Awesome Guns

Tiny Guns 2

Tiny Guns 2

(PG-13) Corridor follows up its goofy short film about ridiculously small weapons with an action-packed sequel. Their enemies come off as stereotypical as the ones in Team America: World Police, but the battle scenes are certainly entertaining.

Giant NERF Gatling Gun

Giant NERF Gatling Gun

Maker Ivan Miranda played around with a couple of NERF Rival Kronos blasters and decided that he could do it better. So he set about building a gigantic, vacuum-powered version that can fire of 10 rounds of ammo per second, at speeds over 62mph. We wish he made it fire actual NERF ammo though.

Making a Giant Cardboard Gun

Making a Giant Cardboard Gun

YouTuber GaffeGuy built himself a massive revolver out of cardboard. The finished papercraft weapon measures in at about 10 feet in length. He claims it can actually fire, but he saved showing that off for the last couple of seconds of the video.

Airsoft Machine Gun Briefcase

Airsoft Machine Gun Briefcase

Colin Furze made an airsoft replica of the briefcase machine gun in Kingsman 2. It’s also remote-controlled, but the real trick was figuring out how to cock and trigger the gun with one switch. Believe it or not, there’s actually a lethal version of this setup from decades ago.

Pulse Rifle Rubber Band Gun

Pulse Rifle Rubber Band Gun

One of the most iconic weapons in science fiction has to be the M41A Pulse Rifle from Aliens. Parabellum Arms couldn’t get his hands on an actual pulse rifle, he decided to build the next best thing – a wooden replica that fires rubber bands as either a machine gun or shotgun.

Literal Hot Glue Gun

Literal Hot Glue Gun

(PG-13: Language) Joel Creates read a comment on fellow maker Michael Reeves’ video that inspired him to create a weapon that fires projectiles with a hardened hot glue exterior, each filled with a nasty and dangerous payload of molten adhesive.

MP40.

MP40.

Ahoy resumes his engaging series on firearms with the MP40. Created in Nazi Germany, this submachine gun became both a symbol of evil and rebellion in pop culture. Despite its brief real world usage, it has become one of the most recognizable guns in shooters.

RevArm2 Rubber Band Machine Gun

RevArm2 Rubber Band Machine Gun

It might look a bit like the Starship Enterprise, but what you’re actually looking at here is a rubber band machine gun that uses a pan-type magazine. While builder parabellum1262 hasn’t provided plans for building one, he does have tutorials for many other cool rubber band guns.

MP5K Operational Briefcase

MP5K Operational Briefcase

Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons introduces us to a weapon straight out of a 1960s spy thriller. The Heckler & Koch MP5K operational briefcase offers a mount that allows operatives to hide an MP5K submachine gun inside. Loading and aiming this thing is bonkers.

Guns Found Here

Guns Found Here

You’d think that registering firearms would mean they’d be easy to trace. But one look at the antiquated process at the ATF’s National Tracing Center, and you’ll see why things aren’t as tidy as they look on TV crime dramas. Another fantastic documentary from MEL Films.

Tiny Gun in Slow-mo

Tiny Gun in Slow-mo

The Slow Mo Guys have previously fired off some very big guns to see every detail of how they work. This time, they went to the opposite extreme, shooting a teensy, 2″ long pinfire gun at 12,500 fps to observe the mini weapon at work. That poor Minifig is like a mini Buster.

LEGO Fortnite Double Barrel Shotgun

LEGO Fortnite Double Barrel Shotgun

LEGO enthusiast ZaziNombies made a life-size replica of the new double barrel shotgun in Fortnite. It’s made of 1100 LEGO pieces, weighs 4 lb and is nearly 2 ft long. It even has a working reload mechanism and has two LEGO shotgun shells.

The Spyra One is an electronic water gun. Instead of ejecting a stream, it shoots discrete “bullets” to up to 30 ft. It has a built-in pump that lets you refill the gun in seconds over a body of water. It also has a digital display that shows how many shots you have left.

Shooting NERF Darts from a Real Gun

Shooting NERF Darts from a Real Gun

Ryan & David modified the barrel of a rifle so they could load it with NERF darts, which they propelled with blank cartridges. It turns out the result is still lethal. We’d like to see this done in slow motion though, because it looks like the rifle turned into a shotgun.

The talented craftsmen at Chronicle Collectibles made this life-size replica of the plasma rifle from the Fallout franchise. It has a sniper barrel as well as green lights that are toggled by the trigger.

Splitting Bullets in 4K Slow-mo

Splitting Bullets in 4K Slow-mo

For their latest experiment, The Slow Mo Guys perfectly lined up an axe with the barrel of a gun, and fired a bullet at it so we could see what it looks like slowed down. It’s cool, but it’s the custom two-way axe they built that produces truly satisfying results.

LEGO Fortnite Minigun

LEGO Fortnite Minigun

LEGO weapons specialist ZaziNombies presents one of his largest scale models yet. It’s based on the minigun from the hit battle royale game Fortnite. The scale model is made of about 6,500 pieces, measures over 4ft long and weighs over 18lb.

Bullet vs. Bulletproof Window

Destin from Smarter Every Day teamed up with Gav and Dan from The Slow Mo Guys to see what exactly happens when a bullet hits a piece of bulletproof acrylic, both with a bullet that can’t make it through, and then with a .50 cal that can. Watch The Slow Mo Guys’ video here.

.50 Cal Sniper Rifle in Slow Motion

.50 Cal Sniper Rifle in Slow Motion

Destin of SmarterEveryDay lent The Slow Mo Guys a .50 caliber sniper rifle. Watch their bodies, faces and nearby objects react to the beastly weapon’s recoil. There’s also an amazing shot of the bullet coming out at 130,000fps.

Extreme Bottle Opener

Extreme Bottle Opener

While he didn’t manage to nail it with every shot, it’s still impressive that Olympic shooting coach Zhou Shibing managed to cleanly take the caps off of several bottles of beer by firing at them with his air rifle on the Chinese reality show Impossible Challenge.
