The superlative

Oh, I'm gonna miss it now that you've said that.

Dan, I've seen you fire a lot of weapons in our time.

Yeah, I've fired everything you can fire,

apart from, like, a rocket launcher or guided missile, I think.

Thing is I've only ever seen you hit a stationary target.

You're pretty good, but how about we get some moving targets on the go?

I mean, for example, fruit and plates and that.

Thankfully, we have the use of our lovely classic catapult.

and whatever fits, flies. How about that?

Yeah, most people would use a clay pigeon,

We're gonna shoot this at a thousand frames a second in 4K,

but it will be fast enough to see this thing break apart.

Oh, I'm gonna miss it, now you've said that.

'Cause the other one went, like, twice as far.

Right in the middle, but, because it's a pumpkin,

the buckshot goes in and nothing happens to it.

- Oh. - So it doesn't burst  the buckshot.

I think we need to change what we're hitting.

So we're thinking a pumpkin is just a bad target for this,

considering it just absorbs and keeps going. It's solid.

Dan:  Look at it jiggling  in the air like that.

Gav: Yeah, that's actually  the only bit you see, really.

Yeah, it is.  You can't see the buckshot.

Dan:  It's actually like a robotic  arm watching it, isn't it?

Wow. You can see you definitely  fired in front of it  on that shot.

You have to, yeah, 'cause it's  moving actually quite fast.

You know, it just bursts  and spreads everywhere.

Will you trust me enough to stand under it while I'm shooting it?

- No, I don't think   I'd risk it. - No? No?

- You see the wad   go into it there?  - Gav: Yeah.

It's like the thing  that pushes  the buckshot forwards.

Next up I'm going to go for some paint-filled vases.
