Watch a PS4 explode at 50,000 FPS

15 November 2013

Sony’s Playstation 4 has now officially launched in the US and Canada and some lucky gamers got theirs early through competitions or mistakes made by couriers.

One of those was Richard Ryan, who uses an array of guns to destroy technology, reviewing the results in 50,000 FPS slow mo.

Ryan uses a .50 caliber Barret M82A1 high-velocity sniper rifle for most of his tests and it packs a serious punch.

The M82A1 is one of the toughest guns on the planet and shoots .416 Barret ammunition at a top speed of 853 metres per second (just over 3,000 kilometres per hour).

On impact, most .416 bullets completely disintegrate, hitting the weak point for massive damage.

When Ryan was done destroying his new console, he offered to give away the matte slot cover with the PS4 logo on it, as well as the Dualshock 4 controller, to his fans. The PS4 itself is completely unbootable. Now, will it blend?
