Thanks for giving it a shot. Glad you found it entertaining. Not at all what I expected for low velocity performance. All of my handgun testing has been in water, clay, or wet-packed newspaper; but most of the testing has been done with rifles - .44 Mag and .444 Marlin.
Not sure how i missed this one in the past, but in hindsight im glad it took this long to see it. Was nice to see danny again. RIP buddy, you're still truly missed.
Now if we can get bullets that shoot bullets that shoot even more bullets! (Just keep going till you can't stuff anymore in the other!) As long as they are spent casings with a filler inside .
It's so surreal to watch a bullet come out of a bullet, it looks like something you'd see in shitty CGI or inaccurate representations of guns firing, but it's real! One hell of a round, really interesting video.
Here I ALWAYS thought that the cheap action movie showed whole rounds flying through the air because they were cheap and ignorant... Now I finally realized that they were just filming during an ammunition shortage!
Just imagine this same idea, extrapolated out to the nth degree: "In this video, we'll try the latest iteration, where the second casing leaves the barrel, travels about half the distance to the target, and then the second casing separates to reveal a microscopic man with a derringer, who then fires at the target. These men are of course, reloadable."
There's an M C Escher print that looks similar to what you're describing, it's a cutaway of a pistol and the ammunition in it and inside the bullets are these little soldier dudes carrying rifles and their helmets are the nose of the bullet

So you could technically shoot "The whole bullet" (That's 65% more bullet per bullet) Load a full .40 cartridge in a 44 mag? Like those slow mo scenes from low budget movies? Hahaha
Don't even consider it. It will result in a blown-up gun when the pressure detonates the cartridge/bullet. A person who shall remain nameless tried this over 40 years ago by loading a .32 ACP cartridge in an 8 mm Mauser case. It blew up the gun and injured the person.
@@MrTruckerf though you could load the .40 bullet of choice with wadding in a spent shell then load the dumdum In and shoot it will act like a double jacket.

I have seen other channels do it, especially in these hard times. Many of the channels I subscribe to have said not to send to money if you can't afford it. It is a welcome thing to see though. If you get to the point where you actually need some money for something I would suggest a live stream or two. I have seen some people make a fair amount on super chat donations. Crappy thing is youtube swipes 30 percent off the top.
been done ALLOT.. done it myself. brass swaged projectiles have nearly the same as factory, and with a few modifications to the swaging process, they can have MUCH BETTER ballistics than factory. this is because factory will use the most "relyable" loads, and the most "AVERAGE" ogive on the tip of a projectile. being that every barrel is different, this means that factory will shoot well AVERAGE amount of times. where, someone who swages thier own jacketed projectiles can hone in on the PERFECT design for the BEST ACCURACY AND BALLISTICS. i made 45's that could go through 3/4 inch of drywall, but not 1.5 inch of drywall. i made projectiles that expoded on impact, i made projectiles that would peper anything with lead pellets like snake shot. it all can be done, and it all has been done.. nothing is new when it comes to firearms and projectiles, unless you look at the cutting edge militiary level stuff.. but civilian, all the same, and has been this way since cowboy days.
@@nipplecream3099 I'm afraid not the correct technical term is cartridge. Round is often used as a layman's term but typically only refers to the bullet itself.

yes, it works for other calibers, however it becomes less cost affective the larger you get in caliber. also high powered rifle calibers are a bit harder to convert and harder to find donor caliber cases.. not many cases out there that are close to 30 cal. there are some but they are not that common.

@@taofledermaus you guys have class and morals .not to mention great content..thank you for what you do..especially in these times with cancel culture and dare I say hipster pussification
OMGosh, this is a bit of a "terrifying" round. It may be traveling slower, but the way it just explodes/shatters when it hits the solid objects is incredible. I'm aware that most round flatten or spald when they hit a solid surface, which is why we always talk about getting Spalding/shrapnel damage to the neck or arms when wearing metal plate armor. But this round breaks actually seems to shatter in an "explosive way--making it much more devastating and lethal for the area that gets sprayed with its shrapnel. This round almost acts like a combination of a FMJ, hollow point, and the R.I.P rounds all mixed into one, because it punches through, flowers, and leaves metal fragments in its target all at once. Prime example is when it hits the Gummy bear--the cavity expansion was massive. Then on top of that, the round still had enough power to go through and completely wreck that vest. Granted, it wasn't a standard gel-block, but still impressive. I would be interested to see a few more tests done with this round. 1. Shoot a standard Gel-block with a brand new vest behind it. It'd be nice to see the FMJ, HP, and R.I.P combination in full effect, and I am curious if the fatter portion would still go through a standard block and hit the Kev vest and what damage it would still do to the vest. 2. Shoot a new vest by itself to measure the full effects it has on armor. Basically what I am trying to say is, this new homemade-round is impressive and if it were tweeked so that is flew straighter (and maybe a little faster) there would be a new mega round on the block--that's my opinion anyway. And I could only imagine the military, law enforcement and home defense applications this type of round would have... and also what kind of legal issues one might have to worry about if used
This has been around forever, we do it for 9mm, 40, 45, 357, 44, etc. We use old dies like 220swift, 7mm mauser, 375h&h etc to make these. Lead wire, or blank slugs are used, but other materials like zinc or sand, plastics, wood, wax, glue, and even water has been used in making projectiles like these. I make my own 9mm, 38, 40, 45's and they make good "plinking" and practice ammo. You can also use 45acp or any 7.62 case or 308 or 30.06 case in 50cal muzzleloaders.
This is a great video! When I saw the prototype bullet still have the case with the markings on the bottom I had the nostalgic feeling of being a little kid and thinking the whole case came out the end of the barrel not just the projectile.
Back in the 1970s we used the massively strong RCBS Rock Chucker press to homebrew our own.223 jacketed hollow points from .22 rimfire cases and lead. We scrounged lead and alloy materials from wheel weights, fishing sinkers, whatever we found along the roadside and around lakes and sea shores. The tricky part was the melt temperature, alloy and pour to get balanced bullets. Worked great in an era when .223 was mostly FMJ, and we didn't want to switch to .222 for access to hunting rounds.
@@darunealbane it’s been a long time since the video and your comment but I am very curious as to why you think you need lead to engage rifling? Most bullets, even hollowpoints, have a metal jacket, usually copper but sometimes brass. Even home made bullets have hard cast and wax lubed lead bullets because regular lead will foul the barrel too much.
Jeff has to be one of the coolest tubers, never heard a creator say anything like that about helping a yt channel. Everyone on the Tfm channel thank you for the content and for being great folks.

If they ban ammo and firearms then people will be MAKING them out of homedepot parts, full auto. We could even see new technology or LASER guns. Shit happens when people are denied what they already know and have owned for years. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it type stuff
I have done this very thing before but with bird shot. Almost like a glasser safety slug. They also make great snake shot loads if the " jacket" is prefragmented.
Idk why I enjoy gun videos so much I don’t even own a gun and I don’t really even want to buy one at all but RUclips keeps recommending them and I keep watching
Mannyca here on YT did a bunch of these kinds of loadings. Used standard rifle dies and Lee sizer dies. Fully anneal the brass you are going to turn into bullets.
who would have thought you could turn a casing into a projectile ?? its genius , this was a very interesting experiment to watch keep up the good work guys!
That first few seconds of the intro music and camera angles literally had me thinking I accidentally clicked on an old How It’s Made video🤣🤣loved the vid man, would have been cool if this idea worked a bit better, but after all the point of testing is to figure out how good they perform so I’d still call it a success😁
I bet these would actually make a pretty awesome hunting round in a lever-action carbine. Cool idea! Makes me want to see someone load some live .40 S&W rounds into .44 Magnum (or .454 Casull for safety?) brass for use in a rifle or Super Redhawk…
Thanks for giving it a shot. Glad you found it entertaining.
Not at all what I expected for low velocity performance. All of my handgun testing has been in water, clay, or wet-packed newspaper; but most of the testing has been done with rifles - .44 Mag and .444 Marlin.
Appreciate your idea, think its good to know for any odd situations you might find yourself in these days w ammo shortages
I may have screwed up asking you to send light loads. I imagine they would work much better at higher velocities and/or through a longer barrel.

the way it doesn't expand and stays solid is like being shot with the .44 mag version of a shotgun slug, great accuracy as well.
I saw a glock 50 cal video the other day and the bullet didn't expand at all after shooting mutliple items
Danny's little Yeet gave me a laugh and made my day
I had to go back and make sure I heard that right xD
SAMEEE I DUNNO WHY PEOPLE ARENT AKNOWLEDGING IT
I was gonna go the opposite way and say if Danny never said yeet ever again, we would still like him🤣 made me laugh too tho
A "Yeet" and a finger wiggle from Danny. A good day indeed.
Jeff you're to good to us. Going around saying you can kill your pledges if you need. While most channels are thirsty for more
I've always hated asking viewers to help support the channel. It's only fair that if the time ever came that the situation improved, I would let everyone know that. Thanks!
Indeed a gentleman

Rest easy Danny you absolute legend. So glad we got so many videos of you shooting these crazy cool different rounds!
R.I.P danny! Cant believe ive missed this video, only 2 years late, awesome experiment guys 👌🏾👍🏽
The most surprising part of this whole video:
.40 Short & Weak finally has a use again!
:P
Never thought I would hear a "YEET!" from danny. Fun video

OMGosh, this is a bit of a "terrifying" round. It may be traveling slower, but the way it just explodes/shatters when it hits the solid objects is incredible. I'm aware that most round flatten or spald when they hit a solid surface, which is why we always talk about getting Spalding/shrapnel damage to the neck or arms when wearing metal plate armor. But this round breaks actually seems to shatter in an "explosive way--making it much more devastating and lethal for the area that gets sprayed with its shrapnel.
This round almost acts like a combination of a FMJ, hollow point, and the R.I.P rounds all mixed into one, because it punches through, flowers, and leaves metal fragments in its target all at once. Prime example is when it hits the Gummy bear--the cavity expansion was massive. Then on top of that, the round still had enough power to go through and completely wreck that vest. Granted, it wasn't a standard gel-block, but still impressive. I would be interested to see a few more tests done with this round.
1. Shoot a standard Gel-block with a brand new vest behind it. It'd be nice to see the FMJ, HP, and R.I.P combination in full effect, and I am curious if the fatter portion would still go through a standard block and hit the Kev vest and what damage it would still do to the vest.
2. Shoot a new vest by itself to measure the full effects it has on armor.
Basically what I am trying to say is, this new homemade-round is impressive and if it were tweeked so that is flew straighter (and maybe a little faster) there would be a new mega round on the block--that's my opinion anyway. And I could only imagine the military, law enforcement and home defense applications this type of round would have... and also what kind of legal issues one might have to worry about if used
God bless Danny. These older videos just feel more nostalgic and lighthearted.
"Sopwith Cameltoe" is freaking genius naming.
I like Anthony tedjamulia more. Has a ring to it lol
Everyone: man, i cant find ammo anywhere....
Jeff Goldblum: Nature finds a way.
So, those oranges would be an analogue to lungs all lined up. Good to know if we get attacked by disembodied lungs, these rounds will do the job.
Not everyone can have a meat target with a new and improved high tech fleece bullet stop.
Its not like that hasn't happened before. Those of us who were there will always remember.🙏👍😉
Honestly, who hasn’t been in that situation? Happens at least once a week!
@@notforsaletoday1895 😉😂
This has been around forever, we do it for 9mm, 40, 45, 357, 44, etc. We use old dies like 220swift, 7mm mauser, 375h&h etc to make these. Lead wire, or blank slugs are used, but other materials like zinc or sand, plastics, wood, wax, glue, and even water has been used in making projectiles like these. I make my own 9mm, 38, 40, 45's and they make good "plinking" and practice ammo. You can also use 45acp or any 7.62 case or 308 or 30.06 case in 50cal muzzleloaders.
This is a great video! When I saw the prototype bullet still have the case with the markings on the bottom I had the nostalgic feeling of being a little kid and thinking the whole case came out the end of the barrel not just the projectile.
"full pass through, all three jugs." that reminds me, I haven't seen Total Recall in a long time.
Arnold's or the remake?
I heard the remake was a total flop! Not worth the watch. Too much CGI and bad acting. Just go watch the original one again if you want a refresher.
Sharon Stone is insanely hot in the original
I see what you did there... 😁
@@zacharyrollick6169 original, @5rounds rapid gets it.
It’d be interesting to see the after effects on the rifling after having brass casings flying down the barrel. Super cool concept, and great video!
It's probably less harsh on the barrel than shooting solid xtreme penetrators
I have used S&B 9mm with brass jacketed bullets. You get gold plated rifling instead of copper.
Very ingenious of Sopwith
Awesome footage and Dead Eye Red nails it again
Back in the 1970s we used the massively strong RCBS Rock Chucker press to homebrew our own.223 jacketed hollow points from .22 rimfire cases and lead. We scrounged lead and alloy materials from wheel weights, fishing sinkers, whatever we found along the roadside and around lakes and sea shores.
The tricky part was the melt temperature, alloy and pour to get balanced bullets.
Worked great in an era when .223 was mostly FMJ, and we didn't want to switch to .222 for access to hunting rounds.
RIP Danny, glad this video came back through my feed
Is that the Taofledermaus world headquarters behind Danny at the first of the vid? Impressive...
Lol, not sure why that is there but we think someone dragged it there and dumped it.
At 6:02 when he said "yeet" I felt that 😤
Gotta love Florida Man in ALL his forms!
usually a mugshot if he survived his exploits hahaha
I like this kind of stuff. Creativity is a beautiful thing when used for good!
I must say that's genius solution to a very common issue. Hats off.
That has gotta be one of the greatest usernames I’ve ever heard
Thank
It is by far the best, haven't laughed so hard in months
Damn that thing is no joke! Would love to see a part 2 with full power loadings and a long barrel.
Just started video .. am assuming issues with accuracy .. no lead to engage rifling to spin
@@darunealbane it’s been a long time since the video and your comment but I am very curious as to why you think you need lead to engage rifling? Most bullets, even hollowpoints, have a metal jacket, usually copper but sometimes brass. Even home made bullets have hard cast and wax lubed lead bullets because regular lead will foul the barrel too much.
Finding those bullets at a crime scene would really confuse forensics
Always a pleasure to see Danny in a video
Jeff has to be one of the coolest tubers, never heard a creator say anything like that about helping a yt channel. Everyone on the Tfm channel thank you for the content and for being great folks.
This is how every anti gun activist thinks bullets in flight look.
lol
Honestly, I wish you were kidding.
Who gets the pat on this the guy to put them together or the libs lmao
Does their ignorance on guns... *trigger* you?
Great video as always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😉
Thank you very much Horst!!
@@taofledermaus Sopwith Camel, I have one in 1/3 scale Balsa USA.
I have no issue with finding the bullets, I need primers!
I feel your pain brother! It's like the bad old days when Oblabla was president.
@@James28R just wondering if you need a license to purchase loading components over there? I have trained in the UK with 7 Para and other units, but never got to experience the civilian side of UK sporting arms.
We cant find powder for my muzzle loader we had to skip out on deer season because of it
You can make your own with match heads
And powder!
Love seeing you pop up on my feed Danny, you’re well missed
For all making jokes about the round, the gyrojet was a gun that shot the entire bullet, and casing from the gun itself like a missle lol.
And the volcanic pistols
@@abysswalker2594 they did?
@@WikterRor2807 Yh the powder was in the bullet had no chasing nothing
@@abysswalker2594 i mean it makes sense, these were pretty much the first pistols,
Made in times of Blackpowder guns
The company went on to get changed to Winchester and S&W
Shotgun adapters: "Amateurs..."
You have to test these out of a Rifle.
i am really impressed how good these worked
Is the shortage is making us crazy or turning us into geniuses? Can’t believe it works or that no one ever noticed before.
Necessity is the mother of invention!
See a need, fill a need
The only shortage are the primes, nothing else is in shortage…
@@davidgruen7423 Really? Cause if so, this... doesn't seem like it solves the problem. Certainly makes them more recycleable, so to speak, but not much else.
If they ban ammo and firearms then people will be MAKING them out of homedepot parts, full auto. We could even see new technology or LASER guns. Shit happens when people are denied what they already know and have owned for years. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it type stuff
I have done this very thing before but with bird shot. Almost like a glasser safety slug. They also make great snake shot loads if the " jacket" is prefragmented.
Idk why I enjoy gun videos so much I don’t even own a gun and I don’t really even want to buy one at all but RUclips keeps recommending them and I keep watching
These would confuse a coroner so much.
Awesome Idea
Glad you think so!
I was sold on this concept entirely because of the "PSHEWSHWSHW" mouth effect at 0:29.
A scoped .44, that's the kind of class I've come to expect from Danny. Beautiful gun.
Thanks 👍🏻. 🇺🇸😎
That's really cool, I'm definitely impressed.
This has so many Cave Johnson vibes to it. "We fire the whole bullet! That's 65% more bullet per bullet."
You guys rock!! Thanks for all the things you do!!
Mannyca here on YT did a bunch of these kinds of loadings. Used standard rifle dies and Lee sizer dies. Fully anneal the brass you are going to turn into bullets.
Good comment...I was wondering if that would be hard on the forcing cone and rifling. Annealing should soften it up enough.
who would have thought you could turn a casing into a projectile ?? its genius , this was a very interesting experiment to watch keep up the good work guys!
Glad you enjoyed it
its been done many times before, and its fairly well known to swaging community. please its not genious.. its COPY CAT!!
Just can't wait for more videos from my buddies at Teflonthermos . Exellent job guys! 🙌
Your Patreon donations are not an expense, they are an investment!
Thanks!
No, thank you for keeping interesting and entertaining.
The rather odd and also rather convenient thing about this video is that I got an ad for bulletproof body armor along with it.
That first few seconds of the intro music and camera angles literally had me thinking I accidentally clicked on an old How It’s Made video🤣🤣loved the vid man, would have been cool if this idea worked a bit better, but after all the point of testing is to figure out how good they perform so I’d still call it a success😁
Same
thanks
THAT IS THE STREETHAWK THEME SONG!! An amazing tv show from the 80’s, I watched it as a kid.
That's a cool round. We miss you Danny.❤
I bet these would actually make a pretty awesome hunting round in a lever-action carbine. Cool idea! Makes me want to see someone load some live .40 S&W rounds into .44 Magnum (or .454 Casull for safety?) brass for use in a rifle or Super Redhawk…
