Fæcking yikes.

@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309This made me chuckle
Micah’s “stop cussing” followed by Mike’s sheepish “sorry” is perhaps my favorite moment
nah 2 seconds later charles fingering the gel and telling micah to get a top down view haha
That “sorry” was the most relatable thing for me
Charles goes into time out due to the things he do but mostly say
Yeah, gotta wonder what that's about.
@@itsdoc4271 some videos gotta be monetized. 🤣🤣
Charlie at 15:20: "It feels like... You know when she has seen other people..." Awesome, I´m still crying 🤣🤣🤣
💀
This quieter than the room after Charlie voices his intrusive thoughts…
Best comment.
🤣
quieter than when I walked into a feminist rally and asked why they were having a cow show
Funny and accurate
😂
The slowmo from the first 8.6 shot to the head, looked like a glory kill in doom eternal.
Absolutely crazy.
Greetings from Germany
Spot on.
Is it 8.6 mm?
@@Bently-dh7mk yes
We rediscovering the awesomeness of giant slow bullets like it's 1865 again
I don't think we ever had 1:3 twist barrel
@@Reculse you shouldn't twist your barrel, you'll go blind
I'm waiting too see someone look at barrier penetration or effect with this stuff because like 300 grains of angry copper sounds like a solid anti armor round
@@qh5545 I doubt that. This round is like the opposite of a magnum.
More like bringing it into the 21st-century
at 7:45 you realise how quiet that bullet is as you see a bird just casually fly by without a single care
Ngl when the bird turned I thought he hit the bird
I thought the bird got it too then I saw the bird do a 180 because it left the heat wave left in the air. 😅
14 lbs of hun too

i couldn't laugh at it now, but goddamn i wanted to, i held that laugh harder than i held my shit at school as a kid, i'll start calling charles "The Oyster Man" because in every episode he's in he spits out a pearl like this one
Charles is the funny incel we all need
I fucking lol'ed.
I live in north central Idaho and am disabled.I have to specialize my kit for back country elk to my ability.
The 8.6 was designed to run accurate at distance with short barrel.A 6 inch barrel folding bolt gun i can wear on my chest with without being unweildy is a game changer for me.....hope these do what i figure
What's the effective range ?
The twist rate means it's a bit harder at longer distances.
@@user-vk2cd9qw7i these guys are reaching at 500 all day long with no issues with a 6 inch barrel
@@andrewcarlson2178 500-600 is no problem making it well with in the standard I need
I'm really curious what disability and back-country elk hunting looks like. You should make a utube video. Most Americans are in too poor of health (self imposed disability) to backcountry ... anything. Being off trail is incredibly hard.
Holy fooook I’m dying! “Moms demand action rally, their as big as water buffalo” Charlie

0:06 The CIA when you discover how to make a water powered engine.
I hate to break it to you bro but they abandoned the steam engine after gasoline because its not steam powered its actually powered by whatever youre doing to turn the water to steam
@TheAnnoyingBoss It's a joke about how a person who made an engine which could apparently go for a number of miles on a cup of water what allegedly poisoned and killed by the CIA.
@@TheAnnoyingBosshe was talking about converting water to hydrogen
@@jakobevans-flick9745 even dumber
Ok Mr CIA man 😂 @TheAnnoyingBoss
Seeing the bullet spin upon exit in that first shot is so awesome
Gosh darn I need one.
I don’t think anyone except the designers of the round expected it would perform this well. I’m blown away
Sniper Elite moment.

This comment needs way more attention.
He was in the Airforce, not the Navy 😂
@@surfingtothestarsthat should make it worse.
Ong frfr 🔥🔥🔥👌
@@deangullberry5148Except that the Air Force didn't just release a photo of one of their rifles with the scope on backwards and the handrail hanging out of the delta ring. Like the Navy did.
Seeing a man just knuckle deep in a ballistic dummy was not how I thought I'd end my weekend.
5:11 "Ohhhh you remember when that lady dropped her kid at the" -clip changes- I'M WHEEZING 🤣
The one for me was "Barnes is drooooooopin homeboys " 😅 lmao
Thanks for letting Charles and his wisdom back on the channel, pure gold. I am sure he is a PR nightmare but we love him.
i think this cartridge gives you a lil more than a blackout...
Gives me a chubby.
@@ViolentbyDesignalmost 200 seemed to think so… 2 people agreed with you. Hmmm
@thelatenateshow7943 for the love of Democracy
Should be called the 8.6 Blowout
It's got some pun-ch.
Eh? Eh? Eh?
“So anyway I was at this beet farm” Honestly that’s the most sane comment from Charlie lol
Those spiraling wound channels look like a one way ticket to see the man upstairs, not to mention the total head removal..
Im gonna need about a three hour compilation of Charly and not just his lines but also his background shenanigans when Mike is talking
Yearly 4th of July Charlie compilation needs to be a thing. Or Christmas maybe.
That Last Line.
I love that nobody is ever prepaired for what Charlie says. He is literally the definition of "never let them know your next move"
I crashed a Moms demand action event at a bar, and I can confirm they are as big as water buffalo, they're as thirsty as one too when they're at a bar.
@@Jon_E Bestiality is a sin.
Where can I find a “moms demanding action” event? Asking for a friend
Well, they demand action.....
There must have been a lot of unresolved grief in that room. Drink that pain away.
@@Jon_E Cant cross species breed.
Never seen Garand Thumb speechless that many times in a video. 😂😂Charlie was really on a roll in this one!!
I’m glad you put your scope on the right way.
He was airforce not navy 😂
I can only imagine the amount of retakes after Charlie’s one liners 😂
Pretty sure they don't do retakes that's just his intrusive thoughts raw and their actual responses unless you mean things getting pulled for spice levels.
Bruh he unhinged
When I owned my gun shop we were direct dealers for Fort Scott Ammunition. That stuff is pure beauty. And, it performs as well as it looks. Machined projectiles.... oooooof.
I run the 300blk TUI, it’s great
The Suttle little stop cussing at 8:26 gave him mom ptsd for a second 😂😂 been there every time I visit the family 😂😅
1:3 twist rate is basically a corkscrew for a projectile. Also, Charlie wearing his Sunday best says it all. Now that's a church shirt!
We need that shirt
and he's flexing on us with that calculator Casio too Lol
Where can it be purchased?
@@quintonmartin5507 I don't know, but it's awesome.
Maybe a candidate for gain twist rifling?
Hey Mike, I’ve been watching your content for since 2019. You may not know it but your content has had a big impact on me and helped me find my calling an my country’s armed forces. Even though you don’t do as many of the army inside jokes, quips, and stand in front of a black background anymore, me and the boys still love the content every week. Keep it up man
“You know when she’s seeing other people“ Charley is a god
That cow tipping comment had Garand like, "Must...contain composure. Have to... keep...channel alive." 😆
This is a fantastic episode. I can’t wait to see what else becomes of 8.6 blackout.
It’s not getting SAAMI approved, so it’s peak will probably be paying grand thumb to make a video
When you said we are going to film the dummy in slow mo, you should’ve cut to slow mo footage of Charlie 😆
“Come on that shits expensive” has me dead 😂
😂😂😂 there it is.. I had to stop the video I was laughing so hard 😂😂😂
Very interesting video. And Charlie killed it with the dad advice.
...." and communists are not people " has to be the most based dad advice ever
I would add that pretend-not-to-be-communists aren't people either.
@davidrigli9082 I wrote it down. I have a few years before I have to have that chat with my daughter. Right now her language is some elvish mixed with drool dialect.
@@williamjeffersonclinton69 good for you....that just means you have a few years to add to it
This is probably the most interesting development in large game rifles in maybe a century. An AR-10 pattern that can be an effective stopping rifle while quiet to the boot is really something.
I forgot to include this in your last video but my local gun shop started playing your videos on a screen in their store it's awesome
Love this team. Charlie, Micah and the other guy are perfection.
Nice set guys loved it and forwarded it several times
Garand thumb= national icon
Charles= national treasure
Sunday morning ritual. Watching GT with my daughter. Love the channel and one of the reasons I changed my career and became a gunsmith. Cheers!
How do you explain Charlie to her? xd
@Tomemos1Jager honestly, some of the things he says have to be explained just from a comedic stand point, but, he doesn't really say anything much worse than her father.
@AnoneemusNoenameseems like you are exactly the person dad should keep his daughter away from
Did you get into gun smithing through SDI? I’m looking at giving it a shot when I get out of the army next year.
Move to OKC, apprentice at 2 Rivers Arms, become a preeminent AK builder@@oban6051
When you hammered the torso with the semi-auto you can see bone splinters just flying everywhere. Crazy round.
I've always appreciated the power and precision of subsonic ammunition, and this video only solidifies that. Keep up the good work!
Never thought of subsonic rounds as powerful and precise.
It's very interesting how some of these cartidges resemble extremely old full rifle cartridges that had a very LONG projectile and rounded nose. I don't know enough to know what the twist rates were for those old guns but I cannot imagine they are as tight as 8.7BLK. Fun to see how some older concepts mixed with new tech and modern manufacturing are becoming cutting edge
do we get plastic poisoning from watching these?
That 1:3 twist is insane!
Yes. The best gun innovations happen when you play with physics
When NASA tested and confirmed success at changing an asteroid's orbit by ramming a satellite with it, someone said we really are THAT good at throwing things. And the BLK is just another proof of that. Missiles, lasers, electronic CCs, but at the end of the day our best weapons will always be guns.
it makes sense for subsonics to be round nose. Makes the bullet heavier for the length, doesn't really need long range capability as much and is generally better at imparting energy into a target.
I want to be able to like this more than once. Great video
every video with charlie is a gem lmao
FR. Every time I see he isn’t in the video, it bums me out a little.
he really brings so much to the channel lmao, its like having class with your favorite teacher who loves the class clown too
“What size of large game?” “Has a popular show on TLC size game.”
I love those rifles from Q. I want one myself. I love that Kevin increased the amount of rotation the barrel gives. Which is what you guys see in the gel with the twisting through it. Also I used the information to write a paper while i was in SDI for gunsmithing lol
Did you find SDI worthwhile?

That round going thru the ballistic gel would look soo freakin awesome in super slow mo!
Watch the slo-mo at 0.25 speed.
@@blueeyeddevil1 still doesn’t do it justice at 250,000-1,000,000 fps tho
5:17 "This is the craziest wound track I've ever seen... In gel." EXCUSE ME WHAT?!
He did used to be in the military, plus gel is the only thing that can really be see through to see the wound track (either one could be the reason)
I don't believe that I laughed harder at any other episode! Thank you gentlemen. My wife walked into the room just before the head shot. I laughed so hard at her reaction!
Holy hell, Charlie Coks is on fire! Love the shirt as well. Is that available for purchase somewhere?
Here because I want the shirt also
Same lol
Me three
Hello ,this is patrick!
Holy Cow! How is it possible I have never seen you guys. This is the BEST channel I have ever seen/heard/heard of. I have been in South America working on research for my doctorate degree and totally missed this. You guys are AWESOME! Thank you for making the gun life fun again. You guys are the best combination of technical acumen and humorous (intelligent) commentary. I LOVE IT!!! Sign me up. Where is the donate button? I found my People!
Please keep the videos coming, this one had some of the best one liners ever
Oh man, I'm jealous. I still haven't finished my 12.5" Faxon 8.6 BO build. I've got some Gorilla 285gr Fracturing Subsonic ammo, and have been waiting to see how they perform. Thanks for the great video !
That should be interesting 😎
Those spiral twists in the ballistic gels are a work of art
If you could somehow make a mold of it.... that would be awesome.
I JUST watched the Demo Ranch video on this cartridge last night. Good timing!
Charles just had me rolling today, top form
Garrand thumb is literally the best gun show you can watch if you want to know how the shit works
"Top down view, Micah"
This is peak Charlie.
Edit: 12:22 is peak.
Garand's laugh is exactly like Tucker's, lol.
Charlie:“Its curved on the end…..huh Micah”
Michah: “Why you saying that”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This round is changing everything! Gotta get one!
Im not even halfway through the video and I've decided to add an 8.6 to my collection.
It's fun and I have yet to have someone dislike shooting it. It just gets expensive to shoot if you don't reload it. It can be anywhere from $50-90 for a box of 20, depending on the shipping and what load you go with. It's as easy as doing a 300blk swap for an ar15 just need the barrel and gas block then it's a straight swap for a AR308/LR308, everything else is the same even my bolt is for a .308
Charles went hard today 😂 I loved it! And an awesome round. Hope it makes enough of an impact to become common in the market.
The absolutely insane energy transfer. You see it in the slow motion. The round is just zipping, makes contact comes out at like half the speed and is wobbling. Meanwhile the head is just sent in pieces to the next area code.
Banger of an episode. Everyone had jokes and that dad advice🔥
Charles...on point with the dad advice, as always.
Wow, the intro beat and the bullet impact sound matched❤❤❤❤
Charlie is a guy i probably would lose my mind with hanging out but i would love to see him do standup
Charles with 3 all time bangers in the first three minutes.
I don't know much about art, but that second wound channel was amazing!
Now this is a ballistic test I'm interested in
This was the Charles episode we all needed. So many great lines from the cow tipping comment to using 8.6 to eliminate Chesters.
2:33… That’s an Amazing bit of Foreshadowing.
Uncannily called out an “Agency -crook” BlackRock prime patsy..
Rad🤙🏻
This is gonna be fun😌(and basically 5k views in 10 mins? Congrats guys!)
6:15 Second one literally tries to twist the whole gel block around. Epic
Charlie was ON in this one, he was in absolutely top form, and I appreciate it.
The Lab Coat is back, time to get some scientific data
Easily one of my favorite youtubers on here. Keep killing it fellas!!
I’ve been an off and on watcher of the channel over the last few years and never really noticed Charles’ comedy but he really took it to 11 in this one. Had me laughing the whole time and had to rewind multiple times for the actual info in the video.
Finally. I've been hoping y'all would make this video for a long long time
Charles' atf shirt is so based holy shit!
this is for when that bear in your back yard won't leave
Charles was in rare form in this video. A+
Incredible round.
Definitely means business....
Great video...
Can we talk about how awesome Charlie’s shirt is!! Absolutely amazing.
Charlie is a national treasure and must be protected at any cost.
I am working a lot. I could have had the first Semi(That worked), in this round. Thanks for the video! Mika, you are awesome!
By the way, just use old 6.5 creedmore brass. I shoot F-class, so I went from Starline LRP brass to Lapua SRP brass(Guess what the Starline brass became). Then get Accurate 1680. And some .338 bullets (It has to be bonded) and you can make your own for less than $1 a round.
We luv ya Charlie... we damn sure don't know what we would do without you.
8.6 isn't a cost effective round. Like the 5.7 cost per bullet is honestly outrageous and not worth buying the gun for the ammunition or buying the ammunition for the gun.. 5.56 (M855) 5.45, 9mm, 12Ga, .22 are still my Mass Ammo groups for when shit hits the fan
@Garandthumb According to the US Navy, you've got your LPVO mounted backwards. Just lookin' out for ya.
Hard to pinpoint my favorite moment in this. The subtle finger blasting of the ballistic gel at 8:41 really got me! 😂
Same bro
Same i knew i had to come to the comments after i seen that
I feel like Charles goal in this video was to piss off mike as much as he could 😂
Charles is getting more and more out of pocket with each episode and I’m 100% here for it
I was hoping yall would test this on body armor. Amazing video
This video was amazing.
But my favourite part was the dad advice 🤣🤣
