"This guy now has a curvature in his spine." And the VA will still be like, 'not service related.'

Rumor has it Dr. Thumb has been banned from practicing medicine in New Jersey

I love the quick “fuck” when the plane was flying over lol

I'm from Kentucky and I rolled when you said "I don't know if it's the lack of education or what is". By golly, we may not know our times table, but we make some killer .50 ammunition. 😂

Saw an interview with an Army sniper talking about his work in Iraq and specifically about the effectiveness of the M107. He said he and his spotter had set up on a rooftop covering a residential area known to be harboring insurgents. He told the story of a long night taking targets of opportunity until they started taking fire from another rooftop. The shooter was taking cover behind a block wall and popping out to harass the sniper team. The team was out of standard ball ammo for the .50 so he loaded up with the only ammo he had, the raufoss and they waited. Eventually the insurgent took a shot and ducked behind the block wall. The sniper aimed at where he guessed he would be crouching behind the wall and sent a raufoss round. He said the round made a nice clean hole in the front of the wall, but the other side of the patio 10 feet away was splashed with gore. When they eventually made their way over to confirm the kill, the body was gone, but the back of the block was just obliterated with a large area missing and blood spray everywhere. He figured the round had detonated inside the block and turned the brick and concrete into a huge shotgun shell and shredded the insurgent.

When speaking about .50 rounds, "didn't do anything" takes on a new meaning. It no longer means that the round was ineffective, it simply means that it killed the target, but not in a particularly cool or exciting way.

Comparing this channel now to what is was in the beginning is the literal personification of what you become after being handed a dd214 and I love every second of it. Outstanding work boys.

I appreciate you moving the rifle before heading downrange. If someone cant be responsible at this level, they shouldnt be trusted with a gun! Love it

When Garandthumb is wearing a lab coat, you know that he is definitely qualified to do these scientific tests

"I failed out of medical school so that makes me a doctor in NJ" is actually a 100% accurate statement for those of you that don't live there.

“Is he alive?” “No he’s hella dead!” 😂

I can attest that there is a large percentage of post PL 1LTs, pre career course and soon to ETS CPTs who are EXACTLY like Dr GarandThumb. This isnt a bad thing. They bring a element of reality and humor to the situation.

They say “never trust a doctor with a clean coat” that’s why I choose Garandthumb to be my GP

GT: "What is my science experience? Well, for one, I have a lab coat on." Me: "Seems legit enough."

The intro alone always deserves a like from me. So well done gents.

Id love to see bofors 40mm vs Human torso, but getting your hands on one of those may be a bit more interesting. Thanks for the great videos as always Garand Thumb

"This guy now has a curvature in his spine permanently". Ah yes the spine curvature is his biggest problem. I love this channel

I like how he hasn't washed the lab coat at all since he started this video series, likely a guy who admires the fruits of their labor.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you're friend said you could survive a 50 cal.

I love the hint of humour that constantly floats in the air in all your videos XD

I once read a comment that said “not even King Arthur could pull me out of flannel daddy” and I haven’t been the same since, Mike.

Micah is getting really good at the true-crime videography. And the color palette and neutrals in the editing is great

As the dummy lays there on the ground, it says" I cant feel my legs, I think my back might be broken"....

The “what are we doing?” After the second shot really got me 😂😂😂

The lab coat is the most prestigious representation of someone’s scientific background.

5:10 the setup 5:28 M33 660 gr ball 9:17 "spicy candy corn" 13:38 spicy candy corn #2 w/ lv3 armor duct taped to the BACK of dummy, both armor and dummy trashed 18:55 Raufoss Mk 211 on dummy #2 21:36 Raufoss #2 w/ lv4 armor duct taped to the FRONT of dummy 23:24 Raufoss #3 through a car door, ripped shoulder off dummy

The over-the-top goofiness is always appreciated and hilarious

I love that he cant always keep a straight face and giggles now and then lol

“He has a permanent curvature of the spine” Mate, he’s missing his shoulder blades and like 6 vertebrae 😂😂😂

I’m a super sick 38 year old. I sit here year after year alone with nothing to do stuck indoors in my bed all day and night and you literally save my sanity sometimes by giving me something to watch and forget about reality. I appreciate you!

I just happened to discover this channel from a 1 month / weeks old video yesterday. I watched 2/3 since. And omg, stuff changed a lot, he, cameraman skills for actually recording, editing and overall style... And somehow, they still do the same the same way, that's so cool!

The colorgrading in your videos is phenomenal.

“I failed out of med school so that technically makes me a doctor in New Jersey”. I cackled so hard. 😂😂

Man, that's almost as powerful as a 9mm.

It’s the same thing with HEAT rounds. If a tank fires it at a soft target it will go through and detonate on the other side. You need a certain level of “resistance” to give it time to function as designed.

Y’all gotta do all of these tests again when you acquire another high speed camera to go behind the target! This channel is dope, no doubt 🤘

I have used your “spicy candy corn” rounds in the Army. The way the real military ones work is a bit different, more like a fire piston, where deformation of the round creates extreme temperatures and shock. I didn’t think they would work on the dummy at all. Apparently the spine or rib was enough. This was amazing!

Dude… after a couple of years of watching DemolitionRanch, Brandon Herrera and Kentucky Ballistics… bless them all - but this guy is an absolute classic. So much charisma, so much comedy, incredible!

That last explosive shell test alone was pretty sick!

“I think you can survive a .50” *Every man shot with a .50 cal.* “no.”

you know it's gonna be a good one when there's a voice-crack within the first 2 mins

16:00 gives a new meaning to rearanging someones insides

I liked Kentucky Ballistics 50 BMG video so much better. Not only did he do a great torture test on that single shot .50 buuuttttt,, does a great job showing fragmentation blowing up from a bad round. And that ballistics dummy was so real looking moved, bled and even talked like a real person. Even had thumbs. Lol jk. Been watching Garand thumb all day. You guy's are my new favorite YT channel. Great content and you guy's mix it up. Hope you guy's don't end.

His words of advice at the end: "Make sure you drink water." Me: "I feel personally attacked...He's really calling me out here..."

Another shining example of why the Rambo .50 Cal scene is probably the most accurate depiction of a .50 cal ever put on film.

Never really considered the spine being involved in gun shot wounds...but seeing your videos, the spine always gets destroyed with these center mass shots...devastating and gnarly for sure.

Lot of the stuff you guys are doing is very entertaining and funny 😂😂😂😂

You're videos are really second to none out there lately. I'm putting in my vote for long range testing though! No one else has really done long range ballistic dummy tests with various calibers and none could do it better than you guys! Let's see some 5.56 to .300PRC to .50cal out at 400 - 900 yds or something along those lines. Great video.

So what I took away is that this is perfect for home defense as there is little to no over penetration. Just need to swap the .50's muzzle brake for a silencer. To make it hearing safe in my living room.

Probably one of my favourite videos of all time

The 'blew him away" line at the end cracked me up.

As my Sergeant Major once said after a safety brief. “You hear all that stuff. Saftey isn’t paramount. F$&@ SAFETY! VIOLENCE IS PARAMOUNT!”

"Bill Nye isn't a real scientist, he's just an engineer!" That didn't stop Garand Daddy from making these ❤️

Nasty ass rounds man. Great video yall

“What are we doing” under his breath on the way back to collect the spicy candy corn data🤣 too good brother! What a job!

The subtlety of the Baldwin rip was nothing short of beautiful. You're a class act, Dr. Thumb.

13:55 "Holy shit!" "Jesus Christ!" "Holy fuck dude!" "What da fuck!" Gentlemen, you have yourself a new subscriber.

I can’t believe I just found this channel yesterday!

I only watched so i could appreciate the safety drills on that weapon system. Good drills 👍🏻

Dr. Thumb is the kinda guy you can go to that takes cash only and isn't exactly licensed with the AMA but there's few things he can't treat and he never keeps records.

As a New Jersey resident huge thanks to dr garand thumb for being the best doctor we have seen in years

This was my first time watching your video’s and you had me at “I’m Dr. New Jersey “

The start caught me off gaurd haha "why are you here" was not expecting that haha

Garand: " Huh! That was violent! " Micah: " Finally. " Garand: *casually drops severed shoulder*

When Garandthumb looked up at the plane/helo and yelled "fuck" and then had the alex baldwin jab about gun safety I fuckin lost it. Absolutely too good.

im glad i was able to learn some science today thanks to this video.

The last one is so f*cking terrifying! Good job👍🏻

"Something about Kentucky and the .50cal. I dont know if its because of a lack of education or what" That shit had me busting up laughing. Poor Kentucky Ballistics.

I`d love to see a test like this done at different "Combat" distances and then see the difference in the amount of damage inflicted on each test subject, any .50 shot under 300m just becomes a splatter situation, i`d be interested to see the varying effects of different ammo at different distances... Edit : After giving this some more thought... Do a collaboration with 9 Hole Reviews, set up dummies at 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1000m, maybe put standard US Body Armor on each ballistic dummy and then see the varying degrees of damage using different ammo... Won`t be a cheap vid to make but i`m sure will get millions of views!

You know it’s gonna be good when the round is meant for a damn tank

It is possible, though not probable, that if our friend there took that .50 round to the tum-tum while he was on the premises of any hospital not located in New Jersey they *may* have been able to stabilize the patient. He’d lose much of his intestines and bowel so I’m not really sure if he’d want to be saved. Dude, thanks for this content. Your goofy and fun videos always brighten my day.

“We have our FFL on site, as required” *doesnt show FFL holder* Good work, soldier

I wish I could say that dr garandthumb were my favorite videos, but I just can’t do the rest of the channel dirty like that. They’re all great.

Best scientist I have ever seen, mr 👍🏻 you the man

“Grizzly targets dude, apparently you should wear it, you’d still die.” Had me in tears

“The blind make good tape!” I totally lost my shit laughing. Only military guys will get that joke. Great stuff!!!

It's safe to say that a .50 BMG spotter tracer round will quite literally rearrange your guts

Yes I’m glad I found this video cause I’ve had this question for a long time what would happen if you shot someone with an explosive round.

You tube needs to make another thumbs up to click for content like this! Definitely two thumbs up haha! Amazing video guys, keep up with the epic content!!! 👍👍

This might be one of the better examples of what a Warhammer 40k Astartes Bolt-Round could do to a baseline human.

i really enjoy that the camera man is getting more voice time. his commentary is 10/10

9:18 wow! That 9mm is impressive!

My guy here is blasting 50 Cal slugs with a rolex sitting humble on the wrist humble . Respect 😌🤘🏽

That was the most honest and best "JFC" I have ever heard. Also, a bullpup side fed magazine 50bmg??????? Way to go Steyr!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Failed out of med school so that makes me a dr in new jersey " " failed at being a dr in New Jersey so I moved to practice in Montana "

Lol his holder is gone "that was violent" 😂😂😂😂

"Is he alive?" "Nah, he's hella dead but not as dead as I thought he'd be."

The second shot was absolutely the most horrifying contact of any bullet I've ever seen.

I remember seeing a manual for the M40 recoiless rifle saying not to use the attached spotting rifle against personnel. Apparently it's tempting to shoot individual soldiers when you're looking at them through an optic.

you guys should really make a collab with the slowmo guys. would be insane to see those shots at 100k+fps :)

Explosive round: you wanna be very careful with this round. (Proceeds to put it in pocket)

Imagine going to your doctor explaining your issue and he says, "YO WHAT!" Then he puts on a pair of pit vipers immediately afterwards. Best doctor visit ever.

I'm just here to see my daddy who walked out to get cigarettes & Milwaukee's Best and never came back home.

You guys are BRILLIANT, sooooo enjoy science, much regards.... South Africa

Has there been a Garand Thumb + Slow Mo Guys collab? Because that would be seriously amazing.

"What's with Kentucky and the 50 cals?!?" -Scott from K. did chuckle at that 😁

side note, one of the most effective defenses against 50 cal and higher is helicopter fuel tanks. had a 50 punch through our chinooks fuel tanks and slow down enough that it punched through the skin of the bird and then was successfully stopped by the back plate on an army ranger sitting in the troop seat

This is legit the best UKposts video EVER!!!

love the content. keep it up!

14:36 "What are we doing?" Finally reached enlightenment, eh? xD
