today we have a slug from France called the gesture charlie
I know I got that wrong but this was made by Mike it was handmade just with
the basic tools and this little clip that he made kind of shows you how he
did it the slug uses a metal casing looks like it's EMT and it's filled with
lead in any slit the edges so that the slug will actually fragment when it hits
something at least that's the idea and we'll see how that functions in this
video
all right viewers today we got some slugs sent to us from Mike from France
and he calls in the issue charlet I don't know what that means I don't
either I don't speak it but American Psycho
anyway it's a slug interesting looking so we're going to see what it does
downrange see how it penetrates out giant block of wood okay there la with
the rifle choke never you're ready explodes I'm ready when you are about
ten yards away right ten okay here we go it looked very close here we go first
shot no practice shots of course like it might have been tumbling a little bit I
believe it was stumbling a lot ah let's see here oh it's in there yep not real
deep about inch and a half into the nose maybe probably Hannah okay guys
wondering that's SOG I don't know what that what have that sons of anarchy or
someone's known special operations group okay last two I set the Chronos
high-speed camera to eighty eight hundred frames per second so we can
really see the detail of how the slug is flying through the air now what happened
was the plastic wadding got shoved into the cavity of the slug and created kind
of a stabilizer tail while this was an intentional it's still
pretty interesting to see how it really affected the flight actually causing it
to rotate counterclockwise Swedish ballista kill okay I'm ready Hey okay it
had no problem going through our Swedish ballistic gel oh boy
and I have progressively got larger nice so I wonder uh if it's coming apart or
not you know like he designed where the the pieces break apart now this is not
as bad as it initially appears we feel a lot of junk flying through the air but
we see the two metal pieces that were shrouded around the slug and they kind
of turned into discarding Sabo's and that slug just kept on going and it flew
rather straight at surprisingly the accuracy wasn't terrible it was only off
by only three-quarters of an inch and the slug had enough energy just to keep
on going alright people love us we do have some good people over there oh yeah
so this is for all you good it yep dang kid that mess went a mile again we see a
lot of mangled up plastic wadding which only I can be blamed for this the way I
loaded it the slug was flying sideways packed a lot of energy and behind the
jug we had that Kevlar vests and it threw it a good 10 yards so that was
pretty neat
hello it work against the terrorists that's what we all want to know how Mike
loaded this one backwards yeah this one's loaded backwards so it's got a
hollow cavity in the front it's a hollow-point one yes is it how hard it
is okay I'm ready
I think it went through them I first thought that this lug had actually gone
through the Kevlar vest because I saw a big cloud of dirt kicked up behind the
dummy what happened was the steel sleeve split on one side and that is what
actually hit the dirt behind the dummy when fired this slug was put under about
11,000 psi of barrel pressure and about 10,000 G's of acceleration force and we
call that the internal ballistics what's going on inside the gun itself and a lot
of people don't really consider that they just think of the external
ballistics or even the terminal ballistics pretty yeah that was pretty
accurate maybe we had a backwards the whole time yeah gosh I didn't know
didn't he ask first or nose first who hit kind of sideways but it was still
much more accurate than the others yeah missing all the metal the steel casing
on it Wow now we did try to shoot it some ballistic gel we took three shots
and all three of them were misses so I'll spare you most of that footage I
figured after three shots it's time to give up especially when one of the
ballistic gel blocks flew into the little pond that we were shoot next to
the only good thing is we recovered one of the slugs that was trapped in the
Kevlar vest and you can see how it broke apart but I wanted to save one slug for
a special target that Mike personally requested okay he wanted clay and will
give him clay okay I'm ready oh my goodness
it's like The Terminator oh that was awesome really happy that little piece
came back and hit me in the leg
that could have been your head I'm glad I did I don't know what I would have
done if we would have missed that shot but fortunately it hit and it hit dead
center on that clay block that was awesome again we see the at least a
small piece of the plastic wadding stuck in there kind of act like a stabilizer
the slugs kind of doing the the shimmy as it's flying in the log but it was
accurate and it flew great it's been ridiculously hot here like 108 degrees
and I'm slowly catching up on the viewer created slugs that people have already
sent me unfortunately I've had to tell some people hey can you hold off a
little bit until I catch up and I appreciate your patience I hope you guys
enjoyed this video thanks for watching
okay I'm ready oh no in the water
