foreign
all time I love this plane this luck features a steel core housed in an aluminum highly polished
body it's a beautiful looking slug folks the weight is just a little lighter than a Remington
accutip not too heavy and not too light and just like the SR-71 this slug looks fast just sitting
in place now Precision is important and Kyle nailed it as far as the outside diameter goes
perfect now these would be considered a sub caliber projectile because they are smaller
than the bore diameter and if we were to shoot them as they are they would just rattle down the
barrel and not Engage The rifling and The Simple Solution to that is the Sabo system these happen
to be made out of an old shotgun shell we now have what I call a sledgehammer fit very tight
fit we'll now Engage The rifling but also the sabos will grip tightly onto that slippery slug
underneath the slug we'll use an fs12 gas seal a fiber Wad and set that slug right on top of that
and put our sabos around this look just like that with 35 grains of long shot we should be able to
achieve velocities of around 1600 feet per second that should get the job done let's take one last
look at these gems beautiful job Kyle I hate to shoot them but let's go out and Destroy them now
welcome back to off later folks officer Greg fresh out of rehab Jeff behind the camera back
out here with you today to test out a cool little submission sent in by Kyle Watkins in Wales not
the big giant fish but the country in the UK (yes we know whales aren't fish, this is a what's called "a joke")
put my finger on this thing and it's actually a sharp little point so he machines these rounds for us we're going to give him a try through a
rifled barrel today and uh see what they do so sit back buckle up and watch this awesome test
what's all that noise in the background is it like the river we actually have water in California now
Jeff I know temporarily before we send it to uh the ocean the Japanese test one against Kevlar
yes I'm ready
1556
I load them kind of hot
get a river going on over here
get a picture of it quick because there's no water in California yeah so Brandon's waiting for us
downrange with this blue X on his chest and look at that that thing has uh the dad gum accurate
these might these may be the best slugs if that ever came out of whales sent into us that's right
okay wait wait no no it's not in the vest right no no no we checked it earlier there is a big giant
hole right there oh okay but but turn it around look at that went through him and check this out
out the back oh my gosh that's two levels of 3A body armor that's like six AAA in uh
ballistic protection and that thing rocketed right through pretty impressive looking good
go through the lead plate now maybe what do you think through the lead plate yeah I think they're
light I think they'll burrow in deep but maybe not penetrate all the way through our best penetrators
on the lead plate have been nice heavy heavy heavy brass ones and slow and slow yeah yeah so
these are um these are kind of quick and they're lightweight so I'm I'm uh predicting a deep burrow
but not all the way through we never you never dropped the lead plate and give it a try how
about that let's let's find out but first let's review the high speed footage now if you look
closely you can see that it's trailing a yellow vapor trail he had excellent stability perfect
precision and it went through both Kevlar vests like they were made out of butter very impressive
and in case you were wondering the yellow vapor trail was achieved by simply putting
a drop of yellow food coloring in the cavity here ready yeah I'm ready
15 38.
Here Comes The Mach 71 . see a little bit of red food coloring in this one but the
slug slams into the plate and does not appear at first to have penetrated it but
look at that Kevlar something is causing that to fly back let's examine the damage
nice big round crater with the aluminum what do you call that aluminum aluminum aluminum so they
call it in whales I think actually in Wales it's all in consonants they have no vowels
over there okay you see the I put a K on the back for for Kyle for Kyle yeah I thought it was for k
so check this out Jeff was first to see this we found the vest on the ground with
the steel core stuck right in it and that actually is buried in there pretty good wow
there it is my goodness that thing is that thing was Loctite he had some super duper Loctite wow
that really yeah so they punch yourself in there so if this made it through here
science would say we're gonna see a hole in the back of this look at that
so hole big enough to be the slug I mean the core obviously it's just look at it it's almost
a perfect hole Yeah that is that's really cool you can see the bottom of the yeah you can actually
see the little sleeve in there that it was glued into yeah this over here that's crazy yeah
that's why I loaded them kind of hot because I wanted to give these things the best chance of
penetrate that plate and he did it the first slug from Wales that ever penetrated that plate looks
like the surface of the Moon yeah it's all bumpy because it's been hit by a bunch of different
slugs that that haven't gone through I think even though the Russian extreme penetrator just bounce
off that thing and uh I don't know that core might actually make it through this thing yeah
how wide is that quarter inch which is what six millimeters or something it's almost a fourth of
an inch yeah yeah so uh we're gonna bounce it here we're gonna put it in a little bit of a safety
angle yeah yeah for our own selves and uh let's yeah if it I mean that's a pretty good angle so
but that's you don't want to shoot anything perpendicular because they tend to bounce back
we try to Advocate that all the time you know if you've ever played Billiards or uh I don't
know throwing a rock against a window uh you know you don't want it to bounce straight back shut up
Daisy BB gun yeah uh even despite these angles we often have stuff kicking back on us so best
we can do is angle it over there towards towards us that there's a playground of kids right behind
you we'd rather go over there okay um yeah I'm ready all right on the orange circle here we go
Sparks yeah I mean 16 12 feet per second yeah it felt like it
[Music] well this is the highest velocity we've gotten so far over 1600 feet per second the slug
made a nice light show and everything but did not penetrate the plate now the slug didn't
Ricochet off the plate like one would expect it came almost to a dead stop very interesting
how that works and in case you were wondering we had just a drop of water in the nose of this one
happened well I was wrong and did not make it through the header of the plate
still crazy accurate these are really really accurate rounds uh hit where
we wanted it to I guess made a shower of Sparks you guys will have seen it by now
um burrowed in there nice and deep tried to make it through a little nubbing right there
but it's Plate's tough to get through here's the thing I found out front this is cool look
at that mushroom tip didn't come back it with great velocity almost came to a dead stop and
then just fell on the ground in front of it it was out here 10 feet in front of the target but
look at that mushrooming it's a warm warm mushroom tip you got right there with a little steel core
not bad oh pretty cool if I can hold on to aren't it
on the green square blue tape there yeah okay I'm ready here we go
did you get hit by something just came back and hit my foot
this aluminum plate is one inch thick or about 25 millimeters and it's tough to get through and I
think the uh slug itself took most of the damage the penetrator core is made out of mild steel now
Kyle's already talking about making a new set of slugs with either a Tungsten penetrator or
a tool steel penetrator now that paper trail is just barely visible in real time as you can see
in these frame grabs so I guess it hit near the blue tape but not on it yeah yeah it came really
close so we had it at this angle right here you can see but look at that burrowed right in there
and then Jeff felt this thing come back and kiss his foot yeah it's not hard or anything it's a
little bent this one's a little bent unlike that other one recovered that and here we go
I wanted him 1640
. The Mach 71 slug had enough power to penetrate both sides of this military-grade helmet and
here we can see just the core itself kind of spinning off towards the left of the screen
we hit a little bit left because we're California our our uh made it through check this out inside
oh this is a hardened compress the Kevlar helmet that's a legit helmet yeah no steel the same kind
we use in the military and same kind of using law enforcement and look at that exit over there
oh man I told you it made it through right there knock his little Kevlar biscuit out
exited the other side of the helmet but when I came up here what I saw from Brandon was
what the heck has actually stuck in there like that the little steel core has exited on through
made it through the helmet of course and out into the Netherlands but that aluminum core
is stuck in the side of his oh man Kyle's going to be on some kind of watch list in Wales now
look at that it's got a K on there it's got a k for Kyle yeah so we know it's got to be
okay for Kyler control that is a very lightweight little aluminum cylinder oh yeah oh yeah that's
so that the sorry Brandon the steel core it makes up a lot of mass sir okay that's pretty impressive
if only we had a tarp
okay I'm feeling pretty good about these things let's let's try a 50-yard shot 50 yards Jeff with
iron sights no less iron sights big old giant white golf ball-sized dot that covers me right
covers his entire face at this point okay here we go on the chest though when you're ready wait
wait wait we gotta make some last minute camera adjustments okay I'm ready put the film in yeah
Miss no I think it hit him he rocked you're right he did
smacked him in the vest I don't know he didn't fall over and go yeah I think that is
you might have 50 yards that's why we don't do 50 yard shots technically we hit him both times
you did you did we're high on left on both ones the strips kind of in the way there oh there you
go that's what she said we were high and left on both of those uh I hit him in the neck and out the
back of his shoulder in the first one we tried to readjust I put the dot right to here in the
center keep in mind that that big that white dot on the front of my site when I put it down there
at 50 yards the thing is the size of a paper plate on his chest yeah covers almost everything so it's
tough to get precise but the second one hit him here hit above the Kevlar so of course it went
right through him and out the back of the vest this is just fabric carrier not uh not Kepler or
something okay anyway good attempt good attempt next time we'll do four we'll stick to 40 yards
40 yards is the magic magic distance for these rounds yeah let's try a couple of uh splashy
exploding targets okay okay the five gallon Carboy that's like 1.7 liters yeah it's close to it in
Canada America's hat it's uh 22 yards or uh which is almost uh four percepts that's like was that 20
meters sure something like that yeah it's supposed to there would be no map and it's getting dark so
we gotta hurry all right when you're ready I'm gonna blow that jug okay I'm ready here we go
first
oh curse Flyers
[Music]
ballistic Yeti oh here we go oh what's in the dirt that light
now the gel shot kind of surprised me because I expected that penetrator slug
just to zip through the gel block without really moving it too much but we got a lot
more energy dump than I expected it was enough to throw the block back
and knock the table over and how that happened we'll tell you in a minute
kind of cool so check this out I don't know if you can see it down there but there's a big giant
cookie cutter of a hole here not something we normally see on most of our slugs yeah usually
it's like a tiny pinhole then move this up here for you guys look at that big old giant wound
cabin in there and that one had a little bit of red dye in the cavity and it just carried that
all the way through yeah you can see that red dye a little little pink in there but yeah and
that is a gnarly wound gentle in there popped out the end this is what we found in the vest
um the little surprisingly it it mushroomed out yeah that really surprised me it made you a little
almost like a little shot glass yeah and then of course the steel core yeah we're moving around I'm
trying to zoom in and you're moving through this there you go let's do this I'll set them there
that way that way I can break dance over here on the side that's impressive I didn't I didn't I
didn't think it would mushroom out like that but that just shows you how much pressure what are you
doing over there right dancing okay as long as you aren't wearing animal costumes Jeff I have tattoos
now I'm gonna break dance all right is that the last one that was the last for one we had nine to
shoot today yeah we gave you a bunch of various targets they were a lot of fun these things were
crazy accurate they were fun to shoot they had surprising penetration and damage yeah so uh
good job guys these might be the best slugs we ever got from Wales certainly the best Welsh
slugs we've ever had Welsh yes Welsh that's right so oh they were pip pip one of the best
slugs period that we have shot so we thank you guys for joining us this one was kind of fun to
do we're losing sunlight very fast yeah we lost it a while ago I had it kept slowing the camera
down we got a big storm coming in so we will not be shooting again tomorrow or for who knows how
long we're finally getting water in California who knows and there you have it another episode of you
make it we mock it where we give our viewers the chance to become the star of the show and show off
their fabrication skills now over the years we've shown what works and what doesn't work and I think
Kyle was paying attention because he made these things work and they flew beautifully now if you
enjoyed the video be sure to give it a thumbs up we appreciate that we don't ask for anything else
and if you didn't like it you know what they say go make your own video we'll see you next time
