WW2 planes had guns that shot through the propeller. But if I’m remembering correctly, the propeller was connected to the gun in some way, where if you held down the trigger, the gun would only fire at certain intervals based off of where the propeller was in its rotation.
Certain planes in ww2 had them yes but it was more common In ww1 and if I remember right the Germans made a firing interrupter for when the prop was in the way of the gun and the French had a guy try putting metal on the back of the prop he died

And he is pretty damn accurate. A lot of the time when he is shooting fast and misses I feel like it's to be funny for the video. But when he takes his time with shots they hit 95% of the time.
This dilemma was encountered in WWI when machine guns were first attached to airplanes. The propellers were shot off, which is why a synchronization/interrupter mechanism (which would temporarily prevent a gun from firing when a propeller blade was in front of the barrel) was developed for aircraft firearms for WWII combat aircraft (or in some cases such as some German fighters, a cannon barrel came out through the shaft of the propeller). It is a well-known historical fact that airplane-mounted firearms shot off/destroyed propellers. That said, airplane gun calibers were much more substantial than .223 or .308, and fired at a much higher rate of fire.
Or you can do it another way which existed at the same time as synchroniser - just make prop bulletproof. Yeah, it will still sustain damage and a whole bunch of bullets are being wasted, but if you have literally nothing else...

There are 2 things I will caution about, both of which will happen during one single event. In the case of shooting enough holes in one of the propellers it is highly likely the tip will snap off shooting it off in a random direction, danger in just about any direction as it can ricochet off or even be sent up and fall down in a unknown area. Next thing to worry about after that happens is the van, you now have a unbalanced blade spinning at speed, this can lead to it rocking the van off of the blocks, the fan deflecting and spinning itself apart spewing more shrapnel. Best case the intact propeller deflects and gets stuck cutting into the van without throwing around additional shrapnel. Video is very entertaining, I just don't want to see any one get seriously hurt.
Right!?!? Now this is what I'm talking about! And Matt may have hinted at something coming when he said "This channel is about guns, not planes... But soon planes" Maybe we have a some super crazy stuff coming?
Please do a test to see if a standard Police Issue pistol can shoot accurately through a windshield. I'm always seeing videos of police shooting through their windshield, but there's no way they're shooting accurately. The windshield is just going to deflect the rounds in all random directions. Anybody who wants to see that video, please give this a thumbs up so the content creator hopefully sees it. 🙏
I am shocked how many people believe a pistol bullet is going to go through a windshield which is reinforced with a layer of plastic in it. If you're shooting from a distance and you're trying to hit something directly behind the glass then you'll hit it. But when it's a foot away from the muzzle of your gun and the glass is at an angle as windshields are then it's going to deflect it millimeters and down range that's going to be actual meters. I have shot through glass before and no it doesn't go straight through when you're too close to it.
@@taistotrannum120 I HAVE seen bullets ricochet from distance and at an extreme angle. I've also personally shot through windshield with a the pistol with no problem.

I remember when I was a kid my grandpa would tell me stories about how when he was in the Soviet Army part of his job was timing the guns behind the propeller to fire in between the rotations. Wish I asked him more questions about that stuff while he was still alive, like if that was during WWII or after (born 1926, so would have been 18/19 at the end of the war), and if he ever actually flew them or if he was just in charge of mechanical. Passed away in 2015 and his mind was gone for about a decade before that already. Don't take your grandparents for granted, ask them as much about their lives while you can.
Makes me sad. My dad was in WWII in Asia, and I'm 50 years old. I also did not get to ask him so many questions. He apparently ran a lot of classified missions with the Army Air Corps.

@DemolitionRanch The van probably has an open differential, which would explain the speed changing randomly, as the power transfers between each side. You could get precise control with a limited, or preferably, locked differential. Made better with a manual transmission. It would be a constant speed based on gear and RPM. You know, for the extra scientific results. Loving these ideas.
Yeah that was one of two ways of doing it. Linkage gear or fire interuptor. But that was so the bullets didn’t destroy the prop. And don’t quote me on this one but i believe they used 50 call
Hey, mechanic here, it's got an open diff so if you pinch off the propeller brake line and apply the brakes it will hold the wheel in place and send all of the power to the propeller, caution: may wreck the diff, may also spin the propeller fast enough where it Flys off
Could have mounted the prop on the driver side too and changed the direction of thrust so he doesn't have to shoot with all that wind and dirt blowing his direction
Speaking as a man that had the same issue with my back, the only thing that would help me before my surgery was to go to a chiropractor and get decompression therapy.

How lucky we are that no one responsible for making this video has heard of the synchronization gear so they would risk their lives to make a highly entertaining video about a question that was answered over a hundred years ago.

I love this channel. No one has dumber ideas than mat! Looking at you mr indoor living room steel target range... another banger. Keep making em and we'll keep watching em.
If the van has an open differential in the rear axle, you can lock the brake on one side, and the other side will spin at twice the RPM. That could help it shift gears and spin stupid fast!
@@micahmcg04 Yes, it would be twice the RPM. In an open differential, with the ring gear stationary, turning one wheel clockwise will cause the other wheel to turn counter-clockwise. So, if the ring gear is now turning and one wheel is locked, the only option is that the other wheel spins at twice the RPM.
@@JayRussellDuramax My man- Do some differential research. Spider gears- that allow the slippage for going around corners- is why the other wheel will turn backwards when picked up at the pumpkin and spinning a wheel. Every been caught in the snow- and lost traction to 1 tire? It's not spinning 2x as fast- that's just where the power went- because it can spin freely. Willing to debate with you more-
@micahmcg04 My man, you're the one who needs to research this because the very situation you described is a perfect example of what I said in my original post. Yes, I have been stuck in snow, and when one wheel is stopped, the spider gears are still turning inside the differential carrier, so that's why the free wheel turns twice as fast. The RPM of the non-spinning wheel has to go somewhere. If you look at it from the original reference plane where the ring gear is stopped, turning one wheel will cause the other to turn backwards. If we shift the reference plane to having one wheel stopped, turning the ring gear will cause the free wheel to spin at twice the RPM. That's literally how differentials work... You can't magically make the RPM from the fixed wheel disappear. When you turn a corner, the inside wheel turns slower than the outside wheel because the inside wheel is covering less distance. The spider gears allow the wheels to share RPM with each other when turning corners. If one wheel is completely stationary, it's like the vehicle is pivoting on that wheel, which means ALL of the RPM goes to the other wheel, thus doubling its RPM. It's basic mechanics.
I am an A&P mechanic. This might be one of the more dangerous videos you have done. That said, I have seen an aluminum prop that caught a bullet. Put a copper nick in the leading edge of the blade. The pilot recalled noticing the plane felt a little rough, but it was hardly noticeable. He chalked it up to wind. It wasn’t until he landed that he realized there was a new scratch on his engine cowling and the blade deformation. Never thought I’d see something like that. Btw, the blade damage was within repairable limits.
Fun fact: the "machine gun" mounted on a WWI biplane was actually semi automatic and used a trigger rod actuated by the engine's cam shaft to pull the trigger once for every second revolution (so the gun's rpm was directly tied to half the engine's rpm) to prevent pilots from accidentally shooting their own propellers. The trigger the pilot used simply engaged a linkage connecting the engine to the gun. This design (or something similar) was used on all fighter planes untill the guns got moved to the wings of the plane and could clear the propeller.
Ww1 pilots were instructed to say the magic word before firing the guns. Thus, the bullets avoided the blades. It's that simple. And the magic word was "eggplants" now you know.
Just like the a10 warthog is just a big gun with wings we need just a big gun with wheels and a steat with a steering wheel hanging off the side. What is it? Its my new daily driver
I feel like the resort should be a gunner's amusement park, where people can go to shoot targets like airplane propellers bolted to old cars and crazy things like that. Seems TOTALLY safe.
In WWI. the idea of shooting forward through the blades of the propeller for the airplane became a problem. The fixed the problem with a synchronizer so that the gun would shoot between the blades, not physically through the blades.
Don't forget the other solution people came up with, where they literally just put armor steel plates on the prop so that the bullets would ricochet in random directions and hopefully not back at the pilot or anything structurally important on the plane.
Hello Matt, yes it can as the biplane days, they had to develope a interruption link that would stop the gun from firing when the blade is in front of the gun barrel, because they chewed up the propellers while testing causing crashes...🤔 Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 😇🙏👊
Prop. Planes only fly by Displacing the air in front of them. If you feel wind pushing you away from the front of the prop, it is Reversed. Glad to see you and yours are still alive....
Matt. Great video. Lot of fun. You are so desensitized about spiders, from the caves, at the end of the video there was a spider the size of my hand walking along the entire top of the glass on the block wall window. Lol
The first airplanes tended to literally shoot their propellers off... they tried all sorts of dumb things to avoid it including.... armoring the backs of them which... lead to a lot of weird ricochets as youd imagine...until they finally designed a trigger interrupter for when the blade was in front of the barrel
This has got to be one of the funniest videos you have made in a long time. It’s also to me in the top ten best ever. I don’t think I stopped laughing the entire time. Thank you guys for such great content 👍👍👍
“Pinned and welded” means the suppressor cannot come off, and prevents needing a SBR tax stamp. You shouldn’t address the length of the barrel, and then immediately admit to breaking the law…

Amazing! As an aircraft mechanic who works on props, I've always wanted to see lots of different things thrown into them, like whole chickens, watermelons, wood planks, etc. Looking forward to some destruction next time!!
When they first started mounting machine guns on aircraft in WW1, they were mounted outside the arc of the propeller, usually on top of the upper wing. Anthony Fokker developed the interrupter gear that stopped the gun from firing when the propeller was in the path of the bullet. He mounted it on the Eindecker monoplane and made history with it.
Matt, you should invent a mechanism that allows fighter planes to fire their machine guns through their propellers without hitting them. You would be immortalized in the history books.
WW2 planes had guns that shot through the propeller. But if I’m remembering correctly, the propeller was connected to the gun in some way, where if you held down the trigger, the gun would only fire at certain intervals based off of where the propeller was in its rotation.
Certain planes in ww2 had them yes but it was more common In ww1 and if I remember right the Germans made a firing interrupter for when the prop was in the way of the gun and the French had a guy try putting metal on the back of the prop he died
That's exactly how it worked. That mechanism gave birth to the fighter planes as we know them.
Yeah, and it was done that way to prevent the bullets from damaging the propeller. Because, spoiler propellers are not bulletproof.
Was invented during WWI.

I'm a retard that can't not say hi to another fur- sooooo hello, I'm a manokit-
Couldn’t take my eyes off him 🤣
How lucky we are that no one responsible for making this video has heard of the synchronization gear so they would risk their lives to make a highly entertaining video about a question that was answered over a hundred years ago.
Hey , just wanna say I love you as a person. Been watching your videos since I was 16 and your fun energy while being able to do a good job is something I’ve always admired. Keep going strong 💪
I love this channel. No one has dumber ideas than mat! Looking at you mr indoor living room steel target range... another banger. Keep making em and we'll keep watching em.
If the van has an open differential in the rear axle, you can lock the brake on one side, and the other side will spin at twice the RPM. That could help it shift gears and spin stupid fast!
Yes. Also put it in max gear, probably don’t need that much torque
Not twice the RPM- would still be the same rotational speed, but yes to all the torque to the 1 wheel.
@@micahmcg04 Yes, it would be twice the RPM. In an open differential, with the ring gear stationary, turning one wheel clockwise will cause the other wheel to turn counter-clockwise. So, if the ring gear is now turning and one wheel is locked, the only option is that the other wheel spins at twice the RPM.
@@JayRussellDuramax My man- Do some differential research. Spider gears- that allow the slippage for going around corners- is why the other wheel will turn backwards when picked up at the pumpkin and spinning a wheel. Every been caught in the snow- and lost traction to 1 tire? It's not spinning 2x as fast- that's just where the power went- because it can spin freely. Willing to debate with you more-
@micahmcg04 My man, you're the one who needs to research this because the very situation you described is a perfect example of what I said in my original post.
Yes, I have been stuck in snow, and when one wheel is stopped, the spider gears are still turning inside the differential carrier, so that's why the free wheel turns twice as fast. The RPM of the non-spinning wheel has to go somewhere. If you look at it from the original reference plane where the ring gear is stopped, turning one wheel will cause the other to turn backwards. If we shift the reference plane to having one wheel stopped, turning the ring gear will cause the free wheel to spin at twice the RPM. That's literally how differentials work... You can't magically make the RPM from the fixed wheel disappear.
When you turn a corner, the inside wheel turns slower than the outside wheel because the inside wheel is covering less distance. The spider gears allow the wheels to share RPM with each other when turning corners. If one wheel is completely stationary, it's like the vehicle is pivoting on that wheel, which means ALL of the RPM goes to the other wheel, thus doubling its RPM. It's basic mechanics.
Been watching this channel since the beginning. The good ole custom shotgun shells!
Que tiempos aquellos!!
Microwave Mondays to!
17:36 the spiders scrambling lmaoooooo
I am an A&P mechanic. This might be one of the more dangerous videos you have done. That said, I have seen an aluminum prop that caught a bullet. Put a copper nick in the leading edge of the blade. The pilot recalled noticing the plane felt a little rough, but it was hardly noticeable. He chalked it up to wind. It wasn’t until he landed that he realized there was a new scratch on his engine cowling and the blade deformation.
Never thought I’d see something like that. Btw, the blade damage was within repairable limits.
I'm such a big FAN of this idea, really got to give you PROPS for video. it's such a unique SPIN on the normal gun videos
Fun fact:
the "machine gun" mounted on a WWI biplane was actually semi automatic and used a trigger rod actuated by the engine's cam shaft to pull the trigger once for every second revolution (so the gun's rpm was directly tied to half the engine's rpm) to prevent pilots from accidentally shooting their own propellers.
The trigger the pilot used simply engaged a linkage connecting the engine to the gun.
This design (or something similar) was used on all fighter planes untill the guns got moved to the wings of the plane and could clear the propeller.
yes we know everyone knows this as evidenced by the 40 people who commented it lol
@@zachmoyer1849 yeah, I comment after the video but before I delved into the comments.
Ww1 pilots were instructed to say the magic word before firing the guns. Thus, the bullets avoided the blades. It's that simple. And the magic word was "eggplants" now you know.
I'm on another continent and I still took a step back. 13/10 sketch levels
The nod to the “ham”burger lady is nicely done.
Great content. This is why I subscribed to Demo Ranch awhile back.
He does reckless and dangerous things that firearm are not designed. Not a fan of this channel,
Thomas crook be like:
@@heresmytwocentsworth, if you're not a fan, why are you here? Just to hate?
The Answer is Gun, You can put a gun on a car and airplane.
You can put an airplane on a gun, too! A-10, BABY!!! BBRRRRRRRRRR
😂😂😂 good answer
Comment of the day!@@booshmcfadden7638
Just like the a10 warthog is just a big gun with wings we need just a big gun with wheels and a steat with a steering wheel hanging off the side. What is it? Its my new daily driver
@@TheAnnoyingBoss I mean isn't that basically what the Gustav gun was? Just had to have rail tracks for the wheels lol
Praise be to Demo for being our Sketchyness dealer and giving us our daily doses
I feel like the resort should be a gunner's amusement park, where people can go to shoot targets like airplane propellers bolted to old cars and crazy things like that. Seems TOTALLY safe.
this is by far the cooolest video ever dude the side shot of demo shooting while propeller is at full blast looked so bad asss
i love the douuble meaning of " simply safe" when this is definitely not simply safe. Well played Matt, well played.
In WWI. the idea of shooting forward through the blades of the propeller for the airplane became a problem. The fixed the problem with a synchronizer so that the gun would shoot between the blades, not physically through the blades.
Don't forget the other solution people came up with, where they literally just put armor steel plates on the prop so that the bullets would ricochet in random directions and hopefully not back at the pilot or anything structurally important on the plane.
I'm pretty sure machine guns on airplanes run a cam off the crank, so that would time the machine gun to make hitting the prop almost impossible.
@xfrobie9773
Yes, that was one of the early attempts to shoot through the propeller! It didn't work very well as I remember.
@@mahbriggsyou were there!?
Fun fact. The propeller synchro was a German invention. Only after a German plane was recovered did the allies start doing the same.
Sketchy is putting it lightly
Hello Matt, yes it can as the biplane days, they had to develope a interruption link that would stop the gun from firing when the blade is in front of the gun barrel, because they chewed up the propellers while testing causing crashes...🤔 Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 😇🙏👊
Honestly, the first half of the video was the best!
Matt you were great in Tires! ❤ Can't wait to see you in season 2! 🎉
Prop. Planes only fly by Displacing the air in front of them. If you feel wind pushing you away from the front of the prop, it is Reversed. Glad to see you and yours are still alive....
If it was on properly it would suck things in too. Better to have it in reverse.
Yep! They needed it in reverse
Props can be in push or pull configurations. All depends on the aircraft. For example the Cessna sky master has both.
Matt just shooting the breeze.
I loved the I tried to pet the fan joke
Those axel bearings and one clip saved your life dude.
Matt. Great video. Lot of fun. You are so desensitized about spiders, from the caves, at the end of the video there was a spider the size of my hand walking along the entire top of the glass on the block wall window. Lol
14:26 with a big ass smile like that? How could you resist?!😂
This is why I watch this channel
That spider on the glass is fighting for his life...
Twisted Metal eat your heart out 😂😂
9:06 I am fucking dying lololol
"...I tried to pet the fan."
Well done Matt, now your target looks like Megamind.. (15:20) 😂
Pinned and welded....proceeds to take pin welded suppressor off 🤣
The muzzle brake is pinned and welded. Not the suppressor
Best youtuber ever ❤
Well isn’t a propeller spinning the other way when attached to a plane. It shouldn’t be blowing sand at you rather than sucking it away from you?
It's safer this way. When de propeller should come off, it's going towards the van instead of going to the people
Now THAT was FUN!!!
Had me howling,
"3, 2, 1, CONTACT!"
4:36 idk when i saw matt THAT proud last time 😂
The first airplanes tended to literally shoot their propellers off... they tried all sorts of dumb things to avoid it including.... armoring the backs of them which... lead to a lot of weird ricochets as youd imagine...until they finally designed a trigger interrupter for when the blade was in front of the barrel
Imagine Matt doing a durability test on Tesla truck
I’d love to see that!
Might have to change your logo boss 😬
This has got to be one of the funniest videos you have made in a long time. It’s also to me in the top ten best ever. I don’t think I stopped laughing the entire time.
Thank you guys for such great content 👍👍👍
“Pinned and welded” means the suppressor cannot come off, and prevents needing a SBR tax stamp. You shouldn’t address the length of the barrel, and then immediately admit to breaking the law…
18:02 aged well
not the same shirt but we get it
Bro?? Are you alive 🤔. I been coming to TH-cam every day for a week expecting to see a new video and everytime I see nothing but disappointment, heartbreak and crushed hopes and dreams. FML.
The jump cut to the Jenga blocks under the van made me laugh fr 😂
It was at that moment I became worried 3:40 🤦♂️ Matt says he got a New Airplane Wing 😂
Who else just came to read the comments
Why are we eleven minutes in before we’ve pulled a trigger?
I really dislike that now that he has a ton of money he doesn’t care as much about this channel anymore the videos are short as in actual content he skips calibers like I do punctuation videos just simply suck now
I agree! I’ve been watching demo ranch for years and the old videos were so much better. I hate to say but I enjoy when the TH-cam channels are small, like they are hungry and care about content. Don’t get me wrong I’m glad Matt has made it and all but it’s just not like it used to be
Or maybe he's so busy with the resort that he has no extra time, but he cares so much about this channel that he still squeezes in just enough time to shoot one
That's anyone's objective, this is fun for him, not a chore, go do yours
@Sneakdisscommentbelow it's not fun for him you can see it. He doesn't seem into anymore. As someone else said he's to worried about the resort.👌🖕
So I’ve been a viewer from the glow sticks in the microwave episode over ten years ago. And I still want to see you review 7.62x54r spam can ammo (steel ball) against steal targets. A real penetration test. Me and the kids love watching. Keep up the good work.
I like the fact that the most ironic thing ever is seeing SimpliSafe sponsoring videos of Matt doing the opposite of safe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Big fans of the content, keep up the great videos!
"We're probably not going to shoot unless it seems, safish" LoL you guys are great
Hello there,how are you doing today!God bless you!!!
Happy Father’s Day ❤
We're never upset with your content! Thanks :)

Spiders on the window: WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING
Amazing! As an aircraft mechanic who works on props, I've always wanted to see lots of different things thrown into them, like whole chickens, watermelons, wood planks, etc. Looking forward to some destruction next time!!
When they first started mounting machine guns on aircraft in WW1, they were mounted outside the arc of the propeller, usually on top of the upper wing.
Anthony Fokker developed the interrupter gear that stopped the gun from firing when the propeller was in the path of the bullet. He mounted it on the Eindecker monoplane and made history with it.
4:28 Without explanation I would think you were trying to make a helicopter in a very stupid way 🤣
Thank you for doing my ideas since a few years
Matt, you should invent a mechanism that allows fighter planes to fire their machine guns through their propellers without hitting them. You would be immortalized in the history books.
Already a thing bud
17:40 ayo I have arachnophobia, I saw the spiders and thought it was on my phone screen and i panicked a little 😂😩
This is one of my best videos ever!!! Well done 👏. I’m so happy I’m subscribed to this channel 😊
Even the 2 small spiders behind the protection glass at the end of the video were afraid of being hit by schapnol and recoil from the cartridges.😂
That look on his wife's face at 4:43 is priceless.
17:55 It's like the first note of taps is playing for that poor van😅
Been here since the beginning since vet ranch. The nostalgia in this video!!!!!
