      The Last comment sounded as the Gentleman was on his death bed ! Was the comment figuratively speaking of our wonderful cancel culture. Which is neither wonderful or positive for a culture. So I will assume the later .as I hope the Gent.is in good health .Although most of his instruction is above my skill set ,as gun Smithing and clock work. I.E. Casper powder actuated tools .Although. I am able to wire a building and rebuild engines. And was a Licensed Contractor. These skill sets are very difficult and the Crimson snow flakes have little to fear ,alas theater is great I ment to say politics and Lordly Decrees!

      @taylormay9938 3 года назад

      He isn't doubting carbon fiber, as others have suggested. He's doubting the "-ish" part. It appears to be a 3d printed part, and most carbon fiber filaments contain small bits of carbon fiber distributed throughout, which basically eliminates the *fiber* benefit of carbon fiber - tensile strength. I'm now curious which printer they used, as there are a few that do actually inlay carbon fiber in the print. These printers do actually get the benefit of true carbon fiber, though they are quite expensive.

  • @joshuagibson2520
    @joshuagibson2520 3 года назад +1

    This is what we do with our PCP rifles. Experimenting with different velocities for a certain weight slug. Have to be cautious of over powering them as sometimes they'll corkscrew. I don't think you'd see it at the ranges you shoot at but at 80-100 years and 900-950 fps you can see it. They also show it in the way they print on paper. It's a lot of tedium but I can shoot a dime at 50 yards nearly every shot and the work is worth the reward.

    Jeff, I am with Danny on this, for wholly different reasons. It's because I love watching your videos so much. Though the shorter videos are great, I prefer Taofledermaus videos with a longer runtime; therefore, anyone interested in sending projectiles to the Taofledermaus crew for testing should send a minimum of 10 identical projectiles. If the sender needs different weights or projectile types tested, please send 8 of each weight/type. This way, we the viewers get longer videos and senders get more complete data sets so that they can make the needed alterations to their projectiles. Everyone Wins!

    Funny you mention the YT revenue, one of the airgun channels I watch got demon-itized recently. We think because he was shooting his Hatsan Blitz in full auto mode into blocks of gel. But that's just a guess because YT can't bother to tell him the video and why!

      Two of the channels I follow were COMPLETELY demonetized this past week. My newest video was monetized, then DEmonetized then monetized then DEmonetized again. I had to ask for a manual review and finally it’s permanently monetized again. Not sure what the hell is going on down at YT.

    Great video as always, wonderful knowledge gained with ballistics and aerodynamics. Great design and material choices. Great work to everyone involved :)

    Haven’t seen a recommendation for your channel in months. Sorry about that, guys. Glad u popped back up. I still provide a whopping $1 per month, proudly, haha.

    I would love to see those in some ballistics gel. Great video and really cool to see that slug move and not disintegrate.
