Using a co gun should work. I have an umarex and that thing hits hard, and it’s possible an ice bullet may penetrate, but it depends where it’s shot at.

Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 week agoIIRC they busted it because the heat and pressure from the gunpowder just blew the ice bullet apart upon firing and I do not recall them doing the thing where they just made it work. I think it could have worked if they used compressed air instead of the normal way a bullet is fired. It at least wouldn’t have the heat so maybe.

Are co guns really that much more gentle on a projectile? I would have thought the force of the expanding gasses would be similar. It’s basically just a pressure explosion vs a chemical one, no?
This is why we need mythbusters…
Maybe some YouTuber that was inspired by them can help.
Hell, I’m actually a videographer I shouldn’t really need help with that. I’m just not motivated to make big projects for my own sake most of the time. So, If you make an ice bullet and fly me out to you we can be mythbusters lol.

I mean the biggest difference is is there’s no heat generated during my process. There’s actually a YouTuber I just watched two days ago with a t-shirt gun that is significantly more powerful than the 50 cal or 68 Cal guns that I use. And he was able to fire a frozen t-shirt multiple times to the point where it actually took the head off of a ballistics dummy literally ripped it off with the amount of force that it was firing at 150 psi. And at no point in time did the T-shirt thaw. There’s a couple of YouTubers out there that do quite a bit of eragon reviews and testing out there. I’m betting that one of them would be willing to test a frozen projectile out of one of them. So long as the projectile itself didn’t start to melt significantly during the waiting process so essentially load and then fire. I think something more like a burner would be much better than the umer x due to the way it loads into the gun itself.

They tried a meat bullet don’t think they got it working either. In the movie it was never supposed to work the person firing the ice bullet was being setup his target set the whole thing up to arrange for someone else to be killed and the sniper with the ice bullet would take the blame.
