When you throw a lump of metal at a very sharp piece of metal, the sharp piece of metal wins. You can't see it with your eyeball, but thankfully Gav and Dan are here.

  • I would just like to mention that I appreciate the time Gavin takes to talk about his camera equipment and speeds. Don't really know what it means but I appreciate it nevertheless
  • @SerPurple51
    The way Dan immediately asks Gavin if he was ok after Gavin said he got hit was a great display of their friendship and Dan's army experience too.
  • @7characters
    "That was a lovely shot." "Thank you." "And well done for your shot." "Thank you, thank you, Daniel." Haha, the British politeness made me lol
  • @than217
    NASA: "We were able to land a rover on Mars." Yeah? Well Daniel was able to shoot two balloons with a BB being cut in half by a knife on the first shot by just eyeballing it.
  • @nikochapas1
    The bullet split almost as satisfyingly as the wood in Aladdin
  • @deepee918
    Dan's jacket deteriorates like the title each season for TWD
  • @nymalous3428
    My favorite part is when Dan explains why he is using two different colored balloons. Why? It shows a little bit about how difficult these videos can be to make and some of the creative solutions these guys use to deal with problems we don't usually get to see. Nice work, guys!
  • @ZeugmaP
    This is one the best channels on youtube : over 9 million subs and these guys are still genuine, no clickbait videos or oversized ego, and the videos are always interesting to watch, sponsored videos included. Keep up the good work !
  • @Holmesy87
    I often forget that the slow-mo cameras don't record sound, Gavin's editing is bloody good ^.^
  • "weak at the rim" I've never heard such beautiful language describing the resistance of a balloon to being blown up
  • I love how gavs like. Hey you want a whole face protection b? And Dan s like Yeah alright. It's just so damn casual now it's great
  • @morgangobin6550
    I'm always amazed at how good Dans' aim is. He can repeatedly shoot a bullet so that it hits a knife blade and splits it in half. That boggles my mind!
  • @theslowmoguys
    New SLOW MO GUYS video that's riiiiight! I need an airhorn emoji.
  • @eliys5982
    I love at 1:56 how Dan got worried bout Gav getting hurt, so adorable (idontship idontship idontship okayido)
  • @northbaseuk882
    Guys I have a challenge for you. Get a big industrial fan and film a parachute opening. It's something I've wanted to see for a very long time and I know almost every skydiver out there would love to see what really happens to their kit, and perhaps we could try and induce some common malfunctions that occur all in the name of science. My friend and I have a lot of old skydive kit we would be willing to lend you to use. We are both certified skydivers and advanced packers and would love it if you could consider doing this.
  • @FBI-ov7lb
    This sounds reckless and dangerous. I approve.
  • @22plinkster
    Wow! Thanks for the shout out! We need to work together soon and break the internet!
  • @nickl8481
    Such a satisfactory sound when the pellet hits the blade...sounds like a laser....and then the money shot of the balloons bursting sychronistically..quality.
