Bullets vs Steel at 800,000 FPS – The Slow Mo Guys
Gav and Dan leave the 4K phantom at home and spend the day slinging metal at other metal for a surprising range of results.

Filmed at up to 800,000 FPS with the TMX 7510
Bullets vs Steel at 800,000 FPS – The Slow Mo Guys
That’ is some super accurate shooting💯🔥
Not really.
@Peter Whiteyalways a naysayer.
i agree
@Peter Whitey Yes really
Dan was in the British Army, so know how to shoot
Pro tip: if you ever want to know when a video was filmed, look at the top left corner of the screen on top of the Phantom. The first number under the white line is the day of the year. This video was filmed on day 69 aka 10th March 2023.

They’ve been doing this for over a dozen years, and yet every video they put out makes my jaw drop at some point. These two have some serious magic.
They just don’t know what the ground is
Yeah!! I don’t think it’ll ever get boring to get a glimpse into timescales we can’t perceive. Same thing with timelapses
It is great that their jaws are still dropping too. They always seem to discover something new as they continue to explore the slow lane of the temporal superhighway.
Dan is so humble and nonchalant about his shooting abilities, but he is crazy accurate in every video.
Quintessentially British, you might say.
They dont call him Deadeye Dan for nothing.
Also appreciate the safety procedures they have
@KlovarDan really puts that military training to use.
Because if you knew anything about shooting, that’s the groupings of a your average shooter’s first day at the range.
I love how Gav and Dan are so enthusiastic about their projects without being annoyingly loud.
Good ol’ professional Brit demeanor.
Not being born in the USA helps 😛
It’s genuine!
What, you mean you don’t enjoy ‘murican gun videos that start with screaming and fist-punching sounds and invariably have several utterances of the word “bro”?
Weeeeeeell… I do like Kentucky Ballistics, and Scott is pretty loud. So, I guess I am just enjoying the contrast. @fallingwater
10 years from now, Gav is gonna be like “Remember when we had a camera that shoots at 1.7 million FPS and we were so proud of ourselves back then?”
And Dan is gonna be like “Yeah, I can’t believe we were proud of such rubbish camera when now we can film at 20 million FPS! lol”
Then, in another ten years, they’ll be recording scenes from the future, through a wormhole, at 50 million fps. 🤯
Will there ever be a limit on how fast these cameras can be made to shoot? Probably pointless to ask when I don’t understand what mechanism allows them to shoot so fast in the first place..
Actually, cameras capable of 25 million FPS exist right now. They use a high-speed rotating mirror to direct the light to a series of digital image sensors, so each frame is captured by a different sensor.

@BuffNipz technically speaking, the hard limit would be the speed of light, but most likely humanity will decide getting a camera that fast is impractical and too expensive to be worth making one outside a few physics labs
When they can film at one frame per attosecond I’ll be really impressed! 🤪
As an American who’s done a few competition shoots, saying Dan is an excellent shot is an *understatement*
He’s okay. And we don’t know what they’re doing with editing.
Well he was in the military. Probably got a fair bit of shooting practice
Dan was in the military, he probably had plenty of practice then.
Seems like pretty average shooting to me. Even at 25 yards those are some pretty big targets.
@Joshua Gibson We kinda do. There’s no extra impact marks on the targets, clearly they arent editing out bad shots
How lucky are we the viewers that a slo-mo videographer and munitions expert just happened to be best friends. This channel is amazing, incredible footage!
I wanted to like this comment, but there was already 69 likes, so I just thought, “nice!”
Dan does some epic shooting, this is undeniable, but let’s give Gav some love for his shooting too, his shots are also wild! You two are an epic duo, and that’s a fact
It’s not that special.
Dan, I must say that I’m impressed. I really have to hand it to you; most people are incapable of giving up their vices that easily.
Shakes head groaning
I see what you did there
Dad joke of the year – congratulations!
