"We fire three whole bullets! That's 300% more bullet, per bullet!" - Cave Johnson, probably.

This one has "Geneva suggestions" written all over it .

This is not a slug, this is a shotgun-propelled grenade.

This tickles my inner Canadian. I don't have this checked on my Geneva Checklist yet.

I think that Perry guy just goes around life with calipers in his hand measuring random stuff and being like "yup... this definitely fits in a 12 gauge"

"Imagine having all that inside your gut" No, I don't think I will.

I gotta say Evan is a madman hopefully NOONE ever gets shot with this horrible contraption

Taofledermaus in 30 years: "Evan sent us a micronized oxygen destroyer in a 12 gauge shell. To prevent unnecessary collateral damage, we're using the town of Lodi as a backstop."

thats a geniusly evil round. the stars by themselves are evil enough, but when the blanks fire, it makes the spikes flare out, essentially making it a self-expanding round. and with each star being able to separate off... whatever it hits becomes shredded meat

Can you imagine trying to explain this to a judge... Judge: "Why does it look like he has a bunch of ninja stars exploding out of him." "It's a home defense round..."

Person: *Breaks into home* Home Owner: “OH BOY! Time to try out my new Shotgun Round!”

It's a good thing that Evan is a good man; otherwise, he'd be an evil genius. Sweet work from all involved.

Evan Perry makes MacGyver looks like a grade-school arts and crafts teacher. You lock that guy in a room with copy paper, chewing gum, and a nail file, he'd probably have you rolling around in a nuclear submarine within the hour.

A new white paper is now available: "Analysis of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks with Reference to its Potential and Sustainability against Novel Shotgun Slugs and other Destructive Devices"

Exploding bullets are literally a war crime. So dope.

That's no home defense round, that's a war crime round. The crippler. The frag grenade shuriken shot.

Has Evan ever been psychologically evaluated?... I don't want him locked up I'm just wondering if he is officially a mad genius 🤣🤣🤣

Remove the center pin. The brass cases are more than enough to hold it together. Having a center hole would help it fly straighter, and they would separate more consistently. Put a divot in the middle of each of the flanges and in the inside corner of each point to give them room to bend and detach from the brass more easily. It would also give them a stress point where they could break apart. Make the center hole larger. This will reduce air resistance, keep it more stable, and give each segment another stress point in the center, which would make them more frangible. Using hardened and untempered steel, or cast steel would help with this. Using fewer segments separated by washers or shims would give them room to separate as well. You could also keep the center pin, but redesign it to use a single centerfire blank such as .38 Special in the center with the center pin protruding further to act as a firing pin. With the right materials and enough stress points, this would essentially create a 12 gauge frag grenade. *Hi ATF!*

Canada and Poland be like: WE'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK

Wow, that is an impressive level of ingenuity from a twisted, twisted mind. I love it.

"It's not a war crime the first time"- some electrical guy

This is what the first stages of a war crime look like! Flechettes on steroids

9:11 love the classical Bob Barker Price is Right tune in the background!😊

As Always, Thank You for All of your hard work to bring us these Amazing Vid and Tests!!!

That is one hell of a slug. Remind me never to piss this guy off because not only will that slug kill me, it would hurt the whole time I am dying.

That's a NASTY round. Thank you for the cutaway on how you stacked the shell, nice touch!

So glad I came across this channel, very interesting and so nice!

New spell, fire damage on impact + AoE bleed damage, sounds OP

Congratulation, You have unlocked the first step of creating the boltgun.

Evan is savage and unnatural at devising murderous shotgun slugs. *Grins* I approve.

Whoever made this took the catch phrase "Rip and tear until it is done!" to a whole new level!

"Sergeant - switch to the 'War Crimes' rounds!"

The gel slow mo made me laugh. It was like massive, almost terminal flatulence followed by a hospitalizing prolapse 😂

I think Evan came up with a potential war crime. That thing is terrifying

That shell is crazy. Exploding ninja stars on Impact even near the body would do some serious damage. Awesome video guys thank you

That seems like really unpredictable shrapnel that y'all are like 10 yards from. I hope you're being safe.

Thank you again for making the day a little better.

A playlist of Evan's finest projectiles is a brilliant idea , he certainly deserves a museum of his wickedly wonderful creations . As for todays offering Evan excelled himself again ,just when You thought his destructive devices couldn't be anymore ingenious he rewrites the rule book again . Mile and Tyler did a fine job of putting them to good use & getting them on target , Mike's comment on the Hong Kong body armour and Your take on the T&T jelly contraption brought a wide grin to My face , I, don't think he'd put his gel through such torture and even he'd struggle to make it clear again . Thanks Jeff Thanks Mike & Tyler , catch You next time , Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well.

This reminds me of tank shrapnel shells, which upon penetration will detonate a small explosive that shoots out a bunch of little metal balls very quickly, theoretically killing the crew

A sign on your door saying “This home protected by the Revolver Slug” would scare even the most hardened criminal straight! This is by far the wickedest slug you’ve ever tested on your channel!!

Oooo. Just what i needed today. A little pick me up after shelling out 450$ to have my furnace and hot water fixed after it failing yesterday morning. No heat or hot water in canada this time of year kind of sucks. Haha Take care everyone

i like the new intro roll of the loading setup! really smooth and awesome!

These are wicked! I love the razor blade shrapnel!

Another great video Jeff! Love the evil genius creations from Evan. Awesome to see the ramsets detonating, very fitting to see them tested on concrete blocks. A special thanks to Tyler and Mike as well.

This round is amazing. Evan did a great job with this and I think it requires more tinkering. Thankfully, the new modification I’d suggest is quite simple: attach a tip to the round to the center pin. I think a bit more weight on the tip might help it fly straight and insure the blanks are set off on impact. If he’s seeing this, Evan, make a three sided tip heavy tip for this round before adding the blanks so the round penetrates and guarantees blank ignition with material separating at the tip and adding pressure to the blank primers.

With all these scorch marks, it's so nice and considerate of whoever is manufacturing these to make a round that would cauterize the wound upon entry

After the end of the word legends will tell of an ammo bag full of almost magical shells

Awesomeness as usual. Mike and Tyler did a great job. Jeff great job on the equipment. Love your videos

Holy hell! It's like a hollow point on steroids!

Should have tried indirect fire like a frag round. See what kind of effect it would have on the gel if you shot something solid above or just to the side of it.

Exploding rounds are considered a war crime in the geneva conviction

Someone needs to make these commercially available to the public.

Awesome video Jeff! When the gel block was shot, and farting out all those fumes, reminded me of the aftermath of eating taco bell. Lol

"Concrete masonry unit" is one of the most hilariously bureaucratic things I've ever heard.

That is actually looks like a typical small electric motor stator. Normally you would see wires wrapped between the sections to make the magnetic field used to create spin.

2 minutes in and I'm already getting old school vibes from this one! Can't wait for the rest of the video. You might not have been sure if the gummy bear would set off the blanks, but Evan knew what would happen. That guy is a madman! Or a mad scientist. With all of his contributions, I would even venture...mad genius 😮.

13:20 Gel Fart

I’d be worried about that crimp resting on the rims of the blanks.

Thats just scary how good it seems to work. Would hate to be at the receiving end

I love the wad/ sabot breakdown! Great stuff!

Have you tried shooting an expanding broadhead out of a shotgun?

The problem here is that the slug essentially explodes on impact, which is actually not what you want. This would likely cause surface burns on the skin, but doesn't make the round more lethal. Tank shells are set to explode a tiny bit *after* they hit something so that the explosion will occur inside the target, not on the surface (potentially totally absorbed by the armor). Ideally you would want to introduce some kind of delaying mechanism. It also might be worth re-orienting the blanks, as in their current orientation I don't know how much they actually do to spread the laminate. It seems like unless the target is hard, the center pin doesn't break and allow them to disperse, some maybe weakening that pin is in order.

The metal section is the rotating assembly from an electric motor minus the windings. Common in all dc small motors

I audibly said "Jesus CHRIST" no less than five times during this video

Fake livestreams are whack.

I cannot believe you guys were brave enough to shoot the jell from that range.

I bought these at my local Wal-Mart! They are free with purchase of 3 claymores

1812 overture is a nice touch

Best shotgun slug i ever saw was filled with glass. Went straight through a bullet proof vest.

I have not seen this channel in a while, but every time I stumble upon it. I’m reminded exactly why I subscribed, nothing but quality content and nostalgia.

Damn, now I feel like making a few of these. I'd probably make them a bit differently though. Machine a single cylinder out of a brittle high carbon steel shaped like a thick-walled cup, use a single centrally positioned ramset as a primer charge (heck, maybe remove the gunpowder in the ramset and replace with something more powerful, we only need the primer after all) to ignite a larger quantity of some other explosive housed in the empty space under the ramset (flash powder comes to mind, might be too sensitive to avoid risk of it going off when you fire the gun, would have to run some tests...). Machine some slots down the sides of the cylinder to aid in uniform fragmentation, and you'd basically be firing a little grenade.

Great content as always! Keep up the great content

You guys look pretty handy. If you make some composite metal foam armor with basically foamed aluminium with hollow steel spheres mixed in like peanut brittle, you'll have that fancy armor from NCSU that shatters incoming rifle rounds. I wonder how this would do against it.

"We know how a phone book can stop a 50 cal" DAMN 🤣

It looked like 1 of those .22 rounds made it all the way through the gel block. There was a flash of brass out of the back right before it flips on the table. @13:05, I do believe, is the start of the slowmo that shows the brass exit out of the back of the gel block.

I love the fart noise you added to the gel it had me laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂😂

Destination is wild to see and the damage it does to bulistik gel, i can only imagine what it'll do to flesh.💀

This is basically an incendiary on crack

It is good that Mr. Perry uses his ballistic superpowers for Goodness & Niceness instead of for Evil & KAOS.

I was honestly surprised the blanks detonated.

This is maybe the most terrifying test yet. That would be devastating even without the blanks.

If flechettes were a momentary slug

Okay, guys, where did we put the "War crimes" Notebook.

That's a crazy round! Also, Tyler's shirt is dope as hell.

You shot the gel from too close. You need to let the round separate from the wad. It kept the metal pieces from coming apart everywhere.

a percussion cap on the front of the projectile that ignites a rapid fuse to the blanks that'd fire em off as the projectile was inside the target would be much better in theory, don't know what all that in that form factor would do to performance

A little magnesium for the blanks to ignite may be imteresting

I like how you can see the 3 separate explosions with the shampoo bottle. Also, what happens if you accidentally load actual .22 rounds?

The ninja stars remind me of caltrops, which makes me think this could be a really clever round for popping tires, even if you miss your mark you throw a bunch of sharp stars near the tyre, possibly puncturing it.

That's really what the FBI likes....most epic commentary ever!

ive been watching your videos since the backyard air cannon videos. good memories. im glad you are in good health and still making videos.

its so awesome to see the advancements of people sending their own ammo compared to like 10+ years ago when you started Tao.

This guy managed to make a double war crime slug. That's an exploding bullet, and I'm pretty sure it can also be classified as a flechette round.

That performed a lot better than expected in a very scary way..

Imagine the crime investigators on the scene , we got 1 bullet hole but i can only see a shotgun shell with 3 22lrs"

You can bet if the military gets wind of this design they will want them.

I think thats the best compliment to get, when the dudes shooting it say they might jave to make some themselves to shoot

Word on the street "Ninja blender company" is behind these! 😅

And this is why solid shells will never go away, it's just too creative.

The problem with this is that it gets blown apart too soon as the the detonators are the first thing that hits and then they don’t spread out properly because they’re stuck to the metal rod. You could improve this greatly by adding a piece of metal on the back of the projectile as well as a metal or plastic sleeve around the whole thing that has a cut diamond pattern or something (you can try different styles and sizes of patterns) so that when the blanks fire makes a lot of pressure and subsequently blows the sleeve into many pieces.
