last week we shot these modified Japanese yen coins using the blunt body
concept several viewers asked us to try it with washers steel washers to see if
we could have similar results but will it's supersonic
normally a flat washer has pretty terrible of aerodynamics terrible
ballistics here dropped through water if you can see it the washer kind of is
flying flat but it's just shifting back and forth with the modified Japanese yen
coins we had surprisingly good aerodynamics at supersonic speeds now
we'll give it the same treatment to this washer we just have a giant hole in the
center now and it's a lot heavier the yen coins were one gram and these are
2.4 grams each and each shell will stack five of these giving us a total of
around half an ounce so the difference between these and the aluminum yen coins
is we got the giant hole but they're also much heavier and we only have five
instead of eight in all the shells we load them pretty hot with 25 grains of
tightwad powder so make your guesses will these things supersonic or will
they just be a complete disaster all right tell theater folks here we are
again Danni and Jeff do do popular suggestion was we did the yen coins and
people said Dalton the washers dump some washers or drill holes through them
yeah so this is quite a few suggestions and it's like man it's a good idea folks
and we'll give that a try ok Jeff made some all right we're gonna be shooting
these through little Tony today not through rifling I don't think steel
washers and rifling go together very well no these are bore size I wouldn't
want to do that and and the thing is it's it's a lot harder to stabilize a
projectile without spin stabilization if you can do if you can stabilize a
projectile without spin you're you're miles ahead ok we're at 12 yards add a
piece of just drywall with a dot on it so you know you worry shooting that okay
I'm ready when you are
that was dead-on almost almost dead on he hit the sticker
that's pretty good
well as you can see we had one very accurate hole the washers and the FS
twelve gas seal all flew together in one formation this was shot at 12 yards and
if you're unfamiliar with yards a yard is about 0.91 meters okay we're now at
20 yards and if you remember the the yen coins broke apart around 15 yards being
so light and all so let's see what they do it 20 yards we'll try to get a
chronograph reading I'm not sure how well that's gonna work but we'll give it
a try okay I'm ready whenever you are
1666 all right coming into frame they're all together then they start spreading
apart they're not as stable as the yin slugs I'll give you that the spread
wasn't terrible but it could be a lot better I think
this solid dome shape is just a lot more stable little different results that
time yeah my name was here this was a previous
shot okay not sure but there might have been another one in here this looks like
a double hole look at you yeah yeah the slow-mo
that we got one here here and here they broke up but they stabilized you can
tell them nice and round and one of them up here went in sideways okay but for
the most part they're getting pretty flat we found one here did hit her
pulled her up her ha ha see we're hit right there oh yeah didn't
hurt it this one skipped underneath her under
green seems to fill the shape yeah pretty tough little suckers there and
this one bounced back so it was the one that hit here and hit this angular and
in behind it okay so we definitely know it's we're beyond our effective range at
20 yards so it was good twenties too much somewhere in the middle good what
do you call that thing an assault Cozine a cup that seen with a high-capacity
high-caliber straw let's see what these things will do at 12 yards ready
don't shape lid came down like okay Rebecca 12 yards here up not as good
results as we were hoping there's one loose washer flying along and it's
flowing along pretty well but the other are kind of clustered and looks like
they're stuck to them the gas seal on that shot still hits a hit and there was
a lot of energy there okay last one see what they do a big old chunk of wood
okay I'm ready
and once again we had early separation on this shot the washers they're not
spreading apart violently but they're not real stable they're rocking back and
forth but just not as stable as those you know yen coins so we didn't make any
improvements to the blood body concept shape at all really yeah I still
wouldn't want to get hit by it but for Tammuz here
we got one win sideways here one would sideways here yeah we're not sure on
that one well checked out on the slow-mo yeah but yeah they're not as stable as
the the full domed like the yen coins and definitely came apart much sooner
this time yeah well there you go you wanted to see it so there you go it's
hot hahaha don't burn yourself rego it's the
bonus round brought to you by match thanks Matt the
bonus round amazone triple-decker not to be confused with an upper Decker folks
that's a different that's a different matter so we got looks like nine
double-aught buck in there stacked three on three they're not sure how that's
better than a normal normal way that's stacked but little separators well see
how they perform it twelve yards ladies and gentlemen I present you the triple
decker sounds good huh okay I'm ready
whoo all right traveling at ten hundred and eighty feet per second as they used
to say in the 1950s we had a pretty good group in there a thousand eighty feet
per second isn't bad for that heavy of a load and most of those big old triple
lot buck pellets hit the target not too bad not too bad
okay I'm ready I saw I saw a trace yeah yeah and I just wanted to share with you
something we're experimenting on we're not ready to film these things yet we
just wanted to take some test shots see what it would happen and a viewer in a
nearby town made these 3d printed slugs mm-hmm fill them with that sugar candy
rocket fuel whatever it's called the sugar and
potassium nitrate whatever it is so there's still some more experimentation
to do on those but it's looking promising and of course this video was
made possible through the help of our generous patreon supporters these are
just the latest ones if I listen them all you know we'd be here all day so
anyway thanks all you guys you definitely make a difference just one
dollar when you have a big group of dedicated fans like that I I it just
blows my mind that people are that generous you know just even a dollar you
know thank you very much and we'll see you next time
mm-hmm
you
