Oh
we have reached the final phase of our test with the link heavy hitter slugs
these are some of the coolest looking slugs we've ever tested they have sort
of a steampunk look with that copper and lead construction in this test we'll be
using a fully rifle shotgun and see all those perform out of that in our
previous tests we shot them through a cylinder bore shotgun without any rifle
or spin at all and the slug was pretty unstable and of course if it's unstable
it's not going to be as accurate and it's not gonna perform correctly we also
shot these to a rifle choke tube the slug spun a little bit it was a little
more accurate but it still wasn't really that stable
heavy-hitter test through a full rifling the recoil is gonna be kind of hard so
be prepared for that okay that looks pretty other it looked low before that
looks pretty parallel and everything damp scope why did you put a scope on it
you're doing good without it okay I'm ready when you are
dang it 1090
as we could see we have much more spin now and the slug is flying the way it's
supposed to fly very stable ears eyes action okay I'm ready
ooh oh now the painting on the powder that some shell manufacturers use some
throw out a lot more heat distortion in others we had a lot with these shells
and it kind of ruined our shot but we still have a pretty good idea of how the
slug flew through the air
there you go as most people understand every shell
every slug type has its own ballistics and we don't thicken practice shots so
you know the shooters have to figure out where these things are landing and make
minor adjustments along the way and Danny's finally figured it out hey one
and a half inches of aluminium has the British call it
they're funny people okay I'm ready
that's tough stuff there man I tell you what inch and a half aluminium a little
bit mate then when you have enough yeah that's tough yeah and see the where the
hollow point was yes sure not much of a dent this shot
was taken about 20 yards away and I know it doesn't look like it on camera but
trust me that's how far it was now if a slug is accurate at 20 yards and it's
flying stable and true we can usually assume it's gonna be accurate at 50
yards and beyond that when you have a limited number of shells to test you
want to make sure that every shot counts and you can hit the target every time
there you go
but the fully rifle shucks and we're getting good spin stabilization and as a
result we're getting pretty good accuracy now these have a rated velocity
on the box of 1,300 feet per second but our chronograph was reading somewhere
between high 900s and low 1,100 feet per second readings so this slug was not
flying supersonic when it hit the gel and that often makes a big difference
whether or not a slug will actually expand like it's supposed to
yikes now mind you a one and a half ounce lug even traveling subsonic is
gonna do a lot of damage it's a lot of a lot of mass flying through the air also
it's important understand that the shells that we got our pre-production
kind of beta test rounds so the final versions will probably be at the much
higher 1,300 feet per second velocities okay hydrostatic rocky the squirrel
whenever you're ready yikes
jerks
now the folks at war wolf ordinance you know the guys that made the double
pumpkin ball and the hot pepper shell they're doing tests with these shells
doing their own powder loads and hopefully they'll be selling them on
their website very soon and no test is complete without the military bowling
pin military-grade bowling pin I'm ready when you are
Wow well you can kind of shoot these out of a smoothbore shotgun and they worked
a little better out of a rifle choke tube these things really are primarily
made for a fully rifle shotgun so I wouldn't call them a universal slug now
hopefully you know who Edwin Sarkissian is and Jesper Ito yesterday they were
driving from Northern California to Las Vegas to meet up with guys at shot show
and I had them stop at a gas station near my hometown and I gave him this
military grade bully pit them to shoot so hopefully they'll shoot it with like
a 20 millimeter as always I want to thank our generous patreon supporters
for keeping our channel afloat advertising revenue is almost
non-existent now for pretty much every channel on YouTube and unfortunately the
future if we are to survive will rely on patreon support it's our goal to
completely eliminate advertising and stop giving money to Google they haven't
treated us fairly yet they still take a cut of our earnings now imagine a day
when there's no ads at all on our videos that'll be that'll be nice right
and imagine the satisfaction of knowing that Google isn't getting any money
now we're doing everything possible to be advertiser friendly that was always
our goal since we became a full partner on YouTube and now YouTube is doing
everything possible to you know push back and take everything away from us
now on top of that YouTube's been running ads for an ad blocker program it
and if that's not the most ironic most grievous example of being advertiser
unfriendly I don't know what is and if that's not discouraging enough the new
rules on YouTube is you have to have a thousand subscribers and something like
four thousand hours of watch time of year he even monetize a video who in the
right mind would want to start a brand new channel these days thanks YouTube
thank you for your support and thank you for watching
