Hi!
i love ur videos dude
Wood bullets is crazy 😂
You should test out like spaced armour for body armour
Hello scott
I dunno about wooden bullets, but one time I bought a car made out of wood. Wooden wheels, wooden body, wooden engine, wooden doors, wooden seats, wooden everything. But when I put the wooden key in the wooden ignition, darn thing wooden start.
😂
I was expecting it to be an actual working car
Saw that coming, but it's funny anyhow! Ha ha ha!
Long way to go for a joke
LoL
My father was a soldier in WW2 . One of the few things he told me, was that they used training ammo with wooden projectiles. During one training mission one soldier stepped upon a tank to throw a smoke grenade into it. One of the Soldiers inside fired at him with one of the wooden training rounds, he thought they are harmless. The soldier outside took it into the chest which was torn open and was dead before he reached the ground..I don’t know why he told me that, but it had clearly made a deep impression on him.
they are supposed to have a muzzle device that shreds them up when using them for training
the germans were even using them in late stages of the war for actual combat, as they were having material shortages.
He might have needed to get that off mind
My father went to Georgia Milltary College in the early 60's and they would go out and do field training with the different companies. While out in one of these exercises, he was the platoons scout and he was watching the "enemy" platoon maneuver through a swamp. Well about the time their lead scout made it to him, he jumped up and informed him he was now a prisoner, this while the rest of his platoon had opened up and ambushed the "enemy" platoon. Well this young man didn't seem to accept that he had been caught and proceeds to fire his M1 beside my dad's head.
My dad had many good traits, but his temper wasn't one of them. With a sever ringing in his ear, he proceeds to raise his muzzle up just a smidgen and touches his M1 off about 18 inches from this young man's privates. As one who has worked with blanks knows, the little paper material came flying out and outright ruined his social life for the next few weeks. Dad said the last they saw of him was on a stretcher with his pants cut off and a buldge the size of a basketball in the area where his social life revolved. The kids ended up dropping out of school the next week and last dad heard, he was going to a liberal arts college taking journalism.
Not as deep an impression as on the guy that that got shot, though.
I’d be curious to see these used in regular ballistic gel to see what the splintering looks like.
Oh my goodness yes, I can imagine the splintering being catastrophic!💥😖👍
that indeed would be interesting
10:20 ‘it’s in there deep’ ‘Oooh yeah!’
My family back in Romania used wooden bullets for the longest time. It was highly effective and saved my family (and how I'm here) on many occasions against vampires.

"Sketchy ammo" that line cracked me up, nice seeing Scott being humorous over his near death experience.
Glad to see you're being safe about sketchy rounds Scott we need you around for a long time to come!
My great-grandfather told me stories on how the Germans used wood bullets in WW2 near the end of the war, he said they would splinter causing horrific wounds and was almost impossible to tend to, especially on the battlefield.
Yeah, it seems like a pain- round which are war crimes for the same reason as serrated weapons and torture, less letality, more pain. Usually you just want less of both for less lethal rounds.
@@Hixoltage seems more like a desperation-round to me.
Russians also used wooden projectiles..

@@Volklin8888 America just printed it's money on steel to free up more bullets to shoot the axis with. I bring that up all the time to neo Nazis when they talk patriotic stuff. I also have a handful of those steel pennies
A wood bullet? Now that’s something I didn’t know existed. Scott keeps teaching me more strange things. Instead of shrapnel it’s splinters lol. Keep up the great work Scott! :)
We're used for training in 6.5x55 by Swiss and Japanese in ww2 islands
@@coryschober8999 Really? That’s neat! I thought that they were just some goofy bullet, like some of the others Scott has made videos of. I didn’t know they were that old. Thanks for the info! :)
They were used in lieu of blanks for training. Supposedly they would (pun intended!) disintegrate about 10 feet from the barrel.
The Germans used wooden bullets to train with before WW II and that started a rumor among Americans that German snipers were using wooden bullets.
@@mattthemouse1 That’s cool! I can see why it was used, they would (pun fully intended too lol) work just as well as blanks.
What did you think about the wooden bullets? I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
Hello Scott
I love ur videos dood
Pretty cool
I love you & your work brother, thank you for always putting a smile on my face when I need it the most ✝️❤️

The shotgun was surprisingly the most devastating, if you have no skull, then it’s pretty much game over 😂 also did you see how the brain remained level after the log crush and the rest was torn away from it? Wtf! Keep up the good work Scott!
Let’s get Scott to 4 million subs! I want to see what’s in store!
Just imagine getting most of your skullcap shot away and still being conscious. You'd look like that alien from Mars Attacks.
@@4evaavfci don’t think wood bullets can do that
The humour while loading the .50 is just amazing. Pure gold. "Ahhh memories" 🤣🤣 love it!
I absolutely love watching Scott being totally random like pulling out a bowling pin and hitting his giant metal rooster
In the Finnish army they use wooden bullets with a blank-firing adapter in some training exercises. The blank-firing adapter breaks the wood apart, so the safe zone is 5-30 meters, depending on the gear you are using.
Oh and the blank-firing adapter also helps the rifle cycle when using blanks
The official range is 30 meters and beyond but in reality the fragments don't do anything even if fired and point blank range against someone.

14:50 Kentucky Ballistics going through a little PTSD looking at that .50 you are a legend
I love the commitment to the bit, doing massive damage at the end using WOOD!
The worst part is that wood does not show up on an x-ray very well or at all. So if you survived and made it to the hospital, they would definitely be leaving some parts in you.
Potentially causing a nasty, potentially life-threatening infection
Oof
I think your body could eventually deal with those splinters on its own though, which it couldn't do with normal bullets.
@@GuyFromJupiter It would push some out. Larger ones would get crazy infected and make you crazy sick
@@GuyFromJupiterWood splinters are infection central…
I think Scott has passive damage buffs. The rounds seemed to do more damage when he fired them while holding the guns.
+50% firearm damage🔥🔥🔥
Hi Scott from the UK. My grandfather was in the home guard in Ww2 in a rural part of the country. As well as the Lee Enfield issued most of the guard were rural workers. They were taught to open the shotgun cartridges and pour wax into them to make a deformable semi solid slug. Very much against the rules of war but if the German warmachine had made it to my home town 120 miles from the south things would have been a bit tricky.
Can we talk about how funny that intro was?!? One of the best in a while.
The German army in the 1930-1940's actually used wooden bullets as training rounds. They had a specific adaptor that would go over then end of the barrel to "shred" the wooden projectile but still have enough back pressure to cycle the MG34's. Similar to the US Army using the BFA and blanks to simulate combat.
Not only the Germans used wooden bullits as training rounds. The Brits and the Dutch did the same. The Dutch without a adaptor at the end of the barrel. The wood was very soft and desintregated when beeing shot. Some troops used to let the bullit point soak in oil for 48 hours, result the bullit didn't desintregate and hurt like hell (yes they used it to shoot at eachother). I've some 303 Britisch wooden rounds in my ammo collection.
@@bartb7790 Finnish army still does, I've used the stuff many times during my time there. We were not allowed to shoot at anyone inside 50m range to avoid splinters, also if the adapter was poorly fastened it flew off and would certainly cause some/a lot of damage. US uses only blanks?
As did the Swedish army, wooden bullets and a clamp on muzzle-shredder, the wooden bullets would cycle an M45 K-pist just fine.
@@TheLazyFinn"US uses only blanks"
Yeah. Why bother with machining wooden bullets when you can just crimp the end of the brass closed? You can get the back pressure you need by just pushing the gas through a smaller hole, hence the adapter.
I guess I can *maybe* see one advantage - I'm not too sure if brass used for blanks can be easily reloaded. I genuinely have no idea on that.
@@ColonelSandersLite No idea, I guess it's something about simulating the real things?wooden bullets cycle easier?dunno
The splinters have elevated these rounds to the Hyper Lethal category
I believe, although I'm not a doctor, that they might elevate straight to "War Crime" status... Because any round that can't be detected with MRI or X-Ray, qualify, for being inhumane.
Scott,
When you fired the .50 seeing ur truck with the bed liner as paint made me think of a Avocado 😂
I’m sure that’s not what we’re going for but yes.
My dad served under Patton, in WW2. I recall him telling about a soldier being shot by a wooden bullet. According to his story, it did not stop him, but after the battle, he was down a while having splinters removed from his backside. He told a lot of stories, this is the only one I had doubts about. Now I totally believe it, thank you.
I don't think I've seen a TH-camr who enjoys what they do as much as Scott does. Really transfers the energy through the video and helps make my day a little better :) Thanks Scott!
Couldn't have said it better. He really does! 😂

I love the energy and spirit of pure fun he brings to it. Even his videos post RN50 detonation while on a sober topic had that same energy that makes it so engaging to watch his videos.
Never thought I would see Scott finger blasting a ballistic dummy yelling "oh that's deep". Thanks for making my day 😂
Been looking for this comment
I’m glad you posted this so I didn’t have to
You just made me think of a wicked new way to play paintball.
The only thing needed is a few rules and a coverall set made from that same or similar kevlar as the bullet catcher.
Shooting wooden bullets you shoukdn't get penetration and if you colored or tipped the bullets with chalk or a dye pack you could shoot targets and tag them.
Maybe using a fluorescent and maybe glow in the dark dyes?
Another idea for you to try, the triple X experimental bullets, if you could make em they would make for a fun test.
Heh, the exploding tip would be wicked on glue or cheese!
Fella you need to make the bullet tips from osage orange tree at the bottom of the tree itself. The grain is omni directional. The tip will stay together really well for an accurate test
I did Finnish Military service in 1989. We used wooden bullets with breaker on Valmet RK-62's on training exercises. Shot hundreds of them, they had little less recoil than the real thing and occasionally caused a misfire on full auto which never happened on hard ammo. With the breaker they did make a total mess out of the barrel and seemed to speed up the rusting so thorough cleaning was always necessary after shooting them. So of course some guys would just pretend to be shooting so they didn't have to clean up afterwards.
How does one successful pretend to fire a weapon?
make sounds with mouth and hope that they dont notice@@ShrockWPS
@@Scp-wh2qe
Ha! I just imagine some private out there "Goosh Goosh Goosh!!"
Angry Cops would have a field day 🤣🤣
@@ShrockWPSInquiring minds want to know
@@ShrockWPS Not really needed most of the time, just swap full mag to empty mag with friend and your done. Nobody really cared enough to see if you were firing, or even if they spotted you not firing, as long as majority of the people fired. Like if you had 50 people firing, 5-10 not firing isnt gonna make much difference to the exercise, as its essentially like shooting with blanks, even if you were to aim at people, they wont know you would have hit them, its just to simulate being fired upon so people know they taking fire with ear protection on, without exercise holders having to go tell each or do it "broken phone game" style, wouldnt really make ambush simulation very effective if it would take people like 1min to even find out they are being fired at. As long as officers werent near to see you not shoot or see you clearly swap mags, they didnt care. Most of the time, they knew who didnt fire and who did when it came time to clean the guns, but they didnt care as long as it didnt cause issues, since it less work for them, as they didnt need to tell you to clean the gun again several times, most were honestly happy about it, because it meant less work for them
Scott, wood bulkets have been around for quite a while, so nothing new here. They were recommended back in late 60's and early 70's as home defense rounds because they don't penetrate very deeply but do create massive flesh wounds. They were used mainly out of revolvers, which is pprobably why they gave fallen out of favor these days. I did quite a bit of testing with them back in the early 70"s and used exotic hardwoods such as teak and oak, which was available as several diameter dowels . They have very little recoil due to the light weight of the bullets but do damage far beyond what you might first imagine. I made the bullets on a poor man's lathe, that is, a drill motor and sand paper! They were able to withstand some fairly high velocities, according to the data I had. Most were in a full wadcutter profile with the front edge beveled to make loading easier. They were amazingly accurate as well, although I never did any testing beyond 5 to 10 yards. Using powders such as Bullseye they made a lot of noise and had fair muzzle blast as well, certainly enough to get the intended target's attention! I should make a few more and see what kind of velocities they are actually getting! Interesting project, I think!
Cheers,
jc
Send him some if you do!
Did you just call oak an "exotic" hardwood?
How is oak exotic it is everywhere
I'm only halfway through - but I'm starting to hypothesize that the wooden bullets fired into the torso are getting caught in "body fat/muscle", while those fired into the head have very little skin to slow them down and are absolutely smashing bone upon contact.
Zombie analog bones are also alot more brittle when compared to real bone. Real bone would likely be penetrated too but it would hold it's shape with minimum damage. Examples of pistol rounds hitting people who need surgery msot of the time the skull is intact expect fot he entrance and the immidiate vicinity of the wound.
The Japanese Army used wooden bullets in their machine guns for training practice before and during WWII. A lot of American soldiers brought them home from the Pacific Theater, but they would break and sometimes do so horribly because the wood bullet firing MGs were designed to ONLY use wood bullets.
I’m absolutely loving the creative ways you’re using the dummies after you’re done shooting them. We’ve all seen them shot to oblivion, but watching a log drop on it was satisfying. I hope there’s more destructive/creative content headed our way. Thank you for doing what you do!
I really had NO idea that the wooden rounds were going to penetrate as much as they did. I really thought they'd come apart in the barrel or just disintegrate from the heat. Awesome!
I would have guessed they would be wildly inaccurate
Ipe normally has a Rockwell equal to around that of Iron. Fire Harden the Ipe and it can go from 70 to 75, up to 90 if done right. I've had mild success, but has a tendency to vary. Heat, Cold, Wood Grain, how deep it's buried, how long it's buried, and a couple more can the deciding factors of how good of a Fire Hardening you get. I do believe there are some methods to keep the process consistent.
Why woodn't they penetrate? They still have mass and are travelling very fast. Its barking mad not expect damage. But enough of my bad punnage, i will leaf you alone. I am impressed at home many types of ammo scott can branch out to. But we, are his deep rooted fanbase and are here for all of it.
Omg I had to rewind that intro to see tactical t-rex get hit by the car like 10 times... lmao... Scott these videos are getting better and better.
I looked back when he made a video how is 50 cal exploded and how he has healed and come back stronger than ever hope you stay safe and have fun
In WW2, the Japanese used wooden bullets because of how scarce their lead supply was during the war. My dad's childhood doctor(he was also a biologist and a combat medic) shipped the body of a Japanese soldier back to the States. It was complete with uniform, different types of gear, rifle, and wooden bullets. My dad's doctor has since passed away and his home has been made into a museum of all the things he collected overseas.
What happened to the Japanese soldier's body?
@@zaptainkuboom5520 When my dad's doctor showed me, it was in a closet. It was a skeleton wired together wearing the uniform along with all the soldier's gear. You could see the bullet hole in the skull. As far as I know, it's still in this man's house which is now a local museum. The doctor found the dead soldier when he shot a bat he wanted to add to his collection. The bat landed on top of a hill where the Japanese soldier was sniping US troops.

@@johnmarkfeiger-no5ri For sure, but cool as hell. Couldn't get away with that today.
Very interesting!
I think the best part of this channel is that even if you know absolutely nothing about firearms, it's still really entertaining (and occasionally extremely educational).
17:29 probably one of the most successful pointblank 50 bmg shots ever
I love how you combine entertainment with education in the aspect of firearms. You should do something along the lines of a 50 Cal showdown between all 50 caliber cartridges. Also, it would be really awesome if you could get your hands on a 20 mm Vulcan. I think you could do some really cool videos with it!!!
We built a deck for a psychiatrist about 15 years ago out of ipe. Had to drill every single hole for the screws or they would twist and break off. Extremely dense and heavy! Deck still looks as amazing today as it did the day we finished it! Great video!
Edit : you don't want to get a splinter from Ipe, it sucks!
It's also used for the tracks on some wooden roller coasters 🎢
Seems like teak would be a better and cheaper option.
well i don't know much about the different type of woods but if i would have to guess it would be easier for harder and more dense types of wood to splinter, this would take away energy from the projectile... don't get me wrong i would LOVE the idea of a non lethal round for a shot gun that would give splinters (reason being its more difficult to remove)
My Sensei used that kind of wood to make wooden staffs for self defense
Ipe is no joke you do have to pre drill it and it dulls bits crazy fast for wood , very dense wood very stable, I’d probably use iron wood for bullets
Actually quite impressive how well they held together. I was thinking maybe a less lethal at first but.. yeah... 😂
That slug round was absolutely bananas 😮
I just got my bag thank you and the patch is on my vest looking cool.

The German WW2 Rifle Grenades were launched by putting a round with a wooden bullet in the chamber and then attaching the grenade launcher to the K98 rifle. You then just had to put the rifle grenade in the launcher and fire the wooden round. The wooden round then hit the back of the rifle grenade and together with the gases it launched them pretty far.
I would have hated to have been the first guy to test that set up out...
Right at the end of the war Allies were finding themselves under fire from them as well from desperate defenders
@@Bobbymaccys That is true, but the main reason was that the Germans were taking it easy on the US and British troops. Explosive sniper or MG rounds were forbidden to be used on the Western front, they were used against the Russians only.
They use wooden rifle rounds in the Finnish military all the time. We put a muzzle block on the end of the rifle barrel and the wood hits it. You need the stop to produce enough pressure to fire in semi-auto/auto with the RK95 rifles.
We used them for group practices where we could essentially fire “at” each other safely.
That slow mo at the end with the log was epic. Definitely don’t want a log falling on me lol.
really neat seeing that the bullets actually worked. I was a tad disappointed because I thought the bullet that would be the most effective as wood would be 12 gauge BUCK shot, but Scott used a slug instead. Still really cool seeing this.
No one on TH-cam can be as fun, pedagogue and violent as Scott.
That log clearly showed that wood can be lethal.
It certainly showed that it wood be a useful way of debraining a zombie with a cracked skull!
Scott fingering the 'zombie' ballistic gel torso multiple times is hilarious!
That shot at the end, the jello-brain just catapulting out of the skull *Chef's Kiss*
Out of curiosity I took a peek to see how much those zombie torsos costs. They go for roughly $3,300. And Scott brings a new one in on so many episodes. That's dedication, right there. I respect it.
Pretty sure the manufacturer provides them or at least heavily discounts them for him, in exchange for the name drop and advertisement every video. Would make sense, anyway.
He definitely gets a good deal on them and worth it because he makes over Six figures doing fun youtube videos!
I also wanted to know how much they cost and here you are commenter #4, doing the lord's work.
@Majima_Nowhere I know a YTer who uses them (not Scott). They get a discount, but it's not massive.

The first I’d heard of wooden bullets was in the WWII game ‘Sniper Elite 5’ in which wooden rounds (for pistols, rifles, and SMGs) are used as non-lethal rounds to incapacitate enemies instead of killing outright.
Shotguns in this game use rock salt shells for non-lethal rounds.
I’d figured wooden SMG rounds were outlandish but until I saw this video I’d thought wooden pistol and rifle rounds were fiction as well.
Learn something new everyday.😊
No joke, 5.11 makes some fantastic pants. Wore one pair almost everyday for about 10 months at an agricultural mill plant. Ended with one hole worn in the back packet where I clipped my flashlight . They don't hold up to welding though.
Hey Kentucky ballistics I just wanted to let you know that all ur vidoes have gotten me through some tough mental games ur vidoes have provided me hours of entertainment to take the thoughts off of the hell I'm dealing with watermelon time always makes me smile whenever I'm depressed and bobs big boom sticks always seems to make me laugh and my day seems to have a positive outcome im not expecting you to respond but I just wanted to let you know that your videos have kept me from anxiety attacks and panic attacks ur vidoes have been comfort for me and I just wanted to thank you for all that you've done so far I know It seems weird a gun channel of all things would help anxiety but it has ty so much for the years of content you have provided and ty for the peace and serenity that ur videos have provided for me keep up the great work and I look forward to watching further videos in the future
Great video as always, Scott. The fact that you still joke about the accident shows how much of a chad you are. Keep being awesome. God bless.
The wooden 9mm would leave tons of fragments. As opposed to a 9mm FMJ. Also, it seems that it wouldn't leave the body. So this is pretty much perfect if you wanna cause damage with a bad after effect, yet not affectimg anything beyond the target. Because it'd be hard to pick out all the splinters
I’m also assuming that a wood bullet wouldn’t leave any kind of ballistic signature 🤔
Can’t be a Kentucky ballistics video without the edited in explosion😂😂😂
Takes getting a splinter to the next level
I did not think a wooden rounds would actually do that much damage. This video also got me thinking, See what kind of damage a Blunderbuss can do and what kind of strange stuff you can shoot out of them.
6:19 Scott's reaction to seeing how effective that 9mm wooden bullet is 💀😂 absolutely priceless
honestly. tuned into this because i was trying to remember the sponsor for scott that had those shoes, and amazingly on the latest upload! gotta love those fun coincidences! and yea wood ammo was way more destructive than i thought that'd be
"Sketchy ammo" gave me a few flashbacks too. Don't want the neck tingles to come back again!
I couldn’t have been the only one hoping for a wooden 4 bore attempt.
I mean, he did use a gun with "FOR GAGE" written on it - that's close, right?
(it was the 12 gauge)
One of the interesting ammo you´ve shown in a really long time, I really think that wood ammo would be perfect for people starting out shooting, due to the complete lack of recoil. I really like how careful and serious you take safety- We don´t want any more close calls!
Perfect for beginning shooters minus all the malfunctions they'd cause
In military we train alot with wooden ammo. Its great for practise
I highly recommend re-watching the Dino Jump at quarter speed. That was hilarious! 🤣
Saturday i got me a Rock Island Armory 12 gauge Mag-Fed Pump shotgun, and i fell in love with it today, i loooove it, gotta get a drum mag for it now.😎🇺🇸
15:11 I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!
I would say that they're somewhat less lethal given the low mass and propellant, it certainly wouldn't do much of anything against armour, but the complications from getting shot would be truly horrific. Not only does the victim have to deal with regular fragmentation but with the sharp splinters going everywhere to pierce organs and get lodged you would also be dealing with severe infections. Wooden bullets would make for a truly fantastic poison delivery system though, if you could soak the bullet in that liquid poison, the sheer number of splinters would ensure a wide area of delivery that will guarantee a death even if you do not manage to deliver an otherwise fatal shot.
_Edit: To be crystal clear these are just idle thoughts, I'd never employ them._

The whole tree caliber bazooka is impressive.
That jump scare. Lol. Loving it, Scott, you starting to be more and more like a comedy club, in a good way of course.
Fun fact, Shadowrun actually has Wood Bullets due to some things having severe wood allergies. Guess they do more than just trigger the allergy.
"some things"
It's vampires, isn't it?
Scott, I'm amazed how you managed to consistently set everything every gun in that sled while keeping such a tight spread!
In ww2 grandpa got hit right on the red cross on his helmet by a tin jacketed wooden bullet. It pierced the helmet but then just gave him a buncha splinters and a cut from the jacket...
and a headache...
"But apparently uhh, you get hit in the head with a wood 9 mm, it wouldn't be a good day for you."
Thanks, Scott. I thought the zombie was taking a nap.
I don't know why, but that sentence floored me lmao
Scott was trying to give us a little bit of fan service when he was digging for the slug. We appreciate it greatly!
Every guys first "time"
thats real murica guy. matt cryin. hello from Russia. ps we have more wood
I thought he was gonna stick a thumb in it and give us a wink 😅
You know Scott is genuine because of how he uses his new crane; just like a guy with a new toy, he wants to play with it as much as he can. ;) That and his laugh whenever he takes a moment to reflect on the silly things he's doing, like putting a .50 BMG to shoot a ballistic torso point-blank.
Hahahaha the way he screamed while the log was falling 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
14:50 - memories … 😂
what a sense of humor!
Love how safe you are scott, especially after what happened a couple years ago
Scott should try different types of wood bullets that have different densitities and oil/sap content. That would be pretty interesting to see.
Just go all out, lignum vitae.
I grew up around guns and gun safety. This channel/ guy brings a smile to my face every post
The stuff with the cranes only happens on this channel its just great honestly
Hearing the word Epi (Wood used for these rounds) just hit me like a Vietnam flashback. I had to try to make a set of cabinets with this wood with my father when I was younger. Lets just say that unless you predrill everything you will never get a screw to sink into it. This stuff is like working with stone. It doesn't float. It doesn't burn. Bugs won't touch it. I used to have a few pieces of it that were left outside and they didn't rot. That wood is probably the best thing ever for building a deck, just heed my warning of predrilling every hole as you will go through a LOT of drill bits just doing that with this stuff.
The cabinets just didn't work out as well. This stuff didn't want to sit still and would break the screws that was inside of the wood for the face frame. Though I still laugh when I think back to when my father's grey hair was bleached blonde by the sawdust due to the oils in this wood.
It's Ipe just so you know for next time 👍
👍🏻
Some impressive results for the most part. I'm guessing most of these are similar to cowboy loads and not full power to help keep the wood intact and even still had issues with full powder burn. Also the rounds are so light they probably move pretty quick. Would like to see them tested to see how fast they move
mans really out here living the best life.... i didnt even know i could feel more left behind in life... but here we are.
I don’t know how I ended up watching gun videos but this is perhaps one of the most entertaining youtube channels in existence and he is hilarious
Glass bullets encased in a protective metal casing (to prevent shattering in the barrel) could be interesting.
Maybe the tip should be exposed with the protective metal casing surrounding it, a-la jacketed soft point rounds, just so the effect on target the glass has is maximized?
The smaller wood round seems like it'd be better for spreading infection with all the splintering that happens. Imagine if there was some kind of coating on the round, it would be pretty difficult if not impossible to get all those fragments out and cleaned
I reckon still better than lead poisoning...
Welcome to medieval era areows. We shall coat them in what ever poop we can find.
@@maninthesnow4393 Just sticking these in the ground on a firing position will do just fine.
I'm thinkin that's prolly a Geneva violation, eh?
i don't know if they still use them but some police departments and correctional facilities used wooden bullets as less than lethal options and the British used them for training in ww2.
Hey Kentucky Ballistics hope your having a good week love the videos keep up the good work
I've heard stories of German troops in WW2 using ammo loaded with wood bullets in combat after the German arms industry ran out of mote conventional projectile material due to air raids. From what I've heard, the wood bullets worked just fine.
Sure they still were ''made in germany'' that's all what is needed to make things work fine 😂😂
This rumor got fed during WWII by US soldiers who came across German and Japanese service blanks. I too have heard this from WWII veterans. Both Germany and Japan used wood bullet service blanks. No scraping the barrel production here. They were simply blank ammunition to be used in training. During the early morning of June 6, 1944, some German units were on training maneuvers. As US paratroopers encountered these so armed enemy soldiers, the rumor mill began. The US had not used wooden bullet blanks for many decades, thus our soldiers were not familiar with them.

No, I actually know of somebody who captured a German sniper rifle during the Battle of the Bulge and found it to be loaded with ammo that had wood bullets.
It would've been interesting to see how accurate the rifle bullets would've been from a distance.
Super good video ! Eow that was a great " EL-- Squisho" with the log !
I can already hear the vampires quivering in fear of these wooden bullets…
Wood bullets vs ballistic gel. It would be interesting to see how they fly and how far a point blank fifty will actually go
I've seen glass bullets before, be awesome to see what damage they'll do.
Scott’s laugh is the main reason I watch
