For your convenience, the answer is "yes", and this is the timestamp where you can see them race: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAO1i9Z9GpQ&t=162s

As always, the good stuff starts 1/3 of the way through any given video (:

I remember someone stating that "rule" at one point, but not sure if there's an official name for it.

The Wadsworth Constant.

Wadsworth Constant, I believe.

As others have said, the Wadworth Constant. You used to be able to add &wadsworth=1 to any youtube url and it would automatically skip ahead. They got rid of it at some point though.

You can press 3 on the keyboard to skip 30% of the way in, it's a reasonable approximation.

If you find yourself constantly searching for highlights, I highly recommend the SponsorBlock extension (https://sponsor.ajay.app/), which crowdsources this job effectively (as well as targeting sponsored regions, credits, etc.)

Using the extension I could hit "return" to jump to results at 5:28.

That's a pretty slow bullet (I'm assuming it's a spicy 9mm). It should be possible to load rifle cartridges that are fast enough to make the race interesting.

I'd try the Weatherby .220 Swift but I think it'd still lose to the glass. The 120mm smoothbore main gun on the M-1 Abrams tank fires a depleted-uranium penetrator rod that can get near 6000 ft/sec. That'd win.

There's a link in the video to one where they compare different projectile speeds - up to, iirc, a 50cal

i know what you mean about "good stuff", but i did really enjoy the full commentary on this one. you have to give the narrative a chance and you can choose to skip right ahead if you want to without so much of an effort.
