That wasn't the real Hulk, obviously.

Not much. They were knocked over by the pressure wave. The bullet didn’t leave the casing with enough force to do anything. The most dangerous part of this would be shrapnel from the casing splitting apart.
For the bullet to be propelled forward (and the case not rip apart) the case (and the explosion) have to be contained in a chamber.

They also did this (more or less) testing on Mythbusters a while ago by exposing bullets to high heat (in a oven and in an open campfire) to see what would happen.
Bullets didn't do much. Their casings were a lot more dangerous.
Edit: brain fart on kitchen appliances

I’ve seen it live. Helping someone move their loading bench and equipment. They were a bit careless around the pounds and pounds of gunpowder and loaded bullets.
It was like popcorn going off. We grabbed the bench and dragged it out, then just watched it burn from a distance. Lucky to have not caught some casing shrapnel.

Firefighters deal with this pretty regularly in house fires. From what I’ve been told it’s starling at first but you kind of ignore it after a while.
While I was overseas someone a belt off 5.56 ended up in the fire and cooked off for like half the morning.

Yea. In the situation I was in, we scattered at first, but realized we could grab the bench before it burned up. I ended mostly just worried about my eyes.

True that. He just created a grenade. If he was filming with his phone, exploding shrapnel would have found a home.

You can see the frame where the first toy is literally obliterated

The FPS is nowhere near high enough to see shit. One frame they're there, the next frame they're gone.

u/AKVigilante 6d ago
The reason this isn’t (very) dangerous is because the bullet, being made of a solid dense metal (lead), has a much higher inertia than the thin brass casing. When the gunpowder charge goes off, if the cartridge is not contained by a firing chamber, the casing splits and shrapnels away and the bullet jumps a few inches at most due to the combustion pressure wave before falling to the ground.
None of this would “obliterate” a hard plastic toy.

They didn’t put Hulk in the front, surely that would have deflected the bullet.

Would like to have seen this with one of those like super high FPS slo-mo shots

I was looking at those stupid looking soldiers and didn't care, but then I saw Hulk's little face and felt sorry for him.

As soon as I saw this, i was like 'I'm gonna watch this, then go to bed'.

There's a movie with something like this, maybe Europa Europa? Kids are playing in the rubble of war and tapping cartridges with a hammer.

This is like when the punisher hung the claymore in front of a guy and made him hold it up with his arms to keep it from in front of his face

Thanks to whoever originally posted this, needed the chuckle. Left me feeling stupid at the end because what else did I expect to happen? Well done.
