The Burning Wick of a Candle Shot Out With an Air Pistol in 28,000 fps Slow Motion

Gavin Free and Dan Gruchy competed to see who could shoot out the wick of a burning candle with an air pistol, and because they are The Slow Mo Guys they filmed it at 28,000 fps. The winner gets to claim internet glory, while the loser had a football thrown at his head.

Gav and Dan are always up for a challenge. Today, they use the most inaccurate air pistol to put out a flame from about" 3 metres away. Pretty hardcore.
