Richard Ryan, a YouTube-famous explosives and firearms expert, took his toys out to the desert to see if he could uncork a bottle of Cristal. While he wound up killing the very expensive Cristal in a cringe-worthy spectacle, he still managed to uncork a $4 bottle of champagne.

After he successfully uncorked the bottle with the .50 caliber, Ryan moves onto opening confetti cans, throwing them in the air and exploding them with shotgun shells.

We can't recommend that this is the safest way to celebrate the New Year, but it's cool to watch.
