welcome backs folks
Welcome back Taoflederfolks, Jeff and officer Gregg back out here with you on a ridiculously windy day
I'm covered in flour from an earlier shoot. This is not cocaine. I promise you okay today
We're bringing you the Orion flare gun you've seen these before on this channel
You probably see them hanging on the wall in Walmart. They are designed for marine signaling for emergencies
I carry this thing during backpacking trips in case I ever needed to emergency signal anyone to for help
So one of the things about the Orion 12-gauge
Pistol is that it's chambered in 12 gauges does that make any sense?
I think it encourages people to put the wrong kind of shells in there and possibly do damage to themselves
Now you'll notice that the flares that come with the Orion 12-gauge are
Tapered (stepped) this little flare here is essentially acting as its own barrel
It does not actually contact the barrel of the pistol
It just fires down this plastic tube, but you can see the base of the tube looks just like a 12-gauge round so
The flare fits in there flush and fires out just perfectly
we are going to show you today how a
12-gauge round a standard old military 12-gauge round
put into the Orion is
Designed not to seat see that right there
You cannot close this and that's probably a smart thing
Because you can imagine what would happen if you fired this thing off in your hand. We're actually going to do that too
Just not with our hands
Now one thing I don't think Orion accounted for was the fact that people make these mini shells this one's from Warwolf
You've seen them here before on town fledermaus channel. This is a mini
buck round
This buckshot round will chamber in the Orion
It will close and og is not going to pull the trigger on this
We're going to tie a string to it
Send it downrange and see if we can blow the crap out of this thing see if we can blow it up so
Let's get to it. We're going to show you a couple little tricks with the flare gun first before we destroy the
Before we destroy the little gun that the host gun
For your own safety do not attempt this yourself so the standard Orion flare into the standard Orion flare gun
Okay, ready
Not the table
All right this was shot at around ten yards away
It's a really good example of why you should never use one of these against a living person
I actually saw a video on YouTube of somebody shooting their friend with this exact flare gun and that is stupid
Please don't do that
Our previous video where we shot the flare into the ballistic gel with a shotgun
people want us to shoot it out of
Just the regular flare pistol and get a chronograph reading so we got
424 feet per second out of the pistol
it was my belief that we wouldn't see much of a difference in the velocity out of a longer barrel shotgun simply because the
Diameter of the flare itself is so much smaller than the diameter of the barrel
So in reality we got more than a hundred feet per second more velocity out of the shotgun. I guess I'd rather be wrong and
Respected for being honest than being know-it-all and not get any respect
The accuracy of the shotgun really wasn't much better at this range than out of the pistol
These flares are rather light. They're not very aerodynamically sound and they do tumble around quite a bit
Flare in little Tony
And big Tony your stocks are on their way I didn't forget. I was trying to get another signature today, but it didn't happen oh
Right through it
212 Wow
Now this shall we move the target much closer, it's about 10 feet away this time
The accuracy at this range was much better, and as you can see it had no problem going right through that big block of clay
and people did want us to shoot the clay with a flare so there you go and
Finally a lot of people wanted to know what would happen if you tried to shoot a live shotgun shell out of this 12-gauge
flare gun
Now that's just my opinion that this flare gun should have never been chambered in
12-gauge to begin with
But because we now have these 12-gauge mini shells which have been around for about 20 years Aguila has been making it for that long
Now you can actually chamber a live shotgun shell into this flare pistol and today
We're gonna show you just how dangerous this really is the gun will be triggered remotely and both Greg and I will be behind
ballistic paneling
The number two buckshot coming out of this barrel is almost ineffective
Now the irony here is the person shooting the gun is putting himself under more danger than
Someone that was standing in front of the gun being shot
Now the chamber pressure on a normal shotgun is around 12,000 psi
It didn't even take that much pressure for this chamber to blow up
Now most of the shrapnel did fly upwards some of it flew downwards
But of course that doesn't mean if we shot 10 of these guns. It's gonna behave exactly in that same manner
Just as we found it blew out the top of the barrel which is kind of expected
This is why you do not want to have your hands on one of these things
We pulled it with a string about three miles long. You can see over here the double there the number two buckshot
sprinkled up against this aluminum, but did not leave even a dent they just
transferred their paint right onto the
Under the yellow aircraft this thing along with some other shards that we can't find came raining down on us
On our trucks over there to the left rear so it blew the back out of this the whole brass base of the shell
You can see here that tilt that barrel still works is it so far
To do this safely it's science folks yeah, there you go
I'll be enjoying it. Thanks for donating that Bissell Greg. Hey there you go your next patreon giveaway Jeff. Well. I don't know
Walmart, that's not a firearm. Show yeah, it's been demilled now
All right patrons, this is coming your way
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed that video. I apologize for the annoying wind noises very windy that day
Again, I emphasize do not try this at home for your own safety. This was done under very safe conditions. Thanks for watching
