      @@regsparkes6507 I was about to say "Ya'll should retired the lead plate, but never repour that one since it was Danny's last".
      ... Then I thought about it for a moment and realized JUST HOW MUCH lead it'd take to cast a *_new_* one, and that was the end of it.
      That being said, yes, they DO have the technology, as thankfully Danny donated everything he used to make them _(as well as lots of other helpful stuff)_ -- whatever that entails exactly, some sort of burner, as well as the cast for it (a cast iron pan, presumably?)
      Thanks, Danny! *_*pours one out*_*

    DAMN I love Greg and his insane wit. Forget the slugs, forget the slo-mo, forget everything about the videos. He is the star of the show.
    Greg, if you're reading this, I would highly recommend you become a stand-up comedian when you retire from the force. The tales of being a LEO combined with your sharp sense of humor would easily attract people from all over the nation. Yes, I am here mainly for the firearms, but you're the one that has kept me coming back since your first appearance. Much love, brother.
    While I'm at it;
    Jeff, thank you for introducing us to such a wide cast of characters over the years. Greg and Danny (RIP to the legend, his spirit is still with us) have been a staple, and Breanna is a very welcome addition. Whatever ended up happening with Nick though? I hope he is doing well.

    Alexey's designs are amazing, the penetrate anything like it's made of cotton candy and dump insane amounts of energy in soft targets. I would say it's a perfect home defense round, you can defend every room from any point in town without even getting up from your seat.
    And one final remark: When Gregg shoots that 2.5 ounce slug, you can see how strongly the gun starts to move backwards and the barrel twists before the slug even leaves it. Breanna and her sister are really great shots to hit their targets.

    I just always enjoy watching these videos, great job as always Taofledercrew!
    Jeff's & Gregg's comments reminded me of some comments by viewers ages ago about there being no such thing as a "rifled shotgun barrel." I grew up in Michigan and rifled shotgun 'slug barrels' are popular for deer hunting as we couldn't use a rifle in the lower part of Michigan for deer. So here is a free tip to my fellow viewers (and yes it is what I find myself doing as well from time to time): if you see/hear some particular comment in a video that is contrary to what you know, research it a little before you comment that way you have information that is helpful and its backed up by others. It still may not be true so be wary of where you get your info but its better than trying to use anecdotal evidence [that's a misnomer] as...evidence. However, anecdotal stories about experiences are still great to read about.

    I'm sorry, I just had to comment - I loved hearing the Space:1999 theme playing in the background at the beginning of this video.
    I'm not sure whether any of the Eagles were setup to shoot shotgun slugs, but it certainly would have added to the mistique of the programme!!

    I really enjoy your videos. They are informative and educational. Looking at the background, you can see numerous footprints and travel ( typical ). May I suggest that you pass a fan rake in the background ( where possible ) for projectile recovery.
    Seriously, I am sure you guys do enough range work for these videos. Thank you for your time and work!

    That slug is amazing. That 'screw driver' blade is as OG said 'ploughing' through the target but i'd guess that as it's spinning it's also changing the airflow around the slug as it travels.

Some time in the past you went over how you make the roll crimp when you load a slug. Would you happen to know what video that was, or if you wouldn't mind go over that again? I have a drill press.
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

    The reverse ogive principle was developed back in the 70s (?) to create more effective pistol projectiles. They worked but had feed problems because of the odd shape. These modern versions with their phillips head screwdriver shape seem to have reached the happy medium. And this. This thing is the giant version. Utterly devastating. Them Russian boys don't mess around...

  • @corkbulb2895
    @corkbulb2895 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's amazing how changing the material (materiel?) of the projectile changes the performance so dramatically. This slug as well as all the others from this designer. I guess harder materials don't deform and expand as much and do less damage to the target, but it absolutely shocks me how easily ballistic vests can be defeated by brass or copper projectiles. Even from relatively low powered rounds. I saw a video a while ago where a dude made hardened steel and pointed .22 LR rounds that went straight through a level IIIa vest. (was it you guys? Might have been. I'm not sure. I looked at your older videos and didn't see it. BTW, you guys have some AWESOME old videos! Ima go check them out later) But .22s! Through a level 3a vest! That's just incredible. I just love watching to see how different projectiles affect the performance SO MUCH! I learn a lot from these videos. I never even thought of "barrel harmonics" and how that affects impact point. Sorry I'm rambling on. Anyway, love these videos and I think you guys are funny and awesome! Especially with that intro. Hehe! Keep it up.
