Ever thought what a 90mm Cannon would do to a 5k iMac?

Computer slowness getting you down? or, maybe you’re just getting tired of Macs. FullMag fired a T8 anti-tank gun at it and see what the destruction looks like. Hearing about it is one thing, but seeing it in slow motion is taking it to another level of curiosity, see the destruction here.

That reminds me - when is Trump debating Hillary?

Starred Lee Marvin. It was in reruns for a long time in the 6os. Good show.

In his slimmer and lighter mass days, I believe he was a P-51 instructor.

Perhaps a strafing run would be in order, with all 6 .50s converging on the iMac?

So, if the target had been a PC running Linux, PC using Windows10 or a Microsoft ‘Surface’, the difference would have been - what?

I am thinking ‘force majeure’ plays here!

> Footage taken by a maker of swords shows the round being unable to penetrate the Apple product.

Awww, I dunno, I think even Swordmaker would admit that this particular round accomplished considerable customization of the computer. :-)

How well does a 5K iMac stand up to a 90mm artillery round? Uh, not well at all. YouTube video shows how not well, if you are into artillery destruction of expensive all-in-one technology for hell of it. Artillery Porn. — PING!

iOS 10 will have a fix for this kind of situation, won’t it?

Why would someone do this to a $1800 computer? Sick!

The Untouchables sometimes used Thompsons but that was an earlier time.

Ever notice in most of the bang, bang shows the full auto never hits anyone and the hero comes in with a nine millimeter hand gun and takes them all out? Oh yeah the full auto never seems to run out of ammo.

You didn’t see the alternative footage (well, granted, no one else has either). AND there was a multi-paragraph explanatory statement as to how the round could not possibly have harmed the Apple product. Because that simply does not happen. :-)

He is probably upset that Apple hasn’t updated their computers in 4 years.

No, but I’ve often wondered what effect such a projectile would have on your (un)friendly neighboring ISIS member...
