Hey guys so you might remember a while ago we teased a potential project that we might do
Mail's here! Its ar500 we're making the frying pan from PUBG
The bulletproof frying pan from PUBG Mobile which is why I'm super excited to
tell you that PUBG Mobile reached out and offered to sponsor this project
which means we're making the bulletproof frying pan from PUBG mobile use my link
in the description below to download the official PUBG on mobile game and if you
add my gamertag ZeHackSmith you have a chance to play with me when I'm
not working on projects. There's even a new mode called arcade mode which
features only 28 players and one of six variations: shotguns only, sniper rifles only,
all weapons, melee only, pistols only and finally item heaven. For a mobile
game the graphics are incredible utilizing the Unreal Engine plus you
can use voice chat to talk with your team during play and we're actually doing a
giveaway this video but more info on that later now the real question is is a
regular old american-made frying pan bulletproof as is we're going to go to
the range and find out
blasted holes right through it look at this is crazy
so yeah regular cast-iron frying pans not bulletproof at all the 9 mil just
shredded this after shooting it a few times
that's because cast iron's super hard but it's also super brittle which means it's
really gonna explode now for us to make an actual bulletproof frying pan we're
gonna have to use a bit of a better material so let's head back to the shop
and see what we can come up with
Well that was easy now it should be bulletproof but let's make some more
we're using our maverick CNC plasma cutter that we got from Elite Metal Tools
and we'll be using it to cut out some more armor plates to make a few more
pans let's get started
hmm these turned out a bit smaller than expected but you know what that means
we're gonna give them away for your chance to win a mini PUBG frying pan
all you have to do is download the game using my links in the description below
once you download the game add my gamertag ZeHacksmith so maybe we can
play together and then take a screenshot you playing the game tweet or Instagram
post the screen shot @PUBGmobile and #hacksmithPUBG to enter the
contest will be giving away three of these pans for full contest details check out the description below.
Alright, who hasn't hit ready? Riley, get off your phone
But in the meantime let's see if this thing's pellet proof
Not bad, but this is just a toy let's go to the range and actually test the real pan with real guns!
what... you thought we were done?
all right we're back at the range and we've got our ... how am I supposed to take this off?
hopefully bullet proof frying pan now
with an AR 500 1/2 inch steel plate on the back let's see what guns do to this
let's get shooting we're gonna be using the same 9 mil to
see if our bulletproof pan is in fact bulletproof
let's see if that did anything, NOPE well you can almost feel something right there
but in general still pretty smooth you know this means we're going to need a
bigger gun alright so before we get the rifles out let's try a 357 Magnum
no it's not through it's just shiny alright how about a 223
Was that dead center? That was dead center right so it's definitely possible to make a
bulletproof frying pan like shown in PUBG and all you'd have to do is make it
out of a AR500 steel unfortunately it would be a bit tricky to do that which is why we
actually just took a regular frying pan and welded the AR500 plate on to it
the problem is you can't really weld to the cast iron in fact if you look at this
the entire weld bead stayed with the plate and just ripped right off the pan
you can see that just barely even penetrated into the metal so I'm not
a material scientist but cast iron it its composition is a lot different than
steel which is what makes it difficult to weld it to steel so originally we
were actually planning on putting a few bolts in to actually bolt it to it which
I guess we probably should have done though those could have also caused
stress concentrations and maybe even caused the cast iron to shatter behind
the plate I'm not too sure but anyway let's see how strong this AR500 is
we're gonna unload a few more guns on it and confirm that it is fully bulletproof
now look at the damage to our shroud there's literally pieces of metal
shrapnel embedded in the wood look at that that's a piece of a bullet right there
alright so that was awesome but for the last shot of the day we're gonna get a
shotgun and see if we can completely destroy the original pan
I've never shot a shotgun before so this should be fun
damn well there you have it it is possible to make a bulletproof frying
pan using AR500 steel let us know what you thought about the project in the
comments below to me it kind of felt more like a Mythbusters style episode
and I think that's kind of cool if you guys want to help support the channel
and ensure we can keep doing cool projects and videos like this

plus for your chance to win a mini frying pan and some other Hacksmith swag the contest details are also in the description below good luck and thanks
for watching don't forget to add my gamertag but I'm gonna win
