So used to seeing the ballistic gel, stretching, flailing and distorting... the lack of energy dump was so bizzarre 😂

That mushroomed projectile was rather impressive after its meeting with the lead plate

The ripple as it went through the wood was very cool

Love how they come with chocolate box labels.😅

Now THIS can blow a lung out! Lmao

You do incredible work, Jeff. Thanks!

Another Fantastic Taofledermaus Episode! Sending Slugs Down range. And other projectiles. Thanks for the knowledge and entertainment.

Steel nitrous oxide cylinders are mild,ductile alloy which is low carbon. Considerably softer than the high tensile chrome moly steel which modern barrels are made of.

I was so surprised they didn't go through the lead plate! They do have great penetration. I bet they would go clean through a T-Rex. Also really cool to see you bring out some of the fans. This was a fun video

I love the nerd part of you making these projectiles fly.

Absolutely spot on the name... Gorgeous slug(s) and a very cool video. Lovely!!! Thank you for the hot days filming, preparing and shooting!

Rifling does make everything better. I have a rifled tooth brush that spins my teeth, a rifled pringles can that can pop a chip into my dogs mouth from across the room. Even a rifled pair of sunglasses that allows me to see past the sun! PAST THE SUN CARL!

Bunker Buster is very valid as a name! They just PLOW through everything!

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this Premiere

There is a teflon ring used to seal Transmissions. Every transmission shop has a box of leftover 700R4 seals they never use. The ones used in a 700R4 would work really well for this application. You just need to make a ledge in the projectile to fit the seal. Would work as an attached sabot and a gas seal. Wouldn't need the sabot and the steel would never touch the barrel. The teflon seal is meant to resists about the same pressures as the rifle. Might look into it. They are uniquely shaped so would be ideal for this purpose. Very resistant to heat. Often the only seals to survive a complete Tra nny burn out.

I had to go back and forth into my subscription list a few times this last month to get your videos back into my home page feed. This one showed up second from the top, in the middle column, this morning! It was right there when I opened the app. The algorithm can be trained.

I hope you can get it sorted out with the different types of slugs he sent. Some look like they could be very good. Your videos are always fun and a great topic at work. Thanks 👍

Those had some of the most wicked sounds down range that I've ever heard.

Now that you mention it I haven't had a notification on at least the last 5 videos you have put up. Glad I check in every week!

this is one of, if not the best, firearms channels on youtube. the content is so interesting with real experts a craft and no bullshit. every video I learn something new. Thanks for the top tier work guys

Whatever else these accomplished, they have got to have the coolest sounding ricochets ever!

Now that's a slug! Great video and I'm watching it again. So guess it's a 20 outta 10 then. U broke the record on this 1.

This is the first video of yours that YT has informed me about in several weeks - I am off to check which videos I have missed as I have watched them all for over three years, and many of the earlier ones too.

The Steel Penetrator slug will go thru a lot of stuff....When i worked for the Tennessee Sheriff Dep. back in the 1970's we were issued steel shot 12Ga rounds.......Amazing video thanks Jeff Brian Griedel David & Mike..... Old Shoe🇺🇸

I love every episode you create. There is nothing better than the knowledge you show in the beginning then the results of putting it to practice.

always a good day when Jeff posts a new vid

Watching that bit at the end made me check the channel, haven’t seen a video for 2 weeks!!! At least I have something planned for my morning now

To make a hole through the target!..and the thing behind it...and the thing behind that....and well the thing behind that too. You know what its just the hole maker 3000 now. Great video guys awesome projectile testing!

I have never seen a solid peice of wood wobble it looked like a shock wave when that hit

Awesome job guys

Great work Jeff, love your stuff buddy. Love these guys too.

Thanks Jeff. I always enjoy your videos. I hope things straighten out with KZfaq.

Appreciate all the work to keep us entertained!

If you switch to a stronger bolt action (I suggest a Savage), use RMC brass, you will be able to use larger charges of very slow powder to get more velocity, which will of course mean more penetration and longer range. When shooting at a T-Rex with a tiny 45 gram (1.58 ounce) projectile I like to see a minimum of about 1,700 FPS. Penetration is everything as we could be talking about having (depending on the angle) to penetrate 48 inches of meat to reach the heart and of course pretty dense ribs or sternum are often in the way. A similar problem arises when taking a hip shot to slow the animal down. Those pelvic and thigh bones are pretty thick and dense. A tungsten carbide core instead of lead would probably also help the penetration. :)

Welcome new shooters! It's all good! Glad you are here

The shock wave when it hits the timber is kool 👍🇭🇲🇺🇸

Interesting shape and effect through liquids, if you could try to harden the steel, it might go through the lead plate.

First part of testing a bullet is make a bunch of different weight bullets of different designs to get reliable results...

I really enjoy watching you guys

One of my favourite channels man, keep it up

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! Love your channel!!!

I believe that pink thing is a "Backyardigan"

I still get all your notifications here in Scotland. Thank you for all you do for us.

Thank you for all of the time you take to share your experience Much Respect Bill W.

It’s an impressive penetrator, but too clean for personal protection. I might be mistaken, but the destructive power of torpedoes was because they penetrated, then exploded once they had penetrated. You see where I’m going? Precision explosive slugs! 🤓

Awesome video and a great example of why they say Steel rounds bounce! Don't forget that safety tip everyone.

So torpedo design is really smart! Looks awesome

Great video..that was a beast of a slug..I'm surprised it didn't go through the lead plate..I really enjoyed it..cant wait till the next one...

Thank you for using "common folk' that don't have the experience you do. I enjoy your posts. Even the ones that I lack the experience w/shotguns that you have. My experience is with center fire rifles thanks to my dad and his work with a RIFLESMITH. Keep up what you are doing. I'll keep watching! .

Hey Jeff and team, You always have kapton tape as a fallback.

Nice work Brian, welcome to the brotherhood of bullets

Jeff, Thank you for the content you provide, it's always a pleasure to watch another new video from your channel. I love watching the various projectiles that fans make and send to you for analysis, really neat format for content. And padding it with various one-off videos and random slug tests? Pure genius. Presumably, you'll never run out of content to make, and the potentially marketable slugs you receive is just an added bonus. Did the Ballistic Machinist send you guys more Interceptor rounds? Those things are the new hotness, and quite hard to purchase the last time I looked into it... Regardless, I wish you and Greg the best. Hope you all and your families are safe and happy. Please, keep up the good work, your efforts to create media are not wasted based on the ~1.5 million subscribers you have! -AHS

A good boar slug. Also, I am still getting notifications, still showing subscribed.

So glad you did this one. I've been making these shells for years. Working at a music festival, the no2 canisters are readily available. Always wondered how they performed on the high speed

Those are devastating!! I fully expected it to go through the lead plate. And how it was mushroomed was amazing. Just glad you guys didn't get hit by it zooming back. Take care guys.

Great shooting, greater production. Thank you. Colorado SPrings

It's like a box of chocolates for gun owners.

Well done David. First time shotgun run looked pretty good. Those bunker buster rounds seem a bit scary. I like it that way. Good video fellas...

Superb video thank you all from the 🇬🇧

That first shot sounded like a new and improved laser blaster sound effect

Man, i dont know. But i miss Officer Gregg here. You are just great. the perfect combo. You just make me laugh every time you both are together. I need those bad jokes. Gregg is like Tom Selleck and you are like David Hasselhoff. gahahahhahaa. love you guys. keep up the good stuff

So this is the type of ammo they should have been using against those giant bugs in The Tomorrow War.

Hits so hard even the dummy grimaced!

Yep... I have watched this one... I watch all your videos.. and have been watching them for years :)

Great job guys!!😅 thanks for shooting those dangerous rounds.

Bless you for going out in this heat to film us some more great content. The valley heat is killing me. Can’t even escape up into the mountains, ‘cause it’s hot up there too.

Impressive thank you Sir for the video it was interesting. Your videos are always interesting & appreciated.

I knew you'd find the punt gun, they were used to clear either one side of a river bank or just all of it haha brilliant as always 🇬🇧🍻

The torpedo shape appears to be pretty stable, but heavy. Really interesting post, thank you 👍

I have not watched the video yet but I am going to go ahead and say home defense round!

As always. Another great video!

Interesting results for sure. Wasn’t expecting it to pass so clean, not much energy dump there. But it would probably do the job.

Thanks Jeff keep making good content. Have you tried shooting flesh/meat or ballistic gelatin out of a shotgun?

Jeff,Mike and David y'all rock! Peace

You sir are the maddest of mad scientists!

I wonder how it would perform against an engine block.

I'd love to see that shot with a steel ball bearing inserted in the hollow end.

I'm still subscribed, and your videos pop up as recommendations, but they don't show up under the notification bell. Thanks for the great content!

My notifications from your channel is about every 3rd video, but you r right on the front/top of my KZfaq home page. Which helps me to see your videos often.

An interesting data point. Thanks.

Always love the vids and so far I’m getting notifications just fine.

Love the creative content 👍

Jeff u do and awesome job loading these slugs and trying 2 be safe about it. Dave grown man never shot a shotgun before. Least he's hanging out with best in the business. Great video Jeff solid 10, but I'm watching it again so it's a 20 outta 10.

The beginning of each video, what I call the “science class” is always interesting, even if I don’t understand many of the more advanced concepts/mathematics. Makes me wish to become a gunsmith 😂

Hey Jeff! I just wanted to confirm your findings. My views are 1/5 of where they were a year ago. 1k per day rather than 5k. My monthly ad rev is only 20% of where I was in 2020-2021. Back then I got 15-20k daily views. Absolutely nothing has changed about my format, and it's even 4k. Staying challenged. There's a terrible disturbance in the audience or the algorithms, but I refuse to let it change me. My channel would be dead without Patreon because my videos aren't cheap to make. Those guys are saints, and I never listened to you when you told me to quit. Additionally, I wish Shorts would go away forever, or split off and become an entirely different Google product. It doesn't belong here, it sucks viewers into a hole where they can't see real videos that we work tirelessly to create. We have to compete with Shorts for the exact same audience. Their quality, format, and largely their message is *terrible.* I believe they're destroying the credibility of the filmmakers on this platform. Those unfazed by it still get to contend with the up-to-an-hour-long-ads. The advertising team at KZfaq needs an overhaul.

Love the guest apprences

Your channel used to be in my recommended's all the time, I had to hunt for it today.

You know. I watch every one of these and love the science and how calm it is.. But ALSO I love that if I showed up next to you at a range with a pipe and wooden block I turned into a shotgun you would be all about it. If you ever need fingers and shoulder LMK.

Great video as always!

T-Rex whacker...cut's deep...doesn't expand alot...but can chop it's thru to the vitals Pretty cool! Keep em coming!!!

Good shooting guys and a thought that was a good round

I'm stickin with ya. I don't wait for notifications I check every now and then and make sure I haven't missed one.

Also, been a fan for a long time. Love you guys rip Danny

Sweet slugs, cool video 👍

Cool those slugs looked hearty

When it takes the vest with it 😳 WOW❗

as a former Hydraulics tech with other OJT of HI PSI!! and testing of all and at All temps cryo to Hi temps and other Haz, with Pipe Pigging OJT at all PSI and others. if one was to coat the inner dia of a skirted projectile with an oil or grease with textile wads I think the center would Not Compress into that cavity much, but you would coat the path with the material while exerting a sealing wedge or pressure ID to OD. LOVE The IDEAS!! and get It Done!

That thing hit Brandon so hard, on impact you can actually hear him fart if you listen close.

Good stuff. Thank you.

Another great video. Good stuff.
