    It's amazing to me to see the pellet moving into the target zone...in slo-mo, it looks like it's gently falling, like someone lobbed it underhand at the target. It is always a mental 'snap!' to remember that we ARE watching slo-mo, and that, although it looks like it's just barely moving, at that instant it is still traveling at several hundred feet per second, and carrying a good deal of energy to disperse upon impact. This 'perception' of slo-motion I used to include in my classes when I taught an intro to Physics, and about how the viewer's distance causes this distorted perception of speed/distance....like the way an airplane looks like it's just 'crawling' across the sky when it is actually traveling at 400mph+.
    It is called 'relative motion'. We had a lot of fun with this in my classes.

    I tried them in a gamo break barrel and while they shot great out to 45yds it didn't have enough speed to expand so they where just hole punchers, but if you want to shoot slugs in a break barrel the rifle brand .22 light 18.21gr get pretty extremely good expansion inside 20 yds and has impressive energy transfer and hydro shock at 45yds

    So this may sound like a stupid question, but I have a Hatsan Flashpup QE Synthetic .22 cal. Can I run slugs through it? Or do I need a specific slug barrel like on a shotgun? I would like to try them on larger game on my ranch due to the heavier grain projectile. Right now I'm running JSB Diablo 18.13 gr pellets w/excellent accuracy but would like that knockdown power behind it. I have some fat raccoons tearing up my deer feeders and a very large sounder of pigs with a number of smaller cookers that don't really need the 7.62×39 or .308 treatment.

    • @AirRifleActivities
      @AirRifleActivities  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey, buddy. Some airgun brands do manufacture what they call slug barrels. But we shoot the HN slugs out of CZ barrels and they perform great both in .22 and in .25.
      With your Hatsan I suggest you get different brands of slugs and different weight and sizes - to test and see if any of them would shoot well out of your Turkish barrel. You should also try them in different velocities, but I don't know if your gun gives you the possibility to adjust the power setting...

    Hi, I just got the Gamo Swarm Magnum. What pellets/slugs do you recommend for Maximum damage?

    • @AirRifleActivities
      @AirRifleActivities  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey. Firstly, I'm not sure you'll be able to shoot slugs well out of a break barrel. I suggest you stick to pellets. You may try some light slugs, but I doubt there'll be any accuracy.
      Speaking of accuracy, you must make sure your gun is accurate not only one that causes damage. My advice to you is get as many of the JSB and H&N models as you can and test them out of your gun to see which one works best.

      The clay is just a regular synthetic clay for modelling. If it were natural clay, the damage would've been greater. Play dough - we tried that. One shot only and we could barely scrape it off the targets and walls 🤣 No more.

    I have the Taipan Vetran Standard ... its a great gun ... It feels like owning a Rolex :) I shot many doves with H&N 23 gr slugs, 218 ... but I could never have a good group ! it does not group. Then I tries the NSA 20.2 gr slugs ... .216 ... they group very well .. The group great. My problem is that the point of impact keep on changing ... on one target it is to the left ... the other target it is to the right ... then up ... and down ... how to solve this problem? by the way, what is the barrel in your gun? I have the CZ barrel , I think 470mm.

    • @AirRifleActivities
      @AirRifleActivities  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey there, mate. If it is a Standard, then the barrel on your gun is 450 mm.
      NSA slugs are harder to come by in Europe and more expensive due to those silly tariff wars between the US and the EU. That's why I chose the German-made H&N slugs and they turned out to perform great.
      I don't know at what distance you shoot your groups and at what distance you shoot doves, but you should bear in mind that quite often slugs spiral in the first part of their flight and stabilize at a greater distance - quite contrary to most diabolo pellets 😉
      The barrel in the Taipan we shot in that video is the long barrel they sell for Taipans - 550 mm CZ. But know that the crown of the barrel was terrible and we had to find a machinist and fix it.
