I think I'm ready okay today we have a viewer-submitted shotgun slug design
made out of Delrin with a carbide pointed penetrator on it that's wicked
and these were designed and fabricated by Ryan bond yeah the guy that sent us
the gage mate chamber adapters and like many people who submit stuff to us
they're not aerodynamic or ballistic experts and they face their designs off
of what worked on other designs so we could see that Ryan's design is based
off the diabolo shape the kind of that classic pellet gun shape but it also has
a very long tapered nose and at the very tip we have the heavy carbide penetrator
which is about ten millimeters in length and that will help bring the center of
gravity much more forward but the slugs are relatively light in weight coming in
at only 10.5 grams ryan designed these so that they fit into the shot cup of a
federal wad and with that combination it's the perfect diameter to shoot
through a rifled barrel so that's where we're gonna shoot these through so let's
see how Ryan's design does out on the test range special ballistic tip for
aerodynamics eight of us very hard metal see how this one works
using Danny's rifled shotgun
I was wimpy well it's gonna be only weights 10 grams so you're even here
they hit him in here and they're hit here but there is the metal tip stuck in
there quarter-inch yeah little bulge on the back okay you know this could have
been a lot harder yeah yeah I'm sure room for improvement ha ha ha I think we
made the right choice shooting these through a rifle barrel to give it that
gyroscopic stability without that I'm sure these would have flown sideways but
we still had a little bit of a wobble with the slug and little things like
that account for in accuracy even at only 10 yards this was gonna be out of a
federal shale and Jeff just pulled the birdshot out and stuck this slug in
there so yeah that's it see what see how that performs I sit up for 108 down so
it ought to push it a little harder this time maybe a little bit yeah okay there
we go
well the stickers gone that's a good sign
where'd that one hit yeah the sticker was right about here this one hit a
little bit low right that's a fresh hole there man that thing went all the way
through nice okay full penetration ladies and gentlemen yeah just the tip
just the tip though well it looked like a success it was actually a failure the
carbide core got knocked loose from the rest of the slug something we call the
Newton's Cradle effect and it was just sheer luck that the carbide core as it
was tumbling happened to hit straight on and penetrated the plate anyway and if
that core had hit sideways it probably would just shattered and just left a
dent in the plate okay now an AR 500 plate this one I
believe has 25 grains of tightwad powder in it aiming at that little orange
sticker I am ready when you are that one had a
very good thump to it okay they're not very accurate but they are relatively
stable in flight it looks like that's an AR 500 plate this time normally a bullet
will just splatter against it and not even hardly Dan it so where did it hit
well my point aim is the other two shots were hitting
a little bit low right so I went a little bit high left right about here
and that one here clear down here okay and not sure if that tip is in there or
not it kind of looks like it
it's hard to chill yeah right there's the slightest little bulge right there
okay that's pretty good for a 12-gauge not bad for a 12-gauge well this one
held together it had relatively good stability this didn't have enough oomph
behind it to drive it through that ar500 plate people get upset if we didn't you
shoot the lead plate get loaded okay let's see if the these things will go
through the lead plate I I doubt it but you never know man
okay are you about ready okay hit it
here's the piece that came flying back
okay that was upside down right I'm not sure which way you hit that was the
bottom yeah it was six o'clock right so it's a pretty good sized dent for a
plastic slug header right in here exactly like that yeah okay well I can't
tell you that one went all the way through it went all the way through the
lead plate just the tip maybe and then here is that up there it is oh there it
is right there okay into the mild steel after going through an inch 1/2 of lead
not the most accurate slug but he hit it at about 10 yards didn't hit the table
luckily get the hit our fixture there just barely cleared that first angle
iron right there yeah dad it must been something else in yeah it's kind of an
old one this is fresh yeah yeah he's not bad not bad
pieces of lid that was something else did not expect that now this gives you
an idea why it shot solo having that real heavy tungsten weight way out there
in the front made this slug want to just drive itself into the ground that's us
that's not normal bullet drop there folks and it's very possible it had we
shot the AR 500 play with this it would have penetrated that but overall this
one performed very well just wasn't very accurate okay this one does not have a
penetrator tip it has I think three bb's in there still loaded rather hot 24
grains of tightwad I believe see if that one does it I think the tip might have
fallen out or something I don't know where he just sent what you didn't have
another tip for a fifth one okay last shot BB slug hopefully they don't bounce
back at us haha okay I'm ready that one wasn't very loud that one shot high this
one was at the bottom when I aimed at the scenery hit low look at this he
walked up on it and that BB was laying in there huh that one didn't have as
much of a boom as the others you know it's had a little weak but you hit it
though you know that's 99% of the effort there Skookum enough yeah now this one
actually flew rather flat it didn't nosedive like the previous shot he was
expecting it to shoot low so he aimed towards the top of the plate so this was
the most accurate slug but it had the least amount of damage it's time for the
bonus shot this exotic slug was sent to us by Matt thank you Matt oh this round
time almost forgot ammo zone pitbull so we got a lineman pellet
shaped slug it looks like six buckshots in there
through a smoothbore with a modified choke you will be shooting at a propane
cylinder don't try this at home kids okay I am NOT ready okay I'm ready now
oh yeah that was cool I think fun like a ground bloom flower
alright let's see how the pit bull performed as you can see the Lyman slug
is kind of yawn all over the place it's I think it's been damaged by all the
other the Buckshot slamming into the base of it kind of screwing up its
aerodynamic it's it's trying as to write itself but it ultimately completely
misses our propane cylinder it's kind of proof that too much of a good thing
isn't always better we have a few more of these exotic
commercially loaded shotgun rounds that Matt's in us and we'll keep featuring
them as bonus rounds the pitbull pitbull lien it's still a piece of buckshot
stuck in there a little bit high from where I was aiming but it's a lighter
load than a slug yeah one pass through and three good-sized dimples there there
was some stuck in there but they fell out when I was walking back okay I
believe you yeah we couldn't put up flame next stack
because man we'd end up burning this whole area out and California burning as
it is we don't need to add to it yeah yeah yeah that was kind of nice yeah
meat sound yeah there it is yeah
the pitbull ladies and gentlemen goes for the throat yeah I'd like to
take this minute to thank our latest patreon supporters there's many more if
we listed them all this thing it would last about five minutes anyway without
these folks we couldn't have survived this long we would have had to put all
our camera equipment everything on eBay and sold it off probably a year ago and
given up we used to be able to just run this channel just off of ad revenue just
those annoying ads but because people started using ad blockers a much more
and because of ad pocalypse and all that stuff it's just impossible to run a
YouTube channel just off of ad revenue anyway thank you everyone
