That round has so much kinetic force I don't think there is any personal armor that could stop a fatality, even if it stops the round it transfers so much force it would shatter so much inside you.
@@jancizmarik4345 Considering he outright states the 4 bore is rated at 200 lbs of felt recoil, I'm sure a punch by an elite heavyweight boxer, who on average can easily punch with over 700 lbs of force (possibly over 1,000 even), would still knock you back way more.
3:30 put playback speed at .25 during the slow motion and you can see the projectile as it sails out the barrel and through the air. Pretty sweet and rare to capture on film.
@@alexv1190 For sure. I loved him. Definitely the OG, Dude was a savage. I always thought he was russian right up until he was removed. I will always remember the video where he shot that car and the door flew past him and he barely even flinched. Freaking badass haha
The 4" bore is when you wanna unexist the four ruffians invading your house, the fridge, the neighbours drywalls, the dog, and the T34 tank crossing the street 😂
Jesus! This 4 bore is a real portable cannon, literally!!! The handguns on the titanium helmet were like 7,5 Joule airguns hitting a pan and they're normal pistols (sooo incredible to see!) but this 4 bore is a devil! Thank you to let live emotions us with your breathtaking videos, you're amazing! Cheers from Italy! 😀
Now imagine if Scott had the even bigger 2 bore!! But that one would cost him a lot and he can use the puntgun with a solid ball round instead and get an even more devastating result.
Scott : this gun is heavy, hurts to shoot, and ammo is extremely expensive Also Scott : *shoots 4 bore at every opportunity* And that's why we love him
Honesty the way it delaminated that ballistic faceplate like that through sheer lateral force applied is one of the most impressive feats I've seen from the 4 Bore yet!

Could you make custom 4 bore rounds? Like a brass solid or a hardcast or a copper pointed bullet? Seems like it would be really interesting and effective. If the gun would allow that
I'd love to see a brass slug with a lead core for the extra weight vs. some old ceramic helicopter armor, or some home-made iron and steel frying pan armor.
And that's a chunk of lead. Imagine its penetrating ability with a pointed brass bullet, or some copper jacketed tungsten. YEW!!! That's a spicy round. Edit: Imagine that lead round hollowed out... 1700g Hollowpoint 😮😮

I don't know why, but the sound of you throwing the helmet and it making that strange sound at about 14:44 has me rolling in laughter. xD btw, great video Scot.
No idea how hard they are to get but I recently heard of a 20mm rifle, it makes a 50 bmg look like a 308. The rifle is absurdly big, something to look into for your arsenal!
Fun fact. The Four Bore rifle was made to be a "stopping rifle" for bison and grizzly bear hunting trips. The function of it was basically that if an angry buffalo or an angry grizzly bear was charging at you the idea was to whip out the four bour and stop the animal on its tracks. The reason why its such a comically large caliber is because its designed to stop a giant meat train that is running at you with murderous intent
Not gonna lie, when I heard the helmet make that sound at 14:44, I almost thought that was a gong sound effect you put in there. That caught me completely off guard and made me laugh🤣🤣. Hope you have a great Christmas Scott.
Looking at 12:00 you can see the round ricochet off the front of the helmet, deflecting downward and shattering the "Glass". You can then see the smooshed round flop onto the table, then later the ground. Scott, you really need to get with the SloMo Guys again to show the majesty of this behemoth of a rifle.
Yeah, 100% agree. I was surprised to hear him joke about needing a higher fps camera so much during the crossover and still stick with only the one he has now.

I believe there is an even bigger 2-bore rifle out there. It is as comically huge as you would imagine. Ian from Forgotten Weapons did a video on it some years ago. But he could barely even hoist thing to his shoulder and IIRC never tried shooting it. Mad props for abusing your shoulder with this monster.
@@jagc1969 that's not even a rifle, nor really a "firearm" tbh. That's a rifle shaped cannon , which is loaded like a cannon and everything. And also no a punt gun is like a 0 gauge shotgun lol (they also made them of varying sizes) some couldn't even be lifted by this hulking guy.

Dude, I’ve been subscribed for quite a while. I’m confident that back of the helmet shot was the best video you’ve ever captured! The spine nearly pulled out of the torso was epic! Great work, hope it’s all going well. Stay safe!
Can we appreciate that? He somehow managed to shoot off both bolts that held the visor on the first shot of different guns that is insane on accident too
For comparison, the KS-23 was made using spare 23mm anti-aircraft barrels and is roughly a 6.3 gauge or bore. That means this rifle’s caliber is larger than an anti-aircraft caliber round.
Makes sense, since the 4-Bore is pretty much twice the diameter of a .50 cal, leaving it somewhere around 25mm, or about the size of the main gun on a Bradley 😂 Edit: that gives me an idea... along the same vein where you can *technically* fire a .50 cal through a 12 gauge, right? Well....
For the KS-23 carbine, barrels were selected that were rejected by military acceptance and were not suitable for the Army. I was a KS-23 operator in the special forces of the Soviet police in 90-95. And I was also a PKM machine gunner.
Scott takes all the credit for shooting the big guns. "It's 200 pounds felt recoil"😢. Scooter is Scott's stunt double and we need to show some appreciation to scooter and call Scott out for not taking his own shots.😂
Props to the zombie head. For his neckbones to take the whiplash from that massive energy dup is impressive. I would have bet he couldn't hold the helmet up for the second 4-bore shot. Also, impressive field goal on the last shot. Centered directly over the barrel.

Scott, imagine doing a video with the 4 bore shooting a Ford 7.3 diesel that was considered indestructible. The unstoppable force meets the immovable object
The slow motion on this video was awesome! The second one just made me laugh with the helmet flying a quarter of a football field. Good stuff as always, Scott!
Any time the name "4 BORE" is in the title, you know it´s gonna be a good video, and this one certainly didn´t disappoint one bit. It would be really interesting to see the 4Bore vs. an engine block, gun safe/wault
Just in case people had some inflated expectations about this helmet, let me clarify the background a bit. First of all, the Altyn was designed for internal troops and special forces. That is, for people who storm houses and fight in closed spaces. It was assumed that law enforcers would fight against criminals, terrorists, armed mostly with pistols, hunting rifles and only in rare cases with automatic assault rifles. And since such operations are fast, the Russians decided to protect the head of the wearer to the maximum with available materials at the time without really putting attention to it weight. Therefore, it is configured to protect the wearer's head from all sides, including the face. Since the helmet appeared in the 90s, and it was first seen in 1993 during the Constitutional crisis of Russia, it kind of predetermined the material from which the "Altyn" family would be made - titanium, a rare and very hard metal, which is abundant in Russia. However, life takes its course, and, unfortunately, the helmet, as well as their owners, will often be used in combat actions against which it was not really created (admittedly, few weapons and equipment created by the Soviets and Russians are used for their intended purpose). In the 2000s, Kevlar helmets gradually began to supplant titanium helmets because of their lighter weight and supposedly better protection. Some special forces operators and ex internal troops remain of the opinion that the titanium helmet family should have been further developed. Edit: I was corrected, it's not "Altyn," it's К6-3, or 6Б6-3 made out titan. "Altyn" is metal version of the helmet.
Interesting. It looked to me like a bomb suit helmet - heavy, minimum mobility, restricted peripheral vision, but very durable (under design conditions). It seems to me that, yes, there is room for additional development.
@@lairdcummings9092 Yes, the helmet even at that time had a lot of disadvantages, such a heavy weight is literally a health threat to your neck if you wear it too long (russians concluded that it should not be worn longer than 8 hours). At times the lowered visor would prevent you from using the butt of the weapon. Most Special Forces soldiers would find it too big, which is why footage from the Chechen campaigns shows them wearing hats under the helmet, and also sometimes removing the visors. However, you have to give it credit for saving quite a few lives. And thanks to modern video games, the helmet has become a meme. You know, it's a Vibe, everything about it screams that it's made in Russia. Edit: I was corrected ones more, it doesn't ring like a bell when you fire your gun since it has a kevlar layer inside.
@@gunther2555 iteration is the answer. Lots of cycles of testing with real troops. The man who led the development of the US Army kevlar helmet worked for my father at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, in the Human Engineering Lab - they iterated the living hell out of that helmet, got field soldiers' input and opinions, and tested all manner of hearing protection, communications connectivity, and communications intelligibly. I mean, they went *NUTS* on the testing. The Army didn't approve everything they wanted, nor did the Army buy everything that was approved, but it wasn't from a lack of thought and trial.
@@lairdcummings9092All right. It is included in the minesweeper kit. But the whole costume is there, it looks about the same in all countries. A thick spacesuit and a massive helmet.
Scott, 4 Bore request: For science (of course) How many cans of nacho cheese does it take to stop a 4 Bore round? Along with, which condiment is the most 4 Bore round resistant?Keep doing what you do 😁👍‼
In real Life this helmet did his job very good. This is used in anti riot situations or shoot out events. This Is what it was designed for.....so. good job including the destructive test, useful to see the limit of this Gear.
Scott, you’re awesome brother. Been a subscriber since the very beginning, and as usual, You never disappoint. Keep’’em coming dude. Merry Christmas, and God bless you and the family 🙏🏽🙏🏽
That last one is, without a doubt, in the top 5 of your awesome slo-mo shots. Maybe top 3. If you can find another helmet, maybe the Slo Mo Guys would want in on this 4 Bore Russian equipment carnage.
It's always amazing to see Scott's videos because he answers so many unasked questions and it's awesome that Scott can deal with the recoil 🤣 purely insane
@karlwithak. a TBI stands for traumatic brain injury and canoe involves an enemy half of a soldier's head going missing due to a heavy caliber round going through it
One day you'll have to pit the 4 bore against the NTW-20 with its specialty 20x82mm which comes in HEI (high-explosive incendiary) as well as SAPHEI (semi-armor piercing high explosive incentiary) both of which also have tracer variants!
Ah yes, Kentucky Ballistics. The only channel in which I hit the “like” button the moment the video starts. Scott never fails to deliver. Edit: And thank you so much for taking the pain with these beyond ridiculous guns so we don’t have to. I mean, my 500 mag is fun to shoot, but I don’t think anyone could pay me to shoot the 4 bore, price of ammunition included.
Hey Scott, amazing video as always. Here’s a fun fact about your 4 Bore safari gun. Back in the final years of World War I Americans and British soldiers would use safari guns such as the 4 bore as armor piercing rounds since conventional weapons were practically useless.
Scott, it would be awesome to see a machined copper or brass solid for the 4-Bore. Something that won't give and fold in on itself. I also hoped to see something like that for the 700...
Your collection reminds me of an old Looney Tunes gag where two duellists keep whipping out bigger and bigger guns until one has a gun so large the view switches to space and it's a fifth the size of the planet. I feel like when the day arrives that your most powerful gun fails to penetrate a test object that you'll come back a few weeks later with an episode testing whether it can stand up to your new 18.1" naval gun that you somehow recovered from the wreck of the Musashi, brought back home and then restored to working order. After that your new functional replica Schwerer Gustav 31.5" railway gun. I might be only slightly surprised to one day see a video shot aboard your new Death Star. Good stuff!

Cause he's three gunning it right now. Two guns gripping the third

You don't just climb into a Top Fuel dragster and mash the go-pedal... takes time to build up a tolerance to the uh... ballistics.
That ring was epic!
So what we've learned today is that if Scott ever has a four bore mishap, he'll have to use both thumbs.

Can we all just appreciate how much trauma Scott puts his shoulder through for our entertainment 😂
He eats that kind of recoil for breakfast😂
@@itstrooperz😂
@@itstrooperz Is that why he's so big and strong!? Haha.
@jacknoe4024 100% 😂
His rotator cuff is just dust at this point lol
Scott, imagine doing a video with the 4 bore shooting a Ford 7.3 diesel that was considered indestructible. The unstoppable force meets the immovable object
The slow motion on this video was awesome! The second one just made me laugh with the helmet flying a quarter of a football field. Good stuff as always, Scott!
That recoil would’ve destroyed my shoulder!! Great video! I was laughing at your comments throughout the whole thing. SUBSCRIBED!!
Any time the name "4 BORE" is in the title, you know it´s gonna be a good video, and this one certainly didn´t disappoint one bit. It would be really interesting to see the 4Bore vs. an engine block, gun safe/wault
Yeah, i😊t would
Just in case people had some inflated expectations about this helmet, let me clarify the background a bit. First of all, the Altyn was designed for internal troops and special forces. That is, for people who storm houses and fight in closed spaces. It was assumed that law enforcers would fight against criminals, terrorists, armed mostly with pistols, hunting rifles and only in rare cases with automatic assault rifles. And since such operations are fast, the Russians decided to protect the head of the wearer to the maximum with available materials at the time without really putting attention to it weight. Therefore, it is configured to protect the wearer's head from all sides, including the face.
Since the helmet appeared in the 90s, and it was first seen in 1993 during the Constitutional crisis of Russia, it kind of predetermined the material from which the "Altyn" family would be made - titanium, a rare and very hard metal, which is abundant in Russia.
However, life takes its course, and, unfortunately, the helmet, as well as their owners, will often be used in combat actions against which it was not really created (admittedly, few weapons and equipment created by the Soviets and Russians are used for their intended purpose). In the 2000s, Kevlar helmets gradually began to supplant titanium helmets because of their lighter weight and supposedly better protection. Some special forces operators and ex internal troops remain of the opinion that the titanium helmet family should have been further developed.
Edit: I was corrected, it's not "Altyn," it's К6-3, or 6Б6-3 made out titan. "Altyn" is metal version of the helmet.
And to think. No military or police equipment is designed to protect from hand cannon like that.
Interesting.
It looked to me like a bomb suit helmet - heavy, minimum mobility, restricted peripheral vision, but very durable (under design conditions). It seems to me that, yes, there is room for additional development.
@@lairdcummings9092 Yes, the helmet even at that time had a lot of disadvantages, such a heavy weight is literally a health threat to your neck if you wear it too long (russians concluded that it should not be worn longer than 8 hours). At times the lowered visor would prevent you from using the butt of the weapon. Most Special Forces soldiers would find it too big, which is why footage from the Chechen campaigns shows them wearing hats under the helmet, and also sometimes removing the visors.
However, you have to give it credit for saving quite a few lives. And thanks to modern video games, the helmet has become a meme. You know, it's a Vibe, everything about it screams that it's made in Russia.
Edit: I was corrected ones more, it doesn't ring like a bell when you fire your gun since it has a kevlar layer inside.
@@gunther2555 iteration is the answer. Lots of cycles of testing with real troops.
The man who led the development of the US Army kevlar helmet worked for my father at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, in the Human Engineering Lab - they iterated the living hell out of that helmet, got field soldiers' input and opinions, and tested all manner of hearing protection, communications connectivity, and communications intelligibly. I mean, they went *NUTS* on the testing.
The Army didn't approve everything they wanted, nor did the Army buy everything that was approved, but it wasn't from a lack of thought and trial.
@@lairdcummings9092All right. It is included in the minesweeper kit. But the whole costume is there, it looks about the same in all countries. A thick spacesuit and a massive helmet.
The individual frames when that round hit the back of the helmet are INSANE. There's 3-4 truly epic frames in a row with a perfect starburst effect.
12:15 nobody wanted to stay on your birthday party 😂😂
Ya know… the winter time.. I bet you can hear that 4 bore in space! 😂
Pure fun, Scott, thanks for the video👍! Especially the slow motions are impressive. Kind regards from Germany, Frank
Scott, 4 Bore request: For science (of course) How many cans of nacho cheese does it take to stop a 4 Bore round? Along with, which condiment is the most 4 Bore round resistant?Keep doing what you do 😁👍‼
Is unrealistic to have a friend like him. People who around u, are so lucky. U most real full of life man I ever see
Only Scott can repeatedly be perfectly accurate shooting a freaking Four Bore.
It would be interesting to see what performance you could get from a 4 bore FMJ.
That wouldn't be far off a ww2 anti tank rifle at that point lol
I don't really care what you shoot with the 4 bore, it just makes my day to see an upload from you!
In real Life this helmet did his job very good. This is used in anti riot situations or shoot out events. This Is what it was designed for.....so. good job including the destructive test, useful to see the limit of this Gear.
I just love how the helmet literally explodes, the round just going through it like it’s nothing, awesome gun and an awesome video thanks Scott!
Scott, you’re awesome brother. Been a subscriber since the very beginning, and as usual, You never disappoint. Keep’’em coming dude. Merry Christmas, and God bless you and the family 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is just another step on the journey of a man who seeks to build up a natural resistance to all recoil.
Anytime i see you bring out the 4bore, I'm all in! Thank you Scott! Excellent video. 😊
Her: "Babe i swear you are my first one!"
Him: 10:19
That last one is, without a doubt, in the top 5 of your awesome slo-mo shots. Maybe top 3. If you can find another helmet, maybe the Slo Mo Guys would want in on this 4 Bore Russian equipment carnage.
between the shotgun breaking last video and the helmet breaking too early this episode, I'm worried something is going to happen
This armored helmet vs normal people, not vs psycho with sea cannon! 😂😂😂❤
Someting tells me that simply stopping the 4 bore is not going to save you.
I suspect the culprit is waaaaay too much force.
I imagine the neck wouldn’t be very structurally sound any longer .
@@Error_404-F.cks_Not_Foundit's not your neck that's the issue it's your brain bouncing around inside your skull until it turns to jello
The force of the bullet hitting the helmet alone would likely give you an instant and lethal concussion.
I've said it before, the 4-bore doesn't so much as "defeat" the armor, but "recruits" it and takes the armor along for the ride.
Thank you Scott for sacrificing your shoulder for our entertainment.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Scott .
8:50 Now I want some lime jello, seriously.
14:36 when you punch the boxing bag and it comes back full force, lol!
I'd like to see the 4-bore vs a reinforced cinderblock wall.
It's always amazing to see Scott's videos because he answers so many unasked questions and it's awesome that Scott can deal with the recoil 🤣 purely insane
@@karlwithak. at least that way we could see which round would cause a TBI or turn the soldier into a canoe
@karlwithak. a TBI stands for traumatic brain injury and canoe involves an enemy half of a soldier's head going missing due to a heavy caliber round going through it
One day you'll have to pit the 4 bore against the NTW-20 with its specialty 20x82mm which comes in HEI (high-explosive incendiary) as well as SAPHEI (semi-armor piercing high explosive incentiary) both of which also have tracer variants!
That 4 bore is nasty work!
This video is the true definition of "Unstoppable Force vs. Immobile Object"
Scott is the immovable object lol
Dont you mean immovable object lol
The 4-bore is absolutely absurd.....I love it!!
Ah yes, Kentucky Ballistics. The only channel in which I hit the “like” button the moment the video starts. Scott never fails to deliver.
Edit: And thank you so much for taking the pain with these beyond ridiculous guns so we don’t have to. I mean, my 500 mag is fun to shoot, but I don’t think anyone could pay me to shoot the 4 bore, price of ammunition included.
Hey Scott, amazing video as always. Here’s a fun fact about your 4 Bore safari gun. Back in the final years of World War I Americans and British soldiers would use safari guns such as the 4 bore as armor piercing rounds since conventional weapons were practically useless.
Scott, it would be awesome to see a machined copper or brass solid for the 4-Bore. Something that won't give and fold in on itself. I also hoped to see something like that for the 700...
Considering the Altyn is defeated by 5.45 PS ammo, can't imagine it surviving much at all.
Your collection reminds me of an old Looney Tunes gag where two duellists keep whipping out bigger and bigger guns until one has a gun so large the view switches to space and it's a fifth the size of the planet. I feel like when the day arrives that your most powerful gun fails to penetrate a test object that you'll come back a few weeks later with an episode testing whether it can stand up to your new 18.1" naval gun that you somehow recovered from the wreck of the Musashi, brought back home and then restored to working order. After that your new functional replica Schwerer Gustav 31.5" railway gun. I might be only slightly surprised to one day see a video shot aboard your new Death Star. Good stuff!
Even if 4 bore hadnt penetrated, the kinetic shock would have shaken your brain to a pulp.
Need some reaaly soft anti kinetic padding thrn
Это ружьё -- просто произведение искусства! Этот калибр уже относится к ручной артиллерии -- поэтому, чтобы от него спастись на голову нужно надевать башню от танка
Hiding in a tank is a good idea
bro basically said it's a really big gun, artillery level of power. it's art, and to stop that massive of a round you'd need a tank on your head to stop it@@JL-ei7hy
@@JL-ei7hy "This gun is simply a work of art! This caliber already belongs to hand artillery - therefore, in order to escape from it, you need to put a tank turret on your head"
Sir, that helmet is now a work of art, it should be properly displayed for future generations to marvel at!
Scott I kno I'm late to the video, but idk if you noticed. But the 4bore is getting some really gorgeous color to the barrel. like a fading color and it is pure art.
I would love to see what the 4 bore would do to the armor of an APC or similar!
Nothing, too low of a velocity with a high surface area of soft lead.
@@joshjamesguitar Probably yes, but I was thinking of if it would cause shrapnel on the inside!
Aim for the sight box, see what it will do to the optics or electronics of a tank.
Shout out to Ballistic High-Speed. That was gnarly. Glad Adam is ok and recovering.
Scott's really testing the definition of the word "Temporary cavity" in this episode
Nothing made sense until I saw the bullet next to a RedBull. I am now enlightened. Thank you.
