Slow-mo Russian Bullet Proof Balloons

OK, first a foremost. No, there aren't any bullet proof balloons [I think, conspiracy theorist are probably having at it...], but there is something else entering the world that is and then there's something about a balloon. Let's for sake of order start with the Russian bit shall we?



[What we have here is a "Taste of Awesome" pie with some "Friggin sweet" whip-cream on top.]-->








That vehicle there is Russia's little gift to every facny pants McBig-spendy, or just you're good ol' red blooded American who desires to have a fast car you can't shoot through.
This is the Dartz Prombron Nagel. So, basically, it's the Nagel. [Think Bagel but with an "N"]
A beastly cross between a Tank and a Sports Car. [Just in case you couldn't decide]

Seriously, look up "Rugged" in the dictionary and you'll see this car.
All that bullet deflecting brawn on the outside ain't just for show, Inside she's just as mean. Its "To Be Announced" engine boasts a rumored 2,000 horse power and the speedometer tops out at 250 kph or 155mph. Not bad for a Coupe.





The Nagel, has the capability of toeing a 10,000 pounder yacht. [You know, in case you want to spend the weekend out on the open seas with the fam, but you have to pass through those pesky guerrilla camps along the way.]
Not too shabby really, despite those tiny doors. Let's face it, you ain't gonna be the Staypuft and get to ride in the bullet proof car.



OK, now to the balloon. YouTube every month does a compitition called "On the Rise." The program where you decide which up-and-coming YouTube partner gets a spot on the homepage. Well this month, a group called "Slow-Mo Guys" took the prize. Led by a couple fellas known as, Gavin Free and Dan Gruch. For those of you who know. Gavin is also an employee of RoosterTeeth, the kings of Machinima. [You know, Redvs.Bue]

Anyway, Gav and friend have found themselves in the possession of a high tech camera with the ability to record up to some 1,000 frames per second, and they've been at it for a few years now. The link below is really awesome, and it's one of the videos that won them the competition. If you have the free time or the desire, you should check out the rest of their stuff.
