Of course it is. No question 
I was giving you my informed hunch. I’m sure in the right circumstances, bad things can happen to an implant.
12.7 mm BMG doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as nice
There’s no metric war here: a lot of ammo is denominated in inches, and listed as such in the European C.I.P. standards.
i mean… kinda… the crush tester is not an impactor it slowly and cruelly crushes while measuring exact forces. i could go for a thawed chicken haunch and just go to town on it with a meat mallet?
That does sound like fun!

Again, I think a hammer is a very different kind of impact force due to its limited surface are the force is applied
…I mean I’d watch
I just don’t know if it would be applicable
What about a ball-peen hammer? Could be very “to the point”… might try some different options

I agree, if you have one, maybe you could try the original question or paintball/rubber bullet vs implanted x series?
Yeah yeah, but that’s boring. Blowing shit up is more fun

I can not express my disappointment, upon opening this thread, that there are zero implants in a blender.
Neat test though!

Curious about the drop testing
I know enough to know I don’t know enough
But you just have those taped on there correct?
Would the tape be “soft” enough to allow any meaningful bounce or reduction of force?
The chips were taped flush against the carrier of the drop tester - meaning they used to sustain the same Gs as the carrier. Now the tape is a bit loose, meaning they’re probably slapping against the metal even harder when the carrier comes crashing down.
They don’t seem to be bothered much though, which is hardly surprising considering how light they are.
