has a very short list of scopes that can handle that short stroke .308 recoil, the barret 50 is significantly worse. The recoil of that is so much more jarring than even dropping the scope 2 feet with the rifle attached. Somebody in high school physics can write up the jerk force equasion for us. It's been too long for me lol
@@TripleSuccotash1 yeah I know the recoil force is stronger but scopes designed to handle a lot of recoil are just that, designed to handle recoil and not just general shock so dropping the scope is still likely to fuck with your zero because that’s not a type and angle of shock it’s supposed to handle
Lumber is the new gold!. A 2x4 might be worth more than the gun? I'm just being sarcastic, but wood is through the roof

Thank you. I was hoping to find this comment. And shocker it's not about the entertainment... Of course it was entertaining. Tons pulling on the cable would make a major difference in the result. Science.

There is tension on an elevator cable and this has no tension. Time for a real elavator.😂

I love that outro it show how much your channel grow over all these year I love your video
It would be more accurate if the wire was holding some weight.
That is simply genius damn bro
Right, like cutting a string with a blade. Try cutting a limp string and then try it pulled tight
Also I think in the scenes he is talking about, they usually shoot where it's connecting to the elevator instead of at the cable itself. I'm probably wrong though as I know nothing.
Yep, tension causes strain on the rope
that's what i'm thinking too. if the wire is under tension, probably it will snap, but most likely it still won't since they are designed to resist load way greater than they are used for. i just searched, there are elevators that have a factor of safety of 10(and above), that means that they will use a combined strength of cables that exceeds the full weight of the cart by 10x.
Matt: "I think there's like Leprechauns and come and screw with my scopes in the middle of the night"

Look at the bullets lol
I know we're not supposed to tell Mere but I really think the engineer of the family should review this and provide her feedback on how well the cable would hold up were the proper tension applied. 😂
I agree. The results would have been much different if the cable was under stress when shot.
even with tension applied, doubt a 9mm would cause enough damage to sever the cable.
@@keithdittmar1701 Know what that should mean? Another video! Maybe a "vet vs. engineer" elevator cable challenge.
Agreed 👍
Yea, with no weight/tension the force of the bullet is absorbed by a lot more of the cable, when it's under tension the impact is concentrated because the cable can't move and flex to absorb it. Like trying to poke a hole in a piece of paper your friend is just holding loosely with one hand versus the paper being held tight from both ends.
Neo only has to believe his 9mm will cut it. Remember, their is no spoon.
Neo talking to Morpheus. "My 9 mm hits like a 50 cal cause I am the one. I am also John Wick but only within.... The Matrix."
Morpheus: Yes. Yes that is right."
Mat, "I think leprechauns come in the middle of the night and mess with my scopes" Mare laughing in the background
Conclusion: It would hurt the integrity of the cable so depending on the weight it carries it would definitely break but not with one shot
The lack of weight here really hurts the experiment
@@shooteveryday1841 yea bit it would be so much more dangerous with weight
dont they shoot where the cable is bolted to? And not the cable itself
@@nick_steele9790 I mean sure but not alot more.. under tension if it snaps it isnt just gunna fly around depending on how it's set up. He doesnt even neeed weight. Two come-a-longs on either side of the cable to hold it in tension with two bags on either side of where your shooting to absorb the force if it snaps. Pretty safe
@@chadjackson4786 i was curious too ~ neo def shot the cable
I bet there was a lot more tension in the room, when Mat asked Mere to dress up as Trinity, than there was in that cable!
Matt: This wouldn’t cut a cable
Everyone: tension is a thing
Also everyone: Still wrong, as there was simply too little damage.
@@leocurious9919 yup
@@leocurious9919 I mean did u know that a plane cant fly even if theres a little dent on it because if the wind shifted then the plane could rip apart just cuz of that little dent. It could still be possible cuz elevator still weighs a lot and if u put a small place for the tension to get away then the tension will get away and snap the whole thing clean half. Its just hard to know without doing the calculation and knowing the exact numbers.
It could still work, maybe not with the 9mm but anything bigger than a 0.223 has a good chance id say.
@@iarmycombo5659 this 100% false. Aloha Airlines flight 243 had 18.5 feet of the roof of the plane. It made a successful landing after flying 13 minutes. 94 of the 95 people on the plane survived. And before you ask the plane was a a massive Boeing 737-297. If you don’t know anything about planes please don’t speak about them. Commercial aviation is extremely safe and planes are designed to withstand heavy damage and are often unaffected by damage to the surface of the plane.
@@grapesanyone6626 What u said was true except the "this 100% false." part since if plane mechanics find dent or atleast some structual damage in the plane somewhere they dont send it flying. Maybe it wont rip apart but tell me then why plane mechanics dont clear the plane for flight if it has small to none damage visible to eye. Its structured to last sure but they still dont want to take any chances, so they dont clear the plane.
Love the shows ! ! You have no tension on the cable which would help out a lot !!
Would be interesting to see the effects of the rounds when there’s tension on the wires. Great video! Thanks for the content. 💛
That's exactly what i was thinking
"I kinda dont think we should shoot it again"
Matt not wanting to go through ammo. The shortage is real !!!!
It’s crazy how in MW2 you have guys holding a barret .50 like a Small AR
That hits right in the feels?
Wow...can we just appreciate that he actually hit it so accurately for a moment?
That’s litteraly his job
Was just going to comment that too 🤣
Abc for accuracy
one handed too..
He is a pretty good shot... when he is shooting one of his 4 guns that are actually sighted in.
Well the production value of the opening segments is getting better
Does tention matter? Maybe the weight that the elevator holds makes the cable easier to break?
Tension would make the breaking force different.
Thoe whole time I was thinking, Im sure he has a couple of tractors on the ranch that he could pull that taught between.
It would. It would still not break with a 9mm but the Tension would more easily rip a weakend cable.
That is exactly what I've been thinking.
You beat me to it!

Agent Johnson is back for Matrix 4, yay!
There is no such thing as the matrix or Keanu Reeves mr. Spellman
Lol, yup
No, he'd say it is real!
Fun fact: most if not all elevators have 4 elevator cables to hold the elevator in reality only 1 is needed there’s 4 cables because the man that invented the elevator wanted people to trust in the safety of it and 1 cable was not enough for people to trust so he installed 4
"speed is how you get through hard things"
The truth hurts man...
haha drugs.
Lmao
Don’t forget that the weight of the elevator is stretching and putting stress on the cable.🤨
thats why he said he aint an expert
Yeah, I would be interested to see them do it on a cable under stress,
@@touchgrass7078 You don;t have to be an expert to know that...
Yeah that would be the real test is get that badass cable under stress and then hit it with everything
still wouldnt break with 9mm
Missed a perfect opportunity to say "ouch it's still hot" when he grabbed the matrix bullet in the intro lol
That wouldve been hilarious
Literally thought the same 😂
should've hold it with something and kept the tension, because the movie shoot it while the elevator was holding an elevator weighing tons, which also means gave the cable alot of tension, which i also think would break more easily
The trees surrounding the range while he shoots: *visable fear*
The intro is like the literal definition of Bollywood movies.

Still tough. Really needs a BreachPen, which is a thermite-based cutting tool.
Having it under load would make a huge difference though.
@@genejeffries2888 yeah.. but Idk what will happen... make it even harder to get penetrated or killing it in one hit.
What if they cut most of the way in and then he just shot the last remaining strand that a nine mil could cut! Remember neo can manipulate the matrix too! He can see the code!
Then why did he even use the gun at all?
I was hoping you'd put tension on the cable and see how it reacts then. That would be super dangerous though.
True he could have put it on the truck but as you said probably wouldn't have ended well
It's not super dangerous. You use two tree. Come alongside. Tighten them to tension. Put bags on either side of where your shooting to absorb the force when it breaks.. pretty safe
@@swampypolitics9574 the force required to put significant tension on that cable could make it go clean through a car. And would require you to lift a car with it. Sandbags aren’t going to stop it.
@@swampypolitics9574 I get that you're shitposting, but just gonna leave it here that high tension ropes cut people in half when they break.

Uhhh so you shoot out of range of the rope. It's not as though Matt is know for being super safe.
I love the intro I'm a big fan of the matrixs
I think he’s forgetting that the cable holding onto the elevator would cause tension, making it break easier to separate then what is shown here.
I was thinking the same thing. thanks for saving me some time lol
9mm maby not 308, 100%
He missed the tension, caused by tones of weight on the cable, cused by attached lift and counter balance... when is pullining tension, the bullet could trigger the ripping effect, would like House of Cards.... or Dominos...
Yeah, but like, 9mm? Could that really make these bad boys snap even under tension and heavy load?
Agreed, the load carried by the cable would definatly effect the result. I'm still doubtful that a 9mm would be up to the job tho.

Yeah but regardless a 9mm wouldn't sever the cable.... That being said, ide love to see him shoot one under 2 tons of tension.
"we got john wick at home", john wick at home
I’ll take it
You mean the matrix?
He be like "im scuffed"
Dead meme
Ah
“We don’t need to hit it with the .50 anymore”
What?!
Read: Expensive tungsten round
He makes enough of each videos to blast 100s or 1000s of tungsten rounds per video.
I was shocked to hear those words coming out of matts mouth. It was like another language first because I never expected to hear that in the first place but after watching it 37 times I finally understood what he said. I’m still visibly shaking.
@@coldnapalmFJ well not thousands necessarily and hundreds are bit stretching it also but he does make enough to shoot 20 or so. And he quite dang near does it.
Yeah, he was being a bit of a cheap ass there.
What an intro!!! 🔥 totally the matrix 😹
I have a feeling these results would differ drastically if it was holding something heavy
hmmmm i dont know
it can hold more then the weight of the elevator and people in it, so it is very strong
the bullet would just bounce of because of the tension
@@HappyDude1 Maybe, but you also have to keep in mind that the tension would prevent the cable from swinging after a hit, so much more of the kinetic energy of the bullet can go into the destruction of the steel.
@@HappyDude1 Just because it's under tension doesn't mean the bullet would just bounce off, where did you get that idea from.
@@HappyDude1 Dont forget the cable is also holding the weight of the cable it self. People and the elevator are light compared to long braided steel cable.
@@HappyDude1 That just doesn't sound right to me, bullets bouncing off steel cable just because it's under tension ?
"The Matrix isn't real"
That's exactly what the Machines want you to think!
Was just about to post the same thing lol
Epic!!
the matrix is a documentary
😎
Mattirix
Get it
Matt talking about the different 50 cal. rounds like a little kid showing you his hot wheels.
Intro was some boondock saints vibe!!
Yeah but 9mm's hit different when you're "The One".
when you're the one 9mm wont be hitting at all
@@purebloodwhiteboy ah yes average 9mm hater
Remember? He was saying "The Spoon" out loud after seeing a child bend spoons with only the mind at the oracle.
He used his powers somewhat and why he didnt only use his mind, he was barely understanding his powers yet.
People can't jump that far either but Neo can. Even b4 getting the one's powers. That was typical for the rest of his crew like Morpheus.
They might also hit different in a computer simulation.
@Textual Predator Are you talking to me?
The cable is incredibly strong, but the huge thing to consider is that the cable must be under tension for this to be more accurate.
The tension an elevator cable is under is rather low compared to its tensile strength - they all have a very high safety factor, but yeah, it would slightly change the result on when the cable would start failing.
For this to be accurate you have to be in the matrix and be the one, otherwise you can't say
i love how the bullets were still in their cases just like the movies
Portal turrets also do this, as Cave Johnson states, "It's MORE bullet per bullet!"
Came here to say this!
Who takes cover behind a plastic picnic table? Oh yeah Keanu Reeves! That kind Stallion!!
"sorry but the matrix is not real" thanks matt! I needed to hear that, couldn't have been better timed xD
"Our budget isn't that big" *proceeds to pull out a golden Tommy gun.
I’ll put in that missed *
Proceeds to flip cheap trenchcoat...
@@rb-go6wt I WONDER IF THE CABLE TENSION PLAYS A ROLE THO - OBVIOUSLY UNTENSIONED IN THIS VIDEO
@@stevethea5250 what 😐
@@stevethea5250 what are you talking about
The difference is, Neo believed that it WOULD cut the cable with a 9mm!
He also had his crush with him so his bullet has power of love in it.
Yeah, i think it's part of bending the laws of reality inside the matrix. It worked because he's Neo, not because it should.
Omg this is hilarious
Matt,
We talked about this. You can’t just shoot Mick Gordon’s guitar strings without asking.
At least the 9mm rounds couldn't rip and tear through them.
He sould have used the BFG 10000
Who said anything about shooting anymore? BRING OUT THE HYDROGEN BOMB!!!
Rocking that Dylan Klebold outfit at the beginning
Movie Logic:
9mm vs Elevator Cable: Gone, reduced to atoms.
9mm vs Car Door: Stronger than Graphene
I think the cable being in tension would help it break more easily. But a 9mm has no chance at breaking any type of elevator cable
Cool claim ,but we dont know 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah but that will probably be super dangerous
@@davekessing2266 Yeah, fuck physics! Am I right? LMAO 😂
Elevator cables are under large amounts of tension. This test doesn’t truly replicate what would actually happen if you shot a functioning elevator cable.
Exactly what i was going to say
THIS!!
title say if the elevator cable is bulletproof, not your scenario tho
I was wondering if someone would mention this.
@@foundthepath2919 ungh
In the beginning I thought he was going for Boondock Saints. Then the slow motion happened hahaha.
