Ready?
Yep
Taofledermaus is filmed on location.
Alright, welcome back Taoflederfolks. Jeff, Officer Greg and the Taoflederbruder are out here.
Today he has brought out a .458 Socom standard AR rifle like we all have.
However this AR-15 magazine which is designed to hold 30, uh, .556 rounds can actually hold .458 Socom rounds.
And they look like a big ol' tube of lipstick in there. However, they hit like a ton of bricks.
You might be able to see down here the flat nose hand loaded .458 SOCOM rounds that The Taoflederbruder has loaded up for us.
Also. We have out here some hollow points with a Nosler Ballistic Tip
and I brought for you for comparison this little old .45 caliber ACP round that officer G carries in his pistol.
This round fired out of this rifle is almost double the velocity of the .45 caliber a handgun round so...
it hits with a decent wallop, and it's a very good hunting round as you're gonna see here shortly.
We've got some pretty cool targets downrange for you today including
beats by Dr. Dre.
(laughter)
Let's get to it.
Okay, I'm ready.
Alright, here we go.
Wow.
Saw all the different colors.
Very rainbow-ish.
(Take my breath away)
Chambered is always fun. Here we go.
Watch for lead.
That hit.
You can see the smaller caliber hole here where that .458 flat nose plowed right in there.
Obviously 12-gauge, 12-gauge, but that thing just burrowed right in. However, did not make it through, it wanted to.
There's like a mini...
That lead plates tough, man.
It is a tough plate.
I thought it would go through that.
Perfect for home defense.
Yes.
But don't put in your pocket if you're going swimming though.
(laughter)
I'm going to aim for dead center on that orange thing.
Ready ?
Yep.
Who knows where it went ?
I would say you hit it.
Alright, center mass, black dot.
Here we go.
I think that was on the dot if I'm looking right.
(Take my breath away)
So we were low and right however
The result that you wanted to see is that thing bored right through this
3-inch thick stainless steel plate.
How many meters is that ?
Well, it's like 7 meters, I think.
But look at that just tore right through there nice clean hole.
That was our four...? .460 round from a pistol
There's our .458 Socom from a rifle.
And then there's of course the shotgun.
The shotgun that you saw in the last video that made a nice little porthole.
Finger rest.
(laughter)
A little glory hole for the finger.
Yeah, man tore right through that thing not even a lot of denting. Just tore right through it.
Yeah, that's a pretty clean hole.
What's the velocity of these things ?
Like 4, 5.
Oh okay.
(laughter)
I don't know. We estimated what about 1,500 to 1,800 somewhere in that neighborhood
We need a chronograph.
Ha ! Yeah.
Shoot it every time. In every video we'd shoot it.
We put our thumbs up, and we measured it against that.
Okay.
But 15 to 18 hundred feet per second. You know we're looking at twice the
velocity of the standard .45 caliber handgun round so well, so that's pretty gnarly.
Also Remote Control Sauerkraut is the name of my new Scorpions inspired thrash metal band...
so...
(laughter)
They love the Scorpions and craft work.
Okay, I am ready.
Here we go !
How did it hit the brick and nothing else ?
I don't know. Where was the brick ?
The brick was behind everything.
