  Somewhere in Kentucky, there is a man with a tingling neck scar, saying “there’s .50 cal shenanigans somewhere”

  There’s a dude in Kentucky with an itchy neck scar right now. He’s also disappointed that the table is surviving the explosions. . .

  This video shows how strong Kentucky ballistics is. They donated explosives on a table and couldn't break it. He does it with a hammer lol. 😂😂

  We used det-cord to explosively form afterburner liners at P&amp;W. &nbsp; It was wrapped around a Kirksite core which then had a rolled sheet metal shell dropped around it with a multi-piece mold then bolted securely around everything. &nbsp; The whole deal was then put into an underground tank filled with water and capped with a huge metal lid bolted down and a vacuum pulled within for the shot. &nbsp; It shook the ground when fired and the explosion forced the sheet metal out into all the small details in the mold...very neat process.<br><br>The explosives cabinet had many different rolls of det-cord varying by the amount of explosive per foot...and detailed instructions for how many wraps of which level cord was to be used depending on the part being made. &nbsp; One time the guy setting up the shot misread the instruction card and substituted det-cord with 10x the explosives because he missed the decimal point and it actually blew the heavy metal lid off and out into the swamp. &nbsp; This had happened before I got there so this was told to me by one of the &apos;Old Guys&apos;...but I have no reason to not believe him and was VERY impressed with the power of the det-cord.

  &quot;I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if a 50 cal suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.&quot;<br><br>-Kentucky balistics

  That word <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoB0sYTvKAo&amp;t=36">0:36</a> is in fact sublimate which means to skip the liquid phase and go directly from solid to gas. Usually the result of a lot of energy being dumped into a system very quickly.

  Colourizing the ultra-high FR shots is genius! &nbsp;You already have essentially perfect data to colourize in post so you can allocate that processing power to shooting with higher framerate after the first take. Absolutely genius!
