+no_good_namez Sounds like something Chuck Norris would do! LOL

+Warlord2029 for which end? lol

+warlock hahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha

so do I. 9mm works great for me when I don't have any handy

you can pretty good use shotgun shells as beer opener.

Shark22391 Yes, complete with rifling.

+Shark22391 i like the way you think lmfao

hahahaha nice one

Mine is a 9mm

Obi-Wan Noscopi my ears are pretty big...thinking 50ae

I would like to see that .-.

+Milosz Ostrow YYaahhh! lol

S'more guns!

The mini marshmallows work as .60 caliber blowgun ammo and with a slight modification can rupture soda cans

Curare Blowgun Channel lol

Yes, but only once.

And you'll never need to again lol

You just made my day lol

I can't tell if your joking or stupid

230gr ear plugs fit better.

Violet_Shift I agree 100%.

Violet_Shift most definitely right airsoft is airsoft not real guns with ammunition that have earplugs

Violet_Shift - I also agree. This may be an appropriate use for training (against inanimate targets), but it's not appropriate for paintball/Nerfwar/Airsoft games. Always use the right tool for the job!

​@neo nero I'm not advocating for the use of real guns with earplug bullets in airsoft, but the circumstances of Brandon Lee's death were different. "Actor Michael Massee's character fires a .44 Magnum revolver at Lee as he walks into the room.[16] A previous scene using the same gun had called for inert dummy cartridges fitted with bullets (but no powder or primer) to be loaded in the revolver for a close-up scene; for film scenes that utilize a revolver (where the bullets are visible from the front) and do not require the gun to actually be fired, dummy cartridges provide the realistic appearance of actual rounds. Instead of purchasing commercial dummy cartridges, the film's prop crew created their own by pulling the bullets from live rounds, dumping the powder charge then reinserting the bullets. However, they unknowingly or unintentionally left the live primer in place at the rear of the cartridge. At some point during filming, the revolver was apparently discharged with one of these improperly-deactivated cartridges in the chamber, setting off the primer with enough force to drive the bullet partway into the barrel, where it became stuck (a condition known as a squib load). The prop crew either failed to notice this or failed to recognize the significance of this issue. In the fatal scene, which called for the revolver to be fired at Lee from a distance of 3.6-4.5 meters (12-15 feet), the dummy cartridges were exchanged with blank rounds, which feature a live powder charge and primer, but no bullet, thus allowing the gun to be fired without the risk of an actual projectile. But since the bullet from the dummy round was already trapped in the barrel, this caused the .44 Magnum bullet to be fired out of the barrel with virtually the same force as if the gun had been loaded with a live round, and it struck Lee in the abdomen, mortally wounding him"

Same reason all these firearms being painted and decorated too look like not a firearm sholud stop.

+Blaze Kush ROFL!!!

exactly wat I was thinkin

+Nicholas Wingler or spiders

And yelling yehaa:))

+F -André I have a salt gun that is made of a pellet gun

+Alex42 Gaming and I use it to shoot flies

+Nicholas Wingler The fire-alarm would fuck my brain

ComandanteJ I was actually thinking about how any worth-while Air-soft gun would penetrate that card-board at range. Even still, I doubt you'd find a course that would let you..

Siris The Dragon You only have to be per$uasive enough! LOL. But yeah, i can imagine why they wont let you, those friggin PVC balls are an absolute pain, when i was into airsoft, my house's floors were full of them, ready to fuck your toe... almost as dangerous as Lego hehe.

Siris The Dragon Through and through I'd imagine with my experience. My airsoft guns blow holes through cardboard and polystyrene at about 6 metres, and have pretty decent accuracy. Still, this ear plug thing is a really cool way to practice fast draw cowboy shooting.

If you really are wanting to get a good airsoft gun you have to be ready to spend some cash. If you want a halfway decent airsoft gun you might have to spend $100-150 for a gun that can shoot accurately at 20-50 yards.

More like nerf gun battle, lol.

ARMORER'S APPRENTICE That's great!

Believe it or not, people actually use these to protect their ears while shooting rifles and pistols. She was probably assuming you were going to use them for ear protection, how silly of her.

KEYWORD: "IN" a rifle or pistol.

😅

that be safe? Why not Nerf at your own Risk

nerf sucks

😂

lmao

***** That's pretty cool!

Sweet

i always heard storied of people putting condoms over the barrels of M1 Garands and M14s. I also remember reading in a magazine about hunters who put plastic wrap and rubber bands over the muzzle when carrying black powder rifles.

Great idea!

they'd been using condoms over the muzzle pretty much since latex condoms came out. the only problem is, then you don't have a condom! wars end, but herpes lasts a lifetime.

I would like but I can’t 69 likes

Polecat Fan now you can

Shucks ok

*howdy ya lil fuckers*

lol

mihajlo525 gotta twist and push

Andrew Lucero Jr. Yup twist and push into shell, insert in gun, point in ear and fire.

+mihajlo525 I think after firing the earplugs into your ear, you wont need earplugs anymore because youl be deaf. lol

NorthernSnowball Or possibly dead XD.

LoL in Wisconsin we cant use sissy ear plugs to practice our quick draw. It's was negative 20 with the wind chill yesterday so fairly confident frozen ear plugs will be deadlier than any deference round made by Remington in the past 20 years.

+Jager Overson Texas sucks, should be nuked off the map by the rest of the country.

+TruAnRksT and why is that?

Josh Hutchins

"Work" lol

this is why I take the time to read comments.

Smokeless powder needs pressure to burn properly. I doubt the earplugs would seal the bore effectively enough to build sufficient pressure.

Try black powder. Itll.go faster.

Powder only has a certain max amount of power before it just becomes added kick and burn off. That is why when using my musket, I load only 60grains, if I did 100 I'd just hurt my shoulder and waste powder.

@@EvilStepDad_ me too. I load a .490 round ball with a .10 patch over 52.4 grains and it shoots just fine. 80 grains will add more power but 100 is just wasteful.

ChicagoJohn :)

Really? It worked pretty well for the pirates...

I have half a box of those lying around here somewhere. I wonder if one could cost-effectively 3D print their own, nowadays?

just a good coat of super glue on the butt end should keep the fire off of it, used to use glue for the fireproof hand trick all the time when I was a kid.

***** Fast draw shooters typically shoot using 209 primers, which are a lot more powerful than the magnum pistol primers used in this video. I got a set of cases that use the 209 primers, but I haven't had a chance to try them out yet with the ear plugs.

Sometimes more is not better. Actually most of the time that is true!

Dude,I love your vids + Twangnbang's

***** fancy seeing you here bardy

Love ur vids

Carlos Smith Thanks for sticking around!

IIDASHII :)

Alec Baldwin should watch these videos

Yeah, buddy! 😁🐒

Jerry Smith 😂

Hello

Jerry Smith 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

look up simunition. it's similar to this but more like shooting paintballs out of a gun

+Chris Rodriguez yeah but nearly impossible to get ahold of most vendors only sale to millitary And law enforcement plus u have to buy and swap ur barrel for a smooth bore and wear all protection equipment it will take eyes out and draw blood on soft tissue as well as collapse ur trechia so paint ball throat protection needed too but yeah super fun

Mac Kwi I actually laughed the first few shots because of how well it worked. I would've thought they'd fly in random directions right out of the barrel.

TWANGnBANG I think the colt barrel stabilize foam "bullets" threw rifling. Density of foam may by high enough to gyro- spin it fast.(Captain Obvious ) Smooth bore may not be accurate after 1ft Maybe some field test? That would be nice demo why invention of rifling was so important.. And just for fun- ear plugs VS butter, meat or something.

Mac Kwi "Earplug Bullets vs. Warm Butter!" Next, on TWANGnBANG... :)

Is maybe possible to put same ear plugs to smaller caliber case? .40 should be ok but 9mm ? Tight fit= higher velocity=longer distance accuracy? I think You sir need high speed camera for future video. Greetings

***** This was a one-off video. :) It's actually well-known that primer-propelled wax bullets don't budge the slide on an autoloader, and it won't be any different for these.

Ian over at forgotten weapons did a vid on those a while back kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gb2cdKyU3N7cdGQ.html if anyone's interested

tcat 117 That's awesome!

Survival On Purpose Gotta give credit to an idiotic reporter for the idea. :)

TWANGnBANG the dumbest ideas are always the best!

GunFun ZS No big deal. There are actually at least three other videos out there about this now, and each is different from the other. I'm the only one to get this to work consistently, though. :)

I only saw one of them, but yours has much more polished production value and gives it practical application. JM is a superb competitor, but only OK as a TV presenter.

GunFun ZS Thanks so much!

I enjoy your production value, humble tone and obvious enthusiasm for the stuff. It comes across as genuine. I doubt i am representative of the audience, but I can say the videos of yours most interesting to me are going to be the oddball things. Funky archery, strange calibers, practical comparisons of silenceers, uncommon ammo types. While your videos on other topics are good, It might not be worth your effort to be one of the dozen reviews of the next gen Pmag or whatever on the same week. I recall from a previous chat you said that the ballistic testing wasn't paying off. Maybe so, but I really liked the 300 BO cast lead and other less common bullet comparisons. No one else had that covered. On the other hand if you were testing hornady critical duty 9mm, there are dozens who are set up to be more scientific. I'd watch your video and find it to look nicer than brass fetcher, TNOD9, shootingthebull410 etc, but I'd watch theirs first and more closely. Also, I greatly appreciate publication of negative results. i.e. your vid on the the bowmag. I would pay much more attention to a magpull fanboy saying that one of their stocks is over-priced, or has some other flaw than I would to the next gushing torrent of enthusiasm from Sootch00. Perhaps a series on negative suppressor experiences? That would be valuable to me. I would like to buy in the next year or two, and I can't afford to get a crummy one. I can't recall ever seeing a single negative review video on youtube, but there are plenty of forum posts from people with problems... So there's a void there to fill. Feel free to take my input with a pound or two of salt.

GunFun ZS I appreciate you taking the time to post this. I know you put a lot of thought into it. You point out a few things that I can address: 1. I have fun with the oddball stuff, but I really like doing the T&E. If you watch my reviews of the same products others are doing, hopefully you see that I take things deeper. That's absolutely the feedback I get from the manufacturers themselves. In fact, I've had at least 4 of them tell me that I taught them something about how their own product works that they didn't know even though they designed it. :) That's as good as it gets for me. 2. I pre-screen everything before taking it in for T&E, and I'm not trying to be Consumer Reports. I hate putting my time into a video on something I can't recommend, and it's simply a statistical fact that "meh" reviews just don't get very many views. Bad reviews of interesting products are different, though, and something I have done and will still do, but in the end, I can only do one video per week. I'd rather spend my time working with something I can get excited about than something I don't really care for. On another note, anything NFA is never going to be high volume because the process is sooooo long. I'm honestly just not going to go through it all, including paying the $200 tax, for a product I'm not 100% certain I'll love in the end. So, you'll never see a negative silencer review here unless I made a horrible mistake. I hope this makes sense.

24videowatcher Thanks so much!

TWANGnBANG same here! not sure how I haven't seen your channel before. BUT I'm glad that I did stumble upon it!

Mrgunsngear Channel It is quite ironic that, though these would not replace riot control rounds, foam earplugs worked a whole lot better than I expected. :)

TWANGnBANG im curious if you could load a few grains of powder in for a cheep warning shot round or something...

The real question is if I can use rubber bullets as earplugs.

***** lol, best of luck with that, let me know how it turns out.

Mike L Probably, but I doubt it would be worth the trouble.

Steve Mario I wouldn't put exposed lead in my ears but if it's jacketed and it's snug enough in your ear, yes real ammunition could work as ear plugs.

Just a Bat. When I was a kid I kept lead pellets in my mouths while hunting. Putting them in your ears won't do anytbing

I said I wouldn't, you can do whatever you want that's questionable to your health as it doesn't affect me. I've seen lead poisoning first hand and it's not something you would ever wish upon someone else, even an enemy. Granted such small exposure such as in the ear or pellets in the mount most likely wouldn't ever do anything, still I wouldn't recommend it if you have other options.Foster Rich

My grandpa's old house had Lead pipes his water went through and were all perfectly fine. No health issues.

Been at the range without ears before and just put 2 spent .45s in my ears. Worked fine in a pinch but unless that's all you had I wouldn't recommend it

NecroBanana if their pebbles, most likely no

it's true as a general rule guns are always loaded but being properly trained I'm not in the least worried about were my own personal gun is pointedits cleared before its put away and when its picked back up its the other people I'm worried about and I can't stand it when someone's all like don't look down the barrel wat if its loaded that's when I point it at the ground and function check now u know its not loaded lol any way there like nail guns doue check every thing left u nail ur self

RUSSIAN CONNECTION lol

Dan Troop I thought I might need to pick up a Super Redhawk. :)

+hanc37 Cool!

kingClanWeinerMasters Plz no it is still dangerous. Generally do never use guns for something they aren't made for. There are 2 things you should use a gun for : 1: to shoot wooden targets on a range 2: to kill

Not a battle I’m interested in waging. The internet runs on the drama of it all rather than paying attention to the issue at hand, and I have no interest in feeding that monster. Thanks for the note, regardless!

The reason for the pre-made wax bullets is that they have some polymer in them to increase their melting temp. It makes them much less likely to melt during transport or in your loaded rounds waiting to shoot.

I'm not going to do anything to encourage people to take a real gun, point it at someone, and pull the trigger because they think it would be fun. Thanks for watching!

Isn't that the point of this video that foam plugs are safer for quick draw if you accidently shoot yourself in the leg or foot?

Ryan Meyer No. The point was to make fun of a reporter who thought ear plugs on the ground were rubber bullets during the Ferguson protests. Surprisingly, they worked pretty well.

+TWANGnBANG I'm still having a hard time believing someone would be that dumb not to know those were earplugs! Sadly I'm not surprised how many people here in the comments are thinking about shooting people with these things--so foolish!

Brandon Veracka Just google "reporter thought earplugs were rubber bullets" and you'll literally see pages of stories on it.

That's because you don't have children. Once you have children, you'll be doing stuff like that, too.

TWANGnBANG I'm sorry man I didn't mean anything by it I wish you and your family the best of luck

TWANGnBANG damn... that was kinda painful

I thought it was pretty funny actually, especially the sweat dripping. lol

I thought it was pretty cool lol

Sock Blaster Thanks for watching!

Mjo .G Yep. Expensive, but I'm glad I have one. :)

Gain Medium You can get them cheaper from gun shows. I just got the stainless 5.5 for $500. Had only been shot twice.

kii shelt What gun shows are you going to? Around here in Oklahoma, there seems to be a gun show premium. Things are crazy expensive at gun shows.

Indy 1500, one of the biggest in the midwest. Prices are incredible here.

Mjo .G I just don't understand, what have you found in a single-action revolver, it is so boring! I can justify existence only of historical peacemakers or smth like that or their accurate replicas

Well, considering an airsoft rifle would chew trough that cardboard in no time. I think it's safe to say these earplug rounds are pretty much harmless. I'd have no problem letting someone shoot me at 10 yards with one. Might sting a little, but i bet airsoft hurts worse. A direct hit in the eye might cause some damage though.

ColdNorwegian Oh yeah, I forgot about airsoft. It's been almost 10 years since I last played. One friend had a high powered rifle, it left a scar on me that remained for about 4 years. Getting shot with this might be something I'd do when drunk.

Tavierloyal Doubtful. FWIW, rubber bullets are designed to be shot into the ground in front of a crowd, then skipped into the legs. They are not designed to be shot directly at people because they still have lethal KE.

TWANGnBANG Ahh, didn't know that. Only less-than-lethal experience I have is bean bag and pepper spray pellets. Never fired rubber ammo before.

Tavierloyal Note that they get shot directly at people all the time. It's just that is not why they are made of rubber, and people have been killed by them when misused.

That would be really fun. It can't be much more than a paintball gun. But then again, I don't know the velocity of it. It could be anywhere between 500-2000 fps depending on the compression.

+Ian Rogers never mind, I didn't see the part where they said it was only propelled by a primer. So yeah, you could probably have a little fight with them but I would just go with a gas airsoft gun if you're after realism.

Also, since it doesn't break cardboard, it is defiantly going slow enough to shoot someone with. A paintball goes right through cardboard and an Airsoft bb goes through multiple layers. Paintball-250fps airsoft-300-450fps

That's a very, very dumb idea

TheTanman2011 As fast as you think you are, that's still not anywhere near as fast as fast draw with a single action pistol and a fast draw rig. :) Thanks for watching!

Evaporative cooling.

+TWANGnBANG oh I see, and for all I know it was hot that day.. sorry....

YEAH You dumb ass's buying these BS bullets and soon that is all you can buy. WHAT A DUMB ASS

Clocks. Yanni Baby

Karl Staaf Cool!

*Used to?*

Valueless Dollar Then he took an earplug to the knee.

Valueless Dollar It is called winter, no flies around.

KStaaf So what happened to your "Karl Staaf" account? Got locked out?

GunGuru Cool idea!

Christian Keeney So are you!

TWANGnBANG I was really hoping you'd test it on a person. As I really wonder if they will hurt a lot

XCalB You didn't listen to my speech about not pointing a gun at anyone no matter what you think it's loaded with...

TWANGnBANG I did, I actually posted this after I heard it haha. I was really wondering about the damage this would cause to a human in case an accident happened.

Christian Keeney you're*

Thanks, Mikey!
