The flachette rounds were used during Vietnam because they had lower recoil and were extremely adept at penetrating heavy vegetation. Originally, they were designed with stabilizers on the back end and dumped onto trenches in World War 1 or 2 (can’t remember which). They were extremely effective because they could punch straight through a soldiers helmet, but were eventually deemed illegal in battle. It’s actually a pretty fascinating piece of warfare history.

There was one type of round that I remember my dad purchased. He had it in 12 gauge, and also .45. it was essentially marketed to those who are older and only need one shot to make it count. The round basically would split apart like an x with a wire holding all 4 pieces together, and would turn your .45 into a shotgun, or a shotgun, into a bigger shotgun.

The "double slug" sounds cool/devastating; but it's only useful if the two slugs actually spread out - if they travel in the exact same line it's no different than shooting with one slug.
That should have been the first one he tested. I think being on the same line is fine because when the first slows down and expands, the second one would crash into it causing greater expansion and energy dump while exploding the first in every direction. Both shots in this test basically passed through without hitting anything.
I don't think it's anymore effective than a single slug. I've seen this load tested before and the second slug went through the opening created by the temporary stretch cavity, doing nothing to aid in wounding. At long distance (for a shotgun) maybe it would increase your chance of hitting something important.
When I read "exotic rounds" I was kind of expecting some good ol' Dragon's Breath lol, but these were all really cool rounds to see in action. I think I liked the piranha shells the most out of them all. Also, good to see some Maverick action! I got one myself earlier this year and I love it. I want to give it some good upgrades someday in the future if I can get the money
I'd love to see you try this with a pack of 12 gauge HESH rounds. They're basically slugs with a .22lr blank inside and are designed to explode on impact, kind of like how anti-tank rounds work.
In conclusion, I wouldn’t want to be on the other side of any of these shells. That 404 tenderizer was an absolute menace though. Also that’s a top notch tape job to hold up against multiple shotgun blasts💀
@@ZerotheWanderer taofledermaus accepts strange rounds sent in to them and loads them up and tests them, no problem. They get custom slugs from the USA and many foreign countries.
I am both amazed and horrified by the effectiveness of the flechette and piranha rounds. Also, I absolutely love how over-the-top the moment at 14:45 was.
After reading “exotic rounds” I was almost expecting a Taofledermaus collaboration. Best experimental/exotic round testing channel on TH-cam! Another great video Scott!
For background see this video. I’d link the original video but apparently Jeff took enough heat for it he took it down… th-cam.com/video/n0SK1JJGb-o/w-d-xo.html
Funnily enough I was too. I ended up watching a bunch of videos from various obese, mouth-breathing yokels instead. Gun videos without Kentucky Ballistics is an unpleasant fate. 😂
Ever since you guys added the slow motion cameras, the videos are so much better than most of the other gun tubers. I love how you’re channel has grown so big!
I know I'm a year late. Back in the 90s at a gunshow, I saw chain mail shells that had a 7 inch chain in them. I also remember seeing flame thrower shells. Would love to see those two.
Field expedient "slugs" - Take inexpensive trap/skeet loads and cut around the shell at the wad but not all the way through. Upon firing the entire front of the shell leaves as one, essentially acting as a slug. This was the way old timers used their shotguns to harvest deer during the great depression due to the only available ammunition at the time and the need to provide for their family. EDIT: WARNING - Cut shells can be extremely dangerous, do not attempt and leave this technique in theory. Only professionals in controlled environments may attempt. Stay safe
That was indeed interesting. I wonder if you would review some 12 gauge PYRO rounds? Like Bear Bangers, Tracers, Flares, Bird Bombs, Dragon's Breath, etc... Whatever goes boom at both ends or makes colorful images. Thanks for this one!
1000 years from now archeologists will be digging up the land that is your range and say to themselves, “what the actual **** happened here?” On a slightly more serious note, ballistic machinist claims its brass pellet will penetrate Kevlar, so it might be interesting to see what this shell can do on body armor and various other targets.
I'm still amazed by the Tenderizer. It's awesome to see it on a ballistic torso. I first saw that shell tested by Taofladermaus (or however you you spell it 😂)... with impressive results.
Fun fact: Before the advent of Hardpoints for mounting munitions on planes, in WW1 pilots often carried a bucket of bombs, mortars, grenades between their legs or in their laps. This sometimes consisted of flechettes (pronounced FLEH-shets btw) which were basically like lead or iron lawn darts, dropped from the aircraft by hand into the enemy trenches and fighting positions.
They where disgarded as they where inconsistent and alot of time dodnt build up enough speed to do enough damage. They also where hard to aim and hardly ever hit the targets
I used to hear that they would take frag grenades and jam it in a tight glass jar so the spoon wouldn't come out and pull the pin then drop it out so when it hit the ground the glass would shatter and the grenade would go off shortly after
They used flechettes during the Victorian Era on battle ships mostly to cause damage to sails an when being shot out a Canon at the upper deck could cause massive amounts of injuries an death
I think it would be cool to see what these same rounds to in ballistic gel blocks to see what they really do in ballistic gel since we already know their effectiveness
The flechette (in Kentuck, pronounced “Flee Chets”) work direct fired from a 105mm howitzer. The piranha nails are just like IED wounds because IEDs are usually wrapped with shrapnel. The bolo macho gusto grande thing that did not work is chain shot from around the 16th century. Good to see to see George Zip hasn’t beaten that problem. The double slug was bound to not work, besides have you shot something with a 12 ga slug and needed to immediately shoot it again? As for interesting topics, how about comparing shotguns by chambering (10, 12, 16, 20, 28, .410, .22LR). Show what Winchester AA #9 looks like compared to from a 20. That would be interesting.
But to clarify..the piranha round is a compact ied. Having been trained on them they're usually black powder or some easily ignited explosive compacted with nails and ball bearings. Ive seen ied's made out of pepsi cans that could destroy armored humvees.
4:17 It's pronounced as fleshet. This is a round I'm familiar with in the video game I play. And I wasn't surprised of how badly of an effect it had on the dummy. What I was surprised about was how one of the darts just zipped right through the dummy and almost made it out the back.
I'm upset that you didn't get the Dragon's Breathe rounds, you would have had a blast using those to light the zombie torsos up. But those exotic rounds were great.
Haven't you ever reloaded your own shotgun shells? Ive put 1/4 - 20 nuts, gravel, rock salt, dimes, ball bearings, roller bearings, my own buck shot its fun! Try it
The piranha round to me is the most terrifying, you have a decent chance of living through getting shot by it but you absolutely do not want to live through that. Edit: if you're shot from a distance, I hadn't seen the point blank shot to the head when I made the comment.
Same here, that round should be straight up illegal considering how horrifying the damage from it is. Its light overall, its the part where you have to remove all of the needles thats just nightmare fuel.
@@PearlJam2k6 ohh definitely I can't imagine how long the surgery would be to remove all the nails, if you even could. I'm 99% sure those rounds would be considered a war crime
@@locketom: Got my shotgun loaded with dragons breath, first round. Buckshot second round. In a home invasion, I may burn the house down, but the guy coming thru the door will be fried to a crispy crunch then blown apart. Dragons breathe advertises it burns at 5000 degrees. Taking that at point blank range would be horrible.
I liked the one called the "Brass Pellet" from Ballistic Machine. When Taoflederrmaus tested it it was accurate and even made it through the 30lb lead plate he uses. That's my pick.
Yeah, I was gonna say, I think I've seen some of these on TFM. Pretty much everything they've tested from Ballistic Machinist has been seriously nasty.
Flashbang and dragons breath are gnarly. Same with the glazer shells. Glazers are hollowpoints with birdshot packed into the nose with a small explosive charge for better armor piercing capabilities. They are very rare *I'm told.
I don't doubt there is a shotgun load like you describe, minus the explosive, but it isn't a Glaser. Glaser Safety Slugs are all handgun cartridges. They also aren't explosive, or armor penetrating. They're frangible, which means they actually don't penetrate much at all, as they're designed to break apart immediately on impact to prevent any over penetration. Just a thin copper jacket filled with shot, and capped in the front with polymer.
@@jeremybriggs1707 I had Glaser Blues in my derringer when I had a self defense shooting. My friends are still ragging me because the guy was found 2 blocks away begging for an ambulance. He was on the news,showing the bulge in his belly because the rounds were still in him. He was saying that it was all his fault that he shouldn't have done it & was never going to do anything like it again
The flechettes were called 'nails' in Vietnam. 105mm artillery rounds were called 'beehives', and were brutally effective at breaking up human wave attacks on firebases. They were also used in air-to-ground rockets.
The piranha round left much more of an impression than I thought it would. As you said, it would probably work well as a cruel way of flipping a coin whether a home invader makes it or not. I'm negatively biased against flechette because videogames treat it as "buckshot but armor-piercing", but gotta say it also held well, though I still consider flechette being better off being shrapnel for bombs and last I minded checking I believe they don't do those any longer.
Flechette is *cover* piercing. Leaves don't lower its energy and it's a smaller diameter than buckshot so less likely to hit the tiny branches of bushes and such and go flying off target. Good for use in a jungle.
@@Psilomuscimol I bwlieve the story behind flechettes in shltguns is they were manufacturing and using them for the creation of munitions (meaning cannon rounds and bombs), but the Geneva Convention banned them for that use so now they had a ton of stock of flechettes and the choice either to melt them, or find another use for them with some other weapon.
The Fletchettes at 4:28 certainly sounded different! The "Tenderizer" acted somewhat like a Vietnam employed Claymore. I would love to see a 12 gauge mini-grenade?
i do not think those are legal to buy however i am pretty sure you can fill a 12 guage with sodium potassium alloy (which reacts violently to moisture)
The"Bee Hive". Forgotten the stats on it. I do recall a Vietnam Vet telling me that it would clear out everything in front of the cannon that fired it. Said that it was not wise to stick your head up to see what was going on. He mentioned the 105 mm Howitzer. Does anyone know if there was one for the 155?
I've looked at this ammo before on their website, and I was always curious as to see how it would perform and to my suprise, Scott the madlad went and bought em. True hero
Isn’t buckshot the best? Naturally some spread helps ensure you at least get a partial hit. Otherwise for max stopping power nothing beats the gatekeeper round , tfm had it on their channel recently
I love all of Scott’s videos i dont know how to explain it, it just brings joy to my live and makes me happy. And he’s very inspirational taking whats he’s gone through and never stopped doing what he loves! 👍
I would like to see the tenderizer rounds in a full-auto shotgun with a few more zombies and just mow them down you know for (science purposes) i bet Brandon can get you the shotgun if you don't already have one😁and he can bring some cool stuff too...we need more of this. give the people what they want!! Stay Awesome brother 👍
Tbh the most interesting ones to me out of this I believe was the shells with the darts and the piranha shells, I’d like to see somewhere test the spread and also how far away it is still lethal, idk for some reason it kind of makes me think of it being like a very lethal birdshot round cause the projectiles are so small but birdshot far away obviously loses its power of being lethal but how much spread it can get compared to other rounds would really make anyone a decent shot, so I’d like to know how much they spread and are still lethal very cool rounds
I think the spread starts to become super unpredictable and wide when it's about 12 feet out. They start to lose too much velocity as well. My cousin shot some at a target 15 yards out, and it had a spread of about 6ft diameter. Then, at 7 yards out, he shot at a target, and the flechettes would either bounce off or penetrate no more than 3/4 inch. And he was shooting a phone book. The .22 had more penetration at a further distance. I still wouldn't want to get shot with flechettes at close range though they're made to maim
The Macho-Gacho rounds are interesting, would love to see that idea develop more. The Piranha rounds are just plain mean, would only use on small vermin. The Triple-Decker and Tenderizer rounds are so deadly looking.👌💀👍
Would be curious to see how some of the weird self defense ammo performs against ballistic zombie dummies, whether it's the old glaser safety slugs or the g2 RIP ammo, or just generic frangible ammo On an unrelated note, I would also be curious to see how much damage the zombie torso would take from blunt force trauma while wearing armor Something like a shotgun slug while it's wearing soft armor
Fwiw: Mossberg Maverick 18.5” Seriously, $199 - $250. If you are a first time gun owner just looking for and affordable home defense shotty, then this is a reliable and affordable option.
so basically, you have slug with extra steps and buckshot with extra steps. neat. somebody out there has a amazing good job, coming up with ideas for these
Seeing Scott dump an entire drum magazine from an AA-12 filled with any of these rounds, would be EPIC!! Or maybe even an exotic round medley all mixed together. That slow-mo would be hilariously awesome.
I liked those rounds, especially the Tenderizer, Piranha and that one with the solid brass! Absolutely devastating! Kinda sad you didn’t say “NAILED IT” with the Piranha round 😂

Also, good to see some Maverick action! I got one myself earlier this year and I love it. I want to give it some good upgrades someday in the future if I can get the money
I was expecting the dragon breath too. Nevertheless, those were some cool loads..
Ikr those are the types of rounds i love too see
Oh weird, when I read "exotic rounds" I was kind of expecting tassles and lace
@@DisgrunteledDachshund Say,has anybody seen my sweet Gypsy Rose?
Flechette is not hard to say!
I'd love to see you try this with a pack of 12 gauge HESH rounds. They're basically slugs with a .22lr blank inside and are designed to explode on impact, kind of like how anti-tank rounds work.
That sounds awesome, hope Scott sees this
HESH actually is not the main ammo used against tank, HEAT is more common but I got the point.
I really can’t thank you enough. You are my window into the fun side of firearms ownership
My opinion the tenderizer was the WOW round. Great opener again Scott. Better and better
In conclusion, I wouldn’t want to be on the other side of any of these shells. That 404 tenderizer was an absolute menace though. Also that’s a top notch tape job to hold up against multiple shotgun blasts💀
404gr
Prooves that the right tape even saves you from falling appart from shotgun shells
410?! That’s a 12 gauge!
@@ghostdog2041 I meant 404
I vote on having Matt do a throwback to his olden days and he makes some exotic shotgun rounds for you to test.
A man of culture I see
I believe Matt went over why he couldn't do that anymore, it'd be "manufacturing ammunition" and that's against YT ToS now.
"Sissy Boy Matt" Meh...
@@ZerotheWanderer taofledermaus accepts strange rounds sent in to them and loads them up and tests them, no problem. They get custom slugs from the USA and many foreign countries.
@@markfergerson2145 they occasionally make their own too. Scott should ask them for some wonky and rare rounds
MAN! When that tenderizer hit that was awesome...and then he Red Greened him back together! Great stuff!!😄
The moment someone handed Scott a slow motion camera, the world became a better place 👍
I am both amazed and horrified by the effectiveness of the flechette and piranha rounds. Also, I absolutely love how over-the-top the moment at 14:45 was.
Flechettes are truly one of the meanest things you can do to someone lmao
@@WeAre1Legion yeah, messing up a guy with a shotgun is pretty mean.
It's never over the top on this channel
Look up SCMITR rounds, they were rzore blades fired out of the AAI CAWS.
Horrified lol
After reading “exotic rounds” I was almost expecting a Taofledermaus collaboration. Best experimental/exotic round testing channel on TH-cam!
Another great video Scott!
Those lads are amazing
TF has tested all of these before, so that would be redundant for them.
After the way Jeff responded to Scott’s video after the Serbu exploded I highly doubt that will _ever_ happen. lol
For background see this video. I’d link the original video but apparently Jeff took enough heat for it he took it down…
th-cam.com/video/n0SK1JJGb-o/w-d-xo.html
Jeff did test a lot of Ballistic Machinist's rounds
Scott's videos never fail to make my day. What a great American
I was literally searching for this type of video last night and hoped you had one. Now it has come true.
Funnily enough I was too. I ended up watching a bunch of videos from various obese, mouth-breathing yokels instead. Gun videos without Kentucky Ballistics is an unpleasant fate. 😂
I do need to have my STI tested for more boost. Lmao 😂🤣
You might like Taofledermaus
@@Preussenpenner I have been watching them, I like their sense of humor too
Ever since you guys added the slow motion cameras, the videos are so much better than most of the other gun tubers. I love how you’re channel has grown so big!
Best thing about a 12 guage: even if it's just marbles or thumbtacks, it will still work
Beans!
I know I'm a year late. Back in the 90s at a gunshow, I saw chain mail shells that had a 7 inch chain in them. I also remember seeing flame thrower shells. Would love to see those two.
The ballistic machinist rounds are the most deadly I have seen. The “tenderizer” round sent bone fragments flying!!! Love it!
Field expedient "slugs"
- Take inexpensive trap/skeet loads and cut around the shell at the wad but not all the way through.
Upon firing the entire front of the shell leaves as one, essentially acting as a slug.
This was the way old timers used their shotguns to harvest deer during the great depression due to the only available ammunition at the time and the need to provide for their family.
EDIT: WARNING - Cut shells can be extremely dangerous, do not attempt and leave this technique in theory. Only professionals in controlled environments may attempt.
Stay safe
“Cut shells”
Better to buy 7 1/2 loads open with a small Screwdriver and dump them out fill with equal or lesser weight of buckshot or carpet nails!
Cut shells can be extremely dangerous. Might want to warn people of that and go look up some of the failures of them.
@@TwentyTwoSigma Thank you for pointing this out, I will edit this comment to reflect this warning.
@@TwentyTwoSigma yep overpressure can cause burst barrels at best death at worst!
That was indeed interesting. I wonder if you would review some 12 gauge PYRO rounds? Like Bear Bangers, Tracers, Flares, Bird Bombs, Dragon's Breath, etc... Whatever goes boom at both ends or makes colorful images. Thanks for this one!
That's what I was gonna suggest. Some stuff from War Wolf Ordinance!
Is it bad that I read this like Joe dirt?
Absolutely!. Great suggestion lol bear bangers indoors or in a car 🤣
@@WINTEJER000 I don't know - how does Joe Dirt read?
Colorful images? Don't think there's any shotgun rounds that do that. Lol
This channel is the definition of “True American”
1000 years from now archeologists will be digging up the land that is your range and say to themselves, “what the actual **** happened here?”
On a slightly more serious note, ballistic machinist claims its brass pellet will penetrate Kevlar, so it might be interesting to see what this shell can do on body armor and various other targets.
so we can predict things that happened millions of years ago but we cant infer some recreational shooting? lol
@@cute_smol_kat the not fun at parties association called they want you back on wednesday
😂😂😂
As technology advances, humanity is on a slow decline. There would be other inhabitants by then or at least post apocalyptic stone age.
@@cute_smol_kat We can guess at things that happened millions of years ago.😉
I'm still amazed by the Tenderizer. It's awesome to see it on a ballistic torso. I first saw that shell tested by Taofladermaus (or however you you spell it 😂)... with impressive results.
As always, great subject matter, great entertainment, great information. Slow-motion really tells the tale.
Would love to see more of that tenderizer round. The shockwave was insane. Maybe how many zombie it can go through/balloon?
IIRC Taofledermaus tested some of the prototypes for that round. They were nasty then, and equally nasty now.
@@vicroc4 this is true.......
Fun fact: Before the advent of Hardpoints for mounting munitions on planes, in WW1 pilots often carried a bucket of bombs, mortars, grenades between their legs or in their laps. This sometimes consisted of flechettes (pronounced FLEH-shets btw) which were basically like lead or iron lawn darts, dropped from the aircraft by hand into the enemy trenches and fighting positions.
Cool!
They where disgarded as they where inconsistent and alot of time dodnt build up enough speed to do enough damage. They also where hard to aim and hardly ever hit the targets
I used to hear that they would take frag grenades and jam it in a tight glass jar so the spoon wouldn't come out and pull the pin then drop it out so when it hit the ground the glass would shatter and the grenade would go off shortly after
They used flechettes during the Victorian Era on battle ships mostly to cause damage to sails an when being shot out a Canon at the upper deck could cause massive amounts of injuries an death
Actually it is pronouced as Fluh-chea
"Our zombies turned into a mummy" lmao THIS is why I love this channel so much, Scott is hilarious!
As a resident of Northern Rhodesia(🇿🇲 )7:24 I’d like to inform everyone that we played no part in manufacturing the lackluster shells😂
the purpose of the “lackluster rounds is to destroy vegetation by shooting bird shot up front and the regular ammo in the back so it stays accurate
I think it would be cool to see what these same rounds to in ballistic gel blocks to see what they really do in ballistic gel since we already know their effectiveness
Question: How do you dispose of demolished zombie torsos without local authorities thinking that you are dumping bodies?
Well I suppose the same way you do dead bodies. But I would label them "Not a human I promise" hahahah
Thats the neat part u don't
The flechette (in Kentuck, pronounced “Flee Chets”) work direct fired from a 105mm howitzer. The piranha nails are just like IED wounds because IEDs are usually wrapped with shrapnel. The bolo macho gusto grande thing that did not work is chain shot from around the 16th century. Good to see to see George Zip hasn’t beaten that problem. The double slug was bound to not work, besides have you shot something with a 12 ga slug and needed to immediately shoot it again?
As for interesting topics, how about comparing shotguns by chambering (10, 12, 16, 20, 28, .410, .22LR). Show what Winchester AA #9 looks like compared to from a 20. That would be interesting.
Im pretty shure the chain round went trough and snapped the spine on the way out so pretty much it worked.
The correct (and easy) pronunciation is "flesh-ets." Any Kentuckian can say that!
@@Breakfast_and_Bullets Lmao haven’t heard one person in Ky say Flee Chet’s.
@@Breakfast_and_Bullets flay•shets that way its at least somewhat correct.
But to clarify..the piranha round is a compact ied. Having been trained on them they're usually black powder or some easily ignited explosive compacted with nails and ball bearings. Ive seen ied's made out of pepsi cans that could destroy armored humvees.
Scott, your intros alone are worth the video! And all the content is always so fun!
4:17 It's pronounced as fleshet. This is a round I'm familiar with in the video game I play. And I wasn't surprised of how badly of an effect it had on the dummy. What I was surprised about was how one of the darts just zipped right through the dummy and almost made it out the back.
i've heard that from brandon
I've always said it with a ch instead of a sh sound, but that's me.
PF?
Those things were dropped out of planes onto soldiers in WW1, scary stuff
Would you happen to play Hunt Showdown?
Just shows how serious a shotgun is even when using gimmick ammunition wow
I'm upset that you didn't get the Dragon's Breathe rounds, you would have had a blast using those to light the zombie torsos up. But those exotic rounds were great.
Haven't you ever reloaded your own shotgun shells? Ive put 1/4 - 20 nuts, gravel, rock salt, dimes, ball bearings, roller bearings, my own buck shot its fun! Try it
The piranha round to me is the most terrifying, you have a decent chance of living through getting shot by it but you absolutely do not want to live through that.
Edit: if you're shot from a distance, I hadn't seen the point blank shot to the head when I made the comment.
Same here, that round should be straight up illegal considering how horrifying the damage from it is. Its light overall, its the part where you have to remove all of the needles thats just nightmare fuel.
@@PearlJam2k6 ohh definitely I can't imagine how long the surgery would be to remove all the nails, if you even could. I'm 99% sure those rounds would be considered a war crime
@@locketom: Got my shotgun loaded with dragons breath, first round. Buckshot second round. In a home invasion, I may burn the house down, but the guy coming thru the door will be fried to a crispy crunch then blown apart. Dragons breathe advertises it burns at 5000 degrees. Taking that at point blank range would be horrible.
I mean there's a reason that flechettes are banned for use in war
I liked the one called the "Brass Pellet" from Ballistic Machine. When Taoflederrmaus tested it it was accurate and even made it through the 30lb lead plate he uses. That's my pick.
TFM is using lithium batteries today.
Yeah, I was gonna say, I think I've seen some of these on TFM. Pretty much everything they've tested from Ballistic Machinist has been seriously nasty.
Flashbang and dragons breath are gnarly.
Same with the glazer shells.
Glazers are hollowpoints with birdshot packed into the nose with a small explosive charge for better armor piercing capabilities. They are very rare *I'm told.
I don't doubt there is a shotgun load like you describe, minus the explosive, but it isn't a Glaser. Glaser Safety Slugs are all handgun cartridges. They also aren't explosive, or armor penetrating. They're frangible, which means they actually don't penetrate much at all, as they're designed to break apart immediately on impact to prevent any over penetration. Just a thin copper jacket filled with shot, and capped in the front with polymer.
I've heard the Brenneke special forces round is ridiculously good penetration wise but I've never seen it stock.
@@CptLang97 There are (were?) Glaser rounds in rifle calibers.
Birdshot set into epoxy
@@doughesson those or Magsafe. Marketed towards SRT types but even today with 9 mm being $2 a round they were over priced and under preforming
@@jeremybriggs1707 I had Glaser Blues in my derringer when I had a self defense shooting.
My friends are still ragging me because the guy was found 2 blocks away begging for an ambulance.
He was on the news,showing the bulge in his belly because the rounds were still in him.
He was saying that it was all his fault that he shouldn't have done it & was never going to do anything like it again
The flechettes were called 'nails' in Vietnam. 105mm artillery rounds were called 'beehives', and were brutally effective at breaking up human wave attacks on firebases. They were also used in air-to-ground rockets.
The piranha round left much more of an impression than I thought it would. As you said, it would probably work well as a cruel way of flipping a coin whether a home invader makes it or not.
I'm negatively biased against flechette because videogames treat it as "buckshot but armor-piercing", but gotta say it also held well, though I still consider flechette being better off being shrapnel for bombs and last I minded checking I believe they don't do those any longer.
Games also give it range
Flechette is *cover* piercing. Leaves don't lower its energy and it's a smaller diameter than buckshot so less likely to hit the tiny branches of bushes and such and go flying off target. Good for use in a jungle.
They have artillery with flechettes.
Underbarrel flechettes and flechette tank rounds.
@@Psilomuscimol I bwlieve the story behind flechettes in shltguns is they were manufacturing and using them for the creation of munitions (meaning cannon rounds and bombs), but the Geneva Convention banned them for that use so now they had a ton of stock of flechettes and the choice either to melt them, or find another use for them with some other weapon.
When my dad was in Vietnam one of his favorite load-outs was a shotgun with 200 rounds of Flechettes. He said it worked very well in the jungle.
That’s a war crime 😐
@@lymbnero They were not illegal until 1980. His service in Vietnam was in the 60's. So no, it wasn't a war crime.
@@joeadams9396 not a war crime if they dont find out
The Fletchettes at 4:28 certainly sounded different! The "Tenderizer" acted somewhat like a Vietnam employed Claymore. I would love to see a 12 gauge mini-grenade?
12 ga. Mini grenade? Wow! 😱
i do not think those are legal to buy
however i am pretty sure you can fill a 12 guage with sodium potassium alloy (which reacts violently to moisture)
Lol I mean frag 12 I got a tub of 15000 of those gaven to me
The"Bee Hive". Forgotten the stats on it. I do recall a Vietnam Vet telling me that it would clear out everything in front of the cannon that fired it. Said that it was not wise to stick your head up to see what was going on. He mentioned the 105 mm Howitzer. Does anyone know if there was one for the 155?
After I posted the information above, I remembered that the Vet who told me about the Bee Hive was stationed at Khe Sanh during the Tet Offensive..
I love that a Low Price Mav 88 handled all that!
14:10 that is some smooth transition from slowmo to normal speed well done! Also awsome rounds lol
Honestly amazed at how straight that tenderizer went into the target.
Yeah you'd think it would tumble after being fired. Although I don't think that would make it any less lethal lol
One of the first videos I've seen where the flechette round actually did its job. Thanks for the vid!
The tenderizer is one serious round.. The energy is insane
12:54 is why we are all here! lol Great Work!
I've looked at this ammo before on their website, and I was always curious as to see how it would perform and to my suprise, Scott the madlad went and bought em. True hero
Those flechette and piranha rounds are scary! id love to see more of the tenderizer though.
9:44 that moment of satisfaction when one end of the tap met another 😂😂
The tenderizer round in insane! Definitely would work well for home defense.
Might be a bit too much, really. I'd be scared of over penetrating.
Their marketing department should include a discount coupon for the rental of a carpet cleaning machine.
Yea behind your neighbors fridge 😂
Good luck trying to find the intruder after that round, jeeze
Isn’t buckshot the best? Naturally some spread helps ensure you at least get a partial hit.
Otherwise for max stopping power nothing beats the gatekeeper round , tfm had it on their channel recently
I love all of Scott’s videos i dont know how to explain it, it just brings joy to my live and makes me happy. And he’s very inspirational taking whats he’s gone through and never stopped doing what he loves! 👍
You're officially the new Demolition Ranch. The crazy shotgun shells were always his best videos.
You've probably already heard of them, but if not the Taofledermaus channel has vids of crazy shotgun rounds they've made and fans have sent in
Wow he really just let those intrusive thoughts win for the last couple minutes
I would like to see the tenderizer rounds in a full-auto shotgun with a few more zombies and just mow them down
you know for (science purposes) i bet Brandon can get you the shotgun if you don't already have one😁and he can bring some cool stuff too...we need more of this. give the people what they want!! Stay Awesome brother 👍
And the explosive shotgun rounds using binary explosives (unfortunately REAL explosive slugs like the FRAG-12 are illegal)
12:42 Boom..... headshot
Tbh the most interesting ones to me out of this I believe was the shells with the darts and the piranha shells, I’d like to see somewhere test the spread and also how far away it is still lethal, idk for some reason it kind of makes me think of it being like a very lethal birdshot round cause the projectiles are so small but birdshot far away obviously loses its power of being lethal but how much spread it can get compared to other rounds would really make anyone a decent shot, so I’d like to know how much they spread and are still lethal very cool rounds
guys be like: shotgun plus arrows?
yes, how did you know i was just thinking that
I think the spread starts to become super unpredictable and wide when it's about 12 feet out. They start to lose too much velocity as well. My cousin shot some at a target 15 yards out, and it had a spread of about 6ft diameter. Then, at 7 yards out, he shot at a target, and the flechettes would either bounce off or penetrate no more than 3/4 inch. And he was shooting a phone book. The .22 had more penetration at a further distance. I still wouldn't want to get shot with flechettes at close range though they're made to maim
The Macho-Gacho rounds are interesting, would love to see that idea develop more. The Piranha rounds are just plain mean, would only use on small vermin. The Triple-Decker and Tenderizer rounds are so deadly looking.👌💀👍
The tenderizer seemed most impressive. I’ve made my own flechette rounds before. Back in the day I had some dragons breath rounds.
Would be curious to see how some of the weird self defense ammo performs against ballistic zombie dummies, whether it's the old glaser safety slugs or the g2 RIP ammo, or just generic frangible ammo
On an unrelated note, I would also be curious to see how much damage the zombie torso would take from blunt force trauma while wearing armor
Something like a shotgun slug while it's wearing soft armor
8:55 i think those bolo rounds almost beheaded him b4
Fwiw: Mossberg Maverick 18.5” Seriously, $199 - $250. If you are a first time gun owner just looking for and affordable home defense shotty, then this is a reliable and affordable option.
That tenderizer round was pretty goddamn fatal. I don't think I've seen a shotgun round do that much damage.
10:10 garand thumb needs to learn some of that kentucky medicine
It always makes my day so much better when Scott posts.
so basically, you have slug with extra steps and buckshot with extra steps. neat. somebody out there has a amazing good job, coming up with ideas for these
Seeing Scott dump an entire drum magazine from an AA-12 filled with any of these rounds, would be EPIC!! Or maybe even an exotic round medley all mixed together. That slow-mo would be hilariously awesome.
Especially if it ended with dragons breath or tracers of some sort. And you can make your own dragons breath.
10:58 impressed with his tape job (:
Same here!
You never disappoint. That tenderizer is impressive…Thanks Kentucky
The door breaching rounds work great on locks and such. Used them a few times in Afghanistan.
I liked those rounds, especially the Tenderizer, Piranha and that one with the solid brass! Absolutely devastating!
Kinda sad you didn’t say “NAILED IT” with the Piranha round 😂
The “Tenderizer” didn’t just tenderize it, it PURÉED IT!!
I’d love to see a before and after of what the inside of the barrel looks like, after these rounds.
The actual projectiles are encased in a wad, so there would be no more damage to the barrel than standard bird, buckshot, or slugs.
did not harm the unit
That Golf Cart round was KILLER!!
Seriously the Machinist rounds were amazing.
