The video opens with the crew unloading battered Toyota Prius cars from trailers, joking about them as the ultimate symbol of the Green New Deal. They debate the best way to get one off the trailer without destroying it prematurely, commenting on its rough condition and extra parts rattling around. Once the Prius is on the ground, it becomes a stress-relief tool. The group gleefully beats on the body panels with tools, denting doors and quarter panels while deliberately trying not to shatter the glass yet. They describe it as every redneck’s fantasy, laughing as they turn the eco-friendly commuter into a mangled range prop. This chaotic warmup sets the tone for the rest of the day’s shooting and explosive antics with Red Arrow Weapons rifles and plenty of ammunition.
After the initial destruction, Clint from Classic Firearms sets up a ballistic test using the Prius as cover. He fires at a target box first with no obstruction, then repeats the shot through the Prius windshield to compare impact and fragmentation. The group studies how the glass deflects and breaks up the round, then switches to a 9mm 124-grain hollow point, again shooting through the windshield while joking about hitting a hypothetical rider. The video transitions into serious vehicle-based defensive shooting drills with Katie. She practices drawing from inside the car, opening the door under stress, and engaging multiple targets around the vehicle. Debris, broken glass, and vision issues from the damaged windshield add realism. They reference medical gear like tourniquets, emphasizing practical defensive skills while still keeping the range-day energy high.
The middle of the video focuses on more structured shooting. The crew runs tactical-style drills around the Prius, moving between positions and engaging steel and paper targets with Red Arrow Weapons AR-15 style rifles. A brief gear discussion highlights a CMMG-style .22 LR AR-15 conversion kit that everyone enjoys at deer camp, noting how it allows cheap, low-recoil practice in the same platform. The tone shifts into comedy with an Uber skit: a Prius “driver” picks up heavily armed passengers, playing on the stereotype of ride-share cars and the earlier abuse of the hybrid. After the gag, they review results from a slow-fire round, where the speaker scores five hits and Katie lands three, comparing performance and accuracy before turning attention to the main event—blowing up a Prius with an enormous Tannerite charge.
Attention turns to the explosive finale: loading a Prius with approximately 330 pounds of Tannerite for a massive detonation. The crew frames it as both a Fourth of July celebration and the third anniversary of Red Arrow Weapons. They highlight the American-made Red Arrow Weapons RAW10MB semi-automatic .308 AR-10 style rifle, with its 18-inch stainless fluted barrel and 2.5-pound trigger, chosen to ignite the charge from a safe distance. On command, the shooter sends a .308 round into the Tannerite, triggering a colossal explosion that produces a towering mushroom cloud and obliterates the car. Airbags burst, debris rains down, and the group reacts to the sheer power of the blast. The segment underscores the destructive capability of 300-plus pounds of binary explosive when precisely placed and remotely initiated.
In the aftermath, the crew confirms the explosion is complete, everyone is accounted for, and there are no fires or lingering hazards. The blast was so intense that multiple fire departments and sheriff’s offices received calls from miles around. Three fire trucks from three different counties arrive on scene, along with sheriff’s deputies, expecting a major incident. A responding official explains that several units were dispatched before learning the explosion was a controlled Tannerite detonation on private property. The shooters clarify that they had safety measures and people on standby but admit they probably should have notified authorities beforehand. After confirming the area is safe and the event is over, they thank the firefighters and deputies, put the units back in service, and close the video by thanking participants and viewers for joining the outrageous Prius-blowing celebration.
