Nothing that a compressed air cannon can't solve while Gav and Dan film it 4000 times slower than you can see.
Don't try this one at home. Dangerous and that.

Sometimes I forget that Dan is a weapons expert, then he goes and pulls off a shot like that after an eloquent explanation of the bullet type and I’m reminded.
-
It always surprises me that Dan is actually a properly trained weapons expert. He comes across as so goofy and aloof but as soon as sharp things or explosive things come out he is so serious about it
-
Everyone that regularly shoots knows how difficult that shot is with a pistol even at 10yds. Seriously good shooting by dan
-
The bullet getting annihilated against the Newton's Cradle at 100,000 FPS was so epic and surprising and then all the force pushed it away.
-
Gavin trying not to laugh at Dan’s “if they were perfectly hard balls” at 2:46
-
It is always something to remember that Dan is not only a professional punching bag, but also a trained and highly specialized soldier.
-
Gavs knowledge of cameras and slow mo paired with Dan’s knowledge about weapons and ammunition is just the perfect combination. I always find myself admiring Dan’s know how and respect for weapons and explosives
-
I love Gavin's so-easy-to-miss joke that he slides in at 11:23 right after Dan talks about how Newton would be "looking down on them" with pride. I see you, Gav.
-
You can always change the frame of reference and realize to the bullet's point of view it's being hit by five steel ball bearings that are traveling at the speed of sound.
-
I sometimes forget than Dan was in the army and actually knows what he's talking about. Also that ball bearing had 4x less energy than than the 9mm but had a much better transfer of energy, it's not all about power on paper
-
Dan's marksmanship is really impressive. Most don't understand how hard it is to make that shot.
-
The "missed shots" from the bullets were great to see in slow mo, the way the wood split was awesome.
-
Never get tired of Gav absolutely loving Dan's skill when it comes to his areas of expertise.
-
I love when Gav and Dan talk about things they're experts in. They do it so casually, but it's so much fun to watch, since they're so clueless otherwise.
-
I really liked watching the knot in the 4x4 redirect the bullet back up into the bottom of the cradle.
-
I’m so impressed with how accurate Dan is with a firearm, as well as safe, and respecting a dangerous apparatus 😊
-
"he's definitely got a smile on his face as he looks UP at us" smiles at the table I see you Gav! 😂
-
11:22 I love Gav’s smirk as he baits Dan with his “looks up on us” comment and Dan just missing it entirely 🤣
-
“I don’t know what I hit, I don’t think it was the balls, I think it was below the balls. - 8:27, favorite quote.
-
9:04 I really like how you can see the whole cradle kinda slightly stop in midair as the balls nylon strings no longer have slack and the force of both parts fight for a moment before giving way to the higher force.
