The tape used to bulk up the slugs did two things. First it allowed better engagement with the rifling but it also squeezed the bundle of wires together much tighter and helped to keep them from being shoved out of the insulation.
Great, I guess you will be storming the capital all over again!
I haven't finished the video but a cool idea might be to score or split the cable jacket like a sabot.
when prepping the slugs maybe a lil epoxy down the tube to keep the flechettes from immediately separating?
@@scottstokes1878 idk i think that they are fine with the tape too much epoxy and they would just act like an expensive slug
@@grimreefer8561 i doubt fledermaus stormed the capitol in the first place secondly im fairly certain your just a troll looking for attention sadly the only kind you will receive with idiotic comments like that one is going to be negative dont you know a good portion of those who stormed the capitol were blm and antifa members ?
The amount of jiggle, wobble, expansion and return to shape of the gel captured on the hi speed camera is impressive.

The longer range and accuracy of a slug, that shatters into the tearing effect of a multi projectile shell. I love it, but I'd hate to be on the wrong end of a gun loaded with these.

What amazes me is after all these years you still manage to find new things to accelerate. The education is really valuable during projectile shortages. I really do enjoy watching the slow mo.
"How did he die?"
"It appears that he suicided through a construction site at an extreme rate of speed."
Lmmaooooo “extreme rate of.....speed”

OG: " 'Insulation' keeps you warm in the winter!". 😆
This messed me right up

Especially if it's not very good. 🔥
@@nazarderkach9320 So true
It's pretty nice to be able to have the one round breaking up into multiple pieces that hit at different times gives you a significantly better chance of actually getting the target
I actually think it’s pretty sweet when the round separates. As long as the target is close up, that’s a mean spread of some nasty looking projectiles.

@@mikedrop4421 you're right. My bad. It is 2021 after all
I’ve worked as an electrician for about 3 years. Came across a lot of short pieces of 4/0 like this. Always had the idea but wasn’t able to test it myself. Glad to see you guys try it out!
Pro tip: A peice of 500 copper THHN about 3 in Long is better than wrapping your fist around a roll of quarters.
I recently found this channel a couple days ago and I swear I've watched 40 of their videos already. Great content and well produced. Keep it up you guys!

"Fancy drone shot, just because"
Well that may describe 90% of drone shot on youtube and the reason most people buy a drone.
....they didnt shot the drone though :(

ATF is baffled.
One time my dad and I was going through a cul-de-sac that our construction company did the ground work for. As we were driving pass the houses being built the carpenters on the first four houses were shooting their nails at each other, we could hear and see the nails flying across the road.

@@somelaser5906 Thankyou kindly.
As a novice surgeon on my sister's Barbie dolls and random dead animals... I'd say any surgeon trying to repair a wound similar to this is drunk and needs to go home.
I was just working with this exact gauge of copper today and even brought home several pounds of it for scrap 🤔😂
Use this one easy trick to strip your heavy guage wire! Scrap recycling centers HATE him!
That is exactly what I did. I sent him 30 of the rounds to test with. I have a bowling pin that took one perfectly and I need to get xrayed.
@@Pyr0531 great idea. I'm gonna try working up a good flying load of this. I'm thinking of soldering ot on both ends like many have commented.. should hold together nice until impact.
@@mattkissmyasstyrants8676 i wonder if JB weld could be a simpler solution
@@thateffinguy2422 probably would be better because no heat involved.. using jb welds wouldn't melt the insulation.. 👍🏻
Awsome.. the amout of stuff that can be fired from a 12 gauge is truely limitless..

@@juhajuntunen7866
That's what she said..
(Sorry.. I'll let myself out)
Especially with the Diablo 12ga pistol. It's blackpowder, so it makes it easier. No shell 😋
Soldering the base end of the copper wires would have been interesting to see what effects that would have produced 🤔
A.sort.of reverse mushroom
@@DeandreSteven ..., if the base is soldered it should mushroom quickly and disperse energy fast... in a rifled bore it should be accurate
I want to see it happen
it would also be interesting to see what would happen if you soldered the tip. theoretically it could help keep it together in flight, add a little forward weight to stabilize it, yet disintegrate on impact....
@Vidar D It definitely would help with the factor of over penetration. The slug would stay together at midrange without peppering surrounding area with shot or buckshot. this would effectively extend the range of a shotgun around the neighborhood
Fuck man I remember when Tao had barely any subscribers a ways back.
About time it's doing its thing. Honestly the most consistent video style on youtube.
That would definitely be a life changing round if you survive. Surgeon is going to need therapy after working on you.

That was awesome! I was amazed at how well you guys had it failed in by the end, with a little bit of electrical tape to add just enough to the width and a rifled slug barrel. I think that is an outstanding option for a homemade flechette rounds.
thanks Brian!
@@taofledermaus I just reread my comment and apologize for sounding like an uneducated idiot for the poorly structured first sentence. However, I am pretty sure that you guys understood what I was trying to say about it starting out at failed attempts but then the addition of an electrical tape and rifled slug barrel and became a quite formidable defense weapon if needed. In response to your "thanks Brian!" comment, you are very welcome. I did really appreciate watching the demonstration of that improvised round and the process of improving it. I do not currently own a scattergun, so I will not be loading those rounds do defend my own home, however, I do have friends who do. So, I will share this with them. Thanks again.
its amazing how simple it is to turn anything into an effective round (simple if you have any experience and the ability of time and access to a safe place for testing)
im glad i found this i love the science behind everything you show
I used to know a guy that did his own custom shotgun loads for shits and giggles... my favorites were probably then 3.5 inch magnum shell stuffed full of penny's, and the solid steel slugs he turned on the lathe. Fun times...
Edit: Oh yeah he also shoved a bunch of roofing nails in a 10 gauge.
After pulling thousands of feet of the stuff, I too am glad to see it shot! Fine job fellas
Ever need to use a truck to pull it when the tugger couldn't handle it? lol
@@taofledermaus I've had to tie one end to a boom lift to pull some slightly smaller cable down a cable tray. That was fun.
Yeah buddy, except it was an old Clark forklift that did the dirty work. I was constantly washing the wire lube off old green
“There’s warmth in this fuzzy hole.” Lol
You guys crack me up 🤣
On today's episode of: "What can we shoot out of a shotgun"
"shoot out of a mass accelerator".
I see that once again when accelerated to velocity, mass has significant force.
Well, now I know what to do with my service entrance cable trimmings
The results of this round when it flies correctly are horrifying..
Seeing that in high speed has made all the work and R&D I have put into this worth every second. The best for last was an understatement.
@@Pyr0531 soon people will be able to 3D print these........ god I love America
@@jesusllanas9318 3D printer would be overkill for making something like that.
If you don't have access to such high duty cables, just get 19 short nails, cut heads off of them, pot them in wax or weak glue just to have them hold cylindrical shape + lower turbulence at the front and wrap it in electrical tape to fit the barrel.
@@deldrinov meant 3D printer to help stabilize the rounds or at least give them more predictable flight paths

maybe solder the back end of 1 and try soldering the front end. would stay together till it hit then maybe shred the target.
I was thinking jb wield on both ends 🤷♂️
I was thinking just solder the back end and see what happens.
A few drops of cyanoacrylate glue. Just to give stability during acceleration.
I'm thinking melted wax might work to help hold them together. Or hot glue?
@@andytuesday500 the point is to have the wires pop at some point, though, not cast into a solid block.

Love the content. I just want to say that if you mix hydrogen peroxide into your ballistic gel, it clears it up. Not sure if you need 30% or if a bunch of 3% will work but it does wonders
@taufladermaus listen to this guy!!
Seriously good tip
I have some of that cable from when I was an electrician .That's where I got the name flex bender(rookie name,long story). I keep the the cable for use as a heavy baton .
OG gave that helmet so much finger action. So aggressively too.
Now that would make a great home defence round! You'd have no worries about over penetration even if the round came apart in mid-flight. In fact, having it come apart may be a more desired outcome. Keep up the good work and may God continue to keep all of you safe!

@@taofledermaus Custom round request: an ounce of Airsoft BBs at UK-legal velocities.
Law says up to 1 Joule full auto, up to 2 Joules other weapons. Table of weights and 2 Joule muzzle velocities follows:
0.12 g = 1.85 gr @ 182.6 m/s = 599.0 fps
0.20 g = 3.09 gr @ 141.4 m/s = 464.0 fps
0.25 g = 3.86 gr @ 126.5 m/s = 415.0 fps
0.28 g = 4.32 gr @ 119.5 m/s = 392.1 fps
0.30 g = 4.63 gr @ 115.5 m/s = 378.8 fps
0.32 g = 4.94 gr @ 111.8m/s = 366.8 fps
0.36 g = 5.56 gr @ 105.4 m/s = 345.8 fps
0.40 g = 6.17 gr @ 100 m/s = 328.1 fps
0.43 g = 6.64 gr @ 96.45 m/s = 316.4 fps
For air rifles, we're restricted to 12 ft-lbf, because that law was written before we went metric, and I've seen a tin of 8.6 gr .177 pellets, so that's approximately US BB size and that means a muzzle velocity of ... how the hell do you work this out in imperial? Ugh. 12 ft-lbf = 16.2698 J, and that's 8.75 gr = 0.56699 g @ 239.56 m/s = 785.965 fps. There. One BB pellet at slightly more than .45 ACP muzzle velocity is legal. Can you hit some things with BB shot at that speed, please?
@@Sableagle I want to be your friend lol. Here in the UK aswell, having similar questions but lack the know how to figure them out
Man i love watching you guys I'm laughing most of the time, officer Greg sense of humor is awesome
Now I’m wondering if there’s a wire gauge that fits well in a 20g shell….
.625 inch is close to 20, depending on choke.

Greatest quote ever. I hope OG copyrights that. If he doesn't I'm gonna.
After your banjo playing parachutist lands, you could have him shoot a target made of leather jacket skin, pork steak pectorals, pork ribs, a bag of oranges to simulate lung tissue, more ribs on the back, 4 layers of t-shirt on the front, 4 layers of t-shirt on the back, and the whole thing followed by the new and improved high tech fleece bullet stop.
13:12 he saw his life flash before his eyes and tried to be slick about it😂
Wow that head shot! Went right in with a large wound track, and after a couple inches of penetration then it sorta “expanded” out and turned into many smaller tracks of damage. When you make it to only break apart after impact then you have something more brutal than a hollow point
Classic: "she has a flat head so you have a place to set your beer"; the 80's makes a come back.

Thank you for the instructional video on the Crosman DPMS bb air rifle. Love this gun, mainly because, like you said, it has the look of an AR. I shot this gun last year, really enjoyed it, and bought the same one. Loved the rapid fire! Can't wait to mount the 1X30 tactical dot sight. Looking forward to more videos, and can't wait to print-out your targets.
those slow motion shots are simply amazing.

The Man Show! I haven't heard about that in 20 years!
Yeah back when you could be funny and one particular host wasn't a little beta b**ch
I am curious as to how they would perform if they were packed in as an aerodynamic slug with longer ones as a core and shorter ones on the outside, making a cone kinda like the old russian rocket pods for aircraft. Would that improve flight stability and separation on impact, or decrease the integrity upon firing so it all just scatters out the barrel?
You did the right thing with the footage. It’s called B-roll. It’s great for transitions. Intros. If you didn’t mention your doubts it would be seamless. Not that it’s bad to mention your doubts per se, your genuiness is appealing. But you should roll with that with confidence.

@@militaristicsoldier856 Yeah, he still doesn't get it.🤪
love how the insulation kept going in that last shot without the copper.
I'm reminded of when I put 10 or 12 AWG wire into my pellet gun, I hit a pop can with it and the insulation stayed while the wire penetrated and almost went out the other side.
I wouldn’t say the test on the ballistic gel was less than satisfactory look just a millisecond after the main slug hits there’s like three of those cables that fly through the gel, that’s still pretty darn deadly man, and devastating!
I love it when Jeff shoots his wad
