  • it sure is fun.. but nver teach ur studnt with diz techique.....

  • Gmod can do better, thats my two cents.

  • We tried GMOD, it failed. D:

  • You replied a whole year after I posted? lal

  • Funny how a video game is used for a physics class, I think my teacher would have a heart attack if I showed up to class with a video like this(lol). Great idea though for using it :)

  • You stupid fuckers, all youve said so far is crap. The main reason why this wouldnt work is because, if he were to go out that far, the shhoter would have to fly back the same distance. Id say that the shooter is lighter than the target, so in fact, she'd have to fly back even further!!

  • Remedy went for the cinematic, not the realistic.

  • You do realize, the physics are emulating John Woo movies? They are not going for real, like Half Life 2, but are going for the bodies being blasted, and flying through the air, as you run in slow motion.

  • See comment above. Class analyzed situation and determined it was unreal for either bullet to cause the man to fly that far.

  • If you researched the game, even a little bit, you would have already known.

    A class would have to be dumb to not think it was unreal.

  • You would be surprised.

  • then depending on how far u r if u next to tht guy and shot him he would go higher than think

  • also understand that those r ragdoll they created like that they can walk because it puts a number of moves.

  • Interesting exposition. This is part of the reason why I scoff at games which advertise "great new physics systems!"

    Ragdoll bodies are not real ones. Even when fatally shot, people lose control of their limbs slowly.

  • Of course.

    But the point of the video was not to demonstrate how people lose control of their limbs when they get shot, but more of how conservation of momentum works.

    The first bullet had more velocity than the second bullet so should cause the man to go further.

    When the class actually analyzed the situation, the students determined that neither bullet had sufficient mass nor velocity to cause the man to go that far.

  • It's the funny thing about recoil and energy transfer in entertainment, isn't it? People always forget that for every push, there is an equal push in the opposite direction.

    It's great you're using video games to teach physics in class. Now that's what I call giving examples students can relate to.

    Isn't there one caveat to the conservation of momentum? Because entropy always steals away some energy, is the amount of work done by the reaction force always less than the original force did?
