I can see your face!
I was in the hard drive the whole time!
My name is Robin Steffensen Yaga Alchemist botulin own accepting the
status of the fittest about he's chopped model difference in Ian see you tonight
hello everyone this is Jeff of TAOFLEDERMAUS and this is a salute to
Germany my ancestral homeland Robin created these slugs out of Steel
he drilled out the back on some and some of them they're actually offset a
little. It will be very interesting to see what effect that has on the
trajectory even though there's only weigh about 18 grams --being made out of steel
is going to make them a very tough projectile I loaded these into federal
target loads -- put a little overshot card on there put a roll crimp on there and
these things should be traveling around 1,200 feet per second all right welcome
Welcome back Taoflederhosen - right now we're going to be shooting a round sent to us
from Germany this was sent from Robin
steel cylinder that Robin has hollowed out on the bottom he hugged out a little
bit of the bottom there and then looks like he took it to a red-hot anvil and
and beveled the top so uh Robin we're going to send these downrange and see
what we can get done Jeff managed to put a little happy face
right on there just for you alright let's see what they do just to ensure
that Greg's gun was sited in and he was sighted in he did a practice shot using
double-aught buck and it looks like he's right on target
let me show you its new job hahahahaha
I heard that thing going off somewhere he went through the ballistic panel yeah
yeah now the first shot was a miss but going through that ballistic panel is
quite a feat -- It will stop a lot of handgun rounds and some shotgun slugs
now this slug was not tumbling it was more like he was flying at a 45 degree
angle which explains a lot of why it missed
how about the feature where you hit something with it go ahead and a lot
better luck on shot number two still not super accurate but look at that thing
bounced off that plate like a super ball as you can see that slug was tumbling
end over end no sparks coming off the plate I would have thought there'd be
sparks but nope-- alright let's take a look at the damage
I was aiming for that little mark - it went high and left but look for a nice little
divot out of that steel target and because we had it angled hit and zoomed
off it's probably out there on the it's like one of those jet fighters yeah it's
gonna hit one of the jet fighters we're out there on our for that unicorn farm
that's right over there landed on our Autobahn
yes the 20 pound LED plate that
weighs 20 pounds engage
aha you probably thought this was going to bounce off the lead plate too but
nope it is pretty odd that it just came to a
dead stop in the lead plate -- we've seen lead projectiles actually bounce off
this plate before---- whether or not that was front or back it
almost looks like that back of it yeah yeah yep there you go
look at this that's kind of crazy this thing just keyhole right through there
sideways look at that perfectly this they're not very stable
no but blasted but being feel they go through everything
little-known fact this is an actual Volkswagen Beetle engine (sarcasm alert Sheldon)
Blew right out the back this slug was tumbling like crazy and
it's maybe it's just my imagination it seems like the ones that are tumbling
are a little more accurate and that's kind of odd because that's usually not
how things work with ballistics the slugs that we recovered were all
undamaged---these things are very tough in fact we reshot one for the very
last shot of this video when you are listening to these scorpions at the
bibliothèque drinking your coca-cola on your HIFI radio
it blew open our coke zeros right in the interface of the stereo
and blew right out the back --blew the Scorpions right out the back of the
stereo and here's all the room TV okay the best part of it we found in here
rooster cruisin by Ray Carlisle I think restore cruisin is going to be opening
for Taylor Swift pretty soon I don't know who you sir have you heard of that
God don't play like you aren't playing rooster cruisin on the way over here now
you've got me what's that comin all these shots were taken through a
smoothbore shotgun-- NO rifling--- we see something very different on this one a
large piece of the wadding is still stuck to the back of this slug and
acting like a little stabilizer tail causing it to waggle around through the
air we filmed this at about 4000 frames a second with the Kronos high-speed
camera and David the guy that made these cameras has shipped out the first 12
pre-ordered camera so hopefully you will be seeing footage from these cameras on
other YouTube channels (like Slingshot Channel) very soon
so I'm a little bit excited about that
to see what these other YouTube creators are going to do with their high-speed cameras
fire and a splash in the water yes
yeah just still I can't believe it cracked it like that yeah just barely
skipped across the top and I can save it for later now in real time it almost
looks like he missed the shot but look at that grazing-shot Wow pretty cool and
I was kind of surprised how deep the wound was and it also created those
cracks in the watermelon strange things I tell you fire ah that one did it and
there you have it cool slugs from Germany thank you very much!
much ROBIN for sending these to us
Now, let's all sing
Robin I'm concerned I'm 15 years old and I made some steel slugs for you to test
out well I hope they're going to work so let's see
