 Hi friends, it's me and Sophie dropping in real quick to let you know that episode two of my new podcast called TurboDude is streaming live tonight on this channel at eight o'clock Eastern time. Be there or be square. Also, we're gonna see if I can figure out how to cover up the zit on my nose before tonight. Let's get to the feet though, guys. That's a weird sentence out of context. Phantom Pain is having an absolute heyday today, which means it's an excellent day to talk about blowing stuff up. Hello there, my beautiful, lovely internet friends. Welcome, come on wheelchair, back to my channel. Have you ever been bored on the Tuesday and asked yourself, I wonder what it would be like to blow up a prosthetic leg or even better to shoot it? Maybe this is unique to me. As a below the knee amputee, I am so grateful to have a prosthetic leg. In fact, we have multiple prosthetic legs. However, that does not mean that this life does not come with some frustrations. And yes, there are days when I have wanted to blow my prosthetic leg up. So one of you, my lovely followers, sent me a link to this video by a channel called Demolition Ranch called I shot an amputee's leg. I am impressed. I believe they're gonna be shooting prosthetic sockets and seeing what happened. And I am genuinely curious to see how they come apart. Like, is it just a clean bullet hole through it? Does the entire thing just shatter? I mean, this is gonna depend on what type of socket they're using, like what the fabrication was. But I thought we'd take a look at this video together today and take out some deep seated frustration against my prosthetic legs. Welcome to Demolition Ranch. But I brought you legs. You did, bring me legs. So these are all, let me tell you. What are friends good for if not loaning you their body parts? You know, I've always wondered, if I get shot in the leg is it gonna stop it or is it gonna go through it and then I'm gonna need another prosthetic? Yes. Genuinely, I have wondered that as well, which is why I was kind of excited to watch what unfolds here. I don't think that my little carbon fiber socket is gonna stand up in the face of a bullet, but you never know. So you wanna know what this one single layer can stop. It's not even a quarter inch, but it's carbon fiber. Yep. I doubt it's gonna stop at 22. I mean, but I brought a bunch. So I'm guessing, what if you line up a bunch of guys with prosthetics and see. Yeah, like you're in the hospital, the bad guy comes in, you get behind all of your amputee friends, cut off a lot more legs than you guys have. Is this how you lost your leg? God, that's low key a little bit jarring to see someone stabbing off someone's leg, even though it's just a dummy. They felt no pain in the making of this video. Don't worry, soldier. We got you. We can rebuild handy. Today's a gun of the day. It's brand new. I don't know if I can show weapons on YouTube, guys. This is my job. I'm pretty sure YouTube does not look kindly upon weaponry. If it's blurred out, you know what? What? Dude, it did not come out the back. No. That bullet's in there. So you're saying that. Okay, genuinely, I expected the entire thing to explode and it did not go through it. I'm imagining that there are metal components at the bottom there in prosthetic legs. So I'm wondering if those may be stopped. If they shot higher in the socket, I feel like it might go clean through. Don't I sound like a super important ballistics expert? I know about bullets going through things. Okay, guys. Well, it might be in the, in his tibia. It came out red. Oh, okay, okay. But it didn't have enough force to do anything else. Yeah, I would say for sure, you could take a 22 and it's not really gonna do much. All right, stay there, Crispy. Let's go. I have difficulty believing that. Salama looks really cool. Let's get to the feet, though, guys. That's a weird set inside the context. Looks like I'm aiming straight. Okay, we actually did hit it. It went right there, right in the front. Let's see what happened. Yeah, and then it went right out the back. Oh, okay. So, front went in, through his chin, straight out the calf. Yeah, so it turns out my prosthetic socket would not protect me in a battle sort of situation. Not super surprised by that. It is still really interesting to me that it just goes straight through and it doesn't like crack it at all, or like it's just a bullet hole straight through. I mean, you can still survive that. Yeah, you can for sure, but it just doesn't help to have this. Yeah, it seems like having a socket doesn't, you know, help or hinder. I do wonder, though, if a bullet went through a prosthetic socket into a body, if that would like push some of the carbon fiber and if that would be an issue, or if I'm really overthinking it and don't understand how this stuff works. He's gonna get carbon fiber poisoning now, because it's inside. All right, cool, yes. Now I think we line him up and see if you can stop it with all of your injured buddies in front of you. I do appreciate the dark humor, because that is very common in my little community. That means I just gotta carry them all around with me now. Don't you travel in packs, though? We do. We do. Whenever I see a pack of injured veterans, I run. We don't, because... I like that they're now just gonna have feet randomly lying around their property, much like my home. So we're gonna see if all of Krispy's friends can stop a nine millimeter from hitting Krispy. Yeah, that's a good shot. Okay, Eotech's perfect. What flew off the table? It's the bullet. Ow! Is it? Yeah, it's freaking hot. Fascinating. I wonder if it hits something metal? Whoa! Okay, so if I have like Anika and Stevie with me, if we all line up, only one of us will lose the rest of our leg. Seems like a pretty good defensive strategy. So yeah, went in there, came out here, and hit this and bounced straight up in the... I am a shocked. Sockets are maybe perhaps a little bit more resilient than I thought. Or you at least know that this one is gonna protect your left leg. You know, if you get shocked on the side, you're gonna get hit in the nub, but not the good leg. Okay, also a good point, that if I was attacked sideways, as long as it goes into my prosthetic first, that might actually protect my meat leg. Let's face it, the nub's already kinda messed up. Yeah, so it just... When there's a bad guy, nub first. That's the stance. I wanna make nub first into a T-shirt, but I feel like people would take weird connotations from that. Let's try 45, see what happens. 45. Okay, much larger bullet. He went through, through, so it went bam, bam, bam, and then it shot up. Okay, so 45, two prosthetics in front of me, so I would definitely need Annika and Stevie to stand in front of me if I wanted to keep the rest of my leg. Next up, 556 out of the A.C.R. This might explode. Little tiny bullet moving very fast. One, two, three, four, five. Stop right here. Geez. It went through seven. Seven prosthetic sockets. See, that's kinda honestly more of what I expected. Bullets are pretty powerful in my professional opinion, but I guess it would have to be a pretty powerful weapon. Carb fiber's super strong and it's fibers like Kevlar is, but I didn't know if it would stop stuff. What if someone comes in with a shotgun? I feel like this might lead to explosion of a socket. Oh, wow. Yeah, much more. That's like what I expected to happen. Still no explosion though. Yeah, this is oddly cathartic considering I'm very frustrated with having a prosthetic leg this particular day. Destruction. Demolition Ranch, thank you for the video content today. I genuinely had always wondered what would happen if you either blew up or shot a prosthetic socket and knowing that because it's carbon fiber, there are fibers in the carbon fiber. God, I sound smart. It does actually make a lot of sense that it might provide some assistance in stopping a bullet. Good to know. Thank you for joining me on this little journey. Like I said, I don't know anything about Demolition Ranch or Krispy but if you want to check out the original video, I've linked it in the description down below and I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for hanging out with me. I'm gonna go on with my day, probably take a walk, curse my prosthetic legs, maybe blow them up. No, I won't do that. They're very expensive and good to have and I'm very grateful for them. Genuinely am. Love you guys, thinking about you and I will see you in the next video. Bye guys. The second I sat down to film this video, my neighbor decided at 2.55 PM that it is the time to weed below his entire backyard and I hope he's having a great time. I'm not remotely frustrated.
