Hey guys on this episode of Make It Real we're building the resistance crossbow
from half-life that's right it shoots red-hot rebar this video is sponsored by
next games which allowed us to build this awesome weapon for hunting the
undead now obviously we're gonna need quite a bit of steel for this project so
we're gonna go to the supermarket! "The supermarket?" Yeah, The metal supermarket.
Alright so how are we gonna build the half-life 2 resistance crossbow well as
you can see I've got some nice blueprints here a screenshot from the
video game so let's figure it out the beauty with this project is it's
literally made of scrap materials in the game which means we can actually make it
look just like this quite easily so first of all we're gonna need some box
tube we've got right here now the trickiest part about building a crossbow
is probably the release mechanism so we're gonna cheat elope so we just got a
cheap crossbow here how they can see it's actually a pretty slick little
crossbow we could actually modify this to become
the resistance crossbow but I'd rather make it look just like the one in the
game we could also make use of the existing limbs but I think it'd be
cooler to try and use this so this is actually a truck leaf spring and might
be a bit powerful yeah it bends a little bit I think we're probably gonna have to
remove a few of these extra pieces of steel oh yeah I think that'll do the
trick now because the weapon we're making is gonna be really accurate we're
gonna need a scope so I picked up this airsoft scope which is actually a 4x
scope complete with illuminated red and green crosshair like I'm kind of joking
like it's not gonna be accurate but we've got the scope because as you know
adding a scope adds 10 plus accuracy points alright so as you can see in the
design the limbs actually this is actually technically a compound crossbow
where is the cross but we have is just a regular one so we're actually use these
pulleys and add them to the ends of our crossbow limb next step will be to
actually cut a groove out of these two is in order to hit the pulleys inside
all right time to take apart a crossbow and see how we can make use of the
components we have all right so we're going to start by trimming off all the
unnecessary parts of the original crossbow so we're gonna cut off the tail
stock molten plastic grouse Dremel probably would have been a better idea
but too late okay you gotta remove the fun cool part yeah so we might have to
go a bit off the plan first of all the actual trigger mechanism is behind the
grip
and I wish these well a bit prettier
now I was thinking imagine this is a very expensive and time-consuming
project in fact we wouldn't even be able to do it if not for a sponsor so I'd
like to take a minute and tell you a bit about this game I've been playing it's
called The Walking Dead no man's land I've put a link in the description below
including a special offer that's only available right now
it's a turn-by-turn strategy game so if you're the kind of person who likes
playing chess or checkers you'll probably like it the best part is it's
an officially licensed walking dead game which means you get to play the
characters from the show in actual walking dead locations including
Alexandria during my trip down in Michigan for the artprize with Ian I
played this game for hours and made it pretty far it's kind of addictive during
your turn you move your characters around every time you move the zombies
move too which means you'll have to use a bit of strategy and problem-solving to
get out of tight places and beyond adventuring you also get to set up your
camp build up your fortress and defend it and if your fan of the TV show The
Walking Dead you're gonna recognize the in-game characters like Rick's and shown
Ezekiel Daryl and even negan who's a special character you can get for free
right now if you use my download link below when the newest updates the game
includes a new game mode called the distance which is a biweekly event or
you play a survival mode there's also a new crafting mode lets you collect
components and craft badges for your survivors to increase their attributes
the game is available on Android iOS and pretty much every other device so if you
like zombies saving humanity and being a certified apocalypse survivor download
the game for free today the offer is only available right now so
go ahead and click the first link in the description below alright let's finish
this crossbow I think Daryl will need it now honestly
it's not actually as heavy as I thought it would be I mean it's pretty heavy
it's gotta add some stuff to it but I can flex with my fingers I'm just scared
to pull it all the way oh my god
all right so we've been able to actually draw and fire the crossbow which is
pretty awesome so we had a bit of difficulty when we made it it was just
too damn powerful and what we did try and fix that was first we machined slots
into the limb of the crossbow so it'd be a bit easier to actually drop back that
still wasn't enough so we made the slots even bigger and we actually used our
mock CNC milling machine to do a nice little curve right here unfortunately it
was still actually really hard to draw back now we didn't want to weaken it
anymore so we decided to turn to a compound crossbow we actually went out
we bought better higher rage pulleys that are a bit smaller we're going to
replace them with so let's do that right now
which means we have to actually now add the most iconic part which is the actual
heating of the rebar part so we've got a few copper bus bars which were actually
a machine in our time our CNC machine had a slight groove for the piece of
rebar to sit in them males here what is it just you it's a are five hundred
proof steel yeah we're making the frying-pan from pub G we're seeing how
much current it takes to heat up one of these projectiles so we have two car
batteries in parallel now hypothetically we should be able to get about 2,000
amps out of these ready
well she getting red-hot how's her current there we go look at
that red-hot yeah okay yeah good job you have one directed by the Red Hot 900 the
dropping yeah for that ant hey 50 so as you can see there's also a
sweet spot before the red-hot metal it gets highly unstable just for shits and
giggles we're gonna see how much power will take to heat up actual rebar
there's some pretty good sparks so the other issue with actual rebar is because
it's all rusty and rough it is super hard to actually get a good contact so
honestly the other option is probably better if I would loo that I cut through
the arc yeah test two
today we can't fit two car batteries on the bottom of our cross now we're gonna
power this crossbow we thought we were gonna be able to use some of the normal
zippy lipo batteries that we had already but it turns out they're not powerful
enough and in the game they use a what looks like a six volt lantern battery
and that would just not heat up a piece of rebar so we're gonna have to use some
modern technology each of these can actually put out 250
amps which means all aid in them together what's that around two thousand
amps plus they have a peak discharge rate of double that so that means
hypothetically we can put out 4000 amps that's almost 30 kilowatts of energy are
you guys staring now we want to make this look as close to the crossbow in
the game as possible so we're gonna disguise these light bows as lantern
battery and to do that I got some yellow duct tape ha and there you have it one
lantern bed
so we still need to connect the power wires from the battery to the contactor
which connects to this copper bus bar here and in the battery to connect
directly to the bus bar in the front making it short on the rebar in between
them now before we did the X we're basically
now to take off take apart the entire gun just to fit the wire through the
inside of the gun we've got to add a stirrup so we can actually load this
thing okay you give that beep three it's like if that mechanism failed as I'm
pulling my fingers there hmm the safety didn't auto engage that time
please work trigger mechanism all right so just for a point of reference we're
gonna try shooting a regular crossbow to see how it compares to the one we built
that's so easy cross puzzle cool yeah once again this is how easy 135
pounds draw a cross bill it's below just like that cannot do that on mine
well sure what's more since a little you can't dry fire these things yeah we
shouldn't shoot this one I saw another one somewhere
I like crossbows hey back to our craft oh come on
three two one
all right first test of the crossbow we're not going to eat anything up just
yet but let's see if it can shoot a regular arrow oh you go at me okay ready
all right let's move on to some more serious firepower more serious
ammunition and bent it oh my god let's shoot it from the ground I have to hold
it holy shit yes that's my sparks here we
go why is it not turning red
there we go holy
and I'm gonna aim for this shoot holy Sh I hit the Apple zoom and zoom in get the
steam
I chased really good for us alright I missed it but half her skulls
gone
oh boy
yeah let's talk about what we're going to test the song we actually picked up
some Ivan heads from zombie go boom but unfortunately these things don't come
with brain matter on this episode of cooking with a hack Smith we're making
ZOMBIE BRAINS we don't have a lid do it it's in the messy you know we don't have
a lid have you guys ever seen chicken hearts before
what's the candy that's shaped like this no Swedish great alright play a gumdrop
but like I like that they're weird oh yeah throw any eggs in fridge
this was actually an CH he graciously donated to cooking with Zack Smith yeah
they think things are bad man that is nasty I guess I'll just I'll Jam a few
chicken hearts in
I'm a chicken
hammer and there you have it zombie brains made a lot of extra you
want some oh hello my name is Gordon Hackman and I'm a research associate at
the Black Mesa facility in the anomalous materials department at least I was
until everything kind of went sideways so I've had to create this weapon to
deal with the issues we've been having so let me show you how it works all
right now it's time to test our highly experimental weapon for killing head
crabs I mean zombies I guess we gotta draw
this first now for the purposes of this test we want to make sure we have a
exact baseline for the weapon so we're gonna be shooting it from this platform
as opposed to actually holding it all right so ready to test safety off
what really sliced the head open there
tick - I don't think I've ever seen this happen during I haven't had before so I
think we I I didn't actually holy crap I
didn't quite get to the red-hot part so that's why it's not a fire he's not
having a good day yeah yep what so in the game when these red-hot rebars stick
into a frigging concrete that's just that would never happen because once
it's red-hot its malleable it is soft as you can see here like it literally
became like I almost lay a little corkscrew and pretty much all of them
have bent so so one thing half life probably got a little bit wrong with the
the physics in that game among other things
yeah I'd say that's pretty effective all right so the resistance crossbow proves
pretty effective against zombie heads especially because it actually lights
some on fire so even if you don't get a critical hit you're lighting that
zombies head on fire and they're not gonna last very long after that but we
got finished this guy and I got a crowbar
oh Jesus Christ those things are hard yeah I'm a lot more impressed with the
bullet went through him now like seeing how hard this skull is
there we go
all right final test big bolt super red-hot we're gonna see what it looks
like in slow motion when it literally squiggles itself on this plywood skid
all right so we're likely pumping around 15 to 20 kilowatts of electricity into
this piece of steel and it is just glowing orange hot it is going to start
melting soon we need to shoot it ready I didn't go to squealy he's definitely
wood flying but better if we actually had some well I hope you guys enjoyed
