STRONGEST .50 Cal Rounds vs Tungsten Cube! ft. @HoustonJones

in three two one the World's Strongest Man with the world's strongest Cube shot by the world's strongest 50 cal ammo and filmed with the world's strongest camera I guess this is ballistic highspeed hey I say that really yeah oh really sorry I'm new here as you can see we have a guest here on the channel this is Houston thanks for coming out this should be a good shoot tell us a little bit more about this antimatter Cube you have here it's tungsten which is like one of the densest metals in the world that cube in

particular is 42 LB it really doesn't make sense when you pick it up it's that heavy it's like Thor's hammer I think that's heavier than this camera and this is heavy yeah the only thing I've done with it is dropped it on me from a couple feet and that didn't break the cube surprisingly not it did break my leg a bit uh a corner caught me and just gashed me open link to that in the description below maybe is it exciting to be doing a video where that doesn't happen to you yeah this is really

fun for me okay all right cool so we've shot steel before like ar500 ar550 FJ rounds are no match for steel no but this is much more dense than steel naturally we're going to start with just a 9 and a 308 the cubes by now have made their way around the internet they've been shot with about everything it's not even going to scratch it but that flowering is going to be beautiful fragmentation these should kind of be in order and get more and more devastating so we just have a standard uh full metal jacket this

blue tip is some anti-aircraft super incendiary black one is just armor piercing so that has a steel core inside of it the silver one is like the black one a steel cord but it also has incendiary so we'll get a flash with that one too and then cist it has a Tungsten cord yeah so now we finally have metal for metal an even match yep and then we have the infamous slap rounds it has a 30 cal pure tungsten rod in it so it should shed this polyurethane Sabo and we should fast a 3,800 ft

per second tungsten Rod wow crisp we might have another surprise one show up actually I think I'm getting a delivery right now that could be it thanks division research for sending out the TMX 7510 again we're going to be pushing well over half a million frames per second so this should be delicious see you in a few minutes let's do it all right ballistic high speed let's see what you can do to this bad boy just like any other time you're going to use 9 mil and you have a pit viper you you use the

pit viper I don't think anything's going to happen I think it's just going to destroy the bullet into a million pieces I was thinking 900,000 pieces but you might be right I'm going a million weapons hot high speed is ready okay Houston you got ears I got ears all right looks low I triggered on that that might be good weapons clear the smallest inconvenience honestly I think it added metal yeah I think it K it feels like it's convex not concave it did move the cube though it did it did it like pivoted just a

little bit yeah that's a million pieces uhuh easily EAS a million it looks like it did get caked on to the end of it yeah left some behind little ignition there normally that ignition is just a single frame on that camera but we actually get some progression of that flame one of the softest Metals versus one of the hardest guess yeah I mean that was an obvious result there so give it a faster rifle bullet I think it's going to handle it just fine and the old 308 it's also a hollow point so I'm kind

of curious what that'll look like on it oh that's right we haven't fragmented hollow point on metal before no we haven't so just to show you that it's not just handguns that the tungsten doesn't care about we're going to hit it with a little 308 out of the harbinger okay you good high speed ready everybody good behind me yep oh wow nice weapons clear and did we break the table or did it just I think the it just folded it oh wow dude there's like nothing that's a 308 from 18 ft all I feel is

metal deposited from the round did blow off the table though did blow off the table so it's progress so we're going to have a lot longer of a bullet to banana peel so let's let's see what that looks like yeah what what just turned to a powder I feel like you can see it slowing down right near the end a little smoke cloud that pops out cool what is that I don't know no more bullet [Music] we both knew it but that was no match so get out the Norine 50 cal up to the 50

baby all right I'm excited I like the aiming uh we're using here just look down the barrel yeah honestly it makes sense you know your eye becomes the laser b I can see Cube this is something I never thought I'd see is Houston Jones and Adams looking down a 50 cow Barrel together nothing but Cube baby that's cube right there this so this is the setup that we're going to use all day today we've got the ransom International ballistic and forensic testing machine because I don't want to be anywhere near the fragmentation of this that's

fair yeah so I built a 20ft cable so I can run it behind the BM so we are behind 10 ft of dirt probably we're going to start with just a standard 50 BMG 750 grain ax 2,815 ft per second 13,000 194 ft-lb of force I don't think anything's going to happen to the cube aside of it just flying straight into that wood wall there so we're thinking similar scuffing like those did and that's about it yeah larger scuffing perhaps larger scuffing yeah larger but no Dent no Dent no not yet I guess we'll see

if we can break your Cube I hope so here we go all right weapons hot all right everybody good yep all right trying the first 50 in three 2 1 hey the table didn't break table survived oh it's so Smoky oh it's I can see Smoky from here the cube is on the ground y okay okay oh dang oh it almost like cut it in half it almost looked like there was some ignition okay it's got to be that whoa oh I would say so yeah it made it cleaner wow it's shiny I think it

maybe left a little line where the bullet hit so for all you machinists out there if you want to clean up your tungsten just shoot a 50 at it it's so smooth and a little is it it just it's more deposited it's not even a dent oh my gosh when we get dark spots like this there's usually some Flames going on so I'm curious what highspeed got cuz we might have some some cool ignition going on I know a way we can find out we can go look at the he go look at the he

that Easy's do it that easy so this is only 60,000 frames a second so it be a bit quicker but we'll get color what the Flames is the fragmentation igniting the plastic table not what I thought we built a freaking lightsaber that's wild back flipped a little bit imagine what the in we maybe should have bought two tables we might need to I don't know if this one will survive another one okay we need the TMX for this so 10 times slower than that footage whoa f j look at it going down the table like

how it strips those previous marks right off too this is our most gentle 50 cal and that look really cool kind of excited for that blue tip the one that's next yeah it's next if a 50 cal FMJ was that bright setting off the table I'm going to have to underexpose a lot for this incendiary round I feel like I I would just go for that yeah okay yeah let's do that next I'll get it loaded all right that first one is the only one that I have any like box data on because the rest

of these were loaded for us but this is supposed to be like a hardcore incendiary it's supposed to be super bright I guess yeah so it probably look cooler yes yeah just with a lot more heat okay yeah yeah I think it'll be cool you got anything to add Bryce I also think it will be cool Bry also thinks it'll be cool that was good input that's very good input I think that's going to create a microscopic black hole in the first Nano second the camera won't catch it but I know it's there you just

have to trust me okay well let's find out hey it's National Suicide Prevention month call somebody it's okay too it's good to get help seriously it's okay to get help help Red's rolling high speed ready high speed ready blue tip coming up weapons hot shout out to Gan for recording this video yeah all right everybody good good good all right the blue tip 50 cal in three two one sounded the same yeah yeah it looks more SMY ow blue oh oh whoa what what the heck okay ohly Nikes this got a little crispy as well

look at the detail and the Flames okay so we can see where it hit the black stain kind of went off to the side so it wrapped around oh yeah cuz look oh yeah oh probably where the cube was so a legit Fireball yeah that's so cool if you were to hold this on your chest we shot it with blue tip you could get this cool pattern tattooed all over your chest with a clean Square in the middle we could be burn buddies why do I never get to be burn buddies well you don't want

to be there it's not too late it's not too late I underexposed this footage by a lot we'll see if if the flame details there wow it is a fireball What it just keeps going it takes up the whole frame so interesting so the coer Sparks there like we see all the time then it gets to the incendiary and it just goes and goes that's awesome and had enough Force to wrap it around the cube yeah so definitely need to go again but darker okay I'm going to have to do like minimum exposure kind of

like we did with Tannerite yeah that's crazy I mean I'll I'll show you in color I'll show you in color it's not as dark as the 7510 whoa so it's like bright bright it's seeming like it's brighter than Tannerite which is obscenely bright okay so one more yeah okay it it didn't hurt the cube weapon's hot I predict it doesn't damage the cube wow how do you know that you're so smart three two two one I was looking at our cars that time and I could see the flash illuminate them for a second oh nice

yep that looks about right okay okay let me rewind it see I I can't see anything exactly no wonder he's always getting predictions right I know chea no I do control the edit too oh look still happening Bryce is just secretly doing audio for every outcome and he just edits in the one that he's right you want to get close to this monitor this is really good look like an orange guarantee that's never been seen before that's the copper spark we were seeing earlier that used to be bright look at that that looks like a

C4 detonation kind of yeah nailed the exposure looky yeah that's what tanite looks like too in ultra high if not friend why friend shap all right sweet we got it moving on that was worth redoing absolutely those were all awesome for show this should actually I think Dent it demo Ranch did one of these way back in the day and I'm pretty sure when he got to the armor piercing it actually dented it left it Dent this is the point of no return of you having a perfect Cube are you sure you want to continue

it's fine guys I've made my piece with the kid what would we do if he said no listen son once you begin there's no turning back so this is harden steel I think the FMJ is mild steel core and that's harden steel from here on out we are actually looking for Destruction 8 in to quarter inch Dent is what I think is about to happen you're really exact with that um I'd go eighth eth 316th do we have a calipers to stick batteries are dead so now ready to see some damage enough messing around all

right weapon's hot should we let Houston do this one see as long as you got dirt in between you and the cube in three two one oh yeah oh I heard a Ricochet yeah I don't like that do you hear that yeah whistled three two one for a while too okay way less Smokey so we're back to Oh see it oh yeah H holy Nikes that's in there okay wow I'm impressed well that explains why it ricocheted though that's like why you don't shoot mild steel yeah because it can create a cavity and then it

has somewhere to go so very cool yeah the next rounds might actually break this thing eventually maybe that is such a tall order but if it if it breaks yeah that'd be sweet let's look at the high speed of this and I bet that'll give us an indication of what's actually going on there we're getting some plastic deformation of tungsten which is weird because usually it shears right it's a brittle metal right so ideally when the shoot's done you've just got different interesting holes on each side I think I increased the value of my you

might be able to keep it still 60,000 frames is that it oh there's flames in that hole oh there oh there it is oh there it is okay do you have anything that you can uh get the spin rate of that on spin rate's easy yeah velocity not so much not from this angle wa that's going to look good on that camera so anything mild steel and under seems to Splat flat and now that we're up in hardened steel it's a little more of like a hemisphere of debris coming off oh yeah wow that's jacket

right that got Shed off right there and then that's the steel cor just very cool all right so we have one more it's basically going to do the same thing it just has the incendiary in it as well and then we will be increasing from that three more times the delivery showed up API time API time okay unlike the aax this Silver Tip actually means something so this is a armor-piercing incendiary so kind of like the inar before I would say maybe half that okay yeah there's enough faces on the cube you got options yeah

to match the amount of 50s that we have this is the last steel core everything going forward will be tungsten cord or just solid tungsten so that's when we're getting some real damage weapons hot all right everybody good uh we're good all right API versus tungsten cube in three two one I didn't hear Ricochet that time so I wonder if it went into the wood or maybe it wasn't spinning as much could be could be all the equipment's good cube is still there and there's a hole you know what we could make our own tungsten

dice by putting the right number so it didn't penetrate as deep oh it's got some like jacket fused into it you have a very unique tungsten block I know queue up the high speeded I'll get a fresh face and we got three to go oh more incendiary than I thought yeah it's a nice Fireball is that our only Ricochet that little disc oh there's some more right there what's that oh that's got to be it coming right for the camera okay went that way bet skied off the ground or something yeah wow so kind of

that same thing you can see the initial and then the a lot faster that time yeah less delay you can see the shock wav reflecting some of the oh yeah incendiary flame probably not worth doing again though for darker proba just going to look the same very cool awes so now get some tungsten invol Tung versus tungsten yeah cuz I think that's the that's the most demo did right yeah was an armor piercing mhm so we kind of knew what to expect thanks to Matt yeah so now shout out to demo Ranch Uncharted territories Uncharted

territories I like we could we could split an atam here this is like this is like a little Houston in the barrel going out the cube it's like equivalent density here up next ralphus uh up next I I had to get my my phone out for this one so this is the ralphus mark 211 multi-purpose antimaterial high explosive incendiary armor-piercing ammunition projectile that's a mouthful that's why I had to get the phone out so this has a copper jacket incendiary mix some sort of high explosive like petn or RDX zirconium powder a mild steel cup

that is wrapping a Tungsten Carbide penetrator damn there's a lot going on in this thing this whole time I'm like yeah it's got like a Tungsten penetrator whatever it's got a whole lot more going if this doesn't make you nervous it makes me nervous I'm getting out even bigger lenses so you can get the cameras back yeah I would I would maybe scoop back I'll go do that this was sent out by Chris ATO ballistic he has a YouTube channel and I believe he said he's the first person to do slap on YouTube so go

check out his channel going ballistic and thank you Chris you're a gentleman and a scholar oh and a scholar that's from the strongest dude ever quick from all that awesome destruction we're going to tell you about today's sponsor Sark so they offer a wide variety of products they have night vision scopes all sorts of stuff this is from their precidio line This is a 1x6 so like if this was a hunting variation of the 12 gauge slap that on there you can go hunt some Wildlife if you're like me and you're really into the AR

platforms though this is the Volta solar this is their one of their reflex sites they have many variations uh they have micros for pistols all that good stuff I like this one though cuz it has the solar on it so it keeps the battery charged and it also Auto brightens your Red Dot if you go from a dark environment to a light one I haven't seen a whole lot of that so to me that was really cool there will be a link in the description where you can go get these Optics so enough of that

back to the video they're further back and have more layers of glass before the sensor yeah I guess if we lose the lens okay I still will cry just a little I'll feel bad for you guys that helps very nice of you we appreciate that you're welcome jerk all right we got some sunlight so let's go for it okay all right ralphus coming up ralphus is hot we might want to be clear of the gun too everybody good good ready ralphus in three two one oh whoa okay everything seems fine I saw a spark fly

into that tree I didn't hear a I didn't hear a Ricochet or anything me either probably because it eviscerated it with RDX oh God it this one got to yeah that oh no I think it's this one and there's something stuck in it so that's why there was no Ricochet it's just stuck it's in there so we have embedded a Tungsten Rod into the Tung might happen yeah that's definitely it doesn't look much deeper than any of the other ones say less so but we still have faster and skinnier and fatter variations of that yes

the slap will be skinnier but faster the surprise guest to come later it a fat boy all right let's go look at high speeded oh that is so bright I need to breathe so many Sparkles yeah definitely no Ricochet or anything wa that's cool oh god oh nice within a 60,000 of a second it goes from that to that I just can't believe we just embedded a Tungsten Rod into a Tungsten Cube wonder how much heat that put off surprise six six heat six heat okay wa it kind of looks like the blue tip at

this yeah at this zoom level look how it lights up the detail on the bullet tack is get our shock wave ribbon you get the shock wave bouncing off the table shifting all the gases this makes me kind of excited for the slap because we'll actually get to see it without all the the incendiary so that was surprisingly a safer round to shoot at yeah tungsten you wouldn't have guessed by the name no no no no we were reading that Wiki article I was like oh my gosh what are we doing all right slap around

slap around it is it has a 30 cal tungsten penetrator this is a newer production this was made in like 2023 okay so although that being said all of these were handcrafted and sent to us so this is this 50 Cal's last video it'll never be shoulder fired again it'll forever be in this and then I'm sure we're going to take it out to Washington County machine guns and there just happens to be a bunch of De cord out there and yeah who knows maybe he slips and Falls you know all right let's see what

this does can you imagine if it's just like sticking in there I'd be happy with that slap round going in all right you guys good good good okay all right trying the slap round in three two one oh three two one trying in three two one woo did you trigger it yeah okay good well hopefully we got it cuz we're not doing that again well the aim definitely got moved and uh-huh yeah but you can see wild the bullet is that from shrapnel coming off I think it was over here and that's actual like and

then it shifted the whole block over oh okay what is this do spot here oh is that the the polyurethane Sabo part of it I guess I mean it hit hard whatever it is I must have shifted the table when I was when I was doing all that but those things just feed like crap in there so bad for your gun is it going to be in frame it's in frame just not the best Focus but we can see what happens okay okay let's go see what it did yeah whoa the bullet is skinnier yep

noticeably faster yeah that's our pieces of Sabo wait what is that it exploded oh I wonder if there's like another backing disc in there or something oh oh almost split the bullet you almost split that's kind of cool round in half that's okay so that looks what what is that I don't know it almost looks like a disc behind the main bullet that's still rotating cartridge has a 355 to 360 grain heavy metal tungsten penetrator that is Sabo launched at a muzzle velocity of 4,000 ft per second that's it it doesn't really say like what

else is in there a mystery object yeah okay say it must have another backing on the back of the Sabo or something last bullet you want to go reveal the surprise yep I do all right that's kind of cool that is cool it is okay this was the surprise one because I had never even heard of this this is a c44 our buddies at Denver bullets found just the projectile and then they're an ammo manufacturer that you should check out and then they made the entire thing off of the load data and everything this has

as small amount of lead and copper jacketing as possible and then it's a 950 grain tungsten penetrating core wow so basically the entirety of that projectile is a Tungsten Rod the Red Band means there's a little bit of Tracer in there oh so cool I don't know if we'll be able to see it at this distance or not but it was only ever made by two factories on the planet why' they stop we're about to find out so c44 thank Denver bullets okay it's live so the slap was fast but light this one's slower but

fatter okay everybody good yep all right c44 in three two 1 whoa what was that I got hit by something something dropped on me ho smoked there was a bunch of stuff that came back yeah cameras are okay dropped on my head did you hear that wa what is that where's the key where is the key you guys ready for the big reveal yeah here com it's melded into it what no way that's kind of cool we need to at some point get this cooled down washed off and yeah oh that's in there oh dang

so those initial theories of melding the tungsten together what it came true yeah we really thought we were going to like crack it or something at some point yeah it Liv you get you get to take this home yeah yeah it's kind of cool desk piece now I mean I was going to take it home in pieces regardless but so cool I'm interested to see the slow-mo on that one if somebody ever makes a a slap that just like feeds properly we'll do it again all right I'm curious about high speeded on this all right

oh two stages I'm not seeing any trace on it so it must not be enough distance for it maybe so we get jacketing spark and then this must be the tungsten and tungsten just hitting it's got to be man unless that's that's a lot of fire waa tons of shrapnel that's a lot of energy in there for the last time let's hit the 600,000 frames per second it looks like it has its own incendiary charge just because tungsten versus tungsten is so wild oh you know what I take it back I think that's copper that's

tungsten and that is the trace all igniting at once instead of leaving a trail cuz it only happens right when the butt of it hits and that like puck in the back awesome stuff Dude Sweet well sorry we didn't break it it's okay we put some holes in it I mean it looks cooler there are 20 mm rounds there are 20 mm rounds I think you know a guy that has one yeah subscribe thanks Houston for coming out hope you had fun thanks for having me guys trying to break your Cube I guess just like

you pretty much indestructible I don't know if I'm happy or disappointed to be honest well you'll know when it's sitting on your desk dinged up here and there but on the whole you're fine you know you'll be fine thanks again to Vision research sending out the 7510 phantom camera again super amazing camera some of the best footage I've ever seen big shout out to going ballistics again for helping us out with some of the ammo as well as Denver bullets and speaking of that kind of stuff go check out sdi.edu there'll be a link in

the description below of course we've got the patreon the posters coming go subscribe to uh Houston Channel everybody that link will be in the description below it was nice to just sit and watch yeah hang out for a little bit at cool slowmo this was a blast how we actually heard about it was because over on Houston's Channel they actually did this right here to him and I'm not even kidding I felt that go check it out all right well you get you getting a little yeah some Phantom pains hope you enjoyed subscribe we'll see

you in the next video
