Ambiance and musicy things by: Gordon McGladdery did the outro music the video.
The thought is it my efforts making videos will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for my kids college education. Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please SHARE THE VIDEO!

If you REALLY liked it, feel free to pitch a few dollars Smarter Every Day by becoming a Patron.

You do a good job of balancing looking at and respecting firearms, while also geeking out over the science behind them.

P.S. Got accepted at UAH!

[gaylordpantamime]

The fact that you felt the need to apologize for simply enjoying firearms really depresses me it's like liking firearms nowadays is a sin

[tylers.]

You aren't glorifying weapons, you are glorifying physics. Proper education of suppressors and firearms is important.

[HuGenitals]

Sucks that you have to toss up all kinds of disclaimers regarding your choice of personal interest.

[VSO_Gun_Channel]

As someone who does ALOT of testing for silencer companies. This video further validates nearly everything that I have spent my career doing. Many things that you didn’t even scratch the surface on are present in this video. Thank you.

The reason that the shockwaves don't immediately appear on the bullet after it leaves the muzzle might just be that the airflow in that region is also going fast and in the same direction, so that the bullet isn't supersonic relative to the air in that region

Hey Destin, your friends rifle was made by a dear friend of mine. Unfortunately he passed away a few year ago. But I can tell you with certainty that he would have been fascinated by this video and all of the invisible physics you have made visible. Thank you!

[TheOriginalCoolDad]

Destin, Honestly, I originally found your channel through my interest in ballistics (along with several other channels I follow) and I love the content you put out. I spent 24 years working in EMS and developed a keen interest in ballistics there. Even though I left the field, the science still intrigues me (as does most science, Physics is absolutely amazing to me in general). I hope no one is hating on you for the fact that you use firearms to demonstrate the science behind ballistics, because it is a fascinating subject that doesn't require one to be a 'gun nut' to appreciate. Thanks for being awesome man!!

"This is great! We're like, learning new stuff!"
For me, this is the spirit of this channel. Thanks for the video Destin!

[jamesscott]

I don't feel like you should have to justify your research. Guns are cool, and that's okay!

[TobyGarcia]

This is one the only channel for which I have ever clicked the notification bell. Thank you, Destin, for the thought provoking content and thoughtful commentary.

[miranda.cooper]

Destin, I encourage you to never say sorry for including guns in any of your videos as long as you're safe with them and you're teaching us something about them. Also, don't start putting fake titles on your videos (pointing fingers at a certain Youtuber with this one, but not you).

[edmawhinney]

There's tons of amazing science involved in wepons ballistics. I've never felt like you have "glorified" weaponry

[erind.t.e.]

Destin, thank you for being a paragon of self-improvement and open mindedness! Your respect and genuine curiosity is rare, and you have been so generous in sharing that. I think I understand why so many people enjoy collaborating with you. Here’s to you, your family, your journey - and to getting smarter everyday, cheers!

[Jabrils]

Yo Destin can you adopt me man? I am never behind on taking out the trash duty.

[TrailFeatures]

4:30 Heh heh... The gun poot'd. 💨

[marknasia]

Ok i have to make some assumptions, positive assumptions, but i love that you include your family in your videos, and how they are a part of the learning process. It speaks volumes of how well you were raised by your parents and they have to be very proud. Thank you so much for using the internet for what it was intended to do, educate on the “information superhighway” and get Smarter Everyday

6:33 "This is insane, we're just like, learnin' like, important stuff!" Me, when I watch SmarterEveryDay every day

You shouldn’t have to apologize for liking guns whether it’s for hobby or for science. Also great video. I found it strange that there was unburnt powder leaving the barrel due to its length. It wasn’t much but the company who designed the round said it should all be burnt at around 9 inches (like your friend said).

[ElLocoMonkey]

Its science. Pretty sure most people watching this can look past the gun debates. As a "liberal" all I can say is I enjoy guns. Keep doing your thing.
