I wish the test was more “real world” though. Blast some big boulders from the wall behind it and see what it will do against that.

because big boulders weight more than big weights? I think when a rock falls its not blasted out of place traveling faster than terminal velocity as seen in this test.

I just think it would be cool to blast something. I could care less about the “test”. 😃
