**Title:** Debunking a Viral Video: What Happens When You Shoot a Phone?
**Summary:**
* The Backyard Scientist investigates a viral video claiming to show a phone being shot while live-streaming on Instagram.
* Through experiments, he tests what happens when a phone's battery and screen are shot with a 22-caliber air rifle.
* Key findings:
+ Shooting the battery results in instant phone death (<1/1000th of a second).
+ Shooting the screen (with no underlying electronics) can still allow the phone to function momentarily.
+ Instagram Live's latency period (delay between recording and uploading) can make it seem like a phone dies instantly when shot, even if it didn't.
* Conclusion: The original viral video was likely staged, as a phone cannot record its own "death" due to the upload delay.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text, each with a number and in short sentences:
1. **Video source**: The video was initially found on Reddit, titled "what can go wrong if I play with the gun on Instagram live".
2. **Experiment setup**: The experimenter (Backyard Scientist) tests what happens when a phone is shot, using a 22 caliber pre-charged pneumatic air rifle.
3. **Air rifle specs**: The air rifle runs on a cylinder pumped up to 3,000 psi and has a built-in suppressor.
4. **Test 1: Shooting the battery**: The battery was removed from the phone and externally powered to test the effect of being shot.
5. **High-speed recording**: Experiments were recorded at 2,000 frames per second.
6. **Result: Shooting the battery center**: The phone turned off instantly (within 1-2 frames, <1/1000th of a second) after being shot.
7. **Result: Shooting the battery edge**: The phone still shut off almost immediately (1-2 frames).
8. **Test 2: Shooting the screen**: The screen was shot with no electronics behind the point of impact; the phone remained functional (played a sound) despite the screen breaking.
9. **Instagram Live stream test**: A phone streaming to Instagram Live was shot; the stream froze for viewers before the shot was visually seen due to latency.
10. **Instagram Live latency**: There is a significant delay (several seconds) between the live stream video capture and upload.
11. **Observation**: A phone cannot record its own "death" due to the delay between capture and upload; if a phone appears to capture its destruction, it may not have been destroyed at that exact moment.
