I'm waiting for you to fire a mosin!

Keep it up man! 👍

🤗🙏Our family & sons really enjoy this channel! Keep up the great work @KentuckyBallistics

Welcome to kenturkey ballistics!

His mother owns the table company . His father owns a used car lot . Whooda thunk , huh ?

@@billrea66 does she own Sportsmans Guide. ??

Helloo

Lol drill halls, churches. Large outdoor events litterally any event in kentucky uses these. Trade days court days whatever you want to call them. Must just be a kentucky thing to use these I guess.

His breath capacity is legendary!!

Don't forget to mention the breath-taking kelp trees!

🤣😂🤣😂

I was waiting for him to go hunting for talking Square yellow sponges. 🧽

@@ruger8412 That would have been hilarious if he did that.

He keeps asking for tree fiddy. 😂

Probably too dangerous, if the rope bites the harpoon has a chance of coming straight back at you

I was gonna post this exact comment. Kudos 🎉

@@ShaggzVB you do realise that the system is designed to have a rope attached to the harpoon in the first place

How is a rope going to change the direction of a harpoon? It doesn't have an engine. If anything changes its course, the harpoon loses the energy it had.

@MrYfrank14 the rope will act as a stabiliser and keep the harpoon going straight as it will counteract the nose heavy nature of it. It won't make it fly further, but it will stop it twisting in flight so the harpoon should impact on the barbed end rather than sideways

Quite literally

This seemed fairly powerful with .38 special blanks i wonder how much power the .308 has

Great point: using the provided line probably would improve the flight path.

I said the same thing

It takes a very expensive camera to show a bullet and it’s neat.

Send it through a ballistic zombie torso 🙏 😂😂😂😂

Vs a zombie torso

My thoughts as well!!

Exactly

I was looking for this comment. I was going to say the same thing.

Came here to say this but you said it better than I would have.

The water and string help keep the bolt from spinn8ng out of control I've shot spear fishing from pretty good distances and they travel pretty straight in water very rarely do they spin only a couple of times the prongs on the front opened and made it shoot to the side a bit . Great show really good seeing you reduce the aquatic population

Why didn't you use the string I thought that's the way u do it on here that's what u said

Even a 22lr blank can be deadly if used wrong.

someone make sure to let Alec Baldwin know.

@@Brane21 beat me to it!

@Iowa_lot_to_travel they show up on Brandon Herrera's Darwin Award videos for a reason. I never imagined it would throw something that weighed a pound 100 yards though.

@@dogishappy0 Does 300 ft lbs mean it has enough power to move 1 pound 300 feet?

Is this meant to be used underwater? I believe with all that line and such it's meant to be used from a small fishing boat or a whalers boat because I don't see any features that would keep that powder from getting snuffed out instantly when it fires underwater

@@Ghost-zd9cr Good point, I know there are some that are used underwater... but you are right, this likely isnt one of em.

@@Ghost-zd9cr Good spot. I hadn’t thought of that, but it makes sense, and the wood wouldn’t make as much sense under water, either.

@@coryroberts7519 this is a martini Henry action harpoon gun. It's probably close to 100 years old.

You might be thinking of a spear gun, divers use those underwater for smaller fish

He’s like the uncle we all would want

Imagine it, but with .500 magnum blanks…. YEET

@@crazysilly2914 lets go even further, use a 20mm blank.

@@crazyadam9281 I wouldn’t go _that_ far. A 50. BMG is just fine to suffice...

​@@crazysilly2914 At this point just shoot the real deal. 😂

It’s because of the design, the way the harpoon slides over the barrel allows pressure to build up much longer than a standard barrel

Ikr, vs the old Casull video where he says literally nothing🤣

I think a near death experience by overcharged 50 bmg round back firing and blowing up your rifle with shrapnel flying into your neck makes appreciate putting a lot more energy into what you do in life, and Scott is the example of it. Thank God we did not lose this man just yet.

Imagine a 45 70 in that thing

@@bananaowner_real harpoon would have gone through the railway ties in the berm and kept going! 😂

The Navy and Coast Guard used to use shoulder fired line throwing guns made from Springfield 30-03s. Bore out the rifling, cut back the forward end of the stock, install a canister to hold the shot line, turn down the forward 18 inches or so of the barrel to a uniform outside diameter, remove front sight, and add a butt pad with some cushioning. I think the heaviest projectile for it was 18 ounces. I recall one situation where the gunners mate fired that 18 ounce projectile three time before one reached the beach.

Interesting, Matt. Thanks.

Sounds similar to how we Americans go bowfishing.

That's really cool 😋

@@DH-xw6jp bowfishing? Never heard about that, how does it work?

@@mattthekiller9129 similar to harpoon fishing, except instead of using a rifle you use an archery bow to shoot the fishing arrows (with harpoon style tips) at your target, And there is usually a fishing reel attached to the bow. We have even developed specialized boats for night fishing using archery equipment. We don't hunt things as big as tuna this way though. Although the bigger species of catfish that are bowfished can reach over 600 pounds (272 kilo), Gar over 300 pounds (136 kilo), and Carp over 110 pounds (50 kilo).

That is what got me to say WOW!

I wonder if the chamber would fit a .357 magnum blank. Or if not how much powder you could put in a .38 special case before blowing the gun up. It seems like it would be more forgiving of overpressure than a regular gun with bullet in the case. I mean you're only dealing with gas and no bullet stuck in the case to push out through a barrel and that harpoon is getting blasted off before anything breaks.

British shark hunting rifle.

I think it's called a Lyle Gun. I had one for several years. The bore size fit a tennis ball, made for the US Coast Guard and was turned on a lath. At the mussel the thickness about 1.25" and at the other end about 2.25'. It didn't have a breach, one loaded black powder from the mussel. Being about 2.5 feet long it was made of two pieces, the steal barrel and the cast iron base. Total weight ~ 300lbs. The angle could be set at one of three angles and could be separated for transport. The pivoting point wasn't in the middle but at the rear of the barrel. Setting the tension of the bearings would allow just the right resistance to adjust the angle. I wish I sill had it. It had a placard of brass with all the U.S. Coast Guard serial number and other info on it. The whole thing was painted Coast Guard gray. First made to throw a line between ships at sea but was replaced with a shotgun looking line thrower & choppers. Most of them ended up as rescue line throwers shot from shore to a ship run aground. One was used at the mouth of the Columbia River, the boarder of Oregon and Washington States. Ships often ran aground on the bar. I found mine at an antique shop and sold it 5 years later to another antique shop. I paid $300 for it, cleaned it up like new then shot it till my divorce. Sold it for $300. It worked real well as a signal gun and that is what it was used for when the shop sold it. I was probably the last one to put a solid lead cannon ball in it. That's a scary story for another day. Great memories... :)

@@clearlakerain Mussel???

I have a martini rifle... it is arguably my most favorite

It's probably an original Martini Henry I believe it was Greener who also made a single shot shotgun and line thrower out of the Martini Henry

I wondered the same thing!

@@noahfyan9617 thanks..

The A 8S, an archery rifle, has a harpoon variant that I would love to see

YEAHHHH, LETS DO THAT!!!

You should check out Bob's Big Boomsticks. I think they might have some.

I'm hoping he'll check out the Coil Gun... It fires using electromagnetic coils.

​@@Joreel Scott and GarandThumb visited Matt at Demo Ranch some time ago and played around with a coil gun. The shenanigans with those three went exactly how you'd expect 🤣

Well bots are now here

And the best of all, Harpoon guns are imune from ATF nasty hands.

PVC harpoons

LOL

Imagine it but with .500 magnum blanks…. YEET

I'm trying to figure out who will turn the barrel of a .22 down so I can launch arrows from a .22 rifle using nail set blanks.

@@10peteo wouldn’t be very powerful, and would have less range than a standard bow and arrow...

Imagine this but with .500 magnum blanks…. YEET

@@crazysilly2914 pretty sure we'd have another Serbu incident on our hands

@@julian75411 it would have to be a bigger gun, of course...

@@crazysilly2914 "if it seats...it yeets"

My favorite comment so far lol

I like how he thinks 🤙
