hello everyone this is jeff of TAOFLEDERMAUS = welcome back today we're gonna be
shooting five different slugs from five different places in the world at our
panel of ballistic glass like it will call it bulletproof glass and that's ok
with me a couple months ago he shot pretty much every pistol caliber we
could throw at it from 22 up to 10 millimeter and this panel ballistic
glass stopped everything it was rated for which by the way is up to 44 Magnum
then we fired a 223 edit and this glass managed to stop that too
however when we threw some three await at it it went right through it
that's because this is ul rated level three and it's not designed to stop 308
as you can see why the chart here now the ratings can be a little confusing
because you have both UL ratings and NIJ which is the national institute of
justice rating so this will stop a 44 magnum but what about a shotgun slug
that's what we're gonna find out today because we have no idea
now if you're curious this piece of glass weighs 38 pounds and if you went
out and bought it it would cost you about eighteen hundred dollars
let's take a look at the slugs will be shooting at it representing Italy we
have the dgs 12 slug dgs stands for dangerous game slug this thing's will
take down anything from a bear to bore to a bad guy
this is a hard-hitting heavy slug that has deep penetration thanks to its
special let alloys
representing USSR is the believability this slug is about 30 years old and
features discarding Sabo's and the attached plastic wanting to help
stabilize it and flight in our previous test with these slugs they proved to be
very accurate and had very good penetrating power and we really enjoyed
shoot them representing the country of Latvia is this deep duplicate model it
28 this is a solid steel slug with kind of an hourglass shape with an attached
plastic wadding on the back
these are very popular in heavy brush areas for cutting board representing the
modern country of the Russian Federation is a slug
I bet you've never seen before or heard about the Leningrad gut to this uses a
discarding sabo and is a LED free slug made out of solid steel in the near
future we'll be doing a full video just on these slugs so stay tuned for that
and last but not least representing the country of USA is the power shock rifle
foster slug you can literally go down to walmart and buy these things so it
doesn't get any more American than that
now these aren't designed for expansion so the LED used for the slug is pretty
soft
alright i'm shooting a Remington 870 by scattergun technologies are going to be
firing first the dgs 12
the Italians really another stuff as far as shotgun slugs go
this thing is very easy to load you just put your powder in put this put the slug
in crimp it and you're good to go
and this is available in the United States at ballistic products this really
wasn't a hot load it was just kind of like a mild load in fact and you can
really crank these things up to get some high velocities and get some long kills
with these things they're great for bored so i don't think the this look
definitely went through we gotta be really careful that some very sharp
shards this is a cool angle here to you can see the bend listening absolutely
wrecked this piece of glass said yeah we got some cracks going on now and whether
or not that compromises the rest of the Glasair it may but we'll just keep on
shoot
alright this is paul Eva that's that's about that's the best I could pronounce
it believe Apple about 30 year-old slug man that's that's old stuff now the shot
can almost be called a failure because the lead knows of it came off the
wadding and despite that it's still stayed on target
it probably could have done more damage if it would have stayed together though
didn't know what this happen until I reviewed the footage
ok
really surprising was the amount of energy just that glass blowing out the
back head and it cracked the lens on my little camera on top of his head there
and you can see how much his head moved just from the impact of that glass and
you can imagine all the glass fragments in your face for that so for something
that was technically a failure and flight it still managed to squeak
through the glass and did a lot of damage and my little cheapo camera got
the lens crack from piece of glass but the the glass did do a lot of damage to
the slug to as you see here on it which i think means freight train and lesbian
I don't know what hermano lip like a big old at all its seals gonna hit like a
rock
yeah but that will go through it
Oh see the splash of water back there there are a couple places the united
states where you can buy this look it's a steal slug so it's non led so if you
live in a place where you need non-lead mo this may be an option for you
and once again gotta jet of high-speed glass fragments in his face you see his
face contorting a little bit there and it actually knocked out the rest of the
plastic on the front of that camera it's the the plastic wadding stayed behind
with that steel kept on going got a facebook more of glass and in our little
micro camera here just completely knocked out the the glass out of that
but still it's still recording its camera hat look at this outside here
just open yeah that is some amazing energy it's definitely not slug rated
for finding out then in garage got tool comrade flat-faced piece of steel
yeah Sabo same pretty much load the same as the first around okay anything very
little recoil on that now we had technical difficulties on this in other
words i loaded it wrong and we didn't get full velocity it wasn't stable and
that was a failure on my part
even though we had very shallow penetration this time it's still knocked
a lot of glass out the back
I wouldn't want to be that dude standing there yeah I wasn't flying straight i
might not loaded right hand right so far the only one that hasn't made it through
it was very close so little American foster rifle deer slug available at your
local walmart exactly America or wherever America sold
yeah
oh boy
up to this point shoot the corners of the glass and we're trying to keep the
glass as intact as possible whether or not those cracks in the glass really
compromise it that much
I'm not really sure but again it's 1800 hours with the glass
we can't just put another piece of glass there on every shot
can't we don't have that kind of budget i think he would have lost that I with
that piece of glass in their dogs down i do chest compressions and risked
everything but I get glass in my mouth
yeah some of these sharks they look at that tore his safety vest wasn't very
safety the Range Officer Doug I don't it had a hit a minute in the best somewhere
to knock him off we have strapped on her that hold ya its unfiltered there that's
the old one
I don't know it hits all enough to knock them up the stand
yeah maybe this plan stop the shoulders for that strategy could be it could be
something something heavy went through here either big pieces of glass or
pieces of so we definitely answer the question will you l level 3 glass-top a
deer slug absolutely not
now 44 Magnum bullet travels about the same velocity as you've seen these slugs
fly today now a 12-gauge slug
weighs a lot more than a 44 bullet but it has a much larger profile so we
thought there was a chance this glass would be able to stop it but boy were we
wrong i hope you enjoyed this video thanks for watching
