When you need to defend yourself from a rabid Cadillac Escalade.
🤣🤣🤣
Hey. That's a thing in Minneapolis 😂
Sounds scary lol
😂😁 It would blow you out of the way so you don't get hit by the car.
Looks like people missed what you meant! 🤣
I appreciate you suffering for our entertainment
😆😆😆
I felt the sting myself😂
We appreciate your sacrifice 😢
💥🖐💥
The fact the Hornaday expands with such low velocity, but performs great out of a carbine, that's impressive
Yeah, it's some good stuff.
That was surprising to see.
I could feel the recoil from here ! Good test - thank you.
💥😎👊💥
That one eyed Willy gives you a sore wrist for a different reason. ☺️ Your a trooper taking one for the team. Thank you for your service. 🫡🇺🇸 Gentle fist bump. 👊
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for taking a big one for the team. I will never own a handcannon in .45-70, but it was entertaining to watch
It's somethin else.😆
That's right
I traded mine, I'm a big guy at 6'4 255 lbs and it made me flinch every time I shot it. Of course my bear paw didn't make things any better holding that thing. Only reason for that tool is to play pranks on your buddies. Of course you'll have the typical guys out there who say they can plink with it like a 22, and I'll tell them they're full of s**t too.
🤣🤣🤣 Absolute truth.
Thanks for doing this test! I got the .50 AE Cyclops a few months ago, it is wild to shoot. From a chronograph test posted online it gets about 1250 fps with the 300 grain Hornady load. I personally shot the 300 grain Underwood XTP load and the 230 grain Underwood Xtreme hunter load through it. The 230’s had a lot of recoil, the 300’s were brutal to shoot.
Yeah, those 300 .50 AE Underwoods are spicy.💥🌶💥
That is why I didn't buy one
45-70 out of that little thing? You’re more brave than me tools!
I aint even gonna lie and say it aint that bad, cause it is!😂
I live in TX and we dont call 90s blistering hot. We call it a nice break in the summer
I grew up down in Savannah, GA. 90's is hot, period.
Box: Not for use in Revolvers
Cyclops:😈
💥😎💥
I was praying for you Tools when I saw what you were shooting
😆😆😆
Amen to that 🙏 You da "MAN" or the "IDIOT" for being willing to take the punishment that you knew you were going to suffer! 6 shots total, if that doesn't cause a person to develop a serious flinch, they are pretty much made of Tungsten steel mentally and physically!! Including a $10 super thanks just in case you need to see a neurologist for nerve damage to your hand, my friend. Can't anyone say you don't have a big set of Balls in my opinion!
When I first saw this I thought you were going to do this test with a large revolver. I could not believe it when I saw the Derringer.
😂 It's pretty crazy.
Almost 800ft-lbs from only about an inch and a half of barrel is insane! I can only imagine what that feels like in the hand.
It is pretty crazy.😆
I've had the COP 357 derringer, a 45-70 barrel for my Contender, a KelTec P40, a 4" model 29 and the old AMT 45 Backup. They were all pretty rough on the hand, but I can't imagine a 45-75 in a gun that small, and I love small guns in big calibers. If I were you I'd go home and I'd soak that hand!
It's crazy how it just slings your hand off like you aint even holdin it.😆
That P40 is a collector's item now!
Not sure if it helped or not? But I was gritting my teeth for you on every shot?!?! 😂👊👍💥
I was rattling mine on every shot.😬
@@ToolsandTargets 😂 I bet! I’ve had mine rattled bench resting one of my 45-70’s! I can only imagine that handful! 😩
Gritting my teeth and I still flinched from the video
I had a 357 Derringer. It cured me of any desire for anything bigger.
Crazy how many tiny guns there are chambered in big calibers.
@@ToolsandTargets nobody ever wears one out.
You are the only one that has done this on RUclips that I’m aware of as far as velocity and gel testing. I have been very curious for quite a while. Thank you so much for all your crazy gel testing!
Brother you are nuts lol ….that looked brutal
😂
Love this test! I have a bond Snake Slayer 4 and all I know is 3” .410 is a handful from it. Can’t imagine a .45-70. GREAT TEST BRO
Thank you sir.💥😎👊💥
You are more of a man than I am. Years ago I shot a 45-70 out of revolver that was a LOT heavier than what you were shooting and my right elbow still ached for the next 8 hours. I don't know how you did that.
Kudos to you shooting that little tool. The 325 Hornady’s in a rifle definitely get your attention. Thanks for the video!
😎👊
Whenever Tools yells out "Good Day Y'all" you just know that round is a real SOB!
😂
Much respect for pulling this test off!
This is probably the most interesting test to date. Definitely one of the more entertaining test. Love all of your expressions through the testing. I'm surprised that thing didn't fly out of your hand. I appreciate you taking the punishment of six rounds out of that thing.
Every time you pulled the trigger. Looked like you were shaking hands with the devil himself! Awesome video!
🤣 Thank you sir.
These are a pointless gimmick. I'm glad you tested it. Thanks. Your channel is always fun and educational.
Man, I've never laughed so hard at the verbal reactions of a man who is shooting a 45-70gov out of a small tiny pistol haha😅. That was hilarious. I absolutely could imagine how he felt shooting those, by what he was uttering after each shot. The seriousness of his voice and words. Definitely real reactions lol. Good times!
Dude! I would not have done that. Much respect. 👍
I had to!😆
This one had me laughing for sure
Almost had me cryin!😆
I really never understood why they made such a small tool, with a 45-70 loading for the price! One thing for sure, like Scott says, "She Be Kickin"!!! 🤣
Yes she do!😆
Thanks. Hope your hand still works.
😆😆😆
Thanks for testing a punishing worthless tool. Hope your hand heals quickly.
😆
Ole Tools takin one for the team, much respect brother! 💪
💥😎👊💥
I have the bond arms cyclops 45-70, actually watched your videos on it before deciding to buy it. So thank you for the good reviews and content.
Tools & Targets: This is nuts!
Cyclops: Nuts! Hold my beer.
Cyclops takes a trip to the local custom gun shop. Aka gun gym.
Cyclops phones Tools & Target.
T & T: Hello, who is this?
Cyclops: It is Cyclops, I called you up Tools. To inform you that I now come in Holland & Holland .700 Nitro Express.
🤣
That was fun to watch. I'd like to see how they do in a rifle.
Definitely got a bunch of .45-70 rounds to test.😎👍
You could extrapolate what the Hornady round would do way down range from a rifle at that velocity. It worked fairly well. Thanks for the test.
Man those rounds made my old carpal tunnel wrists hurt like hell just watching. Good video Tools 👍🇺🇸
Appreciate ya, brother!💥😎👊💥
Haha! Sorry, this one made me chuckle! I know what youre going through. A couple years ago I had hand surgery, and went to the range a couple weeks later with my daughter. I shot a few Buffalo Bore .357's from my GP100, and dang did it hurt!
Great little novelty gun for sure! I'd love to test one out someday. I do really love derringer style guns regardless of their practicality.
🇦🇺😎👍Still cold down here mate but we are starting to head away from 0 deg/ 32 f and about 5-8 deg warmer. . . Ain’t looking forward to a stinking hot Christmas 🎄…45/70 elephant slayer 🐘🔫🤏😳👍…Brother sell that bass-ted and buy another long gun…self harm is not an option🤜😳🤛…. Great video big fella🏁
🤣🤣🤣
Gel wobbling .45-.70! That sent some waves through those blocks. Excellent test Tools. Crazy pistol!👍🏻👊🏻😎
Yeah it did.💥😎👊🔥
I put a after market extended grip on mine, which makes it a lot easier to hold on to.
Last ditch tool for when the Lion, Tiger, Bear (oh my) is chomping on you! Haha.
💥🦁🐯🐻💥
I hurt from the shoulder on down…just from reading the thumbnail!😂
🤣
When I saw you pull out that Derringer I said the man has spent too much time in the sun and has gone plumb crazy.
You aint wrong!😂
Man , i was honestly about to watch four other videos and this thumbnail caught me. I thought well Tools is about to take one for the team , that deserves a click. This tool is crazy. And the operator.
😂 Appreciate ya, brother!
Sir, you're amazing.! That thing discharging was shaking your sun shade.!! And excellent placement in the gel, there.
Appreciate that. It was even shaking the radar on the stand.😆
I think you're almost better off giving your gun to the bad guy 🤣 Not sure who's getting the worst end of the deal on this one. That thing is a beast. Love big bore, but ain't no way I'm shooting that sucker lol. Great video Mr. Tools!
Great Goodness what a show....THANKS TOOLS for taking the pain to entertain.......!!!
😎👊
Thanks, you are very brave for shooting that gun.
Best Extreme ammo testing on U TUBE, ya’all stay tuned. Thanks for enduring the pain bro. Man, with that heavy trigger that was great shot placement in the gel. Good job. Think I will leave the 45-70 up to the rifles. Bet you were dreading that test in the Cyclops lol 😂. That Cyclops would break my hand so, that leaves me out. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and heal up. 😂 😎🇺🇸😎😎🇺🇸⭐️
You described it perfectly!
"I hate this thing" is all I needed to hear. 😅😂😅
🤣🤣🤣
OMG No way I could hold that thing. Thank you for showing me something I could never shoot. As we say in the South---Bless yourrrr heart. That was awesome.
Pocket Howitzer !!! You never have to prove your commitment in any other way sir. Those hornady rounds thump in my Handi-Rifle so I can’t imagine that palm hammer.
For the Hornady, the muzzzle velocity out of the cyclops is roughly the same as it would be at 375 yards out of a rifle.
.45-70 is no joke.😎👊
Gotta love Granbury Texas the Home of bonds arms
Thanks for showing another firearm that's a novelty and something I'll never own. Nice trigger control!!!!! You da man!!
The trigger controlled me.😂
That is an interesting gun. TC Contender in same caliber might not kick as much, fun video to watch
Yeah, I have the 10" BFR in .45-70 too. It's rough, but nothing uncontrollable like this thing.😆
You're right, it's nuts.
You are a brave man. I dont think I could pull the trigger on that one!
Fun test, Brian! For us, anyway! I don't and wouldn't own one but I did shoot a 45-70 derringer many years ago. Once! That was enough to convince me I didn't need one. Yep, you're right, all pain, no gain! If I want to impress friends I drzg out .44 Mag, which us usually enough. If that doesn't work, I have .338 Win Mag that will!
Cheers,
jc
Folks who don't know much about different calibers are never prepared for the chaos of this thing when they shoot it.😂
Oh, I saw the other guys shoot it - usually just once - but I couldn't chicken out in front of my shooting buddies! It was a dumb thing to do but it made me appreciate the big fat grips and the mild recoil of my .44 mag!
Cheers,
jc
Wow what a test, you are a better than me for even trying that bad SOB. You are the man brother, thanks
😎👊
Tools no envy here thanks for all you do stay safe and God Bless.
Just as you were ready to pull the trigger, your arm would punch a little forward and stiffen up in anticipation that it’s going to be painful. Kind’ve like a flinch. I got a good chuckle each time.
Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, the heavy trigger was what made it look extra weird.😂 It's so incredibly heavy unless you're at a perfect angle with it.😆
That thing will give you a flinch. Hell i bout flinch just watching 😂
Yeah, the trigger itself is like a built-in flinch cause it's so heavy.😂
That mini cannon should come with wheels and a fuse
You aint lyin.😂
You deserve a raise brother. That looks like a beat down. Talk about take one for the team
A bunch of years ago I had a Thompson Contender in 45-70, so I am not going to troll you for the rabid flinch you now have. It took about 20 rounds for me to trade for a 45-70 Marlin and that was with a full size grip to hang on to.
Better you than me brother. That things is nuts.
I was never interested in the Cyclops. Thanks for confirming it!
💥👁💥
Thanks much for your work in testing these loads. I'd wondered about what kind of velocity could be expected from a short barreled .45-70. I was surprised as I thought it would have been quite a bit lower.
I figured it would be lower myself.
You probably wouldn't lose too much velocity loading them with trail boss or an old school load vs the hot modern loadings and probably reduce the recoil down considerably.
Then just use hard cast to get the same pass-through
What a wrist breaker! Ouch!
I got a 44mag. I should have stopped at .357. But what you’re doing is insanity brother.
Thanks for your video that was painful. That’s something I never seen before
lol I’m sorry I laughed at your pain but we have all used a tool that hurt like this. Leading up to hunting season hopefully you test some typical hunting rounds. You did it last year and it was informative and fun to watch.
Tools, looks like "the misery overcame the joy!" pretty fast with that derringer! Hello from WV!
Fun test thank you, You saved me some money I was looking at getting one……😂 Cyclops ……closing one eye anticipating the recoil and blast……
It's cool to have but definitely not practical.😂
@@ToolsandTargets the 44 Cyclops looks more appealing to me now….
Ouch! Thanks for sharing.
You definitely have bigger kahunas than I do!!! I thought the Snake Slayer with 3 inch 00 Buck was a handful. Definitely a great video for us.........maybe not you though 🤣🤣
This thing is just plain rude.😆
Probably the coolest video ever.
Thank you. Next up Hornady Subsonic.
Tools - I've been looking forward to this one all day since reading what you wrote in the comments of the "Green" site. Definitely delivered, Sir!
Not sure what we can offer your poor hand - maybe some Blue Emu? 😂😂😂
Off to watch this one again over on the Green. Happy Friday, and thanks for the fun, Tools!!
Appreciate that, brother. Might be tomorrow before this one is up over there.😎👊
Bro, they make Full Size custom handgrips for that cyclops. ✋
This video was great! I've never laughed so hard watching you.😂
Fun, if a painful test. Tyvvvm, might wanna keep the Tylenol handy. Just not a handgun round.
When Bigfoot attacks, you'll be glad you were carrying your Cyclops!
💥👹💥
Those FTX projectiles are awesome. I like them in my 460 S&W Mag. Very potent
What an insane handgun concept. Frankly, I don't see what any 45/70 handgun does that a stout 44 Magnum load won't do. I'd use a Buffalo Bore 340 gr. Hard Cast L.F.N. The claimed velocity is is over 1400 fps from a large handgun (no S&W Model 29). Of course there are more powerful loads available in the 454 and 460 handguns.
It really has no point besides matching your rifle if you choose to carry 45-70
You found the perfect TRex up close load!
I have a few of the bond arms derringers and about a dozen different caliber barrels so I like them. But when I heard a couple years ago they were gonna make a single shot 45-70 I thought it was a joke!?! They had stopped making the 44mag years ago so I didn’t really believe it! But they did…🤷♂️👌😳😅
This is all very interesting but you should have fired all 40 rounds to get a bigger sample size for the velocity testing ! Ouch ! Maybe next time test some saucy loads from Buffalo Bore and Cor-bon. Thanks for taking the pain for all your viewers !
Corbon might be okay but I really wouldn't suggest buffalo bore out of anything but a rifle made for it
The flinch king 🤣
The trigger is so heavy it's inevitable!😂
Lol that's why I watch your videos for it saves me a lot of pain. So thanks for the sacrifices!
In my 70s and shot 4 rounds of the Winchester out of my derringer with no gloves. OUCH !
Something I thought about when you mentioned it being like a hot 10mm.... Bond Arms makes a 6" barrel for their Derringers in 10mm. It would be interesting to see how 10mm does out of a 6" Derringer. Every time I look, the 10mm barrels are out of stock, though.
Bear defense. But you may want to see if the bear can be reasoned with before resorting to using it.
For sure!😂
Let the bear give that thing a try first. He may just decide he's got better things to do than mess with someone who can wield it.
