hello everyone this is Jeff of Taofledermaus after we set off a
12-gauge shotgun shell outside the chamber of a shotgun everyone thought we
did something wrong we were just showing what happens when a shell goes off
outside the chamber but a lot of people said oh we should have used a pipe or we
should have wrapped it with duct tape or used a brass shell
well we listened to you guys this video is sponsored by colorful happy fun paper
clips now available in three exciting colors these are now 72% lead-free in
all seriousness I want to thank our patreon supporters for making this video
possible in order to put a 50 BMG and a 12-gauge v ops perimeter alarm Danny had
to makes a few modifications he had to extend the firing pin but he also had to
make the special kind of a 12-gauge - 50 BMG adapters that kind of clamp around
the base of the 50 BMG I i salute his ingenuity Danny and I got way back got
behind cover and Danny pulled the string let's watch what happens all righty
well let's see what happened here it goes the brass case again blew up it
seemed to be the weakest link the bullet traveled along at a pretty low velocity
but the brass fragments were going pretty fast okay you pull that thing out
but didn't this didn't destroy this at all there's the base of the of the shell
and kind of I saw that when I actually flying at us flying towards us actually
in slow motion and there's the bullet I don't know bullet was laying right here
yeah a lot of unburned powder all over the table of course these large grains
here
okay I'm ready all right here we go now we never found the bullet on this shot
it wasn't in the gel but look at it then brass cased has banana peel back a lot
of unburned powder once again but where the bullet went we do not know but it
did not go into the gel at all the old cantaloupe test yeah Carl's cousin
should have curl all right now we're gonna see how much energy it has in a
confined area of the cantaloupe Wow to turn away kids it's getting graphic
okay don't try this at home we're what you call professionals or something
there you go oh my goodness oh my goodness good and tight German specs
fourth time's the charm there we go yay all right here we go
there goes the bullet off the left it's going pretty good but look at that melon
it just blew it into a bunch of pieces
this was our fourth attempt on this shot alone the firing pin was either fouled
with powder or was slightly bent from the other experiments I think so too
that was your hand wrapped around that your hand you know that would have blown
your hand off I think yeah look at that we'd not have felt good that blew the
premier and out of that one there sure premarin oh wow if rumor yeah yeah I
don't know where the bullet went will hopefully see that on high-speed but
yeah it through that of the pieces of melon quite no usually 40 feet all
directions yeah it was quite a muffled because it was inside there too yeah
that's what I kind of figured it would kind of contain it yeah the bullet to
actually go forward yep which apparently it did yeah didn't put Kevlar behind
that one but maybe we might be able to find it I don't I don't know definitely
wasn't gonna be holding that yeah cuz I heard a story of some guy he had a 50
Cal round he was holding like that and for whatever reason he slammed it on a
table or something and it went off and it just mangled his hand up that's a
little story from Matt beat 2099 in fact he told me that the other day it's like
he goes you got to put in some clay and I said well my clay is all dried up but
we got a cantaloupe there
there you go folks I hope you enjoyed that I hope you'll take the time to rate
the video too if you enjoyed it if you didn't I'm sorry but anyway we did
listen to your comments it was easier to find 50 BMG rounds than it was to find
brass case shotgun shells believe it or not so that's the route we took and we
want again want to thank our patreon supporters for making this video happen
but what's the name of the music
