is Matt and we have quite the episode for you today I know you guys came to see you came to see this this is my brand-new okay this is an f1 AR and there's something a little different it's unique its custom very custom so as you can see the barrel has been heated and bent completely around backwards and you can see it would not be ideal for actually firing what we're gonna do is a little experiment today I want to know is this possible will a bullet travel down this barrel make that turn and come back the total opposite direction not safe at all but we're gonna be testing it in a safe way today first let's do a little bit of experimentation with how bullets actually do curve through pipes Mythbusters did this once they curved some bullets 22 Pinkster has done this as well he's curved a 22 and cut a playing card in half in Mythbusters they used metal pipe I thought first let's start with just a little PVC pipe so we have some PVC pipe we have a very slight Bend I'm gonna fire a 45 ACP because it's a big slow-moving caliber I think the slower the better for this so we don't rip straight through the pipe as easily it still may just go straight through that pipe and rip out but maybe just maybe this plastic is strong enough to curve that bullet right around here into our target that's we're gonna find out first alright let's see there's a fairly good chance I'm going to hit my tripod if this thing goes through let's find out that's crazy that was a full-power 45 ACP load and it went all the way around and smacked our target right there I don't feel any groove it didn't cut out a chunk it just curved all the way around until it smacked it very impressed let's try something else do you see the animal no not the Fox with white feet well past that hey little guy you're downrange and it's just not safe it's just not the smartest thing probably ever done I don't I love you know hey hey you ha what are you doing I can see you I can see you he's gonna pet you look we're gonna be friends okay carry on how about if we bend it way more way sharper this one goes all the way around to make almost 180 and I should be safe because if it's gonna break out of the pipe it's gonna go anywhere that direction if it actually makes it all the way around in the pipe it's gonna come out right here smack this target at an angle deflect off that direction protecting me so can i bullet make a 180 in a PVC pipe that is a hit we made it all the way around and what's really crazy is you can't even feel any scratch there's no dent no scratch that I can tell on either of the ends it all looks perfect and it looks like that stuff held up really good to a freaking bullet flying around here and going in a half circle and hitting our target now can we do more round three the same Bend coming back in here but now let's add another one a little compound Bend so now we have a copper pipe gun we'll be right here go down make this Bend get into this pipe make that Bend hit the target possible let's find out since this is getting a little sketchier we're gonna be pulling a string from a distance and so I went ahead and duct taped the barrel to our long curvy barrel extension here because when you pull the string rock it back and I wanted to make sure it stayed centered right there so we have around in there it is now cocked and ready to rock all right there we go I heard a ding that off you can see a little bit of smoke coming out of that pipe there and ding oh oh sorry about that just taking a little siesta cuz I've been working so hard on this next one I wanted to see if I could get a bullet to go inside of Goldie and outside of Goldie without hurting Oh Goldie so we got a curve going through the window through the back door we got a target back here a little bit of big red which is a bit of a sin to destroy but it's worth it and then we have that other pipe right here like before but then we hooked another pipe in right here and made the opposite curve and then put another pipe in here and made the opposite curve for a very curvy little path if it makes it we've got a right-hand turn first a left-hand turned a right-hand turn in the left-hand turn all the way to our big red a couple pretty bad bends in it but we'll see if it makes it so this thing I've ever seen okay Safety's off all for science let's do this firing Kaylie has made it so you have to think that bullet is just bouncing around in this tube the whole way down these are not nice bends we got a pipe bender and put a bunch of bends in it so it's like kink kink kink kink kink kink that's worked with duct tape there's a seam there in between these two pipes huge cake that was like that before the bullet did not do that this is another seam kink kink kink just straight into this thing and then wraps around and pops our big red hit the target right there I have another thing I want to try these 45 degree angles the 90 degree angles the 180 degree angles they're cool and all but what about this we're gonna start it off with this now so the bull will fire into that go around the loop-de-loops and then enter this thing that we've already set up will it make it all the way through what do you think bud do you think it'll make it through guys don't know like there's so many variables here and it's really a lot of pipe to make it through do you know baby French okay come on just if we could just be friends you need a name what could we call you you're small you're short of grenade shape we're gonna call them grenade thanks for watching I love you I'll see you next time grenade bullet flies on a 1911 complete turn turn turn three complete turns that makes turn turn turn there's no way right like this is the janky islook in thing ever there's just no way that a 45 is gonna make it all the way through all this right hide behind the truck I'm not gonna look at this because it's definitely gonna kind of be pointing bullets back toward us I have a feeling we might have messed up right here oh no it didn't make it at all so this is a thinner copper pipe and our turn I mean that that probably what it was our turn is so much sharper here grenade just so you know you were right it did not work yeah total fail and now the moment you've all been waiting for we are going to fire the gun with the bent barrel so I have no idea what'll happen from what I have found as no one has ever done this they've never shot a gun with a barrel bent this much they used to actually make guns with bent barrels and they were bent at like 45 or even I think 90 degree bends but they went on a huge swooping turn like they didn't just go down and then Bend 90 and go out they swooped the whole way nothing that I found had a gun that did even close to this much of a turn around so we're gonna fire it way I see it this will go one of three ways either the gun passes through the barrel totally normally makes the bend comes out here and fires and blows up our vortex site option two is kind of like that last shot we did with a bullet fires out this way and then rips a hole in the barrel right here hitting Goldie we don't want option two no one wants option two option three is I think honestly pretty likely that it fires down here and then gets jammed right here and stops it doesn't come out this way it does not come out this way it stops in the barrel right here because that inner opening may be kinked in there it doesn't look like it is this is a nice pretty Bend here but it might be so we're actually going to do first is fire some blanks you can see there's no bullets in these shells that's just a blank I want to see if gas will pass through and come out here let's find out I also just want to see this thing fire before we totally destroy it we have a blank loaded in I'm gonna back up we got a string on an angle we don't want to be this direction and we don't wanna be this direction so I wanna be back this direction behind my truck I'm not worried about the blank but for the real bullet yeah I'm a little worried about that like where is the safe spot to stand when you're firing a gun it's gonna fire bullet this direction and this direction at the same time little sketch that's good okay firing sorry about that little sight so it did not break the sight but it definitely burned it probably not great visibility through there any more oh not bad okay let's put a GoPro up close and watch those flames coming out second shot all right guys what are your predictions we know that there is a hole that goes all the way through it is not kinked off what are your predictions kill the sight kill the barrel or get stuck in the barrel comment below we have a live round with a bullet they're putting in a gun right now it's live ready to fire we have a string of the trigger so if it breaks through the barrel it hits Goldie if it comes out of the barrel hits our sight hits our 7up if it gets stuck in the barrel probably nothing will happen I guess I honestly think all three or equal is likely so let me use a string get back behind cover we got a GoPro filming up close sure predictions in the description below through the barrel what Wow crazy you're fine you're fine what shrapnel so it came out in pieces because it blew up this site oh man yeah that would have been a bad day for you crazy man I think that bullet came out hole bullet went through the pipe came around hole smashed through our site broke into pieces because this site is metal body and then came through and killed our 7up G water just notice this too so it actually pulled the site off the rails a little bit so this site acted just like a pipe like our other pipes have it caught that bullet and pulled it down so if this thing kept going on an angle it would have gone up through the top of that site right there but the site it went in the body and then just redirect that bullet just like our pipes have done all day today and kept it down and made it go straight at that 7up instead of going up at the top up there so Wow put another round in there and fire another shot but I cannot get the bolt to close all the way on the round right now when there's nothing in there the bolt closes but when there's a round in there something is preventing the cartridge from going all the way down and seeding in the barrel I think I assume maybe there's some stuff it's back there it much needed clean it might just be a bunch of grit but either way I could not load another round in update I got it to close with a round in there just cleaned it out a little bit one more time I'm gonna leave you guys real close while I go get back cover so be sure to use your safety squids we don't want anybody get anything in the eye Safety's off looks like we had a similar result yeah for sure Wow it blew our sight off dang that it's not what I expected so you can kind of see up there in the top where those bullets are hitting in the top of site that one just went ahead and broke it off man you can see where the picatinny rails were indenting on this site it was pulling up so hard on it gun looks pretty fine very dirty that one had a lot more powder for some reason but still hit our site went through it and hit our 7up over there we have to complete barrel pass throughs and it seems like it would keep doing that that is wild you know we need to now just get the torch back out bend it back this way then you can fire straight to be fine if you'd like to join the demolition link in description below to get yourself some demolition merch I'm gonna unlock this gun because I got some work to do with it me and Goldie gotta go do a little work with the old bent barrel ar you know what I mean proven to be quite a good platform both the gun and the gold minivan I didn't think this gold minivan will last as long as it did but here just do it a second thanks for watching guys I love you [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I'm a doctor yes

I just want a super slow-mo video showing what the bullet looks like coming out.
