First Time seen in U.S. MakSnipe Mk2 Slugs

First Time seen in U.S. MakSnipe Mk2 Slugs - Game Changers!

We had the opportunity to test out MakSnipe's Mk2 slugs. These are environmentally-friendly (no lead and photo-degradable plastic). We had a few hiccups trying with these at first since MakSnipe's engineers were unfamiliar with U.S. powders. I would say these are best used in a smooth-bore as rifling didn't seem to add any benefits. We were doing short-range testing, though some were beyond 20 yards.

Yea. Pretty much anything that fits the barrel can be fired from a shotgun. I’ve even seen spear launcher mods.

Great video as always. Calling it a "ballistic booger" is hilarious. My favorite part about that shot was the "ballista booger" looked like a swimming jelly fish when the slug passed through. Keep up the good work. 👍

It's 'cause you've never played it my man. In reality, golf is hard. First you have to learn to swing. Then you have to learn to hit the ball. Then you have to learn to hit the ball where you want. (That last one is the doozy). First time you par a hole though, its a good feeling. First time you sink a hole? Probably not as chances are, first time you sink a hole, you're already 7 over par for the hole so its bitter sweet. You're happy to just finally sink the ball and move on with your tail between your legs as the guys behind are waiting for their turn. That first hole on or under par though? You feel like one of the greats. Easy to pick up; very VERY hard to master.

They say one time use for kevlar vests because the manufacturers cannot guarantee their product’s tested performance after the first impact. The same is for fall arrest systems and harnesses. Though the products may perform fine after initial use, they are no longer under the context of manufacturers standards. Government regulations also enforce these standards.

@ianmacfarlane1241 6 жыл бұрын

Sebastian m It's kinda understandable why, as the manufacturer can't make any guarantees if the don't know the circumstances of the impact, so they make a blanket statement. The same thing goes for all kinds of personal protection - motorcycle & bicycle helmets are the same, car seats for infants - anything where they cannot guarantee the integrity of the equipment.

VERY cool looking slug! It's amazing how much technology is effecting these slug designs. Just gotta be careful! It's been confirmed that a super tactical Navy Seal from the early 1700's had a confirmed head shot kill with a smooth bore shotgun (obviously with a bump stock), no scope, loaded with a titanium foster slug loaded with 125 grains of long shot. Chronograph confirmed it left the barrel at 750,000 fps... So those vehicles in the background at 3 miles away are NOT safe; especially with Deadeye Danny behind the barrel lol.

@howardmaryon-davis666 5 жыл бұрын

In europe, our gun restrictions have meant that a lot of research has gone into shotgun design and projectiles, which is why there is such a variety of slugs available. The powder loadings are based on European made powders, which were mainly derived from military grade formulas. These tend to be more like rifle powder burn rates, especially for former Soviet bloc countries and so are quite harsh and snappy with high felt recoil. Your own loads with American shotgun powder will be nicer to shoot and probably more accurate.

@dmaxm2498 6 жыл бұрын

It would behoove you to make a compilation video of every slug that was strong enough to penetrate the lead plate or an armor plate! It’s a perfect idea for an easy video to make during one of your off days. It would get so many views right off the bat!
