I want to see the Slow Mo guys record a 4 BORE going through ballistics. The Elephant rifle was insane, but watching that round point tear through the ballistics gel like butter makes me super interested in what is exactly happening.
I think the shot path stayed straight due to the other blocks holding the center in place. Usually, when you shoot single line blocks, they start moving before the projectile is fully through. Cool to see!
@joeporinchak6013 LEAD vs STEAL= big splatter + dent. Bigger bullet = bigger dent. Some lead bullets move fast enough to penetrate Steel. Higher grade steel = less deformation
Man this was a fun one that 4 bore is insane. So glad you are still with us and stronger than ever Scott. If I tried to shoulder that my 95lb frame would be snapped in two. And my shoulder would be in the next state.
i have a theory about the bullet staying straight. as we have seen from the slow mos, the ballistic gel itself goes rather ballistic when hit with high power rounds. so it may be that as the bullets slow down in the gel, the shockwaves inside the gel catch up and start tossing the bullet around with it. but when you packed other blocks around it, it held the middle ones more in shape. so you didn't go through all that effort for nothing after all. so here's an idea - weld a huge reinforced U-beam that fits the ballistic gel blocks snugly inside, one side open to relieve the pressure and allow filming. perhaps sub-block size holes on the other sides as well for extra pressure relief and extra light. you'd lose some of the magnificent wobble but may get better penetration and clearer view of bullet travel in gel on slow mos.
I think it has something to do with how fast a round is going and the shape. A 5.56 round for example hits something so fast it starts to tear apart and the pointy tip causes it to go all wonky. With the mass of the 4 bore and the shape plus what you’re saying with all the support on those center blocks it just drives it straight. I’d love to see him shoot the gel wall with a .50 bmg and see if it has similar results.
@@RealMTBAddict 22 is arguably one of the most important rounds because it's perfect for new shooters. Most people wouldn't have shot a gun at the age of 5 if it wasn't for the 22. It's also my favorite round for small game so I have respect for it.

One of the reasons it's going so straight is because you have weight on top of those blocks and when there is no weight on top of them, the blocks themselves get squirrely and jump around and that causes the projectile to deflect. So that is my hypothesis. 😊
@@patheddles4004 yes true and additionally that rifle has so much power to push that projectile straight through that doesn't hurt any. You can see fire still crackling deep inside those wound channels✨✨✨

The multiple fireballs within the gel on the round nose was interesting. Maybe the rapid collapse of the gell generated enough heat through adiabatic compression to ignite some of the leftover in unburned powder. Awesome video man, and you're hilarious lol! Maybe shoot 76 inches of Furbies with the 4 bore next!
I'm pretty sure that a chunk of that had to do with the blocks around the center keeping them from being able to move as the bullet was traveling in it. The rest of it I would say is due to the weight of the bullet.
The insane recoil and how it can shove around such a big guy like Scott is just nuts! 200 ft/lbs of recoil? A .458 Lott is less than half of that and most people won't shoot one more than once or twice because it just plain hurts. I can't even imagine the pain of shooting this gun. I appreciate Scott for doing this though because it sure is fun to watch!
So with the 4-Bore are we ready to classify Scott as a new type of battleship? Amazing video as always, I was also surprised the rounds flew so straight.
Could you imagine what it'd be capable of with a solid brass penetrator round? Also, you should definitely shoot it at a steel plate. Just to see what all that mass would do. Or bricks.
I bet part of the reason it shot straight through the blocks is because there were other blocks around the blocks it hit. Part of the deviation is likely due to the block jumping. So in the future I bet you could get better results if you put cinder blocks on top of the ballistic gel blocks.
This is a good point and would probably help, but some bullets are just going to deviate regardless due to their shape and balance, Russian 5.45 is one that just goes crazy every time.
Thats not actually how that works at all. Heavy, slower projectiles especially for caliber go straight. Speed them up n they deviate, rapid deceleration. By the time a block moves or jumps the projectile is long gone.
@@-Zevin- Moment of Inertia and Conservation of Angular Momentum. 4 bore rifles are big heavy and moving slowly (respective). It takes a lot more force to alter the moment of inertia because of the weight, and since that much weight is spinning, conservation of angular momentum adds to the force require to alter the path. When you have a light bullet travelling very fast, the moment of inertia is far less and conservation of angular momentum is drastically different upon any sudden speed differential. Weight balance plays a big role in this as well. Short, fat heavy projectiles require more to alter the path. This is exactly the same principal that causes .45 ACP, or any unbalanced projectile to keyhole at distance, the front half of the round has a different moment of inertia than the rear of the round. Conservation of this angular momentum causes it to wobble. This is why spherical rounds/shot don't keyhole or even wobble, they are always balanced.
@@TheeGlocktopusYour “knowledge” of momentum conservation is so flawed that you did not even understand what you were reading when you looked it up on Google. Your application of moment of inertia is similarly lacking of the fundamental principle.
I routinely shoot .45-70, but I have a .35 Whelen I'm still terrified of. I fired two rounds and was fairly certain there was blood in the upper lobe of my right lung. That single box of ammo still has 18 rounds in it. Only Scott is capable of firing the 4 Bore multiple times in succession, and without a hint of a flinch 😏
SloMo guys are gonna love the cavitational ignition of the 4 bore. As for targets; 1. V 8 engine block 2. V10 engine ( ford made these) 3. Old v12 deteoit diesel engine. 4. Old pick up truck, front to rear
@@thePavuk You lack creativity. How big would the crater be on the side of a tank? How much damage would it do to an engine? I know it won't go through any major serious armour plating, but if that's the case, why are there videos of safes being shot at by .50 bmg out there?
@@noteden3446 There's still a heap of energy being dumped, though. Yes, I'm aware that a .50 and 4 bore are very different in composition, but on the other hand, you're just trying to sound smart on the internet, when we're just here to watch things get shot at.
Ballistic gel mutilation at its finest form. Seeing that massive amount of energy transferred to the gel was incredible! One inch bore. Four ounces of lead. Simple and reliable falling-block action. Enough stopping power to retrograde a rhinoceros, and marginally impair Scott's shoulder. What's not to love, here?
I slowed down the slomo on the explosions inside the Ballistics gel. I think there was four separate shock explosions! That’s definitely a first ever on video!! Good job Scott!
It's called "sonoluminescence." As the bullet strikes the target it creates a gap of air inside of the gelatin. We often refer to this as the temporary cavity. Before the block collapses down to its original shape, the air is low pressure and low temperature. Sometimes these air bubbles can become trapped when their escape route to the atmosphere is cut off by collapsing gelatin. In this case the collapsing gelatin compresses the air driving the pressure and temperature up almost instantly. If this occurs violently enough the air can reach temperatures in excess of 7500F. This causes the molecules to emit a burst of light. It's very quick, happens in as little as 35 trillionths of a second, but a video camera can see it.
I love what ballistic gel teaches us about projectile velocity and force. Plus, it looks cool-AF. It's amazing to me to see such a high mass flat round travel as consistently as the 4 bore. This series of videos is definitely great fun! I think it's time for the bowling ball/glass ball test!
Great job, Scott. Keep the gel carnage coming. Next 4 Bore shot should be at a 50 gallon barrel of Nacho Cheese and get Matt, Doughnut, Brandon and Mr. Thumb to shoot it with you and show them who the man is. Thanks for all the top notch entertainment you provided us.

Romans 6:23 John 3:16❤😊❤❤
I'm very impressed with how you placed ballistic gel. I was fully expecting the table even with the cinder blocks under it to fall over and you would have to pick up all that gel. Well done.
I think the reason why it didn't deviate out the top or the side is because the blocks had compression on both sides making it ridged and less likely to create the ripple effect or at least diminish it enough to keep the bullet flying straight and true. If I was you I would have did a single stack to see if it does it again without the support. I was honestly hoping that you would touch on the entry wound a little more. lol! Awesome video Scott! You sure to enjoy riding the lighting.
@@a64738Somnoluminesence is a good theory, but it's not actually what's happening. That type of ballistics gel is partially hydrocarbon solvent based, and it's dieseling. Like an actual diesel engine piston, or like the same effect in a spring-piston airgun when it has enough lightweight oil or flammable solvent in the piston. The passing bullet vaporizes some of the volatile hydrocarbons in the gel through friction, and the low pressure partial vacuum from the temporary expanding wound channel draws out some more. Then as the elastic block shrinks back into shape, the vapor is compressed and ignites creating a visible flash of flame, and a bit of double-expansion rebound as the heat & energy release from the combustion tries to expand one more time. Pure gelatin ballistic test blocks won't do it, as there's nothing flammable in their ingredients. The dieseling effect in the hydrocarbon ballistics gel can confuse or obscure high-speed camera footage that's trying to guage the effects of a bullet's terminal effects because of the flame flash and double-bounce of the dieseling. And smoke or soot escaping from entrance and exit holes, and possibly a bit of carbon soot residue making the permanent wound channel a bit dirty sometimes. Although the residential soot if there's enough may actually highlight the permanent wound channel and bullet track better. Despite those issues, the hydrocarbon gel is better or more convenient than gelatine in most all other respects. It's much clearer to see through, gelatin blocks of the needed size and with the right ratio of gelatine to water, much more than food-JELL-O, tend to be rather cloudy and yellow/brown-ish. And they don't stand up well to hot sun or summer heat. So they can melt or lose consistency if not kept in a cooler or set up and used quickly. And they don't have the diseling flame/flash which is hella-cool.
You should maybe also just try 6 single gel blocks end to end to see if it really is the round that travels that straight. My theory is that the middle row of gel is kept from deforming too much by the surrounding blocks, and this is what prevents the round from being able to deviate in other directions. It can be a short video. 😉
Scott, I first started watching your videos when I saw your first 4 Bore video pop up on my recommended feed (probably because I had started watching Brandon Herrera a bit before then) and even though I started by watching you shoot your biggest gun, I have since gone back and watched a TON of your older videos and loved every single one of them. Seeing how you're still going strong 2 years (more or less) since your accident, it's extremely inspiring. As a fellow man of faith, I just wanted to say god bless you man and keep it up!
Scott thank you for your effort setting up those gel blocks for each shot 6:44 always makes me laugh Loved the episode, even tho we didnt get watermelon time.....
Scott, That 4 Bore is beyond unbelievable, but what would the wound channel look like with a hollow point round ( do they even make a hollow point round for this monster?) Would the wound channel extend into the adjacent blocks? God Bless and keep bringing us this superb content.
This seems like the kind of gun you buy a few rounds for and then keep reloading it to keep costs down and probably also cast your own bullets so you could make a mold for a hollow point bullet pretty easy.
I'd be interested to see Scott do a few longer shots and address the ballistics of larger rounds. What effect does wind, fiction, gravity, etc have on the rounds? How much energy does it deliver at a longer distance?
I’m no expert, but I think part of the reason why the bullet stayed true was because of all the excess ballistic gel surrounding it. It pretty evenly applied more weight, and therefore resistance, on all sides of the center target and discouraged bullet deviation
The 4 Bore is my favorite rifle ever! What should I blast next ?!? I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

I think the shot path stayed straight due to the other blocks holding the center in place. Usually, when you shoot single line blocks, they start moving before the projectile is fully through. Cool to see!
Seems pretty logical, now that you mention it.
This is exactly what I thought. Not wasted effort, but the effect having blocks on ALL sides of the impacted blocks probably did the trick.
Great shout! You see the surrounding blocks disperse the impact keeping the other blocks stable.
not much velocity helps alot to
Being a round nose helps. This is why dangerous game rounds that rely on penetration are all round nose. They don’t yaw like pointed bullets..
I think the extra blocks helped keep the center blocks from deforming, hence the nice straight entry path.
My thoughts exactly. And said better than I could.
I'll second that
and the physics says.... correct!
Definately, Im sure the round nose helped compared to a spitzer.

That’s what I was thinking. I was going to comment similar. The weight of all the gel around it was needed to keep it strait
Putting a black backing would be beneficial for filming
That's a great observation about the gel and I wonder how long it would take to build something like that
That, plus, in this case, the mass of the bullet would make it pretty impossible for the low mass gel to push it off course.

The insane recoil and how it can shove around such a big guy like Scott is just nuts! 200 ft/lbs of recoil? A .458 Lott is less than half of that and most people won't shoot one more than once or twice because it just plain hurts. I can't even imagine the pain of shooting this gun. I appreciate Scott for doing this though because it sure is fun to watch!
I'd hope he's fully healed from his accident because this could surely reopen his wounds if he wasnt
Hence why he only fired it twice. WOW!
Not foot pounds, just pounds.
09:20 okay wow, I didnt expect that!
So with the 4-Bore are we ready to classify Scott as a new type of battleship? Amazing video as always, I was also surprised the rounds flew so straight.
I don’t think he’d float very well. He’s more a mobile artillery piece
@@Maxsmack Y E S
Could you imagine what it'd be capable of with a solid brass penetrator round? Also, you should definitely shoot it at a steel plate. Just to see what all that mass would do. Or bricks.
In his first video of the 4 bore. He shot a steel plate and it broke the 2x4 wood it was bolted onto in half.
Tungsten would be better than brass for penetration. However it would need to be some kind of alloy as tungsten in its natural form is quite brittle
Imagine that round bouncing off and hitting you😂
@@Maxsmack Tungsten carbide. Though the bullet would be like 3,000 grains lol.
Shoulder mounted ied
I bet part of the reason it shot straight through the blocks is because there were other blocks around the blocks it hit. Part of the deviation is likely due to the block jumping. So in the future I bet you could get better results if you put cinder blocks on top of the ballistic gel blocks.
This is a good point and would probably help, but some bullets are just going to deviate regardless due to their shape and balance, Russian 5.45 is one that just goes crazy every time.
Thats not actually how that works at all.
Heavy, slower projectiles especially for caliber go straight. Speed them up n they deviate, rapid deceleration.
By the time a block moves or jumps the projectile is long gone.
@@-Zevin- Moment of Inertia and Conservation of Angular Momentum. 4 bore rifles are big heavy and moving slowly (respective). It takes a lot more force to alter the moment of inertia because of the weight, and since that much weight is spinning, conservation of angular momentum adds to the force require to alter the path. When you have a light bullet travelling very fast, the moment of inertia is far less and conservation of angular momentum is drastically different upon any sudden speed differential. Weight balance plays a big role in this as well. Short, fat heavy projectiles require more to alter the path. This is exactly the same principal that causes .45 ACP, or any unbalanced projectile to keyhole at distance, the front half of the round has a different moment of inertia than the rear of the round. Conservation of this angular momentum causes it to wobble. This is why spherical rounds/shot don't keyhole or even wobble, they are always balanced.
@@TheeGlocktopusman broke out the physics textbook
@@TheeGlocktopusYour “knowledge” of momentum conservation is so flawed that you did not even understand what you were reading when you looked it up on Google. Your application of moment of inertia is similarly lacking of the fundamental principle.
Man, I love your video editing. It's such great humor. You're doing awesome job.
so you're telling me they keep getting bigger?? You never stop surprising us Scott!
The 2 Bore is bigger.
I just suggested a cannon for his next episode. And I just now saw your comment, LOL.
We need Anzio 20mm
0:40 "lets wreck my shoulder" followed by Scott's shoulder surviving that knockback is such a beautiful shot
he took an exploded rifle to the neck and survived what else do you expect of such a tank of a man?
I routinely shoot .45-70, but I have a .35 Whelen I'm still terrified of. I fired two rounds and was fairly certain there was blood in the upper lobe of my right lung. That single box of ammo still has 18 rounds in it. Only Scott is capable of firing the 4 Bore multiple times in succession, and without a hint of a flinch 😏
I appreciate that Scott puts so much effort into putting off shooting the 4 bore with anything he possibly can
Very entertaining, this is the only shooting channel I watch. Which confuses the heck out of the RUclips algorithm, lol
Love the 4 bore rifle videos... What a beast of a firearm. Thank you for sacrificing your shoulder to make these videos.
Seeing the slowmo of the recoil is pretty impressive. That's one badass rifle😁👍👍
Wow that 4 bore is impressive.Wonder how many engine blocks it would go through.
Probably just one, the lead would deform rapidly
@@evann1136yeah but imagine like a brass solid
Maybe the lead bullet will go through an aluminum block, but I agree someone needs to make a full brass for more.
At least 2 barbie car engine blocks. I guarantee it, i stand by it.
Shot from 30 yards, not 6 inches away, so as to be more of a real world test.
SloMo guys are gonna love the cavitational ignition of the 4 bore.
As for targets;
1. V 8 engine block
2. V10 engine ( ford made these)
3. Old v12 deteoit diesel engine.
4. Old pick up truck, front to rear
That second shot....the Slow-MO, was Absolutely Spectacular!!!
Giving it some thought, if you have any spare engine blocks, I'd love to see if the 4 bore can go all the way through one.. or two, maybe multiple 😂
Or a block of i can't believe it's not butter.
@@user-qx8vg1ej7e It'd definitely go through a cow carcass 🤣
I'd love to see what the 4 bore would do to an engine block, and even the armour plating of a tank.
It's just lead. It gonna vaporise on impact on hard metal.
@@thePavuk You lack creativity. How big would the crater be on the side of a tank? How much damage would it do to an engine?
I know it won't go through any major serious armour plating, but if that's the case, why are there videos of safes being shot at by .50 bmg out there?
@@Rhidongo because 50bmg isn't made of just soft lead, this is.
@@noteden3446 There's still a heap of energy being dumped, though. Yes, I'm aware that a .50 and 4 bore are very different in composition, but on the other hand, you're just trying to sound smart on the internet, when we're just here to watch things get shot at.
@Rhidongo the lead from the 4 bore would flatten on impact and Immediately either completely fall apart or just fall to the ground
0:52 had to rewind it to here to match Scott’s energy when doing the hand movements, geez Scott! 😂
Ballistic gel mutilation at its finest form. Seeing that massive amount of energy transferred to the gel was incredible! One inch bore. Four ounces of lead. Simple and reliable falling-block action. Enough stopping power to retrograde a rhinoceros, and marginally impair Scott's shoulder. What's not to love, here?
Can't wait to see the Slow Mo Guys collab with the 4 Bore! That first-block wound channel must have some INSANE stuff going on!
I slowed down the slomo on the explosions inside the Ballistics gel. I think there was four separate shock explosions! That’s definitely a first ever on video!! Good job Scott!
Shock explosion? I couldn't tell what that was - didn't think it could be left over gas, so mebbe sun reflection?
I think it was unburnt powder igniting
It's called "sonoluminescence." As the bullet strikes the target it creates a gap of air inside of the gelatin. We often refer to this as the temporary cavity. Before the block collapses down to its original shape, the air is low pressure and low temperature. Sometimes these air bubbles can become trapped when their escape route to the atmosphere is cut off by collapsing gelatin. In this case the collapsing gelatin compresses the air driving the pressure and temperature up almost instantly. If this occurs violently enough the air can reach temperatures in excess of 7500F. This causes the molecules to emit a burst of light. It's very quick, happens in as little as 35 trillionths of a second, but a video camera can see it.
@@edwardlance2379 exactly what I thought. it is like a little compression combustion effect, reminds me of collapsing subs....0.o
@@edwardlance2379 Thanks brother-don't think I've ever seen that before. Does this happen w/ .50BMG/.416 other VFB (Very Fast Beans)?
The round nose spinning is like a small planet through space.
I like the “Lightning Bolts” as the round passes through the gel. Awesome job Scott.
I love what ballistic gel teaches us about projectile velocity and force. Plus, it looks cool-AF. It's amazing to me to see such a high mass flat round travel as consistently as the 4 bore. This series of videos is definitely great fun! I think it's time for the bowling ball/glass ball test!
I like how your videos are family friendly but they are very funny and educational. Thank you for being an awesome RUclipsr!
Hi Scott only just recently came across your channel watching from the UK so I'm on catch up love your humour keep it up 😂
Great job, Scott. Keep the gel carnage coming.
Next 4 Bore shot should be at a 50 gallon barrel of Nacho Cheese and get Matt, Doughnut, Brandon and Mr. Thumb to shoot it with you and show them who the man is. Thanks for all the top notch entertainment you provided us.
Man, I’m just really happy that your still making videos for us and made a full recovery after the incident.
We don't speak of the dark times.
Absolutely. The Internet would be a lot more boring without Scott playing with explosives and making Poupon jokes.
I love how you compared a .22 lr to a 4 bore saying it was a .50 BMG. Both very large calibers, but .22 is slightly bigger.
I heard the fearsome .22 could vaporize an otherwise healthy man's spine.
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.
Romans 6:23
John 3:16❤😊❤❤
11:04 Can confirm that when there is someone with a “large gun” people around them tend to get squirrelly and not stay perfectly straight
Underrated joke
I can remember the first video Scott ever posted, I’m happy to see how far he has come. I love the new content, keep up the good work brother. ✊🏽💪🏽
I'm very impressed with how you placed ballistic gel. I was fully expecting the table even with the cinder blocks under it to fall over and you would have to pick up all that gel. Well done.
The 50 BMG round comparison was hilarious!😂
Lol Cody,
I THOUGHT there was something strange about that *"50 cal"* alright!
He’s also keeping the table market alive 😂😂
9:11 might be the most amazing footage ever. That’s insane.
I think the reason why it didn't deviate out the top or the side is because the blocks had compression on both sides making it ridged and less likely to create the ripple effect or at least diminish it enough to keep the bullet flying straight and true. If I was you I would have did a single stack to see if it does it again without the support.
I was honestly hoping that you would touch on the entry wound a little more. lol! Awesome video Scott! You sure to enjoy riding the lighting.
9:57 Gotta love the "entrance hole"😆
From entrance hole to the certain part of hole🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHAHA
Its crazy ive been watching this channel since highschool and im 26😂😂😂 i just love this guy his fun makes learning about guns fun
That double flash in the 3rd block on the second shot was really interesting. Looks like u created a mini star inside the gel
That Sonoluminescence light flashes on the second shot inside the gel was crazy ;) æææ
@@a64738Somnoluminesence is a good theory, but it's not actually what's happening. That type of ballistics gel is partially hydrocarbon solvent based, and it's dieseling. Like an actual diesel engine piston, or like the same effect in a spring-piston airgun when it has enough lightweight oil or flammable solvent in the piston. The passing bullet vaporizes some of the volatile hydrocarbons in the gel through friction, and the low pressure partial vacuum from the temporary expanding wound channel draws out some more. Then as the elastic block shrinks back into shape, the vapor is compressed and ignites creating a visible flash of flame, and a bit of double-expansion rebound as the heat & energy release from the combustion tries to expand one more time.
Pure gelatin ballistic test blocks won't do it, as there's nothing flammable in their ingredients. The dieseling effect in the hydrocarbon ballistics gel can confuse or obscure high-speed camera footage that's trying to guage the effects of a bullet's terminal effects because of the flame flash and double-bounce of the dieseling. And smoke or soot escaping from entrance and exit holes, and possibly a bit of carbon soot residue making the permanent wound channel a bit dirty sometimes. Although the residential soot if there's enough may actually highlight the permanent wound channel and bullet track better.
Despite those issues, the hydrocarbon gel is better or more convenient than gelatine in most all other respects. It's much clearer to see through, gelatin blocks of the needed size and with the right ratio of gelatine to water, much more than food-JELL-O, tend to be rather cloudy and yellow/brown-ish. And they don't stand up well to hot sun or summer heat. So they can melt or lose consistency if not kept in a cooler or set up and used quickly.
And they don't have the diseling flame/flash which is hella-cool.
9:49 lool
"I know what i gotta do but I don't know if i have the strength to do it"
3:42 Props to that table; that landing was fire xD
I need the punt gun vs ballistic gel and the slo-mo guys here again. The videos with them are probably the coolest videos I've ever seen
You should maybe also just try 6 single gel blocks end to end to see if it really is the round that travels that straight. My theory is that the middle row of gel is kept from deforming too much by the surrounding blocks, and this is what prevents the round from being able to deviate in other directions. It can be a short video. 😉
If you don't make a vid 10 min you don't get ad revenue so it kinda can't be a short video
Well he could make it a short but that's 50 bucks of ballistic gell for a 10 sec vid he don't get anything from
It doesn’t always just have to be about money, you know. This time it can actually be for science… 😉
Scott, I first started watching your videos when I saw your first 4 Bore video pop up on my recommended feed (probably because I had started watching Brandon Herrera a bit before then) and even though I started by watching you shoot your biggest gun, I have since gone back and watched a TON of your older videos and loved every single one of them. Seeing how you're still going strong 2 years (more or less) since your accident, it's extremely inspiring. As a fellow man of faith, I just wanted to say god bless you man and keep it up!
Dude really is straight up a national treasure..
It doesn't get much better than the 4 Bore!😅 Awesome video, Scott. Love your videos
That gun is so insanely powerful… surprised you haven’t completely dislocated your shoulder with that almighty recoil!
The trajectory of the round is not surprising,due to it's mass and velocity.
A freight train comes to mind.
Great video, thanks.
Scott thank you for your effort setting up those gel blocks for each shot
6:44 always makes me laugh
Loved the episode, even tho we didnt get watermelon time.....
Scott, That 4 Bore is beyond unbelievable, but what would the wound channel look like with a hollow point round ( do they even make a hollow point round for this monster?) Would the wound channel extend into the adjacent blocks? God Bless and keep bringing us this superb content.
This seems like the kind of gun you buy a few rounds for and then keep reloading it to keep costs down and probably also cast your own bullets so you could make a mold for a hollow point bullet pretty easy.
That has to be a world record for the most ballistic gel blocks penetrated by a shouldered rifle!
Probably also the world record for the most ballistic gel block’s purchased by a single person
Would love to see you try some longer range tests. Hitting a steel target at increasing yardage etc. See how easy it is to hit consistently.
Flinching is real even for the beast Scott a.k.a. Kentucky Ballistics?
Takes some practice or good luck.
I'd be interested to see Scott do a few longer shots and address the ballistics of larger rounds. What effect does wind, fiction, gravity, etc have on the rounds? How much energy does it deliver at a longer distance?
I’m no expert, but I think part of the reason why the bullet stayed true was because of all the excess ballistic gel surrounding it. It pretty evenly applied more weight, and therefore resistance, on all sides of the center target and discouraged bullet deviation
A tremendous introduction to 4 bore! Hope it makes many awesome returns. Thank you, Scott!
He's had 2 other videos about it already.
That “little oopsie” cracked me up 😂😂. Great video, Scott.
