The BEST 12ga. Shotgun Slug? RIDICULOUS Stopping Power
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2020
- In this video we test a slug called "The Gatekeeper". I've never heard of it and wasn't impressed with anything about it when I first saw it. This is the first segmented, lead-free slug we have tested that has actual "controlled expansion". Slugs like this normally just fragment into many pieces- that is what we expected to see.
I believe the slug is actually made by Maker Bullets - who call it "Maker Overwatch Field 1 oz Shotgun Slug".

Ahhh!! Thank y'all so much for allowing me to shoot some more!!! I had so much fun! These rounds were so fun to shoot!
Also, I realized I never really gave an answer about the recoil so I'll do that here. The recoil is comparable to, but less than that of a 30.06 Ackley.
Good chemistry with you & the two lads. Great to watch.
Great shooting ma'am.
You is a good shot looks fun too greetings from UK England
Good work!
Gallium bismuth alloy slug
Somebody's business is about to expand, just like their product does.
i know the person who made those. he’s my neighbor
Yea, my first thought I’d where do I get them.
Something else is expanding now too
Pixel Dust maker ammo
We just went to his site- all ammo is completely sold out.... imagine that! Good products make their own demand.
Breanna’s a hell of a good shot.
Dead-eye Danny vs. Ballistic Breanna, anyone?
yes, give us a shooting competition with rifles and shotguns
Yes
YES! MY COMPETITIVE SELF NEEDS THIS 😂
I wanna see i wanna see!!!
This needs to happen.
Who ever engineered that slug was a genius.
Yep, all hail Idaho.
That was simply breathtaking. I wonder if these can be mass produced to be consistent at 100,000 unit batches. I could see these becoming the predominant home defense and predator defense round for sure. Wow. Stopping power incarnate.
10:54 yep, it's official. She fits right in with this crew and crowd.
That is one crazy round. My 2nd favorite so far.
It’s like our long lost sister has finally come home. 😎👍
Yup, the Island of Broken Toys. Does her nose glow or does she want to be a dentist?
Misfit, not broken.

"One of us! One of us!"
@@OGsDangerShow not if I don't forget to lock the basement 🏃🏿♂️🔨🚔
Nice shooting by Breanna! Obviously her secret is using long hair to adjust for the wind, just like Ian from Forgotten Weapons. (j/k)
The slugs are pretty incredible.
Praise be to Gun Jesus!
Cross reference!! I award you non-existent points for that. Fine work.
Can you get a demolition ranch reference in there?
lol
@@edwardwood6532 LOL!!!!
These rounds are the most impressive things I've seen in ballistics for some time!
Their consistent expansion is nothing short of remarkable and with these loaded you'd have absolute confidence that whatever you shot would stay shot - and the target would get it's own gold star...
Edited to add that the shooter was the most accurate I've seen in a long while!
Those rounds flew true!
This slug is well designed, thoroughly impressed with it's accuracy and consistency.
I love this video for 2 reasons:
1. This slug is exactly what I've been looking for.
2. She snorts when she laughs.
Point #2 is more attractive than women realize.
@@samuelprice9728 absolutely.😂 snorting while laughing is adorable😍 and will instantly get my attention lol
Awww shucks 😊
I was thinking it was her laughter that included the snorts
That rounds about as survivable as a 50 cal. Absolutely insane temp expansion.
Id say you would die quicker, 50 cal might hit harder but the energy dump on this thing is no joke.
TBF people have survived 50 cals. barely.
@@allengordon6929 not if they got hit center mass right?
@@StrengthScholar0 As long as the temporary wound cavity isn't too big (TBF the round readily creates TWCs more than twice the size of a human body). Ironically being hit with armor piercing ammunition here may give you a better chance of surviving.
Not necessarily, if you were wearing level 4 body armor and if you were to be shot with that slug, you would survive. However, if you were to be shot with a 50 cal, even if the armor stopped it, 50 BMG hits with so much force that you would still die.
"Love heals all wounds"
Love ain't gonna heal THAT!
Haha damn straight, jeez that's a brutal looking death flower of a slug haha, could hardly beleive how perfect it expanded and jeez that thing looks like it would hurt loo
Examiner: This man was impaled with what looks to be some kind of bicycle sprocket.
underrated comment lol.
At $4 per shot do you think it’s ok to go to the morgue to get them back.
😂😂😂
Bahahaha hreat comment!
Nailed....! 😂
Better take care of that before the coroner gets there.
Ahahahaha 👍
Seems to me that this round would be hell on big boars, both hog AND bear. Got enough initial 'slam' penetration to get to the "good stuff", and then transform into a meat 'vegematic'. Whomever designed this thing should be damned proud:) As far as I'm concerned he's surpassed almost all, if not ALL previous shotgun/musket projectile designers, WITHOUT forcing the shooter to endure the massive recoil of the Minie' ball.
Vegematic,ROFL...🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
That sun/petal shape looks like it would dump so much force that you might actually get the classic vidoe game/movie effect of throwing the target off their feet.
Impressive round.
u saw what it did to the gel in the slow mo, it probably would
“Blows the lung out of the body”
@@kaliumnitraat No No NO! Only the 9mm can do that. Come'on man!
Accurate, devastating and absolutely scary. At least Kevlar works nicely, even though it'll probably still break your ribs.
Fascinating slug!
Deadeye Breanna, she's a hell of a shot!
T'was a Tauntaun that Han Solo cut open with Luke's lightsaber.
To be honest , even if the kevlar caught the slug the energy transfer would rupture your organs and still kill you.
I think it stays together for Kevlar, not to be safer for people wearing Kevlar, but so that the power is more concentrated. If it expanded on the Kevlar the target would feel more of a punch than a sharp jab. Bad guys wear Kevlar too.
@@thetruthexperiment Makes sense. Still scary and I wouldn't want to get hit with it. Not that I want to get shot at all...
If you got hit by that it would brake your soul.
@@thetruthexperiment Not a bad guess, but it's not by design that it does that. Please bear with me because I'm trying to remember how an engineer explained it to me years ago.
Expanding rounds need to encounter a non-compressible fluid in order to function. That little cup in the center of hollow points is designed as an area where fluid can accumulate and hydraulic pressure can force the round either open (as in this case and in most hollow points) or apart (as in frangible rounds). The reason the nose collapses in on itself when it hit the kevlar was because there was no fluid to generate pressure in the cavity. The tips of the round transferred all of the energy into the vest and because of the shape of those tips the round folded along the stress lines in around the weak point (the center cavity).
I still sure as heck wouldn't want to get shot by one, with or without a vest.
My jaw dropped when I saw that jelly block slowmo shot. That kinetic energy is amazing.
That was terrifying. That energy dispersion...I think if you hit someone with it they'd just explode. Gatekeeper is a very good name for it. Well done ARM!
That kinetic shock and energy dump is phenomenal!
Even the elasticity in the pork shoulder. I never thought you could get that much movement with it still being intact. I would have liked to see the kevlar vest wrapped around a watermelon or something. To see how much damage you'd get wearing a vest. I would bet the internal bleeding would kill you still.
iMack10 -Thatd be one regretful home intruder 😳
Hey guys, this slug has roughly HALF the energy of a typical lead slug. It’s around 1700ft-lbs. A typical lead slug is around 3100ft-lbs. this would be a devastating round, but a standard slug will be more devastating.
I've watched more than a few of y'all's videos, and this is the most impressive round I've seen yet.
thanks Eric
This video is incredible. I love that you guys used cylinder bore for the testing as well. When you get great results in accuracy with cylinder bore that makes a statement.
Breanna is giving Dead Eye a run for his money! Welcome back and great shooting! Jeff and OG great work as always!
Thanks Bradley!
Hats off to Brianna she's a heck of a shot.👍
She must be the next model of Terminator! Danny will need to go back to the future for an upgrade if he wants to keep up 🤣
That’s ol’ “bullseye Breanna!”
It would do you good to keep her in the mix. I think she’s good for the channel and good to show women can shoot just as effectively. Love her work!
I love the nickname! 😎😁
to be fair in my experience they shoot better than men LOL
Damn right women can (and should) shoot! I think they're better than a lot of guys.
Just about any girlfriend my brothers or I brought home ended up at the range with my father. None had fired a weapon before that, and they all did very well.
@@bullseyebreanna6862 your snorting laugh is cutest ever. I love it.
What a fantastic slug design.....works as advertised and then some..
Great accuracy and one heck of a round never seen expansion so perfect. Cannot believe any of the petals didn't break off. Crazy I'm very impressed. Thanks for the test. Never would have known
Glad you enjoyed it
I was so impressed, I took this over for my wife to watch. Two things out of this: 1) those slugs are devastating. 2) women and shot guns are still a great combo. Unless they are shooting at you. Then, not so great.
lol true
@@taofledermaus I think this slug has earned a place in a top 5 or top 10 best slugs video.
WOW, that really was the most impressive performer of all the rounds that I have watched you test, thank you officer Greg, Jeff and of course Bullseye Breanna for this incredible video.
Bullseye Breanna... I like it!
I third the motion for Bullseye Breanna.
Fourth!
Fifth!!!
@David Miatke Seventh and I want that tee shirt !!!!
I was a range master for 15 years. During that time I never met an average female shooter. They were some of the worst, or some of the best shooters on the range. Breanna has mastered her shotgun for sure. Thanks for the demo.
Must of been a small range
@@dominic6634 oof
I want some were did u get them I wanna shoot a deer with one and see what happens
put it back in your pants..
It's sighted in w/ a red dot. She's sitting at a bench with a stationary target. Literally.. children can do this. There's minimal skill involved. 🧐
Ha, nice that you were here in Idaho. I drive through Horseshoe Bend quite frequently for work and play up along the Payette River and Cascade/McCall. Those things are devastating! Breanna is great shotgun shooter. Subscribed.
That first slug round: "Are you bleeding?"
"Only internally."
It would most likely blow half a man's spine out his back
Or halve a man. Grizzly and effective.
Need me some of those rounds
"That's where blood is supposed to be"
"I ain't got time to bleed!"
Famous last words quoting someone else.
10:54 ... Yep... She's one of us.
There's something she EDCs to the point, that there's a worn white spot on her pocket!
noticed that also
She may or may not be well-armed. 🤫
@@stcredzero Pocket knife. I have worn out jeans in that same spot from mine.
@@awolfalone2006 Yes. This is what I was implying.

Ah good!
Absolutely vicious! Bt far the best performing slugs I've ever seen you all test! Great shooting Breanna!
Been following this channel for nearly 10 years now, love seeing content quality still going up! Also I really would not mind seeing Breanna again, shes a good shot, has lots of positive energy and seems to fit right in there. :)
She’s always welcome here.
She has a great personality.
@@taofledermaus
Agreed. I think she should be added to the standard crew of Mass Acceleration Engineers.

Just kidding of course. Welcome to the team, Breanna.

Well....Thank You. Nice of you to notice 🙄😂😂😂. 🇺🇸😎
Great show Guys ,thanks for all the effort that went into this
Our pleasure!
Surprising consistency from the slug. Excellent shooting. Good Testing.
Today's lesson: Do NOT anger that young lady, especially if she's toting a shotgun. You could try and run away, but you'd only die tired.
To be honest, I saw the intro and thought "is that the Forgotten Weapons guy?" but I don't think his hair is that long yet :)
She could be a modern Annie Oakley.
And to think I'm even better with a rifle or any of my handguns I carry 😏
@@bullseyebreanna6862 LoL !!
@@bullseyebreanna6862 Biggest doe I ever harvested was 168 lbs after field dressed. Hit it in the eye @ 650 yards. All I could see was it's head. Used a 243.
Smart man say: Don't anger woman's Father or Husband.
Wise man say: No, don't anger woman who always hit's what she's aiming at!
Jim Watson Sounds like you're saying she's a good shot but your reply is slightly confusing. Could you, maybe, clarify?
@Jim Watson Copy.

Matthew Greene Intentionally pissing someone off with marksmanship skills like that would definitely put someone ahead of the rest for the coveted Darwin Award!
@@kareemofwheat1463 You're right about that!
This slug is just about amazing. Does not break up or shatter when it hits Kevlar the pedals consistently spread out when it hits gel...... It just looks like a complete badass
Thank u to all ur wisdom and wonderful expert shot, Brianna!
Most impressive slug I've ever seen, low penetration, massive kinetic disbursement, exceptional slug expansion, scary deadly! The gal was very accurate, glad to see her out there.
Does this mean they would be ideal (and safer) for Law Enforcement to use.??? Real stopping power with no risk of pellets or shrapnel injuring bystanders??? As a non- expert with no experience, it just looks to me that it would put a bad guy down with no risk to anyone else. I've seen Corrections Officers (in training) put .223 FMJ slugs through the target and into material some metres behind. Hence, they went from using the Mini-14 to the Ruger 40cal with plain, old, lead slugs. These did not have the knock-down power of what I've just watched in this video
"Love heals all wounds under 39mm"
Great shooting Brianna. And thanks to Greg for sourcing this round. Very impressive.
Quality tests you're all running on this ammo. Can't wait to check out some of your other vids.
thanks Jeremy!
I’m speechless. Those slugs are so beautiful. They bring a tear to my eye.
WOW is all I can say. That round is very impressive! And you’re right, the manufacturer will be getting calls for this one. Great vid! Thanx!
No doubt!
rip rounds ?! nice stuff
It's great seeing more ladies shooting very awesome . Keep killing it Breanna your doing excellent job
Great shooting and very impressive results from the round!!
Someone raised that young lady properly, she is a hawkeye with that shotgun. Those rounds are crazy, I need some.
Thanks!!!
Damn she can shoot. Literally hit exactly where she was aiming every time. Says alot about the slugs as well.
She is one great shot. The projectiles are awesome and totally unexpected.
Oh, one other observation I want to make, this time about Breanna.
When I was a young man, my father sat me down to talk seriously about "the facts of life". As he put it:
"Life is TEAM SPORT; when you start thinking of women and marriage, keep that in mind. Choose your teammate CAREFULLY, keeping that in mind."
I would say, that whomever managed to win this woman's heart, did a HELLUVAJOB! Not only did he succeed 'choosing' as to the 'womanly' side; he choose a 'teammate' fully capable of standing up right next to him, in the face of WHATEVER 'life battlefield' he is ever confronted with! I'm a combat vet and it would've been damned reassuring to know someone of her skills was right there on my flank.... Grats to not only Breanna, but to the parents who raised her:) Good luck and fortune to them all.
5:12 Watching the vest pack itself into the dummy's abdomen was an education unto itself.
makes me think you might have better luck having the thing go right through you.
Brett Baxter I can believe that there would be a bunch of internal damage, even though the slug was stopped. One would still be out of action....
@@archjen Hydrostatic pressure is going to force very large organs out of your major orifices, much like a Playdoh extruder, but a lot more red.
Pretty sure you'd still have pretty juicy insides if a human was behind that vest.
Armor penetrating? No, this round makes the armor penetrate you.
Quick question, Jeff...
If this company wanted to put "As Seen On Taofledermaus" on the box, would you let them?
I second this
holy hell! this is amazing idea
That should be an automatic Yes.
How about replacing all those Flex Seal TV ads for this product?
I love the music in the first part where you're reviewing the slug before firing it, it makes it feel like you're uncovering a mystery or something lol
I have nothing but respect for Brianna you handle your gun well and are a good marksman and probably could give Greg a lesson or two. 🤯🇨🇦
This slug is the most deadly projectile I have ever seen . Dumping all energy in 6 inch . Man! Speaking of stopping power, this must be a record.
My wife gets mad at me for doing the same thing, in the same amount of time.
Tao: "Hey guys, please don't make any gross comments about my daughter"
Breanna: *Hits center of target on every single shot*
The comments section: "Sir, she's Jeanne Wick now, actually"
Good to see the lady on the range.and thank you for your channel I’ve always got something to watch.
thanks Jeremy
It's so crazy just how consistent that expansion is.
Just a few years ago the uproar was all about the "Black Talon" pistol rounds. Fast forward...12 ga slug big as a daisy!! crickets I think we could call it a daisy cutter!
Acquaintance of mine is a former LEO (she was with Georgia State Patrol). We were talking firearms years ago and she mentioned keeping Black Talons in her 9mm. IIRC the uproar was the "anti" crowd was spreading that the round was designed to penetrate Kevlar vests. When in fact (IIRC) the Teflon coating was to help with the feed. Long time ago, memory fading at 61? BTW keep Breanna coming back. Like Kirsten Joy Weiss and several others someone like her will be a great inspiration to get more ladies shooting (or at least make some of them that don't shoot a little less afraid of guns)!
You're a daisy if ya do..😁
You said that you don't want to tick off Breanna's dad or husband, but the way that gal shoots, I would be worried about her.
Agreed.
My thoughts exactly. 😁 My wife and her Glock 19 w/red dot would agree, too.
She has a 12 gauge loaded with Gatekeepers in her home.
For reals
Seriously, she doesn't need anyone protecting her - she's got SKILLS!
Man I love this page, great people behind this.
that shot into the gel was INSANE, these rounds are incredible.
In keeping with an old, old meme, I think this finally is a solid contender for the question: "will it make a good home defense round?"
absolutely
She has more hair than Danny, Jeff and Greg combined.
7:20 that is really rad how they formed like this, I can imagine them being ball-peened down smoothly in to little buttons for suits or other clothing from how neatly the expansion is.
what an amazing slug , great video you three

Haven't been to the coast in a long time. Always liked Morro Bay too.
Great to see Brianna again congratulations on her new baby
Breanna's cool. Hope she becomes a regular guest "mass accelerator operator."
Thanks :)
Imagine putting a loose tungsten dart in the core for vest penetration if needed. As accurate as those things have been it should fly true and give it some extra penetration power for hardened targets. Great shooting, and was awesome to see a return guest. Keep up the awesome content!
thanks!
🤔. Wonder if a flechette would ride in it...
@@DIVeltro It might need to be shorter than a traditional flechette, but a bigger rear. The thin pointed nose shouldn't effect flight characteristics too greatly but may slightly effect fluid dynamics upon impact. You would need the back of the dart to match the center of the slug for stability. Like stabilizing a coke can, versus an upside bottle in the palm of your hand.
Brianna's marksmanship is outstanding !
Well done !
'nuff said. ,👍
WOW! Going on my list to obtain. Great vid! Excellent shooting!
That is the most perfect round expansion I have ever seen
Holy shit, these slugs are crazy. I feel like whoever makes this is gonna have a lot more customers soon. Also nice shooting!
Thank you!
And I hope to see more of her in your videos Thank you very much
hunted all my life with slugs. never seen expansion like that before.
can’t see a dear going to far after taking a round like that. nice good on the video
thanks guys.
I'm voting this as the best slug you guys have ever shot.
I'm voting for more Jeff, OG, Danny, and Breanna.
i concur - have not seen a better slug on this channel - nor any other...
@@jonniiinferno9098 tacti drive was the most accurate this one is a very close second, but with that kind of load transfer this slug would likely detonate a scumbag, democrat (same thing)
That round center mass is not survivable.
Breanna, that’s some damn fine shooting.
Thank you so much!!!
That round hitting your leg would probably bleed you out in 2 minutes
@@lordfrostdraken what leg? There’s not gonna be one of it hits the bone.
I'd like to see what it would do to bone. I suspect a shot in any limb is going to shatter the bone and the amazing amount of expansion in the gel must mean any and all veins and vessels would be severed. So impressive. Want to take this to a feral hog hunt.
You guys are awesome you guys do good work and your extremely respectful thank you for your service
That was some of the best shooting I have seen in a while. Shoot s looks good A+
Impressive slug delivered by an impressive shooter!!
Impressive slug delivered by an impressive...
and cute as hell😍
I feel bad for the bastards on the receiving end of this, great Home defense slug imo
Agreed, I'd like to see how many "walls" it could penetrate if someone missed though. An advantage of using shot in a HD situation.
@@michiganengineer8621 that's what I was thinking, how would it do against sheet rock or plaster-lath? I bet it blows through several walls worth so probably too much penetration for home defense.
Remember, dry wall can't stop anything.
@@taofledermaus Eventually it would, key word is _eventually_ lol
I don't even think it would expand through drywall it would just act like a foster slug... it would go all the way into your neighbor's house if used indoors... There more of a backyard situation.
Been a longtime viewed of the channel and YIKES!!! That’s INSANE levels of expansion and it dumped all its energy, holy cow. Looks like I’ll need to get a box for defense against two legged predators.
That is one the best shotgun slugs I have ever seen! I am going to get a few it can stop any big game I will ever encounter.
WOW !! Amazing round. We have heard about many "ultimate" shotgun shells but this one really is phenomenal. Obviously Breanna is an excellent shot but these shells are extremely accurate as well. You are right, the man that makes these shells is going to get a lot of orders........... starting with me. This will be the first time I ever order a shot shell, bullet, etc. after watching it on a RUclips channel. You guys always have great stuff but this is truly impressive. You should have Breanna on to do more shooting.
Keep up the great work, you guys are awesome. Thanks.
Thanks!

Thanks for showing us another gorgeous fragmenting slug! Like I said with the tenderizer slug, I would love to shoot them and then turn them into jewelry or use them in found object art projects! I can't wait to see what you've got to show us next.
She was Such an amazing shot, and seemed really enthused and having fun with the whole ordeal..
I also like how cool she thought the slugs was, I would be exactly the same way and want to keep one for myself as well.
She was a cool addition to the Video 👍
