    A tank shooting a 55 gallon drum of ooblek is something I'd very much love to see.

    Matt: “Spitballing ideas, shoot oobleck with a tank. Good idea? Let me know your thoughts.” Demolitia: “Is that a question?”
  • I would've suggested testing a control group (water-filled containers) as a basis for comparison. Then you could play with different mixtures of oobleck to see if a thicker consistency makes a difference in its bullet stopping ability.
  • The opening skits are worth tuning in for. They keep getting better.
  • @stripeybeast
    What i’ve learned from this channel: if you strap enough of it onto you, anything could be body armor
  • @ryant1626
    When I made my own oobleck, I made it much thicker. It was easy to roll in your hand, yet after just a second, it melted. You should try it with thicker oobleck. As thick as possible, if trying to stop bullets
  • When the bucket thing did a flip on the 357 shot I’m very confident that was a result of the bullet spinning when impacting and entering the ooblek the spin of the bullet was basically trying to churn the ooblek but it reacted as a solid for a very split second making the ooblek absorb some of the spinning momentum out of the bullet and transfer it in the way you see it in the vid. It would be interesting to see the ooblek in super slowmo with clear containers

    As a goalie, I've seen some goalie gear with this same consept, when you move it's soft, and flexible, but when the puck hits you, it becomes stiff, and hard
  • @tylerfitts8194
    I love how Matt brings up the tank idea knowing full well that he doesn't even have to ask if we want to see that XD
  • This Ooblek was a lot thinner than the stuff I made with my kids back in the day. I think if it was thicker it would react more as a solid, yet would still be liquid.
  • Think Matt is having more fun trying to splash than anything. Gr8 episode !
  • @wvincagold
    Just want to say, thank you for making fire arms fun again. To many channels do pitiful or worse religious commentary. Even my wife loved this episode and kinetic sand and asked if you were Mythbusters with guns. So quite the high honor of praise. Thank you and yes I would love to see a 55 gl drum vs a tank. That would be awesomeness on rye bread!
  • Also, As a chef (food scientist) that uses "slurry" (cornstarch and water, essentially oobleck) to thicken soups and stews occasionally, I've played with my fair share. I think your ratio of liquid to cornstarch should be lowered. If you do mostly starch less liquid it'll be even more effective and less runny.

    “When I start going fast, it gets hard” what a fantastic sentence, couldn’t have said it better myself Matt 👍
  • @zeusedoo9291
    I agree on the tank shooting a 55 gallon drum. Love the intros Matt and never miss a show. You rock! My personal favorite is that 500 magnum you got. What a beauty!
  • @finq0997
    would be interesting to have a direct comparison between the goo and the same canisters filled with water.
  • It would have been cool to fire the same rounds at the same jugs filled with water to see how it compared.
