It really puts into perspective of what canons through history did to people. Itâs awesome and terrifying all at once.

One of the greatest and most wanted collabs I'd say. So happy to see intense slow motion with the ridiculous nature of breaking things, match made in heaven.
What I was not expecting was the absolute brutality of seeing a bowling ball smash a skull into shards, I'm getting a headache just watching it smash them.

Imagine how many more troops an iron canonball might travel through before stopping. Imagine the terrain surrounding the cannons has been groomed to exactly match the ballistic path of the cannon balls. Balls deep.

Been waiting for this collab for many, many years. It did not disappoint. I always thought the Slow Mo guys and How Ridiculous would get on splendidly. Best friends forever!!!!

Now imagine being on a battlefield during the Napoleonic wars and having whole batteries of cannons firing high speed iron balls at you as you walk forward. This was a very good demonstration of why cannons make a mess of infantry formations.

Frame by frame at 4:23 you can see a flash when the bowling ball impacts the head!! I love that phenomenon

Pure Napoleonic realism level here!! Those battles were gruesome and yet so legendary! Now I have a better understanding of the ordeal Marshall Lannes had to face when he saw a good friend of his being literally decapitated by a cannonball, only to follow a similar fate when another cannonball ricocheted and destroyed his leg, eventually killing him after a sad, agonizing death...What a man!!
No wonder why the Emperor himself cried profusely the death of one his best friends/ Marshalls, but also one of the best military geniuses of all time!! RIP, brave Marshall Lannes!!

Gav, that editing for the repeat impacts w/ the speed dropping rapidly at 9:10 was SO GOOD.

It's hard to quantify just how gratifying that was to watch. Helps to imagine what the battlefields were like when humans had to sustained heavy cannon fire. Blood and body bits blown everywhere. That would have been far more gruesome and impossible to forget seeing.

Slo-mo guys have such good senses of humor. 10/10 wit.

So for those wondering:
400 mph is ~180 m/s. That's roughly how quickly a cannonball would be traveling mid-flight in the 18th and 19th centuries. The destruction is a good match for some period accounts too: There's a story of two French captains who hated each other. At the battle of Vellinghausen, a cannonball decapitated one man, and a piece of the skull put out the other captain's eye.
So seeing all those pieces scattered so far, just gives a sense of the destruction a cannonball can do.

There's Brett's knowledge of the human body, Gavs tech precision and Dan's explosive expertise. And Scott.

It's funny watching how different countries express humor. You guys are all funny, but in your own unique ways.

4:40 "It dropped an ollie" Can't believe that went unnoticed hahaha

I am just really happy that the slo mo guys are still pulling big numbers!

At 4:05 you've got the best representation of what an "investigative journalism" award looks like

This is about half the muzzle velocity of a standard Tudor naval cannon, and a bowling ball, not an iron ball. Imagine the devastation of a broadside at 50m from a ship with 50 cannons pointing at you. Brave men.

âOkay so hear me out, two Aussies and two Brits walk into a massive open field with a bowling ball canonâ đ

A decade later and Gav and Dan are still out here making "various explosions" lol
