make it so!
Hi everyone this is jeff of TAOFLEDERMAUS Several viewers have asked me to
try to shoot a slug that is a cube-shaped so we came up with this
design we call it the BORG bullet The slug is made out of lead i actually made
a mold and cast them myself
this sides measure half an inch and the slug weights 9/10th of an ounce or 24
grams one of the big problems is a square peg doesn't fit into a round hole
very efficiently as you see there's a lot of wasted space but since we are
more concerned about the diagonal measurement
that's the largest size key by can actually fit into a 12-gauge shotgun
i posted a photo of these slugs on my Facebook page last week and it gave me a
pretty good idea what people thought a cube slug would do absolutely zero
people said it would be accurate - since they didn't have hindsight like you do right now.
some people said it would become lodged in the barrel and a couple people said
the gun would actually blow up and we will be shooting is through a rifle
choke
so inside that shot cup which is acting like a sabo is the slug and the edges of
the cube are kind of acting like little rails very minimal barrel contact but
enough to create a spin
at least that's the theory at this point so in your mind how do you think these
will perform will be able to hit the broad side of a barn with them today
we're shooting the board bullet and our first target over here gordy the
flooring
so you think or you can take the rounds or not
man who knew
now people are always saying hey you need to put a laser on your gun because
we can't tell what you're a minute what he's aiming at that little white piece
of tape there and he came extremely close to hitting it now the slug is
tumbling at a very high rate of speed but for a 15 to 20 yard shot like that
that's not bad at all
that's in fact better than some of the factory slugs that we've shot
so maybe this is just a a rare fluke so let's continue on
now the reason it didn't go through the dummy is because he was wearing a
blaster proof vest
he wasn't a dummy after all Romulan ale and gage
oh cool
it was a magic mountain there this of course was another good shot nice
accurate center shot the slug went right through this 5-gallon jug of water and
then continued on I didn't see a whole lot of hydrostatic shock other than just
blowing the cap off of it though so maybe this is just another case of luck
or a fluke
because a cube slug should not be aerodynamically sound and it certainly
should not be accurate and why hasn't the gun blown up yet
wil wheaton you have a young cadet some Kardashian love fruit
Oh lovely and Romulan love fruit excuse me
also from the Kardashians ed page looks like I know
styled watermelon to me i would say good effect on target captain
now remember I did that survey last week on facebook and everyone's prediction
was either disaster or just terrible performance
so if you're honest with yourself you're probably as surprised as we were at the
results of these things
now several of us actually thought these would make a weird sound is a flooded
through the air
so far we haven't heard that make it so cool
now you've probably seen the experiment where you kick a string and tie it on a
like a wooden ruler and spinning through the air and makes a sound right
that's kind of what's going on here the slug hit the lead plate flattened out
and spun at a high rate making that sound but it really wasn't flying very
fast
in fact that was able to track it and see where it landed most mushroom a
little bit like to see roundabout seem to be somewhat accurate it's amazingly
is that a cote
did you know that in real life he's a professional boxer is really yeah i was
about to get a rocker and he really is the less
he's also an actor the last movie was in he played himself in the hangover
otay go for it
ok that's not mike tyson i was joking
so we've got to ask ourselves why are these accurate
that's because first of all it's made out of lead and it's very dense and it
carries a lot of inertia
also they are symmetrical and balance
so in many ways you can actually compare these two a LED sphere which is also
symmetrical and balance and that is why as odd as it seemed
these are accurate his head backwards I found like this
ok taking dr. McCoy
yeah you're going for the head right
I was actually was
ok start impressive in person
impressive there you have it folks
a functional cube slug I don't know if anyone's ever attempted that I bet they
have but probably won't find anything on youtube I want to show everyone how i
made these slugs i use this dirhams rock-hard party to make a name
I'm old and it held up well to the heat and me wrap and i like that i made a
total of twelve slugs and cherry pick the best ones that had the fewest flaws
and all that
i just want to show the people that have donated and support me on patreon that
i'm using their money for good things i have a very small budget
it's all about using your creativity the best you can
so you don't have to spend that much money that's my philosophy
what about people offer to send me stuff which is kind of expensive to ship
so with patreon we can combine you know everyone's dollar and I can actually buy
it on ebay or wherever
now the word on the street is that chicks really dig a guy wearing a towel
Fledermaus tactical gummy bear t-shirt and of course you can also get a mug or
a phone thingy case thing when you buy these things you're actually supporting
the channel and help us create even better content
