you seriously need to shave him he started look like the freaking wolfman
I've never seen one like we're gonna have like one shades leg and why not
it's all explained that a girl the older kids today we got the two about about my
well it's what today we have some steel shock which is twenty thousands of an
inch in diameter is very small and I want to thank Randy percent this to me
I'm this melting this using a quartz desk lamp and it works great for small
batches like this now this stuff is about the same diameter as the tungsten
ball in a ballpoint pen very small but because it's so small there's very
little space between each little small piece of shot now the spaces between the
balls are going to be filled with wax wax is not very heavy especially
compared to either letters steel so using the smaller shot is much more
efficient as far as filling the space you have much more surface area so you
have a stronger bond the wax is just binding everything together it doesn't
add anything to the slug itself so if you can reduce how much wax is between
the spaces you'll actually have a heavier slug and here's just a quick
comparison between this little tiny steel shot and some other LED and steel
shot here i'm using the mountain storm shell prepping to all this for cuts that
crimp out really fast and safely and i have a link in the description if you
want to find out more details about how to find one of those
it's probably a few people still on the bigger is better bandwagon and probably
are calling me a liar at this point I just want to prove to you that using
smaller shot will actually create a heavier slug and hopefully this will
illustrate to everyone that using a smaller like birdshot will actually make
a denser more effective slug than using buckshot
okay we'll put a empty shell on the scale and tear it and now we can weigh
the actual weight of the load in each shell first we'll put the micro steel
shot on there and that weighs 26 grams and now we'll put the number two shot
wax log on there that only weighs 24 grams that's a to Graham difference and
i'll show it again in case you don't believe your lying eyes there's a to
grab difference between the small and large shot now let's compare it to a
normal wax look with lead shot and you can see there's a massive difference in
weight
hey guys my name is mike and today we're going to be shooting some micro steel
wax slugs let's have some fun
okay Mike is buddies with Nick and he's come out with us to shoot before but we
finally talked him into being in a video and shooting and he did great now we've
never shot a wax slug at Doug wearing the Kevlar best before so this was kind
of interesting didn't go through or anything it stopped it fine but really
transferred a lot of energy into the dummy still through the best that so
kill shot
Oh see how it's all bunched up what's up padding underneath that's the
bulletproof girl and I guess your daddy's pillow i totally forgot you have
that on and see the most most guys you figure all that out when best but they
are just think they're really buff
I wasn't ready it's okay i don't know almost the cameras i got it on for camp
four out of five years now the thing about the wax slugs whether they're made
out of steel or LED they break apart when they impact things they almost
explode they do a tremendous amount of energy transfer at the moment they
strike something and that's what really sets this apart from a normal solid
metal slug and you'll see even better examples of the slug breaking apart in
other shots
ok
not bad for Buster busted
oh man yeah it looks like it went right in there
great in this rip that one and a half though you'll notice in many of these
shots the slug is tumbling this one does
maybe like a 180 before it strikes and that's pretty normal with the wax lug
there's nothing really to guide it and despite that tumbling they're still
relatively accurate doesn't seem to matter that much that they're tumbling
look at that you almost hit Center some weird little dents on it from all that
let the steel shot blew out the back part scishow perfect
come on
regular leg wax lug anytime you're ready
I wanted to show some kind of comparison between the steel shot in the leg shot
and this one much heavier it possibly could be a little more accurate because
this has more mass it's the same exact size same dimensions and all that and it
performs about the same way disintegrating upon impact of the
punisher school
Marcus two purposes out that's I mean it shredded that thing the front is steel
very impressive
oh and no light metal there
I mean that's the rink or you
yeah but you're die giant Johnny burn their submarine okay hit it
Oh while I was solid and we have never shot a ballistic gel gummy bear with the
wax look before and it was pretty cool i was impressed even going through just a
couple inches of ballistic gel it was enough to break that slug apart but look
at the energy transfer it dumped that energy into that thing like crazy
imagine that was like a squirrel or something so if you were to use some
kind of a binder like epoxy or silicone or something instead of wax you're not
gonna get that kind of energy transfer and you get to the point where that the
cost of making this slug is going to be so high you might as well just go buy
some regular deer slugs
so the wax is just strong enough to hold it together but if it hits anything it
breaks apart as you can see brother what came out the other side
Oh system is there any hood it's three-thirty literally hey gonna break
it
now this test we use three terracotta plates i think we spaced about five or
six inches apart we wanted to see if the slug would break apart when it hit the
first one but have enough energy to damage the other ones and it definitely
did those are actually pretty cool targets we never shot Terra Cotta
anything before they do leave kind of a big mess so you know where we we have to
clean everything up after we're done because we want to be those guys that
get a place shut down because you know people are leaving a mess
yeah
wow this is a really weird shot because the wax love never released from the
shot cup you can see the pedals fluttering around right before it
strikes i think i may have gotten it too hot and the steel actually can diffuse
to the plastic is hot enough to melt and fuse to it so having those pedals
flapping in the wind probably changed the dynamics causing the shoot a little
bit low
I'm not gonna blame the shooter on that one but notice how even though it hit
that little thin piece of plastic leg it was enough to cause the slug to still
break apart it all steep his body go forward and Lieutenant Dan this is the
large number two steel shot whenever you're ready
whoa whoa whoa now this number two shot really illustrates my point about the
surface area and having us of you know more surface area with a smaller shot
actually creates a stronger slug now this slug in flight was actually
starting to break apart before even hit the the printer there
now it's entirely possible that because that number two steel shot was so
polished and smooth it just didn't have a good surface for the wax to bind to
but there's no doubt that this slug is 10 grams lighter than the equivalent led
whack slug and that makes a huge difference in the terminal ballistics i
hope you enjoyed this video thanks for watching thank something out the back a
little bit not much travel down here
yeah okay with angled nobody to mess up the table
nope
