Hello

As always Scott
Hope you get better
Love it!
Can I get a shoutout?
You said the shield lost integrity, but seeing how hard the 700 Nitro round was lodged in there, I'd say it gained integrity from that.

See how a 4 bore can do

Man that slow mo of the predator just eating that glass is pretty amazing. Cinematic beauty.
Even the movement of the mask looks amazing

That was a pretty interesting test. Really didn't expect the ballistic shield to stand up against some incredibly powerful rounds.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Quick skinny rounds penetrate better than fat Sidewinder missiles. Impressive really.
@@USGovsOwnersRtheRealEnemyThis can be taken out of context so well
@@Lemmunzz 🤣damn
I’d like to see some AP rounds at those caliber’s verse it. Some custom rounds.
I think this goes to show how important some amount of protection is. Even though the shield was not rated for such a powerful round, it managed to stop it enough to the point where you'd only have a broken arm. Which I'd take a broken arm over dying any day.
I don't know why anyone would be using soft hollow point rounds in that situation though. I think the 44 -and the 500 obviously- would have gone through with rounds designed for penetrating material.
Then the shooter fires another round at you while you're on the floor recovering from the previous bullet lol
@@davidlangston9595 an fmj 44 magnum or 500 magnum are not even close to 700 nitro or 577 t-rex
One thing I don't think you've done yet is do an apples-to-apples comparison of your more badass elephant gun rifles up against just a standard 50 BMG. I'd really like to see where the 50 BMG stands when put up against the 500/700 Nitro or the 577 Tyrannosaur. Cool video as always, and it's never lost on me how you have to drop several hundred dollars on ammo alone every time you bring out the big guns. 👍
And the so far unstoppable 416 Rigby
I wonder if he'll ever pick up a Anzio in 20mm Vulcan to play with.
@@ourshelties7649 The only problem with that is you have to register every single bullet (plus the gun) as a destructive device since its bigger than .50 cal (elephant guns are exempt because they are considered sporting/hunting rifles), unless you have an FFL of course.
@@jasongrim2027 A huge factor that the videos don't really go into is bullet construction. Of all the magnum rifles in the videos the .416 is consistently the one he uses with **long**, high sectional density brass solids. For all its power the brass solid in the .577 is much lighter for caliber than the .416 - quick math says the same bullet shape as the .416 would come out to a whopping 1112 grains if scaled up to the T-Rex's .585 bore diameter, almost 50% heavier than the 750 grains the gun is usually loaded with.
The .416 is actually shooting bullets of the same weight for caliber as .50 BMG, though the latter is loaded with boat tailed spitzers instead of flat nosed hunting bullets so the behavior against different types of barriers will be different. Well that and the .50 is just vastly more powerful.
In fact I'd like to see that shield hit with a 50 BMG as it is supposedly an armour piercing round. It'd be nice to see.
Awesome video Scott. My Sheriff's Department just got those same ballistic shields and it's great to see the effectiveness of it. Absolutely love everything you do brother with Kentucky Ballistics and Customs. You're definitely my favorite Gun-tuber.
Who manufactured it?
I need one of these 416 honey badgers
It stood up to some BG rounds, but they're blunt and relatively slow. A Spitzer round like the .30-06 stands about an even chance of defeating that shield, even though the bullet weight is much lower for about the same speed as the .416. A black-tip .30-06 or .308 would zip through it like a pop can.
You guys trying to arrest elephant poachers?
@@FluxAscender Level 4 armor is rated for 30-06 black tip (though I believe it is only tested to stop 1 of them.)
I am just as surprised that the shield stopped the 700 Nitro Express and 577 T-Rex, especially considering it took a bit of damage beforehand. That is an impressive shield.
Congratulations on hitting 3 million subscribers!!! You absolutely deserve it. Your passion and expertise on firearms is second to none. Hope your channel continues to grow. Keep up the great work!!!
Ok
@@davidsherrill9121 ????????
Yesssss
@@mortennefer2850 I didn't understand the "Ok" either.
@@malcolmpayne9517 The OK was in response to Expertise on Firearms is Second to None.....
That's a ridiculous statement
Any company that sends you their product has absolute faith in their craftsmanship
I have to take issue with the 416. I think it had an advantage because of the damage already done by the 700 Nitro and the 577. Also, the Back Panel came off and was never replaced, and from the way the 416 did not penetrate the Predator after, I doubt it had enough energy to go through the panel. I feel like the 306 also had some of that advantage.
It's insane to think that just over a year ago, maybe a year and a half ago, but Scott's 50. Cal blew up in his face.
Mad respect and so much love Scott. I'm so happy to know you're doing great and still going strong with the videos!
Merry christmas and happy new year!
HE'S STILL JUST DOING WHAT HE LOVES/WHAT ELSE CAN WE SAY🤔🤷♂️🤨HMM..!!?? YES I'M AMAZED THAT HE'S STILL DOING THESE "GUNTUBES"
To be fair by the time the 416 hit it the shield was comprimised so brand new it very well may have held up. All in all an outstanding fun video to watch.
Hats off to the Predinator for holding up that shield, taking glass to the face, and only falling over a couple of times. What a champ!
And congrats on 3 million subs. I'm happy to be one of them!
* Presses up glasses* um Actually it is predater not predinator
I’m not sure if you will see this but your content has helped me get thru a lot of depression. Me and my brothers have something to relate and look forward to from your content. Just gonna keep it short and simple; thanks for always having a positive attitude (even when your 50 cal exploded). It’s admirable and I feel like a lot of people should strive to live their lives that way. Anyway keep up the great work! On the road to 4 mil subs, I know you will get there 💥 👍
Can we talk about just what a good shot this man is?? He's got serious time and money invested in these tools, and to make a good video you have to hit where you're aiming. There are only so many do-overs possible. Excellent marksman with both handguns and long guns!
Congratulations on 3m, Scott!
My dad loves your videos too. He calls you "that crazy guy from Kentucky".
Merry Christmas, sir.
You're my favorite guntuber. Hope you and your dad keep it up for many years to come!

Wow, I appreciate your dedication to this, good on you.
(I just want to clarify, I mean no disrespect or sarcasm)
I am glad to see you finally using a sharpie to label the bullet holes! LOL I have wondered why you and Demo haven't done that before LOL It would certainly make it a lot easier to tell the difference.
The difference between messing around and Science is writing it down.
In addition to marking the holes, it would also be nice if they numbered the targets when they're shooting multiple in a row.
I have to say i am loving the 416 Rigby more and more for every thing it zips on through :-)
I wonder if it would go through a car front to back, engine included... Also calling it the Honeybadger made me laugh so much it hurt.
Best of luck and congratulations Scott, looking forward to the next video, my suggestion? "What does it take to stop the 416 Rigby."
I doubt that it will go through the engine and think it will get deflected. But there is only one way to find out :D
@@reptiloidmitglied2930 True enough ;-)
Crazy how the shield took out so much energy that after it went trough it was on par with throwing the bullet at the Alien :D
@@DUKEisALIVE Yeah they did something right with it.
@trollolol Shame he didn't have a fresh one but then that is why I suggested a "what would it take" video... Still is an impressive round though
That microtech otf looks pretty tough. I'm impressed more by that than anything.
Same! I always wanted to get one too
IMO one of the best videos in a long time. Excellent work....both content and editing.
Not entirely convinced that the 416 Rigby would make it through a fresh shield or not. That shield had quite a bit of trauma. Was definitely surprised though at what it could take!
That is one seriously impressive shield. Props to the materials engineers who came up with that.
You and Edwin Sarkissiam gotta do a collaboration sooner or later. You guys are both hilarious to watch, although I’m pretty certain your knowledge of firearms and ballistics supersedes his. Both of your channels are extremely entertaining in any case!! Happy Holidays to you and yours from Canada Scott!!
🎄☮️🙏🇨🇦🍻
Honestly, NO. Ed is so sloppy about safety. I really don't like a lot of his videos.
Ed is utter shite. Next to Scott he is invisible.
Sarkissian has a lot of bogus videos. Grenades, etc. Scott is WAY above that.
I love your bullet vs shield videos!!!! awesome man!
Congratulations on 3 million!
Hard earned and well deserved! You & your Dad put so much into the production of these videos for us.
Here's to the next milestone! 🍻
I love his dad, man saved his life
Never seen the point in subscribing to creators so I never have. I can see their videos regardless and sub counts don't get them any more more. They used to back in Kyle's days
@@user-sz2px8pv3f
Wow, you really don't know how this works, do you? 😏
@@medicbabe2ID Yes sir I do. Sub counts mean nothing for creator money. Watch time, views, CPM, and sponsors do. Subscriber counts used to play a large role in how much people on TH-cam got paid but that stopped years ago.
@insanity wolf Really*
Yes ma'am, I do. I know more about that than you know how to spell.
The 416 is one hell of a round. A friend of mine that hunts in Africa quite often swears by it. He hand-loads for it, usually with 450gr bullets I think, and his rifle is the same as yours, the magnum sized Brno (CZ) with no optics. The one time I fired it, it did kick like a horse..... definitely an offhand proposition.
That was seriously impressive watching what that shield ate. Super cool video, Scott. Loved it. I am seriously jonesing that HCAR.
Whoever edits your videos is an absolute gem.
Tactical T-Rex! ❤ it’s amazing that Scott still brings stuff back from his early days. Predinator didn’t look like he had a good day
Congratulations on 3 million!!!
You have worked hard to bring us great content, and you deserve all the good things that come your way!
This channel has taught me nothing except being a bad example of a firearms owner is how you get pushed by the algorithm.
Man, this really got me in the mood for shooting stuff
Congrats on 3 million Scott, love ya 🎉🎉🎉
I'm REALLY impressed with how flat that .30-06 stayed shooting that fast! 06 is no weakling, I would've never thought it would've been that drama free shooting that fast.
I thought it was going to take a .50BMG to get through. The glass holding up to the .500 S&W was impressive as well.
Congratulations on 3 million subscribers, Scott! You work hard for these videos, they’re educational, and they always make me laugh. Well done, sir.
I made extra profiles on here so I could subscribe more than once.
Simply glued to this amazing action. By the way, you are funny too!👍
Awesome, awesome video. Thank you, needed it👍🏻.
Happy 3 Million Scott! Hope you feel better soon; all the best!
That 30-.06 is always going to be my favourite. What an awesome machine.
Love it! That .416 is a great cartridge. But then again so is the good 'ole 30-06. Gotta get one of those sweaters.
i have some exreme respect for this guy like he survived a 50 cal explosion and still decides to make videos
Man that shield was IMPRESSIVE!! Not gonna lie, I got pretty excited when you pulled out the .577. Been wanting to see more of it and what it can go through. Then you pulled out the 416 Rigby. My two favorite guns on your channel. Awesome video as always man! Btw, thanks for bringing back the POUPON shirts for cyber monday! I missed out on them the first time but not this time!!
Not to over think it, but what if you had a g-force sensor? That way you could see how much force would be applied to the arm of a person holding the shield. Just wondering if someone would still be functional after absorbing a shot from the 700 and the T Rex? You got me wondering now Scott. Great video.
The force felt by a person holding the shield would be almost equal to the force of recoil felt by the person shooting. Very close to the same at point-blank, dropping down from there with range. Equal and opposite and such. =)
@@angry_zergling Actually the force of impact will be much higher than the force of the recoil because of impulse (change in momentum = average force x time). The momentum is theoretically equal (actually the shooter receives more momentum because the bullet slows before reaching the target), but the forces are not equal (Newton's Third Law does not apply because the relevant forces are shooter/bullet and bullet/target, there is no shooter/target interaction).
The recoil on the shooter is spread out over the time the bullet (and gases) are accelerated down the length of the barrel, which is several inches long, so the force felt at any given moment is comparatively low. On the other hand, the target impact happens in a tiny fraction of the time, stopping in less than an inch, so the force must be much higher to produce the same impulse.
It's the same principle as to why falling on a mattress is a lot less force than falling on concrete from the same height, even though the momentum of the falling object is the same in both cases: the impact duration on the mattress is much longer so the force experienced over that time is lower.
What about a android phone with the accelerometer running?
700 Nitro is about 9000 ft-lb at the muzzle so in what looks like maybe 30ft to target you'd be getting hit with several full sized cars in a millisecond.
I think most would instantly be out of the fight
GREAT video you make my day Scott thank you and keep up the good work!!!!!
If it was a brand new shield, none of those rounds would have passed through.
But with the integrity of the shield compromised with the damage it had received from the previous rounds, it made it easier to penetrate.
Try testing each round on a brand new shield and you would see the true strength of that shield, its astonishing.
I'm sure he figured that, and if those shields were cheaper or more accessible , he would have more.
Ballistic fiberglass is definitely impressive. I am surprised it isn't used more.
Scott, I have urgent news for you: Late Last Year Development and early this year Production started on the .500 Bushwhacker cartridge, basically what .460 is to .454 Casull. You should look into getting a firearm in the cartridge.
My thoughts exactly. The Bushwhacker is a beast that Scott would love.
Thanks Scott Merry Christmas!!😁😁😁🎄🎄🎄☃⛄
Whoever does your sound editing, Bravo. Nailed it as always.
Congrats on the 3 million subs! Most definitely deserved! It would be really interesting to see two of these shields against the .416 Rigby and even a .50 BMG.
338 lapua too.
I guess I’ll say it..
Maybe a fresh shield with first shot from the 416. 700 nitro and 577 tyrannosaur certainly compromised a huge portion of that shield. Would love to see a 416 on a fresh shield then how many 22 LR it takes to get through 😂
Yes I thought the same thing, why the shooter not?
He would need an American-180!
Guns that shoot a round like a 577 tyrannosaur is why Kentucky Ballistics is the best . I've seen enough AR videos give me the freedom calibers my American heart desires.
Another great video! Thanks!
The specific way the predator head flew off its body at the end when you threw the shield into it is uncanny in how static it was. Truly art in motion 👏
Thank you so much for consistently making high quality videos, noticed for a while you’ve got better recording gear etc, can’t wait for more ❤❤❤
Cheers from Aus. 🇦🇺
7:53 That fall was very dramatic.😄
Congrats on your 3 mil Scott…….. have a merry Xmas and God bless yo
I knew the 416 was coming out when the 700 didn't go through it! That 416rigby is a beast, I would like to see you try to find something that can actually stop that round. Awesome as always Scott, happy holidays to you and your family.
Yeah that's a great video idea
Honestly im very impressed how this shield held up against exotic rounds that are used to hunt big game. Until the 416 Rigby came along lol.😂 Also my favorite firearm used in this video would have to be 700 nitro it’s just so intimidating.😅
Thanks again for another great video! That 700 NE is a beautiful rifle!!
Happy 3 million subscribers scott, its been a long way and a very exciting moment for you and us and the content is incredible, have a nice day!
I'm interested in the more powerful Semi-Auto types. The HCAR is a beautiful thing to me! Also the 500 Auto Max, which I do finally own thanks to your older videos :) I wonder if you'd eventually get the Noreen Bad News in .338, that would be awesome!
Congratulations on 3 mil and I'm glad I've gotten to enjoy you for most of your great work.
If you want a chance for those bullets to go through, don't use hollow points. They are not meant to go through a target, but to do as much damage as possible (and possibly go through), by expanding. You want a bullet to remain in tact to have a chance to go through a target. Similar to the 700 Nitro Express, it is a very large shell, so it "pancakes" out when it hits the target to a large diameter making it difficult to penetrate the target, even with the large firing charge behind it (Although, like you said, it does hit like Thor's Hammer). The .416 Rigby is a smaller (slimmer) shell, so it went through.
Scott - most of your videos highlight the more popular rounds and many not so popular. What I’d like to see you highlight is my favorite round of choice for carry & that’s the .40 Cal. It’s a very capable round and would love to see a segment on it. Thx for reading this. 👋🏻✌🏻👍🏻
I dont think anything was more satisfying than when scott pulled the bolt back on the tyrannosaur and the shell flew out. So crisp.
Very interesting! Where on earth did you find that shield?!
As always, thank you, Scott, for making fascinating and wholesome videos.
Scott if you ever decide to give this up, I think you would be a GREAT comedian!!!!! So funny!!
OUTSTANDING VIDEO!! *THANKS* For Sharing This Ballistic Shield Test With Us All, K.B!! *WOW*!! 😃😁👌👍
I felt the way the predator slowly fell over, twice, after being hit was an accurate depiction of what a human would do after the shield absorbed the hit. The concussion from the hit must be enough to stun you.
Congratulations on the big milestone.
The T-Rex all the way. Just because.
I shot a 375 H&H Nitro Express once. Recoil was incredible. I just can’t imagine how much that monster must kick. Love it.
congratulations on 3 million! you really deserve it
Scott, I honestly think the .416 Rigby has the most penetration of any of your hunting rifles, because velocity is king and it has such a high FPS. Thats why its beating out much larger calibers.
That was seriously impressive to see didn’t think those shields would hold up to that must just be the fast rifle rounds that it don’t like. Great stuff Scott you keep us smiling always pal 👍🏻
As always a very entertaining video and the 700 Nitro is my favorite by far. The destructive power of that gun is very soothing. Stay safe and take care.
.416 as always is my fav!
The predator getting lit up 8n the slow motion was very cool!
It was again a fine video. Clear and constructive.
@0:20 I saw that coming a mile away 😂😂😂😂😂😂
at least he isn't mad tho
The 700 FMJ probably didn’t have much of a chance being its soft and has a huge amount of surface area but it’s crazy that it stopped the 577 brass solid. Wasn’t expecting that. Definitely level 4 haha.
Also props on 3M subs!!! 🔥🔥💜💜
He needs to try the Triple Action Thunder .50 BMG pistol by Triple Action, LLC.
Yeah I was thinking the 577 was going through it
It probably would easily stop. 50bmg has a fairly slow burning powder I’m pretty sure. On Edwin Sarkissian’s channel he had a couple 50bmg pistols mark serbu made with 10 inch barrels and they made a big boom but didnt do much damage compared to a full size rifle in 50bmg.
The serration profile on that OTF is badass
During WW I the British were getting taken apart by German snipers firing behind steel plate because the British guns couldn't penetrate the armor. That was until the British big game hunters started loaning their elephant guns to the war effort. They were typically 500 Nitro Express guns, and they went through the steel like butter. Although, one of the first British soldiers fired the gun while laying prone and shattered his collar bone.
Thanks for coming out and making a video man. We all know you feel like crap it means a lot that you can still come out and shoot for us. Merry Christmas to you and your family thanks for all you do!!!!!
Muito legal, parabéns. Tento sempre divulgar seu canal aqui no Brasil, sou um fã 😉👍🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
With the 30-6 you shot same bullet hole twice, Great shooting Scot. Love your videos keep them coming ❤

I loved all the guns and rifles! Awesome video!💪😎🇺🇲
Congrats on 3 million Scott! I love that HCAR but man that 416 Rigby is something else! Wonder what it would take to stop the 416? Maybe a Kentucky Kustom ballistic shield?🤔
Always love your videos. Keep em coming!
'Grats on 3m, brother! Love this channel!!!
Thanks for the great Christmas video 😊👍
When you brought out the HCAR and showed off a pretty much fully loaded mag, I was expecting a little Fall auto Friday tribute, may that series rest in peace. Also hope you get over your cold pretty quickly, mine's unfortunately kept me out of college.
Great video Scott! You absolutely have to check out the .500 Bushwhacker. It’s definitely a recoil junkie handgun.
Congratulations on the 3 million subscribers you deserve them brother never stop what you love doing
Congratulations on 3 million. You definitely deserve it!
