A video that allows you to experience the power of impact shot in slow motion with a huge rifle aimed at defeating Tyrannosaurus



The Slow Mo Guys , a YouTube channel that posts videos of various events in slow motion, has collaborated with Kentucky Ballistics , a YouTube channel that posts firearms-related videos, to develop a bullet that can defeat Tyrannosaurus. I am shooting in slow motion how to shoot a huge rifle bullet ' .577 Tyrannosaur (.577 Tyrannosaurus)'.

Elephant Rifle Annihilates Ballistic Gel at 82,000FPS-The Slow Mo Guys @ KentuckyBallistics-YouTube


From the left, Gavin Free of The Slow Mo Guys, Daniel Grouchy , and Scott of Kentucky Ballistics appeared.



Mr. Scott has a standard military rifle bullet,

5.56x45mm NATO bullet (warhead weight: 55 grains).



However, rifle bullets come in different sizes. I will use the largest size '.577 Tyrannosaurus' this time. There is no doubt that it is a ridiculous power because it is a bullet thicker than Scott's index finger.



577 Trying to shoot a rifle smaller than Tyrannosaurus. First up is

the .375 H&H Magnum (350 grain).



.460 Weatherby Magnum (500 grain)



.500 Nitro Express (570 grain)



.600 Nitro Epress (900 grain)



Mr. Grouchy expresses the impact when firing the .600 Nitro Epress with a front kick.



Finally, I will use .577 Tyrannosaurus (750 grain). ``I think that ripples will spread all over the body after the launch due to the impact,'' said Mr. Grouchy, who took off his clothes to take a picture of the situation.



That's why I shoot at once.



From here it will switch to the image taken at the moment of launch with slow motion of 1000 fps.



Although you can see that the impact at the time of launch is tremendous when viewed from the right side, it is difficult to understand other than that.



However, if you shoot the moment of launch from behind, you can see how the impact spreads throughout the body.



After launching, the impact transmitted from the shoulder to the body causes the fat on the surface of the body to ripple.

firing




You can see that the smoke and flames coming out of the muzzle extend a considerable distance.



This is the warhead part of .577 Tyrannosaurus. It's pretty huge.



Ballistic gel, also known as ballistic gelatin, was prepared to check the movement of this warhead. It seems that the length is about 16 inches (40.64 cm).



Line up two of these ballistic gels and shoot a .577 Tyrannosaurus here.



The state of shooting the moment of launch at 100 fps is as follows.



The moment the bullet enters the ballistic gel, the gel block transforms into a ridiculous shape on impact.





Next, slow motion video shot at 82,000 fps.



The moment the bullet touches the gel, it glows brightly.



A bullet that moves smoothly through the gel.



The moment the bullet touches the second ballistic gel, it flashes again.



It will penetrate the two ballistic gels as it is, but the trajectory will gradually swell.



burning flame




The flame is swallowed in the ballistic gel.



Although the flames calm down, the impact that spreads throughout the ballistic gel still seems to have not subsided, and it continues to change shape like a living creature.




The trajectory speed is 1343 mph (about 2160 km / h) before entering the ballistic gel.



The moment it entered the ballistic gel was 1316 mph (about 2120 km/h).



1161 mph (about 1870 km / h) when moving one ballistic gel.



1015 mph (about 1630 km / h) when moving to the middle of the second ballistic gel



It is 869 mph (about 1400 km / h) when it penetrates two ballistic gels.



577 Tyrannosaurus rex

soft point bullets (bullets with exposed lead at the tip of the bullet) are then used to shoot the ballistic gel.



The first ballistic gel penetrated cleanly.



However, the second ballistic gel could not be penetrated and the bullet remained in the gel.



The bullet taken out of the ballistic gel looks like this.



The moment of launch is as follows.



Ballistic gel glows orange and expands.



It swells into a ridiculous shape.



After bouncing around, it returns to the original cuboid.



Below is a slow motion video shot at a high frame rate of 82,000 fps.



A bullet penetrates the ballistic gel.



The trajectory traveling through ballistic gel is clearly different.



The trajectory part is clearly swollen than the normal bullet, and it seems to explode at any moment.



The flame is swallowed in the ballistic gel at a fairly early stage.



It's like you don't know what's going on with the ballistic gel on the right anymore.



The bullet is on the verge of penetrating the second ballistic gel.




The flame will also gradually subside.




A ballistic gel that bounces around. Even though the shape has changed so much, it returns to the original rectangular parallelepiped cleanly.




A comparison of how a normal bullet (top) and a soft point bullet (bottom) progress through the ballistic gel is as follows.



Unlike normal bullets, soft point bullets have an exposed tip. Therefore, when it hits the human body, it can expand and cause a wound larger than the diameter of the bullet. Perhaps because of this characteristic, the trajectory remaining in the ballistic gel starts to expand clearly faster with soft point bullets than with normal bullets.




The size of the flame is also an order of magnitude difference.




The impact transmitted to the ballistic gel seems to be greater with the soft point bullet, showing a tremendous change in the shape of the gel.




The bullets actually shot into the ballistic gel are as follows. The one on the left is a normal bullet, and the one on the right is a soft point bullet.
