Oh
in this episode we look at wood and resin shotgun slugs i decided to reach
out to another youtube channel called SHOP TIME run by a guy named Peter Brown
to make some wooden shotgun slugs for me he does a lot of very interesting
projects using the most unorthodox materials possible and he listens to his
viewers for suggestions to me this was a perfect collaboration Peter went to work
and create some works of art for me
so instead of me just making up slug out of a wooden dowel or something
Peter thought this out he made out of the very hard dense wood called ironwood
any Batum the right aerodynamic shape that shaped like an air rifle pellet if
you're going to make a wooden bullet this is how you do it now I would have
been completely happy with just one slugs but he also sent some resin slugs
and that's another thing people have been asking me to shoot Peter works with
castable resins a lot so this was another wonderful idea and it kind of
surprised me that he sent these i really like the color of these things it's kind
of bright yellow green and I think it'll show up really well on camera and he
didn't stop there he created this very cool reproduction of my youtube logo
I mean all I wanted was a couple wooden slugs and he just went all out but
that's the kind of guy
peter is and you'll see that in his videos today we're going to be shooting
a Mexican ironwood slug ironically that's the name of my new kayano fresh
metal band just a slug made out of a heart hardwood Mexican ironwood luciella
how it works
so here's our impact dug took some mexican ironwood to his ballistic vest
underneath the t-shirt but as you can tell about six inches high from where
we're aiming and that's kind of typical with lightweight loads to we wanted to
find out that it survived that's oh look at that look at the shape of the slug I
mean that is like you could reload that and we probably will we will
there's no deformation whatsoever and he's got a perfectly cut piece of
t-shirt
yeah it's a red t-shirt underneath there and I can a Kevlar vest
that's amazing that's that's amazing
here's what's really funny there's a piece of the green t-shirt cut out on a
perfect circle there's a piece of the red t-shirt cut out in a perfect circle
so that thing was flying true it was flying true
it flew just a little uh little high but that's pretty pretty backed it was
flying nose forward is ninety-nine percent of a good ballistics look he
took there's the screen printing in the teacher it just punched a perfectly
clean nice amazing now pretty much all these shots were about 18 yards away
now you notice this one flew a little bit high and as I mentioned earlier
there that's very typical with a very lightweight slug these are like one fit
the weight of a of a deer slug now greg was aiming at forests on the shirt at
his head so that gives you a little bit of reference area how high it flew but
that was a very stable flying slug was a little spark and he founded so this one
chipped because it's something hard i think yeah actually a little fracture
right through there too
well it's it's in better shape than I would've expected still in really good
shape so our slug hit the clay you can see this fist-sized opening in here and
look at all the little shards of wood that it left is now
that's probably splashback when I hit the expected be could be okay we'll see
that on video probably pieces coming back not actually be shaving off and hit
the clay I'm glad we put that glass they're just too so we could actually
recovered the slug landmark right guy that is a hell of an impact
yeah it's pretty cool now greg did just as a man little bit brought is brought
the barrel down a little bit more and it's still flew a little bit high
incidentally when I posted photos of these slugs on my facebook page a lot of
people said you know maybe the wood may not be very uniform
it could be a little yeah a little heavier on one side or the other that's
one you know possibility why they didn't fly super accurate but for the most part
the windage was very clear correct but there is flew a little high
okay now you're shooting the one with the the screw in it
yeah i don't know i don't think it needs it for stability
yeah so I think that's our impact looks like it drifted a little left
it looks like a new hole i needa yeah you punched you did make it all the way
through because they're shards of something in here
oh it's hard but so something terrible you excite people thinking all the kids
are screwed
oh wow philips screw came out ok who knew you could reach in a hole into the
screw and then right here
oh one half now I did see you as I was loading this little tiny fracture marks
where the screw win so that I think that's where he glued it back together
ok i was going to say it was already either cracked or broken so the fact
that it came apart half way is probably no surprise but it i don't think it will
probably find the other piece of wood somewhere else
here we go oh look at you got would Jeff got your right thats cool I get it yeah
definitely yeah it was already cracking it was it lit survived being shot though
definitely yeah
kindly remove the damaged not a ton of penetration but i think so i think we
can glue it back together
good word we're good at they all go to the same whole different i don't know i
think everything entered here and then inside it just kind of fell apart kind
of blasted apart all that pressure caused this thing just to split right on
that crack and I can't believe the killer best ya didn't break them you
know
yeah well again this was pre split it was ok for broken so i think when it hit
just get fractured along yeah it had you know even that you know how to screw
that screw probably got shoved in and cause it to crack even more like almost
like a hollow-point now on one of this wooden slugs is Peter to put a like a
screw on the nose of it to make a little more nose-heavy it's very obvious after
the first two shots that that wasn't really needed at all now it's just my
theory but i believe that screw acted like a like a wedge kinda like on the
glob Oh steel slugs that we shot causing the screw to be driven down and causing
the slugged actually pregnant
it's kind of an unexpected result
so now we'll be shooting an all resin slug is also very very lightweight see
how accurate that is ok where you in this time same place towards Boris's
left shoes since we're flying about six inches high
okay hold low and shoe maybe we'll get a face shot
ok anytime and squirrel me like that was a face shot
okay good work there is it survived it survives Oh almost completely intact
very very very that guy knows how to those whose stuff i'm telling you a
little scuffing I we got we have that marking on there which hope you will see
it rotating and flight or whatever but again this thing could be reloaded right
now because there is no deformation whatsoever and a lot like the wooden
slow get carved a perfect little hole i was aiming low about six inches and
we've got a high flight exact same distance as originally absolute
consistency
look how well the show up on camera Peter absolutely knocked it out the park
now the tolerances that Peter put into these were absolutely perfect to cause
them to be squeezed through the rifling without breaking or anything like that
so the tolerances are just right the balance was just right in that thing
just blew like a dream
k yellow resin slug hit
Oh football that's pretty cool that was accurate
oh oh that was a good shot i was there center and you're you're aiming a little
bit lower maybe it was a man about six inches low again at the ra so yeah it
reads about 560 it when you wouldn't think of the that clay would break it it
didn't go well did you just bowled a little bit maybe back maybe a little
yeah there's the soldiers slug away in there you can see this look down in
there yeah you want to create grab it out of there
it's not big it's now that's not too bad no I did it also chipped it again it's
kind of funny but it didn't impact the collections yeah that it was just the
clay they did I would I thought the clay would be softened up shot some got
shattered from Clarion I don't know if your camera can pick this up but there's
actually some little striations down in there from where it got its a
that's spinning and can you see that and it looked like it was going straight to
hell yeah I see it as it was spiraling i'll zoom in a little more like rifling
up looking down right yeah it's in its these things are spinning clockwise
looking at the back
well once again another fantastic flying slug very stable good rotation and get
accuracy for a slug that only weighs five grams and being handmade hand cast
he that's incredible you know Peter he's really not into guns or anything he
never mess with ammo and he just did such a good job with these things get a
little high but centered so I was holding a little low right about here
bellybutton height and once again we got about 45 inches of lift
that's like three inches alright we're not going to measure out here what's
three inches to you maybe six inches to me and I must have giant hands okay then
Oh perfect pass through and it was resting right there on the shoulders of
the other two how perfect and that be so it made it through one can break
100-percent perfect condition
there's not even a mark on I don't know what kind of residue use but he used the
right stuff apparently heard stuff
yeah it's like the air hockey table Hawks yeah that stuff so it didn't even
mess with those guys are just things that you want right there on his
shoulder
it may have gone through like two inches of jell-o is all scuffed they're still
getting right there and that's that's amazing
now the Mexican ironwood slugs were pretty accurate we were getting on
target but with these residents slugs they were absolutely dead on accurate a
super-lightweight slug made out of basically plastic isn't going to
penetrate very deeply
yet these went through about two two and a half inches of ballistic gel
I was absolutely flabbergasted how well these all worked shoot a pinata
how's it going my name is anthony i'm gonna be shooting this pinata seems like
it's only right seems a little races but i don't think so we'll see how it goes
you get you've never even found you out here so it's okay you wanna shoot go
ahead
he's gonna shoot with the resin slug now this is one of those holy Madonna
moments he clipped it causing the slug to tumble laterally which caused the
slug to curve like a baseball got more confetti
yeah you hit it we need some more powerful though as we do and like I said
we literally found Tony out there fishing ask them to come over and shoot
with us and tony is going for the block size was probably going to be run on it
go for farming a big old white cloud now this was double ought buckshot against a
pinata full flower with a flare and nothing really happened
oh and this is more double-aught buckshot this time he hit the flare and
kind of put the flare out of commission a little more damage this time think I'd
say that guiding that's what I love about the wax look now this is a wack
slug which is birdshot melted together with wax and poor back in the shell and
you can see it does a lot more damage and buckshot all right dammit
simply want to thank Anthony for joining us for this video I mean I think he had
fun and hopefully we'll find out there again so it could be in some more videos
and please don't forget to check out shop time you want to see how these
things are made but you also want to see all these other cool creations that
Peter is made i hope you guys check them out and for all you guys watch this
video thanks for watching
