Richard over at RatedRR is at it again, this time around he is showing you how real exploding arrows work. Don't try this at home folks!

It said thermite on the one part,So much win. I wonder what types of explosives he was using.

"You don't need an assault arrow. A double barrel shotgun is all you need... If there are bad guys on the property, walk out on the balcony and fire a couple blasts from the double-barrel shotgun..."
Italics mine.
What moron in high office said that guys?
I don't have hobbies this fun.
I want some guns.
Watching that watermelon, I can't help thinking what it would look like if someone's head caught that arrow. We should bring in some terrorist prisoners and try it.
Interesting bit of the video is around 3:09-3:11 when the had his direct impact explosive, you can see what looks to be the arrow coming through the blast of the watermelon, it's even wobbling like an arrow does. Now if the explosives were on the front wouldn't the force of that kind of stop the arrow from continuing forward? Or did he try to pull one over on us by loading the watermelon up with explosives and just firing an arrow at it?
Depends on the shape of the charge...if the chamber containing the explosive was formed around the shaft then the explosion would radiate outwards and exert equal pressure on all sides of the shaft of the arrow allowing it to continue to move forward. The watermelon could also be acting as a buffer of sorts allowing the arrow to remain intact. Its possible that if it was detonated in air that it would blow the arrow apart.

I used to work with explosives as part of a job, you usually only get the chance to make one mistake.
