they've come a long way, from slapping each other in the face to firing a tank
Maybe soon they are shooting each others faces with a tank.
@@davidqbs Actually exactly what I was thinking. Just before the first shot I had to pause the video and analyze his ear protection. Definitely should've had double protection with the tank!

I love Dan's reaction at 14:22 he's genuinely speechless but you can clearly see what he's thinking. "Duuude, did you see that? That thing went off course".
That's the moment he realized they missed the butts and the round (capable of travelling for miles) winged off into no man's land!

Yeah it was GORGEOUS
I agree
@@TheRobo I still prefer this shot. The Schlieren is cool but it's kinda cheating in a way, you can see a cough or a sneeze with it. The shockwave from the tank shell was visible without it, and that's cooler IMO.
I'm a VFX artist and I find your channel most helpful when looking for reference on every other project. Thank you very much for making my job easier
Since finding corridor crew, I can't stop seeing how applicable all these videos can be ~~ they've even done shots on black backgrounds from every angle. I do the music and audio end of it all, but am fascinated by y'all's side
Awesome! I can totally agree as an amateur vfx artist
Lol bro what even are u thinking to make!?
@@UR1ZEN BOMBS, EXPLOSIONS, WAR.
I'm also a vfx artist, love this channel but, it shows us how fake the real thinks look like... I mean the cracked glass video looks like they animate a mask without feather of texture map, the same here with the "bullet" oscillation... if we do the exact same thing, the director or the supervisor will say "sorry guy, looks fake!"
I love it, it's a fun thing, same for a simple smoke rising up, there is a dark mate line around in real life, for vfx, not good hahahah
The line "Today, we're in Uvalde" while riding a tank hits a little different now.
And the line "the world's biggest gun in private ownership is here" tells us something about Texan attitudes to weaponry.
Had this exact thought. I don't think you need to tell us where Uvalde is now, Gav. The whole world knows.
@@AutPen38 Well, it is no longer. Go ask ukrainian farmers.
@@1001digital Those are the property of the Ukrainian army technically, much to the dismay of the farmers. I heard one guy was rather miffed when they came over to pick them up, he was hoping to hoard at least one of them.

Phly, now we have to see YOU go out there and fire the D-20. Now you can imagine what the explosion is like from the KV-2
Phly daily is here omg I'm glad the ww2 buffs are all coming out to play
I did naaht....Oh hi Phly.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow, TankDaily is here. Now they need to move the Sherman in front of that gun, or a less unrealistically, use high explosive rounds on a target.
Seeing the visible shockwave is so intense. Ballistics are amazing
I think that was the coolest part! That, and the watermelon deflection.
Get the SloMo guys some giant scheilren(?) mirrors!
That shell wobbled way more than I expected it to.
Now, calculate the speed of the round from the angle of the shockwave.
@@OsamaRana I don't have a handy dandy protractor but the looks about 45° so the speed is Mach 1.414
Edit: Nevermind that doesn't look right.
So glad I was warned about the product placement here. Otherwise I think I may have been unduly influenced into buying a Sherman tank over its competitors! This way, I can keep my tank research neutral, looking only at the specs of each tank rather than relying on the emotional attachment this video may have produced
It is a pretty good tank tbf

you mean buying melons?
The AD was for Specialised Imaging Inc. not for the range/tank tho.
@@hungryhedgehog4201 experienced?

8:23 that shockwave is one of the most amazing things I‘ve ever seen.
?
You can even see a third wave line fall out of frame :D
It’s funny because at the beginning you see the explosion’s shockwave (round) and then it gets outrunned by the shell’s shockwave (cone)
@@hallopeepz yeah i noticed too, i think its the blast wave from the gun, the front and aft wave on the shell are the supersonic waves because its going supersonic. If you look closely, you can even see some more smaller shocwaves in between the front and aft wave, those are from the shape, so the things that are sticking out (dont know what they are called) also give some shockwaves.( its best noticable with the blue sky as background)
Humans were never meant to see that. My jaw fkg dropped.
Imagine that one photon that came out the sun, travelled 8 minutes, came into the earths atmosphere, hit a wwII tanks' shell flying through the air, bounced off, hit a spinning mirror, went into the camera lens, and was absorbed by the sensor which was only open for about 1/57,000 of a second because of the camera's shutter
Captain America Not to mention the 100,000 years it takes that photon to make its way from the Sun’s core to the photosphere where it finally begins said 8-minute earthward journey.
Dope!
@Roger Dodger Yeah, exactly. Time is relative and at light speed time is not really relevant.
@@PartialViewmusic It depends on the observer

I never would have guessed that filming things in super slow motion is an art. Brilliant guys.
I was 16 yrs old and deer hunting with my father. It was raining and it was almost ready to snow.
The drops of rain were like a fine mist.
A nice buck stepped out an I fired first followed by dad's shot. I swear it was like traced from the tip of the barrel to impact. Each drop of rain exploded as the bullet traveled through the air. It was awesome!
Thought I would share cause that was 50 yrs ago.
thats very cool. hunting must be full of amazing wonders like that out in nature
Okay I want to see this in slow motion now.
That shell tracking is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
Quality content right there 👌🏻
Yup, awesome
I love that the footage looks like 80s CGI. If you didn't tell someone this was real I bet they would think it was CG.
The Navy uses the same rigs to track the rounds from the rail guns. That is some crazy fun footage. You think this tank is powerful?
Militaries have been doing it for a while. Some cool footage from the 80s if I’m remembering right

@@RenniaTrayvold In the 20th century actually
I watched this when it first came out and have come back to re-watch it a dozen or so times since and it gets better every single time. Absolutely amazing footage. Well done Gavin and Daniel.
The speed of sound there is about 343 meters/second = 1125 feet/sec. At 2000 to 2500 feet/sec, the shell was going about Mach 2, twice the speed of sound. This results in a significant sonic boom wave. And the light going through that wave is refracted by the different densities of the air in the different parts of the shock wave. Fun, thanks.
Not impressed with wabble and then yaw of the Sherman tank shell so I would like to compare it with a 75 mm Panzer 4 shell ! I would expect an almost perfect flight !
@@oceanhome2023 Interesting, thanks.
The sonic boom is caused by cavitation or atmosphere being pushed away and then collapse back in on itself to fill the void. Whats interesting is that the wave stayed a cheveron shape even when yawing out of control
@@off6848 that's a good non-technical description of nonlinear hydrodynamics.

Now i know why a tank shell shot at angled armour sometimes got deflected...
@@calvinnyala9580 Angling increases the effective thickness of the armour, which is why it will make penetrating it harder

Those mirror tracking shots were incredible. I realise it's just software doing its thing, but the concept of turning that mirror so quickly yet with such precision is blowing my mind. The entire thing happens in a fraction of a second and it managed to perfectly track the round. 🤯
13:42 that sound he heard was the sound of the shell spinning off into the sunset, kinda sounds like a mini helicopter 😂
Wow 😮

Did you know that Forgotten Weapons did an almost hour long vijayo with this exact tank? In the same place. They fired all the guns.
Dan's laugh after he fired that massive 152MM is pure gold lol, you know he's just thinking "yeah i done that"
May 28th 2022: (First line of the video)
Uvalde: Oof
I did not expect that result as well, but in hindsight, it makes sense
The water melons are, after all, mostly water.
Water is kind of good at stopping high speed objects (i believe there are videos of bullets shot into pool/barrel/something watery.
And if you don't aim dead center (i.e. there is slightly less resistance on the top than on the bottom because you hit the top half of the melon), it's gonna deflect
Its because of volume. If you had a 75mm thick tin plate filled with water it would pass through the thing about firing into a pool is that the volume of water in a standard 6 foot kiddie pool would equate to passing thru 2 meters of armor. Its not that water is great at deflecting its just that 2 meters volume of any material is very hard to penetrate
remember when you popped balloons? now you have a tank. this makes me happy
Weirdly enough i still find the baloon episodes and older episodes better than newer ones even with a tank involved
"This put a smile on my face."
This is an insane resource for aerodynamics !
I'm sure Destin from SmarterEveryDay would drool over the shockwaves at 8:20
exactly what i was thinking. its like the Schlieren set-up but in full color
I think demoranch did a video with this very tank and setting.
@@TheOnlyInformant I was thinking the same thing.
@@SaraBearRawr0312 so was i
Sure he does, but I think he also did a video with that quick turning mirror before.
Me: 'Oh look, more Slow Mo Guys content!'
Video: *Set in Uvalde, TX*
Me: Oof...
My thoughts exactly when I heard it
Mark Rober should do the largest block of ballistics gel and catch one of these rounds and have The Slow Mo Guys film it in a collaboration video. That would be epic.
8:30 the "V" that you see are the Mach lines, that typically appear on edges of objects moving above the speed of sound. You can actually mesure the speed of the shell just by mesuring the angle of the V.
Can you do the same with geese?
@@strangelee4400 sure, a supersonic geese would kinda produce the same effect. However I'm not sure about its life status at this particular moment :p
I'm not sure if the fact the angle of the "V" appears to be getting more obtuse throughout that shot is because the round is decelerating or if it's just the angle of observation changing as the camera (mirror) tracks it.
@@dkcrogue Lower the speed, wider the angle, you are right. The shell looses speed but on that short of a distance, you wouldn't really see the effect on the angle. So yes i'd say that the angle of filming is playing a big role there
I think Destin at SED did a video on this very subject with some fancy camera tricks and of course .. slow motion :)
That was some of the sickest footage I've ever seen! PLEASE do this type of thing again! That tracking rig is insane!!
I know right.
not sure if possible, but i think it'd be nuts to see it with lightning
@@CoinRingsUSA Ya, but can it take on watermelons?
@@CoinRingsUSA Yup, that would be good. Reassembling the footage from a camera that was now in small pieces may be a bit more of a challenge!
TH-cam randomly put this episode in my feed a few days after the Uvalde School shooting, I couldn't believe it when they said where they were!
same here...
Me aswell, weird timing...
Yup, same here
Well... Everyone knows where Uvalde is now.
"Contains paid product placement" What, the tank?!
That's what I was wondering
The camera they used to track the shot
Probably because this is a TH-cam paid series.

Bruh…
@@slinkyexpert6905 ?

It's highly likely that the round got deflected because what you fired was a hollow training HE shell with no explosives, but which was not back-filled with an inert equivalent. If that was an actual HE or penetrator shell, it wouldn't even notice that the watermelons were there.
They did that probably to reduce wear and strain on a unique and extremely expensive gun, since there was very little recoil.
Also saves a TON of money on propellant. And lower pressures due to lower projectile weight would explain the large amount of unburned propellant.
@@schnozz2169 SU-152 and ISU-152.
Correct! Blue denotes a training round. It was not an HE or even a concrete slug. Usually the projectile mass of medium grade artillery is too much to notice melons. Another reason why they do not use HE is because the Department of Homeland Security does not think that any one person or small groups of persons should be handling explosives of that magnitude. Which is a shame because that would make for some amazing slomo footage. Mist that truck like the melons.
Justin Hingtgen that’s not quite how that works. Same projectile size does not at all mean same gun. The obj 268 did not have a k-20 on it. But it did indeed have a cannon that fired a 152mm projectile.
@@Your_Resident_Redleg Doh! I should've spotted it was blue!
Generally means training everywhere around the world, including where I live.

Underated comment
Hi
😂😂👌🏼
Fun fact: that somebody was Teddy Roosevelt (although it was his 50-page speech which he had folded twice along with metal glasses case, not just some index cards).
When the attempt occurred, he simply told the audience that he had been shot and went on to give a nearly 90-minute speech.
When he finally received medical care, doctors concluded that it would be safer leaving the bullet in rather than attempting to remove it, so he ended up carrying the bullet that was imbedded in him for the rest of his life.
On an unrelated note: Teddy died at the age of 60. He died in his sleep, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight.
would have been much more impressive if it was your great great grand-mother, know what I'm sayin?

"the biggest and most powerful private gun in the world"
~bullet gets deflected by a bunch of watermelons
Germany should have considered watermelon armor on their Tigers.
Was probably a hollowed out HE shell, so most of the weight was gone due to the lack of explosive filler.
Also watermelon: gets split in half by some rubber bands
@Platypus Artist when one attempts to describe scientific principals in an effort to show their intelligence, it's generally a good idea not to use pseudo words like "cuz" nor misspell simple words such as "dense".
Also, although you're technically correct, saying that "it was not watermelons that deflected it ( I'll leave out the comma you should've used at this point as I'm quoting you directly.) it was the water in the watermelons" is not exactly the intelligent, yet nuanced point I think you were attempting to make. Although that would make a great defense in court- " I didn't shoot him, I shot the water that makes up appx 60-65% of his body!" I'm pretty sure they'd call that a ridiculous premise.
" they didn't shoot that truck!, They shot the steel, rubber and aluminum that the truck is made of!"
" They didn't fire that artillery piece, They ignited the nitrocellulose thats contained in the shell, creating rapidly expanding gases which caused the projectile to fly downrange."
" They didn't video this in slow motion. they used cameras that take many images in a very short period of time. Which was then electronically stitched together to make a full motion image."
I think I made my point.
Alberto Brixus the shell was probably lightly filled with gun powder becouse its a overkill for shooting watermelons with a 152mm howitzer

This is one of the coolest things I've seen. That mirror tech makes all the difference.
My father was a tank commander in the New Zealand Division Armoured Regiment in Italy. They had the standard Shermans, with the 75-mm gun, which he said was a useful enough weapon, but the game changed when they started receiving Shermans with the Firefly conversion - the British 17-pounder anti-tank gun. They were very impressed with a gun that could destroy anything it was aimed at.
When they fired the 75 mm gun, they could stand outside the tank and observe the fall of shot, but the 17-pounder gun's muzzle blast was so colossal that they had to shelter inside the turret when it fired, or be standing further away from the tank than these slo-mo guys were. If they were firing at anything less than one thousand yards away it was impossible to spot the fall of shot because they were still flinching from the muzzle blast when the shot arrived at the other end.
Also the amount of dust and propellant fumes would make it incredibly difficult to see for a few moments, albeit it would make identifying where the shot came from incredibly simple. That and the astronomical flash from the shot as it was fired, the fire from said explosion is why it's called a firefly, because of the intense flames erupting from the barrel of the 17pdr.
@@ch4z_bucks If, when you comment on the "astronomical flash" and "intense flames" from the gun, you are basing your comment on the slow-motion video of the gun firing, it is useful to recognise that, at normal speed, such as when the slow-mo guy first fired the gun, the muzzle flash was so fast it was effectively invisible.
My father often spoke of the gun and its different aspects and he never once mentioned the muzzle flash as graphically as you have described it. Do you know for a fact that the "astronomical flash" was why it was called the Firefly?
In fact, I wonder if these slow-mo guys were actually firing full-power ammunition because, if they were, they would standing a lot further away from the tank. Look for a TH-cam video, titled, "Was The 17 Pounder the best allied Anti-Tank Gun in WW2?" There is a clip of the gun being fired and the muzzle blast is colossal - far more powerful than in this slow-mo exercise.
@@MarsFKA it was a rumour I heard for the name "firefly" I don't remember the specific source but it was something I had heard before I'd seen this video. I'd never questioned it (mistake on my part) as it made sense and I hadn't heard an alternative.

Beats not having earplugs though. Also, the ringing will stop when you die, so don't worry too much.
Let me just say how impressive some of the stuff you pull with these cameras is. Pretty much anyone would have packed up and left after losing the direct sunlight, that's just common sense. But you two just casually knew exactly what adjustments to make to make it possible to get one more shot in.
Not just any crew could have pulled that off, that takes skill born of long experience

Well, I AM inclined towards buying watermelons that could save my life from artillery bombardment, provided I buy a dozen or so of them.
the amazing thing is that shell never made direct contact with the c-stands. it was the force of the exploding melons that destroyed them.
Both shots compared: The sonic and kinetic energy oozing from that projectile caused the watermelons to blow up. By far, extremely awesome.
