    It's my understanding that YT now prevents people from using ad-blockers, which I don't agree on, but to lessen the annoyance of the ads I removed about 4 mid-roll ads that YT automatically stuck in there. If I can I still make a little money with fewer ads, I can probably remove more ads. Remember, the ads help pay my bills so I appreciate your understanding.

      Not only impressive, but rich in potential. You could drill a hole in the stack, shove in a nail and bind it all together with putty. You can cut notches in the Pennie’s for potentially better flight, plus, the way they’re rounded, you could fit wax and shot in a chamber made with 2 pennies for more weight, again drilling a hole through the center to keep the chamber connected to the penny stack.

    From now on, if you use hot glue, I think you should be obligated to use some glitter as well! Once the glue cures, you might be able to tap a stainless screw through the nose for a possible penetrator. Also, if you plan to continue testing on this line and want to boost velocity but are worried about flight separation, you might be able to maximize the glue effect by sticking the formed slugs in an Easy-Bake-Oven nose down for a bit to help even out coverage. GREAT video! Thanks guys! Be safe out there.

  • @Odinfang
    @Odinfang ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I’m so proud you cracked the code on using coin currency as ammunition bud. I’d love to see you experiment on other coins. Even unglued, the pennies fly in a great column to mimic a slug. Rounding them like you did desperately needs more experimentation with other metals. I hope some machinists at watching and devising what’s best described here as a rounded disk column load.
    Edit: after more views and brainstorming, I realize that you could drill a hole through the center of the stack and fit a nail or core inside, using putty to keep it all together. Plus, the way the pennies are rounded, you can also put two together to make a chamber you can fill with wax and shot for more weight, using a nail to again hold it all together.

    The original Minie round had the grooves in it for the same sort of self stabilization aero effect. If you look at the grooves on an original Minie round, they look similar to the edges of your stacked dimpled pennies.

    This video really caught my eye because I had just remodeled my bedroom and ran out of washers I need for some of the trim. A bag of 6-10 washers is just over a dollar before tax. Pennies cost a penny each if you drill a hole in the middle, and look much cooler.

      Thank! There's a ton of possibilities with these. Something you might even try. Glue 2 or 3 together so they eventually separate at 30 yards or so and become multiple projectiles, etc. A stack of 16 or 20 pennies is possible, etc.

    There was some pretty impressive performances today from everything & everybody involved with todays ballistic experiment . Jeff's inventive brain conceived and allowed him to create a surprisingly accurate slug for literally pennies . OG once again showed that for all the ribbing He gets about his shooting his aim is spot on and the consistency of results proves the hits weren't just luck , and his sense of humour really exemplifies the fun so many shooters get from this great hobby/sport. Well done Guys . Thank You for yet another excellent entertaining and informative tutorial on the ballistic capabilities of unusual projectiles . Catch You next time . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well .

He reminds me of my best friends grandpa, just on the edge of inappropriate but always funny. Keep up the good work guys.
