Shooting different objects at carfrom @pitviper
[01]
Overview
The creator sequentially tests a high-powered air cannon by loading and firing different objects at a black SUV. He starts with a lemon, then a potato that shatters a window, a can of WD-40 that splatters, a bag of marbles that dents the door, and finally introduces a pack of hot dogs. After each shot, he and others inspect and comment on the damage.
