Bullets can skip off the surface of water in one millisecond. Gav and Dan have always been of the opinion that a millisecond is slightly too short so they whip out the slow mo camera and make it last 5 seconds. I wonder if any of the comments will be about how in America it's twenty two and not two two...

  • Dan genuinely might have the world record for "most panes of glass shot without breaking them"
  • @TimeIsMine93
    The fact Dan was able to reliably make that shot is incredible. That’s skill
  • I really appreciate the consistent and clear focus on professionalism and safety you guys bring to your videos. No cowboy nonsense with loaded guns.
  • @TaiiLuder
    I cannot emphasize enough how nice it is that you haven't become one of those "shouty" channels for 12 yo's. And also delivers great content with a perfect mix of guesstimations, science, humor and slow motion.
  • Can we just take a second and appreciate Dan's amazing marksmanship?
  • i love how at the beginning they were worried the tank would be one and done but by the end they were marveling at how many takes they were able to get lol
  • You have to appreciate how much this format could have been adapted or sold to a big streaming service (to be fair they did do a YouTube Red thing) yet it is still what it was in the beginning. Two blokes having a good time doing crazy slomo stuff
  • @UncleSheoTV
    8:13 “if stuff goes wrong, it still looks right” being said while Dan’s head is accidentally almost completely out of view is great
  • @goremaker244
    Honestly, I'm most impressed with Dan's accuracy. Aiming for a vague area at a shallow angle is much more difficult than aiming at a target
  • @mrbutcher4467
    The ground effect on the 22 bullets just before hitting the water was incredible. That the air can produce that effect in micro seconds is an amazing realization.
  • For years this channel and these two guys have made me smile, much love
  • I think this is the first time Dan & Gav fully went in expecting to break something, and ended up never actually breaking anything! Also I gotta say, the tracer round looked phenomenal in slow-mo.
  • Dan's ability to line things up exactly where Gav has focused is amazing. He nails it in every video. Great work as always both :)
  • @chelsamomoLOU
    Dan's excitement is so contagious! Actually love him.
  • @KathrynLiz1
    As the bullet approaches the water there's a "ground effect" that causes the bullet to flatten its trajectory somewhat... they all touch the water slightly nose-up.... As always Gav's marksmanship is impeccable.... :-)
  • @VenomousRain3
    Can we all appreciate how good Dan did with his shooting in this video
  • Absolutely gorgeous footage Great shooting Dan! I've always wanted to see this! The glass impact was incredible! GOATs
  • This is one of my favorites of all the videos you have put out. Fantastic shooting, both with the weapon and with the camera. Thrilled to see such excellent results! Thank you for the time and effort you both put in for this channel, and Dan, for the physical pain you have endured in many a video.

    It’s so funny that they’re still awkward on camera 😂 I love that
