a hollow-point in a hollow-point we've got meets hey this is jeff of
taofledermaus did you miss the gyro jet video it's pretty freakin cool today we
have another super exotic shotgun round coming from the diabolical and devious
mind of Tim Appleton of the ballistic machinists
this slug is called the 357 defender or cure British the three five seven
defender alright that sounded a little Australian now these slugs are mostly
made out of aluminum but inside is a jacketed hollow-point 357 magnum bullet
these have a muzzle velocity of around 1700 feet per second which is actually a
lot higher than a normal 357 bullet but because these are relatively lightweight
the recoil is less than what you find shooting double-aught buck for example
now these are designed for home defense and Tim even claims that when these
strike just one layer of drywall they'll actually break into many pieces though I
find that very hard to believe welcome back to a later folks Jeff and
Officer Greg back out here with you again hey this time we're bringing you a
special treat Tim Hamilton from the ballistic machinist you've seen a lot of
his work here before well he sent a very cool little round here it's kind of a
two-for-one it's called the 357 defender so you've got a shotgun slug that is
also holding a 357 hollow-point round 357 for a lot of years was known as the
number one man stopper and of course a 12-gauge slug is probably the number one
man stopper for your general home purposes so Tim has combined those two
and just going to show you a little closer on the tabletop but it's sort of
a shaped like a little pimp chalice in there a little aluminum pimp chalice
that's been segmented into eight little blades look at the precision of that
thing yeah yeah three gnarly yeah it's a lot like that Oathkeeper around you saw
a way back that was kind of a that sucked it was kind of a tango so this
this round though has a little o-ring in the back and a little o-ring around the
center here just to keep them keep them centered while they're flying downrange
very lightweight we're gonna try we've got eight or nine of these we're gonna
try them against various targets we've got some
Mellon targets for you we've got some drywall we're gonna see how effective
they are inside of a home for safety on the other side of the drywall we've got
some water jugs and we've got the often requested pork shoulder Oh stay tuned
and let's see how these work Wow
how was the recoil I'm curious about that okay all right the first shot looks
extremely promising this was shot at around 10 yards away he was aiming at
the nose hit it smack dab in the middle of the nose the slug was very stable in
flight and it dumped a lot of energy now this is what we found in the Kevlar
vests and on the table and around on the ground - found a few the little teeth
that snapped off we found the 357 bullet which is really just shredded up there
was lead fragments in there - and then of course we found the base of the slug
four layers of drywall and Jeff's legs
okay I'm ready when you are hey do that perfectly round hole in the center very
accurate very accurate yeah well the slug penetrated all four
layers of the sheetrock surprise but the big surprise was just one layer of the
drywall actually caused the slug to begin breaking apart first one made a
nice perfectly round hole what the second one
look at this started to make a Star Wars logo as those so that would be just
through one wall it would cause it to fragment look how those petals are
already breaking apart yeah in perfect unison that's crazy
yeah look number three I'd say it took out number three ha ha ha ha number four
we're left with the main projectile the 357 and some chunks and then shards
flying around so not bad I can't believe they open up after hitting just one
piece of drywall you don't normally see that there's one of the the teeth on the
number number four board or piece of drywall sheetrock whatever you want to
call it because that's so important johann von gummy I'd say she dumped
right in the belly I will give it a try the thickest part
Wow
again the 357 defender slug was very accurate very stable in flight and just
just tore the guts out of that gummy bear so far the slugs are performing
beautifully so there's our exit hole right there
pretty pretty major olia there got it right now right now goo hole right it's
a fragments there's fragments in here Wow oh you that there's one of the teeth
you're gonna regret getting that stuff on you because he can't get it off you
can't get it off teeth in here there's teeth buried in this guy oh yeah yeah
I'm feeling I'm on all sides of this oh that that is that gummy bear is so much
more dense than flesh yeah it's one thing I can confirm is that gummy bear
does not have colon cancer three little blocks of ballistic gel with a water jug
behind it
Tim's definitely got a winner here he's created a very complex slug that you
know a lot of things can go wrong with it but so far it has functioned
perfectly every time he hits anything it fragments like it's supposed to these
things are very accurate and I can't tell you how impressed we are now if you
want to see what a nice pretty clear block of gel looks like when these
things hit it check out Tim's video get it completely
fragmented blew all of his thoughts out here on the table - yeah yeah Harley
Davidson plant stand it survives another day but folks 22 yards that's pretty
much home defense distance that's yeah that's a Bruce Wayne
looking very manner distance yeah if you got a hallway in your house you probably
I think they'd be effective probably 250 yards or something and remember that
honeydew we were shooting here is half the size of a man's chest so you've got
twice that distance honeydew honey don't but if we're shooting at a head sighs
honeydew out there and so you've when you've got the 18 inches wide of a man's
chest and you could probably get him out of 50 yards if you had to so and you're
what we call a professional right I am no professional like Paul Harrow go see
the Paul Harrell Channel how does that guy keep a straight face that guy is a
magician of packing fruit with meat under a blanket next to a water jug
helping other humans leatherette jacket from Betty that he wore in high school
but very informative videos for my fellow Oregonian so oh yeah now we have
shot some very similar slugs fragmenting slugs like this made by GT research the
r.i.p slugs that only had an effective range of 10 yards yeah we more than
double it with these okay still 22 yards one more shot I'll keep an eye on the
coronagraph the patreon chronograph whenever you're
ready
look at that hat Wow tore that hat we took this shot
mostly to clean the table off it is also to prove that these things were reliable
in the first shot just wasn't a fluke well you got a nice clean hit shot to
hear that that perfectly round hole that tells you that the round was not
flopping around like we see sometimes it was entered straight now I was aiming at
the water jug down below so they're light so they tend to play high you know
hey you hit it we we didn't take any practice shots that's the amazing thing
we don't normally see that kind of damage to a water jug yeah that is
gnarly and he hit it high too you know yeah right above the little deer that I
got to mention who the Richard I want to thank Richard for setting that hat he
sent a whole bunch of stuff like samurai swords and stuff so we want to thank
Humboldt deer dairy for sending the jug of deer milk
Fila gonna believe you look at the Hat for the paintball rift if it is we're
gonna send this back to you I think I think I could sew it up it's actually
good for California's hot temperatures now it's it's more of a visor yeah but
that is crazy it just ripped this thing out hydrostatic shock folks yes sir so
don't wear that as ballistic protection against slugs when you're playing
paintball at least when you're in via Grove Illinois at level X a little
shout-out to that place but may not even be in business anymore and deer milk
drink it's sponsored by deer milk we have for you today an actual dragon's
heart just harvested so let's see how they work on that look at that pork even
has its skin on it still
Gregg surprised me by bringing this giant pork shoulder out and I think it
was a great idea I hate wasting food but when you're dealing with science and
you're trying to simulate flesh how else can you do it besides this how come we
haven't use no but it's got to be a new feature that is a gaping gaping hole and
folks they always use pork and biology and gun tests everything because it is
very similar to humans layer of epidermis layer of fat and then meat
underneath and that thing tore a big giant hole in the skin meat blasted
right through we missed the bone huh and look at the damage in the back open up
that was a meat explosion which oddly enough is the new documentary of the og
story and cooler than that back here and the vest we found the jacket of the 357
round that had separated from the core of the 357 round normally they don't
look like they think mister slammed at much higher velocities in a normal 357
ya these bonded bullets are designed to stay with the jacket out of a 357 all
right I'm going to try this out this is my own my own curiosity forty caliber
round this is the round I use at work which happens to be a federal HST 180
grain 40 caliber had a shot out of a Smith & Wesson M&P 40 shield this is my
backup gun and also quart gun so let's take a look and see what it does against
oh good well I'm not sure if you guys can see this but there is a broken bone
right here oh yeah or if you were trading at the bone that's trying to hit
the bone I think the first round hit the pork and
the bone and was caught in the vest after that the vest fell and the other
two rounds Jeff saw splashed down on the water out there but out of the vest we
found a perfectly expanded hey HST round that's exactly what they're supposed to
do after they hit a human tissue or any tissue or water or yeah watermelon so
this what we were talking about earlier this is a bonded round the lead is
supposed to stay hooked to the copper jacket so that is what we usually pull
out of bad guys but the energy man this is broke that bone right there
it's like civil war I just cut my finger oh you're gonna get like I'm at a pork
disease yeah strip to something the bone right there sharp where it broke so Wow
anyway folks we're gonna we're gonna send this out here into the weeds for
the Coyotes to finish off tonight we'll be very happy about our shooting looking
for your taste boy oh that's the meanest smuggling people or yeah yeah we have
actual coyotes around here we have both kind of coyotes around here through the
40 Smith & Wesson jacketed hollow-point is probably one of the more common
rounds that police and other law enforcement use these days but the
damage to the pork shoulder was almost anemic compared to you Tim's 357
defender slug which almost turned this pork shoulder inside out the 357
defender by far is one of the most impressive slugs we've tested to this
date Tim sent us eight of these slugs we shot seven of them and we showed you the
results on all seven shots just to be objective I hope you'll check out Tim's
video too where you shoot that beautiful block of clear gel and we can't put
links anymore in the descriptions where you could buy ammo and accessories
and all that stuff just Google ballistic machinists and you'll find where you
could buy these and I want to take a minute to thank all our patreon
supporters these are just our latest ones but there's many many more and
these are very unique people we have over 1 million subscribers and only
about 800 patron supporters and honestly without their support we would have just
given up probably you know at the beginning of this year or so and one
last thing we did reach 100% we're over 100% on our towel player mouths poster
campaign so crew that was a relief anyway the campaign ends Friday June
22nd I hope you enjoyed the video thanks for watching
you
