The Slow Mo Guys, Dan and Gavin (also known as Kev), conduct a series of experiments using an air cannon to launch Maltesers at various objects, including a melon, a ping-pong bat, glass, and a pineapple. They capture the destruction using high-speed cameras, including the Phantom V2511, which can record at 1,600 frames per second. The Maltesers reach speeds of up to 190 feet per second, causing significant damage to the objects they hit. The experiments become increasingly elaborate, with the duo testing the limits of the Maltesers' destructive power and recording the results in slow motion. The video is sponsored by Maltesers, and the hosts appreciate the company's willingness to showcase their products in a unique and humorous way.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The hosts, Dan and Gav, are from the UK and now live in the US.

3. The hosts use a high-pressure nitrogen air cannon to launch objects at high speeds.
4. The air cannon can reach pressures of up to 150 psi.
5. The hosts use a Phantom V 2511 camera to film their experiments at high frame rates.
6. They film a melon being destroyed by a launched Malteser.
7. They experiment with launching two Maltesers at once.
8. They test the speed of a launched Malteser by filming it with a high-speed camera.
9. The fastest recorded speed of a Malteser is 1,900 feet per second.
10. The hosts test the destructive power of launched Maltesers on various objects, including a soda can, a ping pong bat, and glass panes.
11. They also test the speed of a launched Malteser by dropping it at the same time as firing the air cannon.
12. The hosts use a different camera, the Phantom Flex, to film some of their experiments.
13. The Phantom Flex camera can film at speeds of up to 1,600 fps.
