I started learning about the Elephant Rifle after Rdr2. And i started to love this monster of a gun. Thanks for being so fun, informative and showing off a badass gun.
If you're learning, one of the first things you need to know is that the term 'elephant gun' is very fudd. The proper term is a 'stopping rifle'. It can also be described as a 'dangerous game rifle' as DGs are generally larger bore, but a 'stopper' is going to be on the high end of the DG list.
You'll be alright. Image the relief when you dont have to put up with that pain any more! Good luck. Sending good vibes from across the pond 👍🇬🇧 Just be glad you don't have to piss them out! 😕🙄
Plastic sheet goes to the back and serves to prevent glass shards flying inside the vehicle and hitting the occupants. Same thing as the special coating inside some tanks to prevent spalling (the inside of the armor detaching and hitting the occupants despite the projectile failing to penetrate)
@@MOTO809 also does nobody realize how a windshield in every single vehicle on the road works? It has a thin layer in between two sheets of glass to stop the window from exploding in the event something hits it. Yea that area might or will but the rest of it won't.
Excellent video. It is important that we understand the effects of different ammunitions, in terms of penetration and damage done to different surfaces. A lot of folks have no idea about what a bullet can do, as opposed to what they think it should do. if you carry a firearm you should understand the capabilities of your weapon.
There might need to be a correction to your statement as to the largest elephant rifle. My father worked as a vice president of an importing arms company when I was growing up, and as such I grew up with all sorts of gun industry people coming to the house for various reasons. One such guest happened to have started out working for Holland and Holland in the late 40's after the war and regailed us with a story of a project he was involved in. It seems a young English aristocrat that had been a big game hunter before the war, went on to serve in the British Army and was introduced to a 20mm anti tank round and had the brilliant idea that it would make a great elephant round, what with it being available in armor piercing and all. After the war ended this young man, who seemed to have larger anatomy between his legs than his ears, commissioned H&H to build a double rifle in 20mm Lahti, while they HIGHLY discouraged this, they relented when enough money was thrown their way with the caveat that they would NOT test fire the rifle and that the young man was SOLELY liable for it as such. So the fateful day arrives when he comes and picks up the gun and they didn't hear anything back for almost a year until one day the young man comes back, walking with a cane, and explains what happened. It seems that he actually fired it off a bench with just some serious bruising but otherwise just fine, loading just one barrel at a time. Well, the young man takes the rifle to Africa, and for the first time, loaded both barrels with his new favorite rounds. It seems another hunter in his party had wounded a bull elephant and the bull turned on their group and charged them all, in his haste to dispatch the now VERY pissed off elephant, the young man accidentally pulled both triggers of his double barreled 20mm elephant rifle. He said the young man woke up in a hospital about 2 weeks later with a broken shoulder, crushed ribs, collar bone, cheek bone, rt eye socket and had fractured 2 vertebrae in his neck, not to mention the fractured skull. The gun held together fine, but the recoil from 2 20mm going off at once was a bit to much for a mere mortal to handle, but to his credit, the charging bull was stopped in his tracks with 2 20mm holes, one just above the other, in his head with actual exit wounds out the back of his neck. Moral of the story, when a gun builder tells you your idea is a bad one, just walk away.
I would love to see Scott shooting one of the old WW2 anti-tank guns like the Lahti L-39 or the Solothorn S-18-1000. Still it’s nice seeing him getting better and that 700 is a beautiful gun :-)
I shot a Lahti at a machine gun shoot a few months ago. It looks and sounds impressive but at ~100lbs between the gun and sled, it feels like a big shotgun more than anything. Just a big, slow push.
The person in the Dino suit has developed certain intricacies and defining traits that completely reveals the empathic journey this Dino surely wishes to embark on with us.
The viewers are correct about the glass. Especially on military vehicles the glass goes a certain way because on the outside of the bullet resistance glass is a layer of normal vehicle glass that acts as a sacrificial layer against rock chips and just one extra thing standing in the way before anything actually impacts the bullet resistant stuff. I know this first hand because when I was in the military I broke the sacrificial layer and I freaked out thinking I'd owe Uncle Sam a couple thousand dollars, turns out it's like a $20 glass window and like $7 in glue.
The sheer impact power of that .700 NE is astounding. Virtually destroyed the second and third panels without actually entering them. A ballistic gel vid about the 3 big weapons , might be a bit geeky, but comparing the wound channels would be interesting. BOOM! Oh yeah, can you get .700 holow point? :-)
The wound channels would be pretty interesting to see, but probably fairly predictable results. Just as has been shown with varieties of 12 gauge rounds, some will dump the energy quicker, while others go deeper. As I did say, would still be interesting to see the actual comparisons, but as with the glass here the larger/heavier round delivered more force with less depth, while smaller delivered it slightly deeper. As for this test, I'm fairly certain the 700 did "poke" into the second panel, then slightly bounced or rebounded back into the 1st. Regardless, the energy transfer into the back panels was still impressive to say the least.
The reason the plastic is in the back is because the glass is made to break up the bullet first, and the plastic is made to catch the pieces of bullet. It also helps when driving a armored vehicle, you wont get covered in glass shards
Surprising to me that the 700 Nitro's large surface area is what saves the glass, even though the transferred energy broke the panes behind the first. Very cool video! Also, after some quick googling I saw that bulletproof glass can be designed symmetrically or asymmetrically so depending on your panes bullets are designed to be stopped from a single direction.

As the video progressed, I was surprised ... nay ... shocked ... that no tables were harmed during the filming of this episode. But then we got to the last 90 seconds and that feeling quickly subsided. You see, several years ago, I bought stock in Kentucky Table Manufacturers, and I've been reaping huge dividends ever since. Market tanked after the 50-BMG exploded, but we're back on track now.
Fun trivia: In the early days of WW1, the Germans used steel plates to protect themselves from British fire, so the British took a bunch of elephant guns and pressed them into service, which were able to punch through them. They later evolved into the anti-tank and anti-material rifles we all know and love today. EDIT: Now I'm wondering if someone makes Xtreme Penetrator rounds for .700 Nitro Express. I know .50AE hollow points don't go through 3A body armor, even though it will cause a ton of backface deformation, but .50AE Xtreme Hunters from Underwood will.
Someone made extreme penetrator for 12 gauge, which is nearly right for a 700 calibre (see taofledermous video), but they ain't LeHigh manufactured so you can't actually buy them. maybe if enough people want them, LeHigh will start making them ! BTW: the rounds went through 3x IIIA vests from a shotgun, so i'm guessing even better through an elephant gun.
The first anti-material rifle was invented by the Germans in 1916 and came to service in early 1918. They invented it because the normal rifle bullets didnt go through the tanks amour. Therefore it got the name „Tankgewehr M1918“.
@@HUNDEK0PF420 Which literally stands for "Tank Rifle". The Germans didn't have a word for tank in till the late 30s/earlier 40s (Panzer) so they just copied the British and called it "tank"
Exactly. The 600 Nitro Express was your last chance to survive when out hunting smaller game and finding yourself facing a pissed off, charging bull elephant. The guide who my Grand Father hired [IIRC it was Harry Selby] when he went hunting in Africa in 1951 always carried one when in the bush, so I was told as a wee lad. MY GF took his own 600 to take a trophy bull. He succeeded. Very effective skull penetration, which is the key. A properly aimed head shot would drop the beast instantly with no worry he was just temporarily stunned. Story was that a 700 NE was difficult to impossible to fire accurately due to the recoil.
@@xmlash234 Any "party" that goes through as many tables as Kentucky Ballistics is either into some really REALLY kinky stuff or has its own brewery. Or both.
Should we be worried that Tactical T-Rex is showing anomalous abilities to open a portal to a pocket dimension, pull out a random firearm or other object, and try and attack Scott? No? Okay.
Scott: That glass already came back and hit me in the neck and face on the last shot Me: Eh, we all know you’ve had worse blowback buddy For real though we’re glad to see you’re doing better!
Scott *takes a huge lump of metal to the face and survives* Scott a few months later. 'I'm worried about this coming back and hitting me in the face so I'll hide behind my truck' Loving the ink by the way. Much larger than I was expecting it to be. Keep up the awesome content
tbh it was a reality trip we were all very happy he survived and to be more careful in it's wake shows us even the experts continue to learn (the good ones anyway) here's to many more years of salad rain!! best wishes to all
Would love to get my hands on an autographed, once fired, .700 Nitro Express case. How about an epic video with Scott and a bunch of friends shooting "Big Boom Sticks" at some crazy targets, then auctioning off autographed casings and target remnants for an appropriate charity. Would make great wall-hangings and coffee table pieces. Cool idea on the 20mm rifles. Also, try getting hold of the .950 JDJ. I want to see you with that brute.
That intro was a little sketchy. Technically, dinosaurs were not lizards. It mostly comes down to the nature of their hip joints. There is also speculation that dinos may have been warm blooded. But they were well known car jackers. You were spot on with that.
I just want to say thank you to Scott for buying this gun. They are incredibly expensive and not to mention ammo for them. But to really see a 700 NE in action on your channel is a real pleasure! Thanks for going the extra expensive mile for your viewers!
The 700 has way less penetration than I would have expected. I guess it makes sense with the increased surface area/weight of the bullet vs the powder behind it. I'll bet the steel jacket is necessary to get what the penetration it does. to be extra fair though, the 458 was a brass solid, not lead with 2 jackets. I love these elephant gun videos. Since no one ever shoots a 700 nitro, the gun community is getting very valuable information from your videos. 👍
I really think the rounds don't matter, the problem in this case is that it's just glass sitting on a table, mount that in a wall or car door where it can't just fall over and those pieces of glass would stand no chance against it. I'm not a bullet proof glass expert, but I know just enough about physics to know that the way the glass fell over took off tons of pressure (literally.)
Wow, I wasn't expecting those results; bulletproof glass is tougher than I thought! However, that 700 Nitro Express delivered one hell of a punch; that would make quite a mess of anything fleshy! 😆
.950 JDJ is not an elephant gun cartridge and would be hugely impractical as one, given that a rifle chambered in that caliber weighs at least half of what an adult man weighs. Good luck shouldering that.
Hi Scott, glad to see your on the mend mate, please go careful breathing in glass dust, I was a glazier for 30years plus. Our bulletproof glass in the UK is 32mm thick made up of different laminated pieces and thickness. Keep up the great work from a Kenfolk in the UK 🇬🇧 👍🏻
I don’t really care WHAT you shoot….as long as it doesn’t involve military surplus ammo from decades ago. That leaves you plenty of options, but I get a little nervous in the service watching you do this stuff now.
Scott you and I shared many mutual friend in Murray, KY. Karl and Kayla in particular. We’ve had a few beers together during those glory days. I had no idea that this had happened until I ran across your channel on FB. I’m glad you’ve made a full recovery and hope you continue to be safe doing what you clearly love to do. I’ve liked and subscribed brother. Love the tattoo.
You probably wouldn’t even have to fire it. Anyone with an ounce of self preservation instinct would take one look at the thing and run for their life.
Maybe because 700 NE is a flat fat round that lost its energy QUICK! wonder what a pointed tip brass solid would do. I don't know if there's such ammo at all or not but if there is, its gonna be epic.
I wonder how much the muzzle velocity played a part in the terminal ballistics of each round? Perhaps the smaller diameter of the 458 and thinking it had the highest muzzle velocity of the 3. I would love to see those three calibers each having a custom turned ballistic tipped fmj compared to the rn used in the video. Curious. Love the content and the new ink! Keep on keeping on!
The glass, already being fractured, acted much like sand grains. The forces at the impact point had much more surface area to dissipate energy into. Successive shots through laminated glass are never mere successful unless the amount of glass left in a given area has been depleted or their frame work has given way.
I think you missed some key facts. The 458 and 500 rounds were solid brass and skinnier. The 700 was copper jacket, steel jacket underneath and lead core(from what I can find) not solid steel plus thicker. The last shot went what looked like the same distance as the first shot, even thought the glass was fractured already and acting like sand as you said. 700 round was fatter and softer than the other bullets and mushroomed and lost energy quicker. Your explanation to me, I'm for sure no scientist, doesn't make sense to me. In my simple mind, the more you shoot bullet proof glass the weaker it gets. From all the videos I've seen at least. It could be a factor though.
@@jasonkerekesch5012 The .458 also has about 300 FPS speed advantage. The round is skinnier.....the sectional density is a bit higher at I think .341 vs .293 for the .700 round. When you have both higher sectional density and velocity the difference in penetration on hard surfaces can be dramatic.
@@jasonkerekesch5012 it gets weaker as you chip away but the sand thing still applies. It gets a little better at negating force then eventually you chip away enough that you just go straight through
Basing it all off of the famous formula E=1/2(m(v^2)), I think its safe to say that the 700 nitro is probably relying more on the m part. This means with a slower velocity it will penetrate less but dump more energy in a localized area, more energy per unit length I guess. However the smaller round which I cannot remember, is faster (I think) and so by relying on the v^2 component, it can have more energy but will spread that energy over a longer distance as it penetrates further.
So the 458 Lott has at the heaviest, a 500 grain projectile. That's 32 grams. Multiply by the square of 700 m/s then halved gives a kinetic energy of 7840 joules. The 700 nitro at 1000 grain is 65 grams and travels at 610m/s. This yields a kinetic energy of around 12093. So interestingly, the 700 nitro still has the most energy. I do think though that the fact that there is more mass still results in less penetration than the other.
@@nicolatesla768 That would make tons of gun channels felons because so many people are using AP rounds for the .50 BMG. I'm not saying you're wrong; I'm just saying that there's got to be more to the story than that.
@@JayRussellDuramax There must be a loop hole that's being exploited. I'm sure the restrictions are spelled out in a massive federal document somewhere haha. Doesn't bother me none, if folks have penetrating ballistic rounds. This is America still, last I checked.... Or is it?
This channel's slogan should be something like "Kentucky Ballistics: Stupidly large bullets are best." I start watching every video thinking 'Is THIS the one where Scott breaks his shoulder/wrists?'
The only thing I'll say is when shooting into the broken glass, its less sturdy in a way, it bends more and absorbs more energy. I doubt the results would of changed much though. Love the video!!
Great video Scott. How about shooting a full torso simulated gel block, with skull, vertebrae, ribs, guts and simulated blood. You could look at the hydrostatic shock rounds do to the body. Slomo would be cool.

Fun trivia: In the early days of WW1, the Germans used steel plates to protect themselves from British fire, so the British took a bunch of elephant guns and pressed them into service, which were able to punch through them. They later evolved into the anti-tank and anti-material rifles we all know and love today.
EDIT: Now I'm wondering if someone makes Xtreme Penetrator rounds for .700 Nitro Express. I know .50AE hollow points don't go through 3A body armor, even though it will cause a ton of backface deformation, but .50AE Xtreme Hunters from Underwood will.
Source?
Someone made extreme penetrator for 12 gauge, which is nearly right for a 700 calibre (see taofledermous video), but they ain't LeHigh manufactured so you can't actually buy them. maybe if enough people want them, LeHigh will start making them ! BTW: the rounds went through 3x IIIA vests from a shotgun, so i'm guessing even better through an elephant gun.
The first anti-material rifle was invented by the Germans in 1916 and came to service in early 1918. They invented it because the normal rifle bullets didnt go through the tanks amour. Therefore it got the name „Tankgewehr M1918“.
@@HUNDEK0PF420 Which literally stands for "Tank Rifle". The Germans didn't have a word for tank in till the late 30s/earlier 40s (Panzer) so they just copied the British and called it "tank"

Literal knockdown power on that 700 NE! That’s impressive AF
Exactly. The 600 Nitro Express was your last chance to survive when out hunting smaller game and finding yourself facing a pissed off, charging bull elephant. The guide who my Grand Father hired [IIRC it was Harry Selby] when he went hunting in Africa in 1951 always carried one when in the bush, so I was told as a wee lad. MY GF took his own 600 to take a trophy bull. He succeeded. Very effective skull penetration, which is the key. A properly aimed head shot would drop the beast instantly with no worry he was just temporarily stunned. Story was that a 700 NE was difficult to impossible to fire accurately due to the recoil.
I wonder if the store employees ever question why Scott buys so many tables.
He has a table sponsor lol
I think they are more concerned when he stops ... lol
You can imagine the chatter between the staff when he walks in: ''Here's that bloke that collects tables again''😁
I'd say they might think he has a party supply business lol
@@xmlash234 Any "party" that goes through as many tables as Kentucky Ballistics is either into some really REALLY kinky stuff or has its own brewery.
Or both.

Would love to get my hands on an autographed, once fired, .700 Nitro Express case.
How about an epic video with Scott and a bunch of friends shooting "Big Boom Sticks" at some crazy targets, then auctioning off autographed casings and target remnants for an appropriate charity. Would make great wall-hangings and coffee table pieces.
Cool idea on the 20mm rifles. Also, try getting hold of the .950 JDJ. I want to see you with that brute.

That intro was a little sketchy. Technically, dinosaurs were not lizards. It mostly comes down to the nature of their hip joints. There is also speculation that dinos may have been warm blooded. But they were well known car jackers. You were spot on with that.

Oh, but it's okay for you to call them lizards as long as you say it in Greek? ("Dino-sauros" = "terrible lizard")

How much are they
The 700 has way less penetration than I would have expected. I guess it makes sense with the increased surface area/weight of the bullet vs the powder behind it. I'll bet the steel jacket is necessary to get what the penetration it does. to be extra fair though, the 458 was a brass solid, not lead with 2 jackets.
I love these elephant gun videos. Since no one ever shoots a 700 nitro, the gun community is getting very valuable information from your videos. 👍
In fairness it wasn’t solid brass like the other rounds…
Yeah, it mushroomed a ton.
I really think the rounds don't matter, the problem in this case is that it's just glass sitting on a table, mount that in a wall or car door where it can't just fall over and those pieces of glass would stand no chance against it. I'm not a bullet proof glass expert, but I know just enough about physics to know that the way the glass fell over took off tons of pressure (literally.)
I think it being so close skewed the results. The bullet didn’t have time to get up to speed.
@@DGTH1992 you're kidding right?
Of all the popular youtubers that do these types of videos, that intro made me laugh harder than any of them. Great content. Keep it up
Now you need the 950 JDJ “Fat Mac”

Might want to check out 950JDJ or 20mm ;)
Look up the old-school Punt Gun (40mm dia bullet!) that was used for hunting
This is all great stuff lol
Wow, I wasn't expecting those results; bulletproof glass is tougher than I thought! However, that 700 Nitro Express delivered one hell of a punch; that would make quite a mess of anything fleshy! 😆
After seeing the bowling ball video, I wanna see how much bullet proof glass the .460 Rigby will punch through. That thing was impressive

.950 JDJ is not an elephant gun cartridge and would be hugely impractical as one, given that a rifle chambered in that caliber weighs at least half of what an adult man weighs. Good luck shouldering that.

Hi Scott, glad to see your on the mend mate, please go careful breathing in glass dust, I was a glazier for 30years plus. Our bulletproof glass in the UK is 32mm thick made up of different laminated pieces and thickness. Keep up the great work from a Kenfolk in the UK 🇬🇧 👍🏻
I don’t really care WHAT you shoot….as long as it doesn’t involve military surplus ammo from decades ago. That leaves you plenty of options, but I get a little nervous in the service watching you do this stuff now.
🤦🏻♂️
Those are some crazy powerful guns !
Ik !
Scott you and I shared many mutual friend in Murray, KY. Karl and Kayla in particular. We’ve had a few beers together during those glory days. I had no idea that this had happened until I ran across your channel on FB. I’m glad you’ve made a full recovery and hope you continue to be safe doing what you clearly love to do. I’ve liked and subscribed brother. Love the tattoo.
Could you imagine having 700 nitro as a home defense weapon😂
Through your house and your neighbour’s.
Where tf must you live?! The Tyranid homeworld?
You probably wouldn’t even have to fire it. Anyone with an ounce of self preservation instinct would take one look at the thing and run for their life.
Hey. Why not? Home defense plus neighborhood security. Its a win win.

We're just glad you're healthy and your back
9:54 I could hear Scott singing "this... is... nessesary" from Tool 😂
"What's the fastest you spent $100?"
*"700 Nitro Express"*
Maybe because 700 NE is a flat fat round that lost its energy QUICK! wonder what a pointed tip brass solid would do. I don't know if there's such ammo at all or not but if there is, its gonna be epic.
I'm just happy that Scott is back. May God continue to bless his family and friends. 🙏💯
When all safety precautions are taken it’s ok to say...”hold my beer and watch this!”
Hey Scott glad to see that you recovered from the 50.cal explosion
No tags on those tables, better hope Fish and Game isn't around.
I think the plastic is supposed to be to the back because it's more flexible, so it'll prevent or minimize spalling of the glass
I wonder how much the muzzle velocity played a part in the terminal ballistics of each round? Perhaps the smaller diameter of the 458 and thinking it had the highest muzzle velocity of the 3. I would love to see those three calibers each having a custom turned ballistic tipped fmj compared to the rn used in the video. Curious. Love the content and the new ink! Keep on keeping on!
So much respect for you still putting out great content after your experience! Thank you for still entertaining us sir! 🇺🇸
The glass, already being fractured, acted much like sand grains. The forces at the impact point had much more surface area to dissipate energy into. Successive shots through laminated glass are never mere successful unless the amount of glass left in a given area has been depleted or their frame work has given way.
Because science.
I think you missed some key facts. The 458 and 500 rounds were solid brass and skinnier. The 700 was copper jacket, steel jacket underneath and lead core(from what I can find) not solid steel plus thicker. The last shot went what looked like the same distance as the first shot, even thought the glass was fractured already and acting like sand as you said. 700 round was fatter and softer than the other bullets and mushroomed and lost energy quicker. Your explanation to me, I'm for sure no scientist, doesn't make sense to me. In my simple mind, the more you shoot bullet proof glass the weaker it gets. From all the videos I've seen at least. It could be a factor though.
Yeah, and it's already broken too.
@@jasonkerekesch5012 The .458 also has about 300 FPS speed advantage. The round is skinnier.....the sectional density is a bit higher at I think .341 vs .293 for the .700 round. When you have both higher sectional density and velocity the difference in penetration on hard surfaces can be dramatic.
@@jasonkerekesch5012 it gets weaker as you chip away but the sand thing still applies. It gets a little better at negating force then eventually you chip away enough that you just go straight through
I love watching your old videos and comparing them to your new ones. The evolution of your personality really comes out.
Basing it all off of the famous formula E=1/2(m(v^2)), I think its safe to say that the 700 nitro is probably relying more on the m part. This means with a slower velocity it will penetrate less but dump more energy in a localized area, more energy per unit length I guess. However the smaller round which I cannot remember, is faster (I think) and so by relying on the v^2 component, it can have more energy but will spread that energy over a longer distance as it penetrates further.
So the 458 Lott has at the heaviest, a 500 grain projectile. That's 32 grams. Multiply by the square of 700 m/s then halved gives a kinetic energy of 7840 joules. The 700 nitro at 1000 grain is 65 grams and travels at 610m/s. This yields a kinetic energy of around 12093. So interestingly, the 700 nitro still has the most energy. I do think though that the fact that there is more mass still results in less penetration than the other.
And the 700 Nitro doesn’t have enough firepower on the primer, so it doesn’t ignite all the gunpowder, resulting in lower firepower
You should get the Ballistic Machinist to make some brass bullets for the .700 Nitro Express and try this again!
Or titanium.
Those will also work! I was mainly intending it to be an even comparison to the other two rounds he shot that did penetrate the first piece of glass.
Any ammo designed to penetrate armour is a federal crime for public use or sale, last I checked.
@@nicolatesla768 That would make tons of gun channels felons because so many people are using AP rounds for the .50 BMG. I'm not saying you're wrong; I'm just saying that there's got to be more to the story than that.

Apart from the fact its a T-Rex mugging you, could you imagine someone rollin' up on you and pulling out a flippin' elephant gun lmfao
The only thing I'll say is when shooting into the broken glass, its less sturdy in a way, it bends more and absorbs more energy. I doubt the results would of changed much though. Love the video!!
