00:00This is a rapid-fire crossbow that shoots darts
00:04And this is a mega crossbow that shoots mega darts and today
00:09I invited the basketball content king of YouTube to face off against me in a mini crossbow target shootout
00:14Let's go, but what he doesn't know is that my crossbow is anything but mini
00:19Let's do this
00:22Mark Mark I'm outside. Oh come on in welcome to crunch. Thank you. This place is amazing bit of a competition today
00:28We're building this beauty. That's sick. You can see the accuracy. This is just your level accuracy you get a box, okay?
00:35I get a box 20 minutes on the clock
00:38What do we do build it? We have to build it all right? I got this all right first crunch slabs build okay
00:44I'm very nervous cuz Mark literally made these but I'm gonna try my best step one is just like a sticker put the foam on
00:49It easy yeah
00:52The build starting to feel good. I really want to beat Mark final step boom okay now test fire
00:58Make sure it works. Let's go. It's perfect mark. I actually finished it in time mark. I won
01:07How did you build that well Jester we built the mega crossbow with industrial-strength bungees that can exert
01:131,700 pounds of force which I suppose by comparison
01:17Maybe a bit of overkill I believe in your world they call this home court advantage
01:22This is insane, so I figure we just have a little friendly competition right wait
01:26I have to use that if you look you use what you built Jester you didn't build this in 20 minutes
01:33Actually, I did
01:43Alright, we'll start with the classic six red cup shooter see how many you can knock off the pedestal stare you down mark
01:49I
01:54Would recommend looking okay
02:08Alright hey remember you only get one shot Jester. I only need one shot, okay
02:14No way that's the sound of power. I was more efficient though. I already been shot twice. I'm going so slow
02:22firing in three two one
02:36Good when I win I did sort of miss the cops
02:40Oh
02:46My goodness well, I mean technically you won that challenge. Let's go
02:50We have way more targets to shoot out however these poor crunch slabs walls need some reinforcements
02:56That should do nice
02:58Oh
03:08As we fired more and more targets it quickly became clear that the regular crossbow had better accuracy I got this
03:16However it was no match for the mega crossbow in terms of raw destructive power
03:22By the way why this one's way too big to get shipped to your house
03:26You can get the super cool one Jester's using by simply visiting crunchslabs.com with your parents to learn more
03:32So we decided to mix up the competition to see who can correctly predict the crossbows destructive capabilities against increasingly
03:39Extreme objects and to decide who gets the first crossbow launch we faced off in a best-of-three basketball shootout going for three for three
03:47Yes
03:51I
03:54Gotta get at least two. Oh, you can take this deep breath
04:05Bro, what was on the line? No, it counts. It counts. It counts someone FaceTime. Mr. Beast. I need redemption for the win
04:12And
04:20After the greatest upset in YouTube history
04:22We moved on to the first of our destruction prediction challenges eight layers of one and a half inch thick ice
04:29Okay, I think it might get through like two why I just feel like this is probably the same thickness of the wall
04:34Right, and this is kind of blunt which is why we're not gonna use this Chester. We're not using that. We're using this
04:40It's like a rocket shoe, this is the silver baby wait, that's insane. I
04:47Think it'll do four. It's so powerful. You said 1,700 pounds of force. I think it'll do fun
04:54All right
04:54I think it's gonna do all eight and hit the concrete and hit the car only one way to find out
04:59This is like a tank
05:01Go through all the walls go through just five ready to launch the silver bullet in three two
05:10Oh
05:19Two three four and would it broke the wood I think it's skimmed out
05:25I think we need to give another go and try it a dozen hundred percent. We need to run that back
05:29Okay, here we go. Three two
05:40Wow
05:43One two, three four I said for you
05:50How strong is this ice
05:55Are you okay ice is heavy there you want to try it's kind of satisfying
06:02And the sound is like so satisfying
06:09All right, Jesse, what do you predict I honestly think it's gonna go through one of the bottom boxes out the other end hit the
06:15Concrete I just predict we're gonna see a lot of packing peanuts flying through the okay
06:26Those boxes are powerful solid oak mark, I literally only see one
06:31I
06:37Really thought it would go through I think because it's sort of weak you like absorb a lot of the energy
06:42Well, the crates win this round. Yeah, but I kind of wanted to see a lot of packing peanuts
06:46We can still make that happen
06:48Oh
07:00These crates are just amazing
07:05I'm coming in. This is comfy. I like this nice
07:11They
07:14Need a drop of packing peanut mattress, I'm copping. Yeah, I'm there. That's our new merch idea
07:19I like it with our first billion dollar idea in the bank
07:23We loaded up some giant balloons to see if it would just flex or pop in a spectacular fashion
07:28Okay, I've been wrong in every prediction you would think it would easily go through all three
07:31But I'm saying two because I think it's gonna go like this. Oh, yeah, you have little faith
07:35I think it's going dead nuts right through. Let's see. Okay
07:40I
07:49Swear I went like sideways. I kind of felt like it did too. I'm not sure how but yes
07:54Regardless the balloons are popped and with another W in the bag for team Robur
07:58We moved on to putting our future luck on the line with eight
08:02Tantalizingly breakable mirrors. First of all, can I just point out pair of handsome devils right there? Especially you mark?
08:07Come on now my prediction for this one. I'm going to all eight. It's destroying it. I love the optimism
08:14I'm sticking with four. Okay, wait, why not all eight? You sure you don't go five? No, no, no, not again
08:20All right, eight mirrors seven years of bad luck. That's 56 years of bad luck. In fact here. Why don't you push this way?
08:26Okay, we push it the same time. Okay, not that superstitions are real, but you know, just in case three two one
08:37Oh
08:44Okay, you do believe
08:47Well, it didn't go through all of them we could say that much wait, what's it for please before one two, three
08:57You know, it's gonna look really sick the slow-mo shot roll it
09:01Oh
09:04That's awesome
09:06Going into our last round undefeated. It seemed Jester had finally found a winning strategy my prediction for this one
09:12I'm stealing your number four. I'm going with four. You know what that means? What I'm going with eight
09:17You think you can break eight?
09:20You're kind of right. All right Lego wall. Let's go eight. Bring you back in three two one
09:31Oh
09:37Look a Lego made it all the way over here. That's why we have the production. That's right. That thing saved our lives
09:44Well, it doesn't look like eight
09:46Wait three, baby. Oh three. I've kind of always wanted to do this. Yeet
09:54That was epic that looks so fun
10:00Well, so technically neither of us was right I have an idea for a tiebreaker, what is it hold please? Okay, I'm holding
10:09First one to throw the bowling ball all the way through wins the round. Do you want to throw first?
10:14I'm going through all the walls
10:26Okay, technically you did win that but I want my own go
10:31Oh
10:38Okay, Jester you've been such a delightful guest here today at crunch labs
10:42We have one final challenge and I think I'm actually just gonna bring this in. I'm excited. Stay here. Stay here. Okay
10:48Are you serious? Oh, yeah. I didn't know you were that strong either
10:54Oh, yeah, it's all me that's for sure
10:56This is so ridiculous. There's no expense pal brand-new Jag brand-new. Well, I think it's rusty
11:03All right. What's your prediction for this one? Best-case scenario explosion
11:08Yes, I predict it's going through all four windows
11:12It's gonna go through two. It's gonna hit this in that block. It's gonna bounce back and go through the other two
11:17I'm thinking is just a little gap actually only time will tell final shot. Let's go
11:23three two one
11:33That was actually kind of cool
11:40You think this door still works, oh, yeah Wow good as new
11:44It doesn't close. You just gotta kind of lean like this. So Chester you kind of won every competition
11:50You were spot-on with the prediction. I'm gonna say you win the car. I win this car
11:55The Jag is yours. I'm basically mr. Beast is giving out cars. No one's ever done something like this for me before
12:01She's all yours. Um, she doesn't run but you'll figure it out. Thank you, dude. Oh, look this fell off, too
12:08You're welcome Chester
