And I much prefer seeing the slow motion right after the shot instead of all of them at the end.

Jeff: "It smells like something... like burnt something..." OG: "yeah, teen spirit" Cracked me up hahahahaha

still can’t express just how awesome it is that jeff makes multiple references to the fallout series in his videos.

Officer Greg is the best stand up on the web. Take a bow OG. Where else can you get good content and comedy with no commercials. Keep it coming Jeff.

Once again, a huge thank you for spending the time creating these "stupid things" for adult enjoyment. The endless creativity in shell design, between viewer submitted and self created, is absolutely amazing. 💯% Fun to watch.

Interesting heavyweight slugs. It appears that at least two of them realized they were on camera in the land of fruits and nuts so they impacted high and left in a classic demonstration if California ballistics. Way to go, Jeff and OG!

Wierd Trivia: That East German helmet was designed in the late stages of WW2 as a way to cut costs from the Stahlhelm pattern by using a simpler pattern that wasted less steel.

So funny, I just a few days ago thought about how you can achieve a good exploding bullet. One was a hollow slug with a primer in the front. I wondered if the impact on bone would ignite the primer. So cool you made a video about this slugs. 🤩👍🏼 Love your videos guys ✌🏼

I literally LOL'd when OG turned around with the dented helmet on. This was another fun filled educational episode. Thanks gents!

Need some more testing of these with some soft targets, really keen to see what these would do to ballistic gel and wet magazines. Would also be cool to see how these work on Danny's lead plate.

A bit late to this party, but I've got to say OG is the epitome of the "square cop" who's really too cool for skool 😎

Blank pouder works the most explosively, and with a little black pouder mixed in u get some smoke also. I find it works in my 40mm cannon. On an empty 5 gal. Can it had a 40mm (1 5/8") hole in front, there was no back side

I would be lost if OG didn't explain the science. Thanks guys!

It would have been interesting if this slug was shot at a gummy bear to see if the powder ignites on the inside. Also I think going wad-free is the way to go with that slug.

I have always appreciated the use of Doom II tracks behind Jeff's narration. Another great vid, TY Jeff and OG.

The impact around 5 minutes is hands down the baddest ass thing I've seen on this channel

You guys always manage to do the coolest stuff with shotguns! Thank you for the knowledge and entertainment

I love when you get inventive and put the primers in the front of the Slugs man that's always a good show always love the videos hope you guys and your families are well

My brother and I, as kids, would meticulously separate the paper on a roll of caps and very very carefully scrape the contact powder out onto a sheet of folded paper. Then we would back fill a .177 air gun pellet and crimped it over to seal them. Made a fun time going out and shooting them at night. They had a similar "crack" to them as a 22 short. It was always disappointing when you'd almost have a whole roll done and get careless and scape on too hard and set off the whole pile lol. A great way to learn attention and patience ha ha.

"Won't even hold the sound in" 🤣

I wonder how a small steel rod would do in the center, possibly put some glue in the cavity to fill voids and secure it, would it act like a penetrator? First thought was steel shot inside, extra fun times for the target. And I'll agree, I prefer seeing the slow motion shots with the regular motion shots so it's easier to analyze what happened on target. I wouldn't mind if you compiled them at the end to pad out run times to make yt happy, as long as they're also where they've traditionally been in the video.

I remember watching you guys since middle school..now? I’m 19!! I was 11-12 when I first watched you guys and coming from California as well I thought it was cool how you guys took the shotguns to it’s advantage seeing how it’s legal in California to own lots of types of shotguns. I was surprised some of these rounds were even legal here. But with peace and love , me and my friends have loved you guys since 7-8 years ago. And loved the fallout reference ! Another favorite of our group of friends.

I love that the flow of ideas for these rounds hasn’t stopped! Thanks for the years of awesome entertainment, guys! ❤

LOL! That takes me back to the days of the Velet “exploding hollowpoints” (yes, I brewed a few of my own inside .44 slugs).😄 Great fun!

Greetings TaoFlederFolks, this is one of the best channels on KZfaq for shotgun lovers.

Wow! Epic video guys! Wonderful shooting and slow motion impacts. Glad Gregg still has his original shoulder. Very impressive slug "calibration" Jeff!

Fun fact: "La Bomba" means "The Bomb" in Italian.

You guys are so very entertaining!! THANK YOU for what you do!! Been watching y'all for years, and NEVER GET TIRED of watching, and I sure hope you don't get tired of doing it!! p.s. I sure do miss Danny, and know you do to!

Funny things happen when your fingers do the walking online. Stumbled upon a blog about deep frying coffee beans. After about 15 minutes of digging and investigation, I am sitting here at midnight, drinking my first cup watching OG and I have to say, this is a game changer. Give it a try guys. I threw mine in an air fryer, 8 minutes on roast at 350. Wow guys. This is bigger than the French press.... sure am glad I’m watching OG on TAOFLEDERMAUS. This video and moment will grind into my mind forever. Wow

Really showing that clear shells are a great thing for any self loader. I'd try magnesium powder mixed into some smokeless for that cavity. I bet that would look pretty cool.

What we really need is someone both with the access to, and is insane enough, to try shoving something more powerful in the slug. I wonder if they make a primer strong enough to activate c4 but small enough to fit on the end of that.

The primer tip is one of best load tricks ever. I will try my 209 primer load in Elmer's glue next week. Should be epic. Thanks Jeff. Your awesome.

Yeah, no one better than OG's inner 12 year old to make a video "for a mature audience".

I used to tell my students that computers run on smoke...When the smoke comes out they stop working...LOL...

Love the GRA New Vegas shoutout you did there

Awesome video, really showed that improvement with the rifled barrel. Excellent work!

Great video. If y’all get more, I would love to see a comparison shot between sploding and not sploding in gel or clay.

I need an entire mini-series of Greg on the street explaining any piece of technology you hand him

If you grind the flake into fine powder it burns faster and more thoroughly for a bigger more energetic pow.

I can't believe fallout new vegas got a mention. Arguably the best game ever made.

Thanks for yet another enjoyable video. The helmet shot was really neat. The hi speed camera footage is always fascinating. Thanks again.

9:05 That's a serious OG helmet/wok !! Love it bro .

The video we needed that we didn't know we needed. Thanks y'all!

I didn't expect to see the helmet vibrating like that especially after it took that dent.

OG wearing that helmet reminds one of Fred Flintstone wearing his Water Buffalo hat... :)) Thanks, OG and Greg!

I remember interviewing for a job at the hard drive factory back in the 90's; most of the questions I had to answer on a big greenboard; they just scaled the solutions down a bit for production.

One of those slugs shot at a thin metal case filled with tannerite would be awesome, anyways enough of my rambling, awesome video as always Jeff and OG. Still missing Danny

I think that, if you're going to go through the trouble of packing the slug with flash powder or something (capped off with a primer), then you might as well add something atop the slug that can fragment and cause some substantial secondary damage upon impact. Since this is a really large/heavy slug design, I'd like to see a version of the slug that is actually two pieces that stack or thread together. The bottom (base) portion should have a cavity and a hole for the primer, while the top is contoured for aerodynamics. It might need a hardened pin/screw/whatever bedded in the top portion (to ensure primer detonation) but that could likely be accomplished with just the lead. When you get projectiles like that that have cavitation towards the front with a solid rear, it is inherently going to be more susceptible to aerodynamic inconsistencies (like the wobble we saw here.) So if you can move the charge cavity to the middle or rear of the projectile, it will have enough mass forward of the COM that it should stabilize dynamically. Having the charge towards the rear of the projectile can also cause the gasses to push outward on the thinner walls (of the base of the projectile) and expand/fragment while still in the body. When you have the secondary explosion towards the front of the projectile, it will expand/fragment at the back of the target, if not outside in of the body. Basically, moving the charge to the back of the projectile will make it detonate closer to the entry point rather than the exit. That way, the forward momentum of the projectile and secondary detonation carry through the body earlier, increasing overall damage. Now, I've never actually tested this hypothesis myself. I don't really have the resources to conduct such an experiment myself at the moment. But I think that could make for a stellar experiment. In my mind, the internal charge being at the front of the projectile means that it will detonate closer to the exit than the entry, clearing a small hole towards the back upon exit. If you can prime the charge at the same moment, but have the actual cavity positioned at the rear of the projectile, then you'll have the secondary detonation closer to the entry point and have more time after the detonation inside the body for the drag/shock to damage the internals.

I think the accuracy improved on that last shot because it didnt have the gas seal, giving it more pressure to the rear of the slug increasing obturation for a better fit in the bore.

Classic IT lessons with OG!! All the gigs!

Fascinating. The sky looks much more blue. In Spain that usually means fresher times after a hot spell. You two are more bouncy in this video so I hope that you are enjoying cooler weather.

Little bit of bullseye and a stud gun 22blank I found yrs ago worked better with the rim hanging over the edge. Be interesting to try gas bottles or a glass of gas. I'm long out of the game so really appreciate all your shenanigans.

I did the same with 357 mag. They opened up like a beer can . Brings back memories.

The slow motion impact on the helmet was amazing!! Great video guys!!

I'm wondering if the surprise in the slugs negatively impacted the balance of the slug (similar concept to an unevenly loaded washing machine) Poor Brandon is definitely gunna feel that in the morning

When I saw the helmet, for a moment there I thought you were finally allowing Brandon to take a shot at the steel plate

It amazes me well not really how much this channel has grown. When I first joined many many years ago I think you were like mid 100k now look at you my boy very nice!

Well done fellas. Insightful and entertaining. Your antic's are the shit!!

Officer Gregg, a nostalgic metalhead , grunge fan to be more exact ! 😊

Another GREAT VIDEO Jeff, thank you for all your great work and thank you OG for always being the comedian, you guys are still the best after being subscribed for 7-8 years who knows but great work!! 💪👊💥

Does OG realise how brilliant and dark that teen spirit reference was! That was as smooth and accurate as Briannas shooting

That slo-mo really tells the tale!!! Awesome shells and really awesome video. Good job, guys!!!

You guys are having way too much fun.

These were some awesome rounds. I’d definitely love to see more exploding slugs in the future. Try experimenting with different styles of slugs to make them stable even with an “explosive payload”.

Hey Jeff and O G , with the base wad attached the projectile was to long for the twist rate of the barrel . When the base wad could separate the slug could stabilize . The longer the projectile the more spin it needs to stabilize . This is why the new rifles and cartridges with heavy for caliber ( and longer ) bullets have faster twist rates ( say from 1 in 10 to. 1 in 8 or faster ) depending on caliber . Thanks for all your hard work !……

I loved it, extra thumbs up for Greg's sass in the end.

I feel like a magnum pistol powder would have a greater effect on target with these slugs, however, black powder should provide a more visually satisfying puff of smoke. I know you are probably the only mainstream guntuber that would do a video on the differences in high speed slow motion of the same slugs, with the same powder load and gas seal, with different powder loads in the cavity.

What are the size requirements for a slug to run properly through a barrel of a shotgun? And how can you tell if slugs can be safely shot through a shotgun? I was looking at guns in a pawn shop one time and they showed me a gun that appeared to have a buldge 2/3s down the barrel that I assumed was a failed attempt at shooting a slug down the bore. Your videos are great to watch thanks for the effort and detail.

Truly appreciate all your videos. Thank you! I hope those shells don't usually have that much gun powder creeping past the seal.

Officer Greg seems to know his tech stuff.

12:34 - how surprising this slug didn't just punch through the helmet! I know those helmets as they used to be really cheap here in Germany and many kids bought them in the 90s just to play with them. I always wondered what this helmet can withstand. By the way - calling him Brande(o)nburg was just perfect :-D

I would have enjoyed seeing ballistic gel... But Good vid just the same!

1st off: Thank you for not blaring the background music! 👍 Would to see this hit ballistic gel!! If you get more of these,please consider it. As always, great video!

Greg’s computer tutorial epitomizes “securitization through obfuscation”. 😂👍🏼

Dig dug,. Lol. Thanks for the memories O G,. It's crazy when he said that brought back the memories of the arcade circa 1983.😀

So, a question, and you may have addressed this, and I might have missed it, but wouldn't these shells be a no-no to a certain group? Or, do they not care?

Those look like they’d be more for home defense.

I appreciate your constant, attentive, and tasteful work in pushing the envelope

Not sure why this video popped up in my KZfaq recommendations, but I definitely stayed for the humor, the shooter is hilarious 🤣👍

So in other words. This slug is a shaped grenade.

You should have sent the hard drive to a Data recovery company for a laugh!

its not LA BAMBA!! its LA BOMBA!! its not the dance ,but the BOOOM!! say it like this: LA BOOOMBA

One of the funnier recordings of OG. Loved it. Thanks guys. Rock on.

Fun fact, those *6* boxes you were pointing to on the back of the drive are for power delivery. Ya know, on the pcb board (but I like green board too) And yes, they're platters.

In 1970 I was building these things black powder works good too. The shotgun primer is helped with a bb glued in the center of the primer.

These are some weapons grade dad jokes 😂

The hole in the front of a shotgun slug has always been the same size as a #209 primer. I never thought it was a coincidence. Fun fact. Old fashioned aluminum arrows are the same size, too.

Plot twist - there are three whole bitcoins stored on that HDD

If you took all of the "authentic" pieces of Berlin wall sold over the last thirty years you could build two Berlin walls. 😂

If you could get those to stop tumbling, slip a .22 long rifle round into it, you would have the perfect gift that keeps on giving. A bullet that shoots back at the shooter.

The disc changer in the slo-mo had a cool burst of blue smoke as it tumbled over the first time.

Lol. I could watch that sloMo headshot on the BrandMeister, with the steel pot getting all bent out of shape, all friggin day long! So entertaining, guys. Great shooting-video and pewpew!

“Smells like something.. burnt” “yeah teen spirit” lmao

You need to send that hard drive to that guy that makes cool slugs, see what he can make out of it.

i love watching the transfer of kinetic energy between round and target.

I love your channel and thank you for all the hard work and great videos

I'm actually pretty sure that computer survived just fine lol. I also appreciate all of the Doom music you were playing while experimenting with the _wads_

64gig Hard drive space always is increments of an octet (8s) 8,16,32,64 etc And those things he pointed at on the “green board” are mosfats. They’re for power stabilization

Going through your content again because I love you guys and Fairy Hair. Got myself the 9mm Interceptor. Evil round.

Absolutely love the slow-mo. Great job.
