Default Very Bizarre House Mystery

It didn't penetrate the plywood, did it?

The OP's molding penetrated shingles, insulation and
drywall. And that was at a range of 50ft!

Sure the wood in the video would have gone farther. But
not much before the effect of gravity drove it to the
ground. Maybe 10ft, maybe even 20ft, but nothing close
to 50ft, IMO.

Such a free-flying projectile is decelerating in the
horizontal plane and it's accelerating rapidly in the
vertical.


Plywood is harder to penetrate than a shingle, the flying piece was not
shaped the same, but it did travel at over 108 mph. How about you stand in
back of the saw and try to catch it?
