today we're going to be shooting Prince
Rupert drops out of a shotgun and even
essence and smarter every day asked us
to do this
hi this is Jeff of calculator mouth
I've been planning to shoot Prince
Rupert drops for probably six months and
here i am making some of them now these
are made by heating up a glass rod with
a torch dropped into water and it
creates these things the outside of the
glass cools much quicker than the inside
and it creates a strong compressive
course that makes these things extremely
strong now we can actually see the
internal stresses of this it's very
complex when viewed using a polarized
filter so how do you shoot something
like this out of a shotgun and be able
to see it with the high-speed cameras i
simply colored a red using a red sharpie
pen and in order to shoot these out of a
shock and I had a loaded backwards with
the tail facing forward
let's see with it works or not alright
welcome back to another episode of the
template mouse channel for today based
on your request we are shooting the
Prince Rupert's drop shelties hardened
last drop in the water color them with a
little bit of red so that hopefully we
can see them going downrange you've got
a little break in the air from the US
Navy has to spend it all operations just
for us so we're going to go ahead and
load these up and see how they work
they're unbelievably light so we don't
think they're going to go very far
so we started with a pretty short
distance here so thick cock is going to
be wearing his best down there and we'll
see what they do
he shot one hit
holy crap everything happened itself
sort of us should mark Repp we started
out with the smallest Prince Rupert's
drop and it did hit the best it was hard
to tell where we shoot it but as you can
see it didn't even break when it hit
this was a little larger will feel that
works out not decide Jeff okay shoot
we'll shoot a steel plate stainless
steel actually we get a break action 100
or pre-owned there Mike
alright stainless steel play anytime I
don't get on either the shadow now you
can see why I colored the Prince
Rupert's drop all gred because with all
that other junk line in the air would
have been hard to distinguish what was
going on but as you can see him that
real heart stainless steel surface it
was definitely enough force that just
shattered the Prince Rupert's drop to do
just super fine dust
k lipstick del gummy bear on the nose to
hit that one I think that one miss you
know hit it now as you can see these
things were not very predictable in
their flight little tail probably
influenced them in a certain way so we
had a couple mrs. will show up anyway
haha like those very weak this one did
it because the ballistic gel gummy bear
didn't stick in it didn't have a whole
lot of velocity that it fell stop the
gummy bear basically landed back by our
feet again
it's slightly larger Prince Rupert's
drop okay I'm ready
there we go a little more popular also
finally we had a good shot it had a
little higher velocity this time
look at that thing just going to
disappear into that ballistic gel pretty
cool
be careful getting things are really
sure so I payment for the tip of his
nose all together with any particular
note and I'm feeling around here there's
actually a piece of the table glasses
because I almost read the tale that your
finger this year it's just so slick and
it's okay because it would look at the
different graphic folks graphic dummies
violence is something there it is
order then gummy bear gentleman
completely intact though
ya see ya didn't shatter what it is look
at the Barclay with the biggest one
strike
ok already haha remove it truly tosh.0
right in the mouth odd you can see that
the Christians were dressed like a
little wet on the computer that trainers
they put a lot in a pretty good to go
through it didn't go through
don't please don't know why don't you
get in there you could like life it open
or whatever like like being outdoors
mine
yeah get out early going to ruin your
night and gold I tell you once you're
quite hard
so again just like that last one he's
got a min cat put stuff so what's the
conclusion here they are not home
defense around haha all the youtubers
that think that we're out here always
testing out the ultimate home defense
around know a lot of times these are
just for fun we're just trying to see
what things will do when shot out of a
second so we prescribe was fun but no
you're not going to use it on bad guys
in your house hit it and you're not
going to use it in war either
no it's not a violation of the you need
about before the hague convention this
week just to be clear on that we're not
going to take them into a world war one
we've consulted the top layer mask
attorneys and it turns out that these
are not in violation we get a close-up
of that
there you go stronger than dirt now I
didn't think these would even survive
the shock of being shot out of the gun I
thought they'd just be dust coming out
the barrel so it was a surprise me that
they not only survived that but also
survived impacting all these targets
do
there you go ahead pick whatever slug
victim
