50 Cal Explosive Bullets vs Torso

"This guy now has a curvature in his spine." And the VA will still be like, 'not service related.'

Saw an interview with an Army sniper talking about his work in Iraq and specifically about the effectiveness of the M107. He said he and his spotter had set up on a rooftop covering a residential area known to be harboring insurgents. He told the story of a long night taking targets of opportunity until they started taking fire from another rooftop. The shooter was taking cover behind a block wall and popping out to harass the sniper team. The team was out of standard ball ammo for the .50 so he loaded up with the only ammo he had, the raufoss and they waited. Eventually the insurgent took a shot and ducked behind the block wall. The sniper aimed at where he guessed he would be crouching behind the wall and sent a raufoss round. He said the round made a nice clean hole in the front of the wall, but the other side of the patio 10 feet away was splashed with gore. When they eventually made their way over to confirm the kill, the body was gone, but the back of the block was just obliterated with a large area missing and blood spray everywhere. He figured the round had detonated inside the block and turned the brick and concrete into a huge shotgun shell and shredded the insurgent.

I love the quick “fuck” when the plane was flying over lol

I appreciate you moving the rifle before heading downrange. If someone cant be responsible at this level, they shouldnt be trusted with a gun! Love it

When speaking about .50 rounds, "didn't do anything" takes on a new meaning. It no longer means that the round was ineffective, it simply means that it killed the target, but not in a particularly cool or exciting way.

Rumor has it Dr. Thumb has been banned from practicing medicine in New Jersey

Comparing this channel now to what is was in the beginning is the literal personification of what you become after being handed a dd214 and I love every second of it. Outstanding work boys.

I'm from Kentucky and I rolled when you said "I don't know if it's the lack of education or what is". By golly, we may not know our times table, but we make some killer .50 ammunition. 😂

"I failed out of medical school so that makes me a doctor in NJ" is actually a 100% accurate statement for those of you that don't live there.

GT: "What is my science experience? Well, for one, I have a lab coat on." Me: "Seems legit enough."

I can attest that there is a large percentage of post PL 1LTs, pre career course and soon to ETS CPTs who are EXACTLY like Dr GarandThumb. This isnt a bad thing. They bring a element of reality and humor to the situation.

“Is he alive?” “No he’s hella dead!” 😂

When Garandthumb is wearing a lab coat, you know that he is definitely qualified to do these scientific tests

5:10 the setup 5:28 M33 660 gr ball 9:17 "spicy candy corn" 13:38 spicy candy corn #2 w/ lv3 armor duct taped to the BACK of dummy, both armor and dummy trashed 18:55 Raufoss Mk 211 on dummy #2 21:36 Raufoss #2 w/ lv4 armor duct taped to the FRONT of dummy 23:24 Raufoss #3 through a car door, ripped shoulder off dummy

The intro alone always deserves a like from me. So well done gents.

Id love to see bofors 40mm vs Human torso, but getting your hands on one of those may be a bit more interesting. Thanks for the great videos as always Garand Thumb

They say “never trust a doctor with a clean coat” that’s why I choose Garandthumb to be my GP

I have used your “spicy candy corn” rounds in the Army. The way the real military ones work is a bit different, more like a fire piston, where deformation of the round creates extreme temperatures and shock. I didn’t think they would work on the dummy at all. Apparently the spine or rib was enough. This was amazing!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you're friend said you could survive a 50 cal.

I love the hint of humour that constantly floats in the air in all your videos XD
