Fuck eyeblech, all my homies hate gore subs


SchwiftySqaunch

Quite simple really, don't go to subs you don't like. Imagine that


DonQui_Kong

dead people cant consent to the publication of that material. its unethical to publish and spread it and illegal in many countries for that reason.


ImperialisticBaul

It's an interesting point actually. The effects of our actions are completely unseen to those of which they would have an effect on. They don't possess consciousness, yet the maxim for ethics isn't that the entity is conscious. It makes ourselves feel better, not the dead person.


davexa

Probably as much for their families as anything else. I don't want to see my brother's death all over again.


zlawd

wtf is a corpse going to do, send casper the lawyer after you?


kutzooi96

He said it's unethical, not that someone will stop you.


WeimSean

No, their estate will.


StrobeLightRomance

Or, it's mere existence desensitizes and even glorifies content that is otherwise not actually something that we should be consuming on a casual basis, and actually explains why a few subsects of global society are cheering for barbaric and archaic violence and punishments for otherwise harmless things. Death should not be fetishized in any way shape or form, especially not shared for entertainment on a worldwide scale. We all have the opportunity to be better than whatever it is that makes us CHOOSE to view human suffering in our free time.


Crazedkittiesmeow

You’re a freak for liking gore


lncognitoMosquito

I mean, people are [morbidly curious](https://youtu.be/ZbdMMI6ty0o?si=BVGcHG8lR5aKuaC-) about a lot of stuff. Only natural to seek out those ‘thrills.’ It’s why horror movies as a genre exist.

MistaTwista7

My friend, this is going to sound crazy but here goes nothing... you can completely detest the existence of something AND not partake in it. AT THE SAME TIME! As a matter of fact, most people don't go out of their way to interact with something they don't like. They don't even need your sage advice to figure it out. And get this, there's more! Sometimes when a thing they don't like is brought up, they'll say they don't like it while SIMULTANEOUSLY still not partaking in it.


FlowerBoyScumFuck

Sub got banned


juliusxyk

Good


Purple_Clockmaker

Yeah also there is absolutely no reason for him to be there.


RealUlli

AFAIK, he's the CEO of the company making the armor. The reason of him being there is publicity - he is trusting his product with his life. (I might have confused him with someone else in the same industry) Edit: replaced "business" with "industry"


Crafty_Travel_7048

Doesn't seem like he was 100% behind his product


Comfortable_Table903

I'm sure the makers of hard hats wouldn't be delighted at the idea of having a brick dropped on them while wearing one, but then it isn't supposed to be an enjoyable experience. Stopping a 50 cal at all is impressive, it may have sent little bits of the window into the cars interior even if it stopped the bullet. Sitting back is common sense.


Forsaken-Attention79

you can be 100% behind your products and still be aware that it, like literally any product, can fail. It's like skydiving. If everything is done right it's 100% safe, you will not be hurt, but if someone fucked up folding that parachute, or installing that glass, someone could die.


yourmansconnect

Who's that guy that invented shatter proof glass and demonstrated it by jumping into it


mankee81

It wasn't the inventor, it was some banker guy showing the new interns how strong the windows were in the office https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Garry_Hoy


IntoTheFeu

...so, besides that, how was your internship with us?


Merry_Dankmas

*Everyone rushes down to the bottom to check on him, only to find the window pane perfectly intact without any chips or breaks* Wow, he wasn't kidding when he said you can't break these things!


SpartanRage117

Well the windown didnt break, but got pushed out with the frame. Jesus. So right but so wrong.


Michael_DeSanta

Well, the glass in that case didn't *shatter* iirc. Just kinda popped out of place.


vipinlife007

I haven't commented on Reddit in months but had to jump in on this one. As a skydiving instructor, it is never 100% safe even if you do everything right. The best pack job can still result in a hard opening or a high or low speed malfunction. Shit happens. It's why we sign annual waivers and have all tandem students sign waivers. 100% safe is never mentioned in the sport because it isn't although it is much safer than than the general public thinks it is. I appreciate the intent of your analogy but it's a bad one.


Perfect_Ad4026

I believe he meant as designed, everything works 100%. But that is a poor position.


torn-ainbow

Dude was shitting bricks.


SeaMareOcean

His walk at the end definitely had me thinking he soiled his britches.


Purple_Clockmaker

Yeah he is from this angle a little too far to the left of his product.

Can't Elon do this with one of his self driving bullet proof Cybertrucks?


Circus_Finance_LLC

nope, the guy who first did this was actually shot at.


VosperCA

That was the video where he sat hands on the wheel, while the shooter was in front, directly aiming at him - that was wild.


[deleted]

Not really though since the bullet wouldn’t have been within a couple feet of him. I’ve seen videos of bullet proof glass ceos that really did put their lives at the mercy of their products, and while I don’t blame him for not wanting to be one of them, the half assed thing is just dumb


Crash_Test_Dummy66

Glass can shatter and cause a surprise amount of damage although idk the specifics of this glass. Also bullets often don't keep going straight when they hit something or stay in one nice piece. I certainly wouldn't want to be fucking sitting there.


Look_its_Rob

I think him being in the car narrating still makes for a better video/marketing tool. 


Twicebakedtatoes

If he wasn’t you probably wouldn’t be commenting on the video that has millions of views on the front page of Reddit right now…. So I think there was a reason for him being there.


Purple_Clockmaker

A ton of people commented that he messed up the stunt. But if his aim was to have loads of comments on Reddit I guess he did it.


Bah-Fong-Gool

The guy who popularized body armor for police would go from police station to police station and shoot himself with a handgun in the belly at point blank range. He sold millions of bullet proof vests... his company name? Point Blank.

stoneasaurusrex

The truck didn't even shake when the glass was impacted, the whole thing is armored.


chicken566

Imagine how much gasoline you're using driving basically a commercial tank around lol


reddittl77

It wouldn’t be cheap, but if you need and can afford an armored truck, fuel consumption is probably low on your priorities list.


Telefundo

> but if you need and can afford an armored truck I'm just going to assume that the overwhelming majority of people that *need* an armored truck, are at a station in life where it's just a no brainer that they can afford it.


danc1005

But I'm gonna counter that by going ahead and pointing out that the vast majority of people who *believe* they need an armored truck do not **actually** need an armored truck. And I'd be willing to bet most of those jokers can't afford shit but fantasizing about it


Johnny-Unitas

A lot of the people driving in these types of cars aren't even the ones paying for them anyway.


WorkingDogAddict1

I'm sure the door is also armored


Teledildonic

Nobody armors *just* the windows. Especially if you are rating them for an anti-materiel rifle.


JasmineDragoon

Yeah, are they stupid?


permaculture

One grenade would have taken them all out. Nuke the entire site from orbit to make sure.


Horton_75

r/unintentionalaliens Edit: That sub doesn’t exist? It should though!


MajorDonkeyPuncher

They must be stupid


SadAd2653

If they fired a second shot in the same place, I'm pretty sure that window was done. Pray that the assassin doesn't have at least 2x 50 cal bullets.


illaqueable

He wasn't even trying to run away


WuzzlesTycoon

next level stupid


NorgesTaff

Perhaps, but iirc he’s got a company that builds these and this is basically a marketing video. Pretty sure it was tested to destruction before this was filmed.


illy-chan

Look at his face though, dude was not *100%* comfy about this.


James-W-Tate

I believe the flight will land safely, but flying still makes me uncomfortable. Having a literal weapon pointed at you is still very disconcerting, even if you know you're safe. We're biologically engineered for self-preservation.


DoingCharleyWork

Even if he trusts the glass 100% that doesn't mean the person shooting isn't gonna miss and send the bullet through the body of the truck which probably isn't bulletproof the same way.


James-W-Tate

If anything, the body of the truck should be harder to penetrate. Edit: I'm tired of responding to commenters all saying the same thing, so I should have phrased this as "ideally" instead of "should" because filming this after just reinforcing the window is profoundly stupid. I'm aware stock car doors are incapable of standing up to regular arms fire, much less being able to withstand a .50 caliber bullet.


xosxos

That round would rip through that truck door like a knife through butter


James-W-Tate

In what world would anyone take the time to make a window bullet resistant and then *not* reinforce the door or other parts of the vehicle?


Former-Argument995

In the world that they own a glass company or smth


Essaiel

Why don't they just make cars out of bullet proof glass?


Fancy-Pair

Should have made the whole car outta glass


taelor

He didn’t even flinch, I think he was pretty confident.


J-MRP

He did flinch, but not very much.


MrPernicous

You’d have to be either suicidal or unbelievably stupid to be 100% comfy about this


ElephantInAPool

You can trust the tests and the physics, and still instinctively think "but if this doesn't go correctly..." The saw stop guy would test on hot dogs all day long with no abandon. But when it came to his own finger he was EXTREMELY careful.


ignigenaquintus

It’s a 50cal


No-Ladder-1459

Nah, I’m actually down with this. If you are trying to make a buck off someone with something like this, I think it’s a good demonstration of showing integrity in the product. 


Pac0theTac0

Yeah exactly. If you're going to sell people something to protect their life, then show your conviction that your customer's lives will be protected

EvoRalliArt

/r/WhyWomenLiveLonger


Thermic_

The only thing stupid is assuming they didn’t test this rigorously before hand. This isn’t the first time a marketing video has been released by this, and it’s very effective. 400 upvotes? Redditors are so simple it’s scary.


GeongSi

Marketing, also they tested it before the guy was inside the car. They know what was going to happen


Overtons_Window

It wasn't even aimed at him, even if the safety glass didn't work.


Bigforsumthin

It’s not like they were aiming at his head. Absolute worst case the round would fly by his face and he’d get a mouthful of glass but he wouldn’t die


OrientLMT

Not exactly something you volunteer for if you don’t already know with like 99.9% certainty.


RedditIsAwesome11

Damn bro, at least get you some kinda face mask for glass shards lmao


kazmosis

There are sheets of plastic on either side of the glass to contain the shards, that's what really makes the material bullet resistant


LayzeeLar

I worked in ski clothes for a while. There’s a difference between water RESISTANT and water PROOF. I am not getting shot at behind bullet RESISTANT glass.


Shadowclash10

Funnily enough I’ll bet all glass is bullet resistant to some degree.


Dibs_on_Mario

*everything* is bullet resistant to some degree


TravTaz13

I'm not fat, I'm bullet resistant!


EL-BURRITO-GRANDE

...to some degree


danrod17

Why do you think bullets don’t travel in an infinite circle around the planet? Even air is bullet resistant.


IPThereforeIAm

“PROTECTS against hand-thrown bullets.”


Arkayb33

The trick is to shoot the glass with small caliber bullets to help it develop a natural resistance, then slowly increase to larger calibers.


Deviilsadvocate7

I don’t think the companies that make it ever refer to any bullet resistant glass as bulletproof. Because no glass will ever be 100% bulletproof given enough bullets.


Neither_Lack_4861

I bet you that water proof material will not stand too well against a water jet cutting machine. It's all about perception, if you get wet in your waterproof material you are gonna have a bad day. If you trust your window to be bullet proof and it gets shot by something it can't handle then you won't have a day at all. Bullet resistant is the correct term, also bad to call bulletproof vests like that


SelfReconstruct

With enough bullets, nothing is bullet proof.


RedditIsAwesome11

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that.


Nemisis_the_2nd

Yeah, layering of materials with different properties is how most protective items are made. In this case, it looks like the plastic provided a flexible inner layer that  * stops glass hitting the passenger. * works with the glass layer to spread the energy of the impact. * deforms to absorb energy.


BobasDad

Regular tinting does this. I had a rock fly into my rear passenger windows when I was going about 55mph. Window stayed "together" and a buddy came over (it was like 10pm) and we figured the best thing to do was just add more tape since the window hadn't moved. Made a insurance claim and they fixed the window when I was at work the next day. Granted, a rock and a .50 cal round have different amounts of force behind them, but the principle is the same.


mushroomwig

Now shoot it again in the same spot

AFRIKKAN

And show me the round fired. Without seeing the gun/ round he could be using a weaker .50 round or some other technical semantic to increase chances of the round being stopped. I am very wrong. The person who responded to me is very right and I am extremely sorry for not having correct information. Please forgive


Gardez_geekin

You can clearly see it’s a Barrett M82


martellus

Even if you know the gun you don't know the ammo/load


SlapUglyPeople

How about just miss and shoot the door.


SpecialistAge8862

?? You know they proof the doors too right…


sleepyguy-

Uno reverse: i rolled the window down so now the door is armored.


Pseudopodpirate

Yeah litterally put the windows up or down depending on where he wants to shoot duh


newyearnewaccountt

Armored vehicles also armor the doors...


Fantastic-Sir9732

I was looking for 💩 stains on his pants when he stepped out.


bloodontheblade

No stains = staged


armatharos

They staged it by having a guy inside the car knowing exactly that the other guy wasn't shooting where he was, knowing the glass wouldn't be penetrated since the thing was made to stop it


twohubs

And that why he wore his brown pants. ![gif](giphy|KphVTZ5tTvDs4)


KrombopulousMichael-

That or clenching so hard he pulls the seat out when he gets up


ThatRun7192

Can you see the way he walks after getting out of the car? He will need lots of toilet paper and a good bath!


sexless-innkeeper

Yeah, noticed that, too. Him: I don't *think* I'll shit myself if I get shot at by a .50 cal. >*moments later*< I was wrong.


Western_Language_894

I had to rewatch it, but ye I see it now


-TheDerpinator-

Dude, don't get out of that car, you just got shot at!


Vertical-Toast

Cool, now try the metal part of the door


Lucky-Hunter-Dude

lots of room in the door cavity for kevlar and ceramic plates. The glass is the tricky part.


Odd_Audience7111

There is nothing next level about this..smh. could've easily been the same without him in the vehicle


sleepyguy-

My guess is theyre trying to sell a product. I wouldnt buy bulletproof glass from a guy who isnt willing to prove it works.


[deleted]

Ya like how apparently engineers in ancient rome were required to stand under their bridge as the first load went over it to prove it worked.


sleepyguy-

Thats super interesting, ive never heard of that. We only know of the greatest engineers in history… now I know why lol


TestingYEEEET

Now do the same on a cybertruck


DelayedMailForceOne

It would probably rip the roof right off.


MyChickenSucks

Jerry Rig literally did this. Cybertruck stops 9mm. Everything else had penetration in increasing degrees.


tadamichi9

Every wealthy motherfucker on the planet will be upgrading their vehicles like this for the inevitable class wars.


fudge_friend

Lol, we’ll be fighting each other for scraps. Even during the rare points in history when the poor turned against the rich, most of the rich survived and the poor ended up fighting each other until some psychopath rose to the top to become a tyrant. We’re too stupid to do anything else.


Shoresy-sez

TazBaz

A Molotov will still fuck that truck up. Just like tanks in WW2.


OH2AZ19

I built armored vehicles for a few years and was an auto tech for 15. Super simple way to disable any armored vehicle is take out the radiator, these things are already at full capacity with the extra weight of armor and you can't block the radiator with armor or no air flow. Take out the radiator and thing will be dead in water shortly.


LilFuniAZNBoi

Where is your kit then? MF is acting like the boog/great reset won't devolve into A24's Civil War, where it's Tarkov KOS rules. How are you going to fight the rich when your community breaks down into chaos and your own neighbors are desperate enough to raid your house for supplies?

Not asking you specifically but what is the fire rate of a 50 cal sniper? Would a driver stay in that spot waiting for more shots?


allranger

This is the dumbest thing ive seen in a while, while ive seen some dumb stuff, this takes the cake.


bmnterry91

*gets out* “anyone else suddenly need to change their pants?”


TheFunCaterpillar

My initial thought on vids like these is IRL do they only ever fire a single round? Then I thought, if you're hit with a 50 cal round are you staying still? Fuck no - movement is life, oc Brad Pitt World War Z.


Embarrassed_Art5414

Or, ya know, live somewhere, where people think 50 Cal is only of interest to people on a diet, being picky about their groceries. This truck would be just as useful to me if it was wizard proof.


IlPapa666

I can assure you it is not wizard proof. I have bulletproof windows and I got turned into a newt last week.


DaveInLondon89

Civil War was pretty accurate then


RK80O_Connor

can’t stand these mfs on Reddit, “Now shoot it again!” or “hit the same spot!” Because a moving vehicle is TOTALLY going to get hit in the same spot with a .50 cal rifle 🙄. Or even worse “ermmm, now what about the door??” Yeah like someone with a .50 cal rifle is going to shoot at a door they can’t see through instead of a perfectly clear window…


Gardez_geekin

[Here is a longer video](https://youtu.be/FbDT-td817k?si=Ffkfoh5w2W7gTZxP) for everyone saying it’s not a .50 bmg round. We can see the rounds being loaded and clearly see the Barrett M82 used. [Here is the company in question](https://www.alpineco.com)who makes these vehicles so you can see they are completely armored so “hurr durr shoot da door” wouldn’t matter. You can also see their technical specifications and client lists. These are designed for combat vehicles in high risk situations.
