"Sputnik" - Testing Rare Soviet Shotgun Slugs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- There is very little information on the internet regarding these old Soviet shotgun slugs, especially in English. They in fact, pre-date the internet. However, that doesn't mean someone out there can't tell us more about these. I was lucky to get 4 of them, sent from Russia by Lars (with love). I doubt there are any of these in existence in the U.S. so this is a very rare glimpse at these historical slug.
Be sure to check out Lar's channel:

Check out my Facebook page. We sometime will auction off some of the artifacts that we have shot to support the channel:

You did a great job on this video, Matt too for that Matter :) Thank you for linking to my channel!
Thank you Lars!
Fuck yeah Lars, u da man
+TAOFLEDERMAUS When i heard tetris orchestra in the background i started dying XD... Good job on that one!
+Pass Port Everybody is opsessed with tetris! That song is Russian folk, usually played by Red Army
+Viktor Kager One does simply not like tetris
Bullet "Vyatka" is intended for big game hunting - elk, deer, bear, wild boar
Very helpful thanks
Халиль Разиньковпоясни что нужно пояснить
Oh for crying out loud. Its ALWAYS a big game slug xD
Dragon Butt What else would you use a slug for?
funcounting
Stopping vehicles.
When you have unique slugs like this, you should make casts of them so you can test them multiple times.
Dagnabbit! I was just going to suggest that. You beat me to it
well, he could try, but part of the round is the Soviet plastic on the back. So he'd have to cast the projectile, and then cast/3D print the plastic bit, and then attach them.
+Joe Roth or, like he said in the video, just buy the plastic pieces. those are pretty universal. .. I think. I could b wrong though..
He replied to someone else and said he would, but he doesn't have a foundry to do it.
+BioVirulent it's lead, you can basically melt it with matches
Here is a transalated chunk from the instructions for the bullet:
Bullet "Vyatka" is intended for big game hunting - elk, deer, bear, wild boar. It consists of a lead frame and a plastic stabilizer. The body has a teardrop shape, six centering ribs, the inner hole and the central core. Stabiliser consists of a plastic cylinder having a narrow obturating belt . The end of the rod is expandable and this keeps the bullet togethere during its flight.
Bullet "Vyatka" is easy to load and a plastic band provides reliable obturation when firing. "Vyatka's" strength is the increased flight speed, improved flight stability, better accuracy, increased penetration and expansiveness and reduced ricochet.
Bullet can both be loaded into a paper and in plastic shell, cap - "Zhevelo" gunpowder - "Sokol" (falcon). A charge of gunpowder in sub-zero temperatures and plastic obturator for the 12 gauge - 2.3 g, with two cardboard strips total thickness of 3 mm - 2.5 g; at plus temperatures weighed in both cases should be reduced by 0.1 g
Before you load the "Vyatka" cartridges, each bullet should be measured in the widest part, in order to ensure that the bullet passes through the choke. Centring fins are easily rumpled, thus passing through the choke.
Weight of "Vyatka" bullets varies slightly in different batches - from 30 to 35 g for the 12 gauge and 24-26 g for the 16 gauge. This is a significant disadvantage, because bullets may behave differently based on the weight.
thanks! the most most information I have seen so far!
Well, the vest will stop it, but it will cave in your fuckin chest cavity.

Well Jeff, to give you some insight. During the space race, the USSR was a bit too eager to get there first, and they wanted to put a satellite up there to prove it. So wtihout having to build a rocket or any spacecraft, they simply named this the sputnik (in russian meaining satelite" and shot these up into the sky as many times as possible hoping one would get into space.
+Jacob Summer I found in humorous
+Jacob Summer that was comedy gold.
Well it is kinda sad... But still funny
+Fyodor Chernych are you that stupid that you actually thought axe xavier was being serious when he wrote that?
+Jacob Summer I actually found it funny, Last year the ISS was hit by one of these
Need to be careful around them AR-15 Bazookas, they can give you PTSD ya' know.
5.56, not even once
ayy he gets the meme
Some liberal reporter fired an AR and claimed he got "temporary PTSD".
+Anzu Wyliei a reporter fired an AR-15 and claimed that it bruised his shoulder and gave him PTSD... a .223 caliber gun with so little recoil young children can fire it without getting bruised or even drifting off target too bad. He made it sound like he fired a .50 BMG.
EDIT: A .50 BMG without recoil compensation.
gotta be careful with them assault rifle 15's they'll make you imagine some stuff and give you ptsd. best stay with those peacekeepers.
Found something bout that bullet on our russian gun forum :)
Sorry for my english translation:
The Food Program of the USSR for the period until 1990, the task "to ensure in the shortest possible time a steady supply of the population with all types of food " , including meat . Among the main areas of implementation of the Food Program of the USSR one of the most important is the " struggle for economy and thrift , reducing losses and improving the quality of agricultural products ."so that,that bullet was invented because of that
so basically what I think your trying to say is, these were handed out by the U.S.S.R. so people could hunt for large game ensuring everyone had meat?
+Elwood Sherman yes.That bullet was invented to provide people with meat,as they were more effective in hunting.
Because the USSR direction was about making every branch larger (even hunting)
+Elwood Sherman there were 3 or 4 new types of bullets (exept for sputnik and Vyatka).
I'll see if there are any in my garage
That's pretty neat, thanks for sharing.
that is very interesting! The US did something similar for the Inuit in Alaska, since they relied on meat so heavily for sustenance. Though in their case, they got .22s
Tetris theme song in the background
Did you know Tetris was considered state property and the creator never got paid directly for his work?
+williwonti wow no I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I just recognized it from the basshunter song.
The name of the song is Korobeiniki (check out the Red Army Choir version) :D
+Martin Kokošinek you're the first person I've seen that knew this I thought I was the only one
+Martin Kokošinek took the words right out of my mouth, I came here to see your reply!
You should start casting all the odd slugs so you can remake them later if you wanted.
These ones are still sold in russia
Hopefully no one carries a valuable cd behind their vest! Another awesome video Jeff! :D
ayyyyyyyy
What are you doing here? go make some fake stuff accidents :b
Haha, I can't believe I still that that old CD. Thanks for watching guys!

I love the cooperations between channels on YT. Great video as usual!
thank you!
Thanks Tao and crew, and thanks Lars for sending those.
That plate shot was interesting, the slug acted more like it did a plastic flow upon impact.
I don't recall seeing any other slugs do that.
thanks for the nice words!
NIKO! IT'S YOUR COUSIN! WANT TO GO BOWLING?
Oh it's a small world! I'm actually subscribed to Survival Russia for 6 months now. He is a very good person.
Hey. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. The lead plate is always a favorite to witness actual deformations. Everyone loves the monster gummy bear (of course) but... I just loved seeing those pickles go flying about - *THAT* was just marvelous! Thanx very much.
thanks!!
I love these videos. I actually forgot all about this channel. I'm glad I came back.
thanks!
I think what detered the slug from welding to that lead plate was the lead oxide layer which had formed on the slug, you can see this pretty good in the shots you got from the slugs. It acts like a protective coating, which prevents reactions from happening.
It's an old "Vyatka" big-game slugs. They deal a lot of damage, but are known for having a different weight and ballistics for each batch produced. Last time i saw them on sale at around 2002.
I identified them as Vyatka slugs 0:31
The name of it is "Vyatka"
"Why did it come towards us?" The bullet needs time to decelerate and ditch it's energy into the fluid, so the energy density of the interaction will increase towards the rear(That is until either A. the bullet comes to a stop, or B. The bullet exits.). That means the most force when it eventually explodes is at the far end away from you, so it propels the can towards you instead of away.

And of course the Tetris music(I did not read the comments below, so no doubt I am the 100th person to mention this)! Thanks Tao, as always, a very entertaining one!
Hey! Great video and I'm a subscriber of Survival Russia . I enjoy both channels as many others and thank you both.
Nice!
Thanks Lars! And awesome to see space and firearms combined, two of my favorite things in one vid ;).
.29 cents!.......obviously no expense was spared......I'm binging all your old videos this weekend and having a great time.
Very cool slugs he sent you. Quite a bit force behind them. Even with a vest, you definitely don't want to get hit with one of those. I'll be sure to check out the guy's channel. Cheers and nice shooting as always
thanks!
"AR-15 Bazooka" LOL! That's a good one!
Thank you for finding a new channel for me, that i probably would never have stumbled upon myself :)
o that comment you made right before 9:19 about how the shell usually bonds to the lead, that reminded me of something called explosive welding, where you can create new alloys of 2 metals that wouldn't normally be able to be alloyed. i'd love to see a youtuber that does that (subtle eh? :P)
afterthought: it's usually done with extremely powerful plastic explosives though, so might not be the best idea :P
Finally something to watch besides test tubes.thanks for this. maybe shoot test tubes
I love that they are your typical American. But are super unbiased and love all rounds and firearms
The line of truth was very kind today haha. Perfect music choice too.
Many viewers hate the truth. They'd rather call the shooter names. lol Thanks for shooting Matt!
an hour later I am finally back to watch this video...interesting channel.
thanks!
As far as I know, Russian shotgun slugs are all pretty much intended for large game or boar or as a precautionary measurement for running into a bear while hunting something else. My guess for that slug not welding itself into the led plate is that pure lead is a sort of lubricate in itself. Hardening the lead mixing it for an example with antimon propably decreases the lubricative features of the metal. But then again, this is just an enlightened guess :) Thanks for the video guys! As a pump shotgun owner, building a Remington 870 Supermagnum to work both as a waterfowl- and a boar gun with just changing the barrel and putting a quick attach red dot, these videos offer me a ton of interesting info about shooting slugs and their ballistic behaviour both in flight and terminal.
so let me get this straight. These sputnik rounds were designed and distributed so grandma babushka can have meat on the table without having to wait in line to get what probably isn't in the store? The USSR sounds a whole lot different than I heard when I was a kid.
"Shotguns in Siberia" vs. "handguns in Moscow". Still a bit surprising.
+RonJohn63 love your avitar Dr Strangelove
you didn't wait in line at the store to buy meat... you waited in line to get your ration ... as everyone was 'equal', everyone ate the same.. they got their daily amount and that was it... while those higher up got fine Italian cured meats .. peasants and office workers alike got the same crude protein ... setting prices in a store would mean that premium items would arise.. and if anyone had anything "premium" than that would be non-equal.. and in "paradise" everyone is equal ... their is no jealousy, there is no envy, there is no crime whatsoever .. (you can see why it failed and why china is no longer a communist state.. rather an autocratic monarchy of sorts.. communism doesn't work.. outside of mindless robots anyways.. )
+Phil Verhey That's not how Communism works.
Of course the USSR sounds much different than what was said once in the west. It just good politics to smear your enemies, making it out that there is nothing good about them.
That being said, the USSR wasn't some grand experiment and noble country. It did an evil thing for every good thing, if not more so. It doesn't mean it was entirely wrong, but it certainly wasn't entirely correct. I certainly wouldn't have been able to live there. Then again, I wouldn't be able to live in the States either.
HAHAHH!!! LARS!!!! I follow him on social media and watch all his vids!! AWESOME AWESOME CHANNEL!!!!
because of the roughly spherical shape my guess would be hunting. maybe they could be military issue hunting rounds for survival during war time, as rationed supplies would only go so far. There is no way to identify them as military slugs other than asking someone who served back then, this is just my guess.
You guys should make molds for these type of rounds. Their odd, in this case historic, and people would probably pay good money for newly made slugs or just the molds themselves.
This is why I subscribed years ago. Blowing shit up with random projectiles. What more you want? lol
thanks!
I laughed so hard when all those pickles spread so nicely on the ground. :)
Haha, my it looks like my 3d nuke slug :)
Totally!
In Soviet Russia gun laws were very strict, that slug was most likely for hunting, since the main military weapon was an AK, and the shotgun ammo was most likely a spread, since they needed effectivity, as in take one shot and 7 enemies down.
Isn't that a Russian folk song playing as background music?
its called Korabushka.
Some people comment before reading previous comments. Simple as that.
It's the song from Tetris
*****
Welcome to RUclips. Don't get too worried about it.
The song at the beginning is called Russian Winter
Hello! I'm from Russia. This bullet is called "Vyatka". With these bullets we hunt moose and bears.
I DID call them Vyatka at 0:32
Lars uses a 12-ga AK, which has a rifled choke, so I'd reckon that would be a good place to start.
I love that ar15 bazooka reference. I hope he didnt get ptsd
Not to be America-centric, but those projectiles remind me of the "Fatman" (nuke).
I like the classy tetris theme playing in the background.
A very interesting design with the tail fin stabilizers.
Ask for some more and maybe file the fins off to make a round ball. I bet it would be one hell of a knuckle ball affect.
heins really makes everything don't they?
i like the pickle flavoured condoms
Hey Jeff, would you be able to do a comparison between having a full vest strapped onto your target dummy versus just having a piece of Kevlar taped to its chest. I have a feeling there would be significantly less material damage with the vest properly held in place.
Yeah but... that CD was empty anyway.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing.
thank you for the nice words!
I think the slug was a type of testing to see what it would be like to shoot a fin stabilised round from a hand held gun, just by looking at it, I'm probably waaaaaay off
Is that a stain boy tattoo on Matt's arm!? ^o^ if so that's awesome!
Every shooter Geoff finds has the coolest tattoos
Nick's friend has a cool Spock tattoo on his calf. lol I need to show that .
Hi Jeff! Wow strange behaviour from the last slug you tested. As for me, I've always shot them no problem, clean holes at 50 meters in the paper, with a proper fast charge. Be sure to test them in a fully smoothbore/no choke, as I seem to see a mangled wad behind it.
russian guy here, these slugs are still being sold, they are used for hunting big game like wild pigs and bears.
Thanks! What are they called?
+TAOFLEDERMAUS a cyka blyat cheeki breeki
+MaxC350 Ah nu cheeki breeki iv damke!
Nice reference to the guy who got "ptsd" from a Ar15
Despite it being a dummy your shooting at, you still see the pain in its face! :D
"Sputnik"(Спутник) is a round bullet with special shoulder to go through full choke. This bullet is Vyatka (Вятка - a small town in Russia). This bullet is still produced by a number of firms in Russia, it is still popular among hunters because it is one of the cheapest. Slugs are popular in Russia because there are some law limitations on rifled barrel weapons. All this Russian bullets, that you test are for civil hunting use, this stuff is not military
3:30 Yes. That is the 'Tetris Theme'. But before it was, it was a Russian Folk Song. So yeah.
These were part of an experimental Soviet space program where they wanted to test the aerodynamics of the Sputnik. So they would shoot these slugs into the air until they left the atmosphere. The idea being only the most aerodynamic shape would b capable of this.
Very impressive slug. Lots of stopping power.
when the slug hits the led ingot. u can see the spark
“Slugnic” the Russian 12 gauge slug-shuttle
Just a suggestion; you could have perhaps applied some sort of lacquer or varnish to one or two of the slugs to negate some of the chips and blemishes. That way, you could have shot 2 of them in their original state and compared their flight patterns to the ones you had 'smoothed up' as it were. This is something I suggest you do with any physically compromised mystery slugs you get in the future.
Characteristics of a bullet for hunting "Vyatka" (Вятка), author G.G. Vorobiev.
Purpose - large hunting objects in the form of a bear, elk, big boar and the like.
The material is lead.
Two components:
the bullet itself is drop-shaped, reminiscent of an air bomb, with six ribs that center the bullet in flight. Inside the hole and the central rod for attaching the stabilizer;
a stabilizer made of polyethylene, which is rigidly attached to the tail of the bullet and does not separate from it during its flight.
The stabilizer does not function as a wad of the obturator, which makes it unacceptable to mount the bullet directly on the powder or powder gasket. Installation of a wad is required. Felt is recommended in the literature.
Normally loaded, this bullet gives good accuracy and expansiveness (stopping action).
An example of the equipment of this bullet: a cardboard powder gasket is placed on the gunpowder, then two felt wads cut into 4 parts, on top of them Vyatka and the twist of the sleeve of the sleeve follows. Gunpowder is used in a variety of ways, from the traditional and common Falcon to more modern ones. The capsule is matched to the gunpowder. If Sokol, then this is Zhevelo, 209, CX-2000, etc.
The bullet is caliber, it definitely goes half way, the use with stronger muzzle constrictions (choke - 1 mm) is not recommended due to the large deformation of the bullet and the threat of a strong increase in pressure in the bore.
Acceptable accuracy is provided at distances up to 50 meters. For shooting at large ones, other bullets are needed, for example, Poleva (produced by the same manufacturer) and which has no equal in this.
The disadvantage is the tendency to ricochet (however, like any arrow-type bullet).
Produced by - KZORS (Kirov factory of hunting and fishing equipment). He is the patentee for this model and the only manufacturer. Produced since 1975.

You're currency conversion is off. A kopek may have been 1/100th of a ruble but one ruble never equalled a dollar by a long shot. Great video other than that.
I think he meant it as like their ruble is like our "dollar" so 100 kopeks equal one ruble..so to them it was like 11 "cents"
Yeah, glad someone got it!
Yea the earth is like the moon but not. I should have looked up the historical and current exchange rates. Obviously my statement didn't penetrate. Let me give you an (example). If 70 rubles equalled a dollar and it takes 100 kopeks to make a ruble then 11 kopeks can not equal 11 cents. Now do you understand?
+Barry Allen your looking too much into it man lol I understand what you are saying.. And I agree with what you are saying, but he was just figuratively comparing them because not everyone knows what a kopek is..
***** Let him think he found a major error so he can sleep tonight. He never would have commented otherwise.
The song at the beginning is called Russian Winter
This video gave me a temporary form of PTSD. Made me anxious and irritable for hours after watching it.
Boris and Natasha touch...perfect! That is coming from some one born in USSR!
Haha, thanks!
I'm guessing that the reason they didn't fly especially straight was due to the old plastic boost thingies. Old plastic gets brittle, so I'm thinking they broke unevenly as the gun was fired, resulting in uneven force. Due to their shape, it's possible that this caused the lead fins to deform against the inside of the barrel, meaning the slug was slightly off axis as it exited the barrel. Also, the way the back of the slug is tapered may have caused some interesting turbulence as gasses escaped around it right as it exited the barrel. Would that slug be subsonic?
I bet he had PTSD for about an hour
I had to put him in a Thunder Shirt to calm him back down.
why do i feel like you guys live in central California haha, the back grounds look so familiar to some of the places i have traveled by on my way to work haha
The slug is called the zodka. It's made by Putin's bears and it can fly over 2km/h. It was often used to show the puny Americans that Russia is the best country during mammoth hunting competitions.
those Sputnik slugs are awesome
I think the reason the LED slug did not well it's up to the other slug is because there was a different metal in either one
"Brenneke" rifled slugs were/are used against boar in central europe. Guns used for that kind of shooting tended often to be doubles with a small bore rifle barrel also, commonly below the midpoint of the twin shotgun barrels. The latter was to finish off the shot boar with a head shot from close quarters if the slug didn't kill it outright. These guns are called "drillings". I'm sure you know what the Brenneke was so won't add comment on what those are like (were like? - don't know if they're still in use or not.)
Maybe these are a russian version of the Brenneke? I've not seen these before, either in practice or indeed in ballastics books. Possibly used in the home market against either bear for defence or boar as above? The tumbling could be down to your ballistics not suiting the aerodynamics requirements of the slugs - ie if you're pushing to be past sonic speed could be that induced the irregularities? Worthwhile experiementing with lower velocities - the impact delivery would still be suffiicient to maim/kill these large tough animals.
He may not have hit center on the pickles but the still blew up
I swear, I hear tetris in the background...
Should have made a cast of it before shooting so you could remake them if needed.

Imagine Buzz Lightyear saying, "Pickles... Pickles everywhere!"
lol!
This type of bullets are mainly used for hunting on big animals like moose and bears. I don't think, they ever been used by military, as USSR always used AK like weapons everywhere, as it was cheaper and easier to use and learn. It also was cheaper as factories only had to produce the same type of bullets for rifles, SMGs (AKSU) and machine guns (RPK) and also for hunters (Saiga)
a lot of information about the bullets on the Internet.
Предназначена для охоты на крупного зверя - лося, оленя, медведя,
кабана. Состоит из свинцового корпуса и полиэтиленового стабилизатора. Корпус пули имеет каплеобразную форму, 6 центрирующих ребер, внутреннее отверстие и центральный стержень. Полиэтиленовый стабилизатор состоит из цилиндра с узким обтюрирующим пояском. Конец стержня развальцовывается и этим обеспечивается неразъемность элементов пули во время ее полета.
Пулей "Вятка" удобно, просто снаряжать патроны; полиэтиленовый поясок обеспечивает надежную обтюрацию при выстреле. Преимущества пули "Вятка" -это повышенная скорость полета, лучшая устойчивость полета, лучшая кучность боя, повышенная пробивная способность и экспансивность, уменьшенная способность к рикошетированию.
Снаряжаться может как в бумажную, так и в пластмассовую гильзу, капсюль - "Жевело", порох -"Сокол" (рис. 59). Навеска пороха при минусовых температурах и пластмассовом обтюраторе для 12-го калибра - 2.3 г, при двух картонных прокладках общей толщиной 3 мм - 2.5 г; при плюсовых температурах навеску в обоих вариантах надо уменьшить на 0.1 г. На обтюратор или прокладки досылается два войлочных пыжа (нижний - осаленный), разрезанных почти до конца на 4 части. Затем досылают пулю и гильзу завальцовывают. Головка пули "Вятка" не должна выходить за верхний срез гильзы до ее завальцовки. Конечно, прежде чем снаряжать патроны "Вяткой", корпус каждой пули необходимо промерить в самой широкой части с тем, чтобы убедиться, что тело пули свободно проходит через дульное сужение.
Центрирующие же ребра легко сминаются, проходя через чок. К сожалению, вес пуль "Вятка" в различных партиях различен - от 30 до 35 г для 12-го калибра и 24-26 г для 16-го калибра. Это существенный недостаток, поскольку для новой партии пуль приходится заново пристреливать ружье.
Снаряжая патроны пулей "Вятка", надо помнить, что досылать эту пулю непосредственно на порох опасно: кучность
при этом, правда, возрастает, но зато до опасных размеров подскакивает давление, и увеличивается деформация пуль. Поэтому необходимо всегда устанавливать между пулей и порохом пыж.
Некоторые охотники ошибочно устанавливают пулю непосредственно на порох.
При таком снаряжении юбка обтюратора, прижатая большим давлением пороховых газов к стенкам гильзы, почти полностью отрывается от хвостовика, а прорвавшиеся в головную часть пули раскаленные пороховые газы прожигают в ней порядочную дыру, заодно выплавляя стержень, на который надевается обтюратор.
It's considered riot control non-lethal(for the shooter) slug in Soviet Russia.
And also, for comparing.Pack of matches cost 1c.
That slug almost looks like a James shell!
whoa, these soviet slugs are brutal...
Those were interesting slugs. I would have been tempted to make a mold of one so more could be cast.
fun fact tetris was invented in soviet russia
Yes, we know. (And have for 30 years.) That's why the Tetris theme is Russian folk music.
in soviet Russia Tetris plays you
I'd be really interested to see if the damage done was changed by putting a proper vest on the dummy. Would it's resistance to wadding up change the effects of the impact noticeably?
RE: "why'd it come towards us" .. two reasons.. but 1 WAY MORE than the other ... (minor) reason 1. whenever you shoot anything that's filled with a large amount of liquid, the target gets propulsed (yes that's a word) forwards towards the shooter as the back opens up larger than the entry hole and contents exit... remember "for every reaction, there must be an equal and opposite reaction.. in this case, the mass & energy exiting the target equals MORE than that IMPARTING(not entering) the object....(this makes things like oranges take lil hops forwards when you shoot them with a .22lr/s/wmr.. etc) ... and for REASON 2 . the MAJOR reason.. the can split at the bottom and grew 2 'feet' and jumped like a frog forwards .. it's easily seen in the video .. :) .. question answered. ... EDIT: reason 1 is why the jusg ( I just unpaused it) shot off to the right.. as all that fluid exits the side... it propulses the jug to the side.. for every action there is..... :)
You should make casts whenever you get these rare slugs, so they can be replicated later..
look at boris' face at the first shot kinda looks like "the fuck just hit me"
i dont know anything about the slug it self but i would guess it was used for Wild boars or bears
Yes, those are certainly Russian slugs. My father had a shotgun lying in the garage when I was a child. He had a terrible temper, and when he was angry he liked to break things. Someone had thrown out a broken dishwasher and left it in the alley behind my house, and my father dragged it into our backyard. When angry, he would load up his shotgun and shoot holes through the dishwasher to satisfy his destructive urges without causing any real harm. He used to keep boxes full of ammunition that look identical to these "Sputnik" slugs you have here in the video.
Those was never for military those slugs are for big game hunting
