I can only imagine what a 4-bore dragon's breath round would look like Edit: Im aware that a dragon's breath round is a shotgun round but im sure that its more than possible to make a 4bore round similar to a dragon's breath
Edit: ignore my calculations below. As @seth094978 has rightfully pointed out, the calculations I made did not equate to psi. I had mistaken ft-lbs for pounds of force. I did some further research and found that the maximum pressures of 4 bore and .416 Rigby are 36,259 psi and 47,137 psi, respectively. This does not change my conclusion that the .416 Rigby exceeds the 4 bore in terms of pressure, though my process in coming to that result was flawed. For those wondering, here's a comparison between 4-bore and .416 Rigby. A 4-bore slug is estimated to produce around 7,000 ft lbs of force. With a diameter of 1 inch, this gives it a cross-sectional area of .785 square inches, meaning it produces around 8,900 psi of pressure. A .416 Rigby, on the other hand, produces only 5,115 ft lbs of force. However, with a diameter of just .416 inches, it has a cross-sectional area just shy of .136 square inches. This gives it a whopping 37,633 psi of pressure, over 4 times the pressure of a 4-bore slug. *This* is why it punches straight through the VANT ballistic shield, cinder block and probably another mile of trees and dirt.
I wonder how many of these vests youd even need to stop that thing, i know it was designed in the early 20th century to hunt dangerous game but i feel like they went overboard as if they were hunting dragons
It's also the shape. The more narrow design means it loses far less velocity to wind resistance, and once it makes contact it doesn't transfer nearly as much energy to the target so it just rips right through. Small and fast for penetration, big and slower for destructive force
I cannot be the only one who wants to see Scott do some actual ballistic testing on the .416 "Honey Badger" Rigby. Just put it through its paces. Especially out to a long range. Yes, I know that information is available out there, but man, I want to see Scott do it.
Yeah, I would love to see some ranged shooting of the rigby 0.416 at 500 to 1500 meters and how the grouping is. According to the velocity, weight of the projectile and diameter it should perform exceptionally well.
Many years ago I bought my first gun . A Russian made single barrel single shot gun. The guy in the hardware store sold me the wrong ammo . Glad one of the guys I meet up with was a gun smith and checked everything out for me . Told me I could have blown the gun up using the wrong ammo. He worked at the same hardware company and made it known the guy selling guns did not know squat . Very glad the man was present that day
Less impressive for the poor dudes on either side of the shield if it gets hit. You see those projectiles zooming out the side of the shield? Yikes lol
@@nemui_tora that defeats the purpose of the shield....you stand behind it? if you look at how these shields are used, you see they stand behind it, and only one or two officers peak around the sides. They are well behind the shield as well at obtuse angles, so spalling from the sides would not hit them anyways.
The shield may be too heavy but think of the armored vehicular applications for that recipe. I mean, that is at least rated 4+ so putting that in a civilian car would be ideal no?
I want one and I've never really fired a rifle of any significant caliber ever but I find it entertaining to own a rifle that would stop a dump truck if I wanted
The thing is you have to think about the fact that it goes through so much that you could accidentally shoot someone on the other side of your target a lot easier. You need to be more aware of your surroundings.
I just want to say that I am impressed with the shield. Its designed to take multiple rifle hits from 7.62 and 5.56. I cant imagine how a soldier would feel if a squad was advancing on their position and not stopping even after a full mag dump on them.
well there is something stopping the military from using it....these shields are handled by the internal ministry of defense, and outside of departments like the FSB, OMON, and a few others, other branches can't even consider this kind of stuff lol
Even before today's video I always noted how that 416 Rigby was moving on another level. Perfect conglomerate of speed and size. And brother, you're acquiring one of the most impressive collections of guns ever. Keep going, man.
I think he needs a 375 cheytac. That’s about the only round I can see out honeybadgering the rigby for high velocity in a huge bullet with a narrow diameter for this class of shoulder annihilating rounds.
You need to have a test to see what actually could stop the .416. And collaborate with the slo-mo people on that one. Seeing that round destroy frame by frame would be awesome.
@@christianthompson688 No modern tank isn't equipped with armor that can't stop that round. Now older tanks and some not-tanks like IFVs and APCs it is a little more questionable but still unlikely.

@@nickleback3695 : The 416 Rigby has long been one of the most common cartridges used for killing dangerous game, up to and including pachyderms. It's more than enough for anything that walks on land.

Not really. After the 1st shot thru the steel, and hardest part of the shield, I was sure that glass would instantly powderize/vaporize with the secret ingredients of Mass plus... Speed. Works every time. Not sure how well it would have stood up to the bigger-bore rifles but not all of em were hardened/solid metal, like brass in the rigby's case. The 4bore looked to only be a lead ball, not gonna get much penetration with those materials. Try something solid brass for all calibers and bet at least a couple of the other bullets would have made it thru the shield
I agree totally with you but he didn’t hit the shield where he marked it with marker, he hit it on opposite side little over half way down on the shields right side! If it didn’t penetrate the back of the damn shield, what supposedly shot out of TGE shield on its right??? It happens to everyone from time to time, so I think he was aiming for side he marked and pulled the gun n hit it on the opposite side! If I’m wrong I will admit I’m wrong, but if I’m right he should have to admit he jerked or pulled and hit it where I said where he did!! I love his channel and watch it more than any of those yahoo’s and learned more from Scott than anyone else shooting guns on TH-cam…but come on that shot is as plain as TGE nose on your face that it’s not where he marked TGE shield
I love the shot on the glass. The .416 is in shot for exactly two frames, and it's already smashing the glass in the second, and the very next frame is just an expanding cloud of white glass dust. It looks that three frames later, the bullet appears on the far side even and keeps on going, disappearing from the field after another four frames, considerably slower, and possibly trailing some kind of ballistic material being carried with it, before the entire field of view just turns white with glass dust. Very impressive.
Hey Scott, looks like the shield survived the atlas stone, any chance we can see it go up against the punt gun? Feel like the energy transfer of that would be quite the sight
It won’t be even a little phased by the punt gun. It’s not the size of the projectile. It’s the composition and speed. The punt gun shoots lead. Lead is too soft for penetration
@@bigbore4498 never said I thought it would go through. its the energy transfer I wanted to see so the lead shot is actually perfect. Not looking to put a hole in the shield just dent/bend the crap out of it and see how far it gets tossed or how much damage the shield would do to what's behind it.
@@Doomsday2421 Well….I don’t think it will be damaged past the outer layer of cloth. But it should bang it around pretty good. Especially if he used a round ball.
Watching the 4-Bore hitting the target was like contemplating the End of the World. What a powerful round! I’m certain many other people have told you how much they would like to be in your position being able to enjoy all those wonderful weapons. I, for sure, would love to be there. Thank you for posting.
Scott, this has to be one of the most enjoyable videos you have ever made. I'm heading to a plastic surgeon to see if he can relieve this stuck smile I have on my face! Seriously, I'm not sure if the intro or the shooting portion was more fun! You are the most entertaining, fun loving persons I have ever come across, and I've seen a few in my 74+ years! Bless you my friend, (I'm taking the liberty to call you that), thank you for taking my mind off of this crazy world we are living in. My best wishes always, Rick A P.S. Even your sponsor section left me tickled. You are one of a kind!
I have missed the elephant rifles, can't believe the .416 rigby went through that shield but that's a fast round and pretty heavy also... Great video Scott, loved it.
@@meatballsaladIt’s usually used in pair with flash bang grenades so you could set it up crouching in front of a squad providing them cover. It’s not like you gonna run around with this thing.
And then Scott's Dad steps in,who passed his prime in terms of physical shape due to age,yet you instantly get it why Scott is still called Lil' Scotty at home.
I don't know how you keep surprising us Scott, what with all the big bore insanity, but watching you walk out the the 40" barrel on the AR really caught me off guard!! Well done sir!!!
I love Kentucky Ballistic! Scott is witty and always innovative and very informative when it come to testing the fire arms! he has a combined personality as a Stand up comedy, combined with the knowledge of fire arms. He is a ball innovative fun personality.
Thank you for volunteering to take the multiple concussions in the demonstrations. The recoil from that 4-bore must be equal or better than taking punches from the biggest guy in the bar.
No it really isn't, watch garand thumbs video. .30-06 AP blows right through, so does .308 AP. It is only because the four bore doesn't have spitzer type bullets. Make em pointy it's going through.
Original Rating of the Vant is 3 rounds of 7.62x54R LPS with a STM-2 Bullet (GOST Rating BR4 / Class 5), meaning the rigby has like double the energy the shield was rated for
What about all the other larger rounds that have more energy than the Rigby but did not penetrate? Energy is but part of the equation, velocity and bullet construction combined with caliber also matter…
@@THUNDERBIRD-qy5ei Considering they can't even do anything with the best western tanks they've been "gifted with payment pending" I doubt shipping niche Safari rounds and rifles will affect much.
We definitely need to see some more of that .416 “honey badger” doing its thing to different targets at multiple different ranges, after it defeated the shield I thought for sure the following larger bore rifles would as well, the fact that not a single other larger caliber did absolutely took me by surprise, so I think a video of just that .416hb(what I will call it from now on) doing its thing is in order, I can’t imagine how your shoulder must’ve felt a couple hours after filming this one, giving it a chance to stiffen up a bit I’m betting it hated you and let you know it lol
I knew the .416 would punch it. That’s a magical round. Barrett made a .416 system, and from what I’ve read and “seen”, it truly is mystical... especially out at Looooooong ranges.
That is what Ronnie Barret offered to sell the LAPD SWAT team after he refused to return their Barrett .50 Cals they sent for service, since they are illegal in Commiefornia.
Well, apparently it's only rated up to 7.62x54R LPS bullets shot from 5m, so yeah. I did not expect it to stop so much. What I didn't get either was the damned 7.62x39 blowing through. Manufacturing error maybe?
@@TheR00kThe ballistic material on the leg flap thing had enough after the first rounds, mainly the Hella long barrel AR I'm thinking. (I was impressed it stopped that.)
I would love a penetration test video on different surfaces with the .416 Rigby. This round seems unstoppable and i count on you Scott to find what can stop this bullet.
It still blows my mind to think how close we came to losing this guy here to an abnormally hot .50 BMG SLAP round. After an event like that, every subsequent day on earth (not under it) is a gift. I just hope he appreciates that 👍
@@letsdothis9063 Damn, glad you pulled through. I had a really close call in a car accident and came WAY to close to an incoming mortar shell, and I can honestly say coming close to dying left a huge impression on me. Life is a fragile and fleeting thing...
I'm not sure if it's legal to do this, but you could definitely fit enough explosive in a 4 bore slug to create a fairly dynamic effect on the target. Even some black powder would be quite dramatic. 😛
Screw legality, safety is the issue. Black powder might be okay. My fear would be using anything hotter than that. We all remember what happened with Scott's 50 cal and that hot round. Perhaps with a shotgun or rifle specifically designed to handle that? Dunno, I'm not a gunsmith.
@@youbetterwakeup2449 his 50 exploded because it had a powder charge which created to much pressure. That has nothing to do with having an explosive projectile, unless it is made so badly that it goes off in your own gun (which is never ok, for any explosive payload) Noone is suggesting to propel the bullet itself with a primary explosive....
Did you see that old inrangetv video with the ww2 explosive ammo? imagine using that stuff, but instead of the payload of a .30 caliber rifle round, you have a 4 bore..... that would be a double-boom stick.
Thanks Scott. This video was a great idea. Id love to see what different types of armor and shields you get to put up with your collection of artillery
I think the scariest thing you could do now with that 4-bore round is make a custom round with a Spitzer tip instead of the soft-nose, I think that would likely help with greater penetration power against the Vant shield.
@Phantom-bh5ru That's just too easy though, and we need to maximize the potential of the 4-bore rifle besides. I'm tired of high caliber shoulder fired weapons using soft-nose ammunition and people treating that like it's the pinnacle of that round's performance when there's still clear room for improvement.
@@killiandawson4674 I have an idea. Make it a hollow point with a tungsten sabot right in the middle. If it hits soft target the hollow point would spread out dealing maximum damage. However if it hits armor the tungsten sabot would rip out of the middle and continue forwards.
Changing materials would probably help even more. Lead is TERRIBLE for penetration. A solid brass slug would penetrate much more, even with a round nose. However, it might hurt the barrel and I could understand not wanting to do that witch such an exotic gun. I guess he could get a sub caliber tungsten carbide penetrator and just cast some led around it to fit the bore. The most effective would probably be to make a home made APDS round by grinding on some carbide endmills and building a sabot around it, though getting the sabot right is real hard.
I'm curious if the leg protection would have stopped the 7.62 round if it hadn't already stopped the other rounds. I think the .500 magnum rearranged the plates or whatever is in it, and Scott might have found a lucky hole or crack that allowed the round to go through. I could be totally wrong about that also.
I’m pretty happy. I have shot a 416 rigby. It was a Dakota arms. The guy has some of the spun brass rounds that went through the shield. It wasn’t as bad as I thought for recoil but there is no mistake that something serious happens when you pull the trigger
I remember coming across a video about a 2 bore, not sure if there is one available for testing, as it was a historical piece. Still, Scott never disappoints!
you mean the one you find when you search for "Double Deuce" 2-Bore Rifle: A Gunsmithing Spectacle? Love the handgun gimmick :D one is actually on sale in vienna for half a million euro
Scott, you just keep outdoing yourself! Another brilliant video.. And quite interesting results. In the end, what you said about speed being the key to defeating armor was absolutely correct. Aw, man... now you got me scanning gunbroker for a nice 416 Rigby. lol. Again, good work bro.. keep 'em comin'..
If there is one thing for sure that has been demonstrated in this test, one thing that is clear of is how much that I have known for decades reminding me of how much confidence that I have always had in the .416 Rigby, some things may look impressive or imposing, but that does not always get the job done. this is a wonderful video to compare the modern with the old, and show the differences of what is long known and a challenge to the new "beast cartridges". I would love to see the results from a .340 Weatherby Magnum also! I so love this fun video!

At least those don’t explode
@@TheAllKnowNoblenot yet anyway 😅
Because .50 call doesn't exist
.50 call? What kind of round is that?
He probably has some anxiety towards it from the incident.
The velcro is mainly for patches/badges, the metal handle is to attach gear, like a light bar that goes with this shield.
Can we just get a round of applause for that Velcro? That "leg flappy thing" stopped those rounds and it still didnt let go.
Indeed.
The velcro was impressive.

I was expecting the round to BORE straight through the shield, and I was very surprised by the results. Keep up the great work Scott!
It’s a lead bullet .
and 2150 grains @@chrisgabbert658
@@chrisgabbert658 I know. That’s also why the 416 brass solid was able to penetrate the shield since it’s denser than lead
@@sinistervox4260 wonder how the 4 bore would be with a solid brass .
Too slow and it is lead.
Watching the 4-Bore hitting the target was like contemplating the End of the World. What a powerful round!
I’m certain many other people have told you how much they would like to be in your position being able to enjoy all those wonderful weapons. I, for sure, would love to be there. Thank you for posting.
Scott, this has to be one of the most enjoyable videos you have ever made. I'm heading to a plastic surgeon to see if he can relieve this stuck smile I have on my face! Seriously, I'm not sure if the intro or the shooting portion was more fun! You are the most entertaining, fun loving persons I have ever come across, and I've seen a few in my 74+ years! Bless you my friend, (I'm taking the liberty to call you that), thank you for taking my mind off of this crazy world we are living in. My best wishes always, Rick A
P.S. Even your sponsor section left me tickled. You are one of a kind!
I have missed the elephant rifles, can't believe the .416 rigby went through that shield but that's a fast round and pretty heavy also... Great video Scott, loved it.
Same speed as the 577 t-rex. 2400 fps.
@@hlessiavedon Shape and composition of the bullet is probably what makes it so good at penetrating
I love that you are giving CZ some love. My dad has always shared his love of their designs with me and I feel like a lot of people overlook them.
Yeah, because CZ is small (in comparison to US, Russian or German manufacturers). But here, we adore it. Czech engineering.
you literally bring joy to every single viewer it's absolutely incredible. you are the man Scott !
Love the big bores, but I’d also love to see how the shield holds up to 30 rapid fire 7.62x39s
full auto gets demonetized on youtube now, so probably won’t get full auto
@@-joe.mama-what exactly is demonetized mean in the TH-cam world, I haven't been able to get a straight answer yet??
17:31 That butterfly casually floating around acting like a .577 Trex didn't just change the vacuum of space and time right next to it
You never fail to deliver, Scott. Keep it up brother 😊
The honey badger may not be the biggest but it’s certainly the meanest. Damn!
Scotts a big dude he can just casually move around the 70 pound shield like its nothing.
Scott's a big guy.
That's for sure! Can you imagine trying to move around with that thing while being shot at!! Lol
@@meatballsaladIt’s usually used in pair with flash bang grenades so you could set it up crouching in front of a squad providing them cover. It’s not like you gonna run around with this thing.
@@ghoulbuster1 For You
And then Scott's Dad steps in,who passed his prime in terms of physical shape due to age,yet you instantly get it why Scott is still called Lil' Scotty at home.
I don't know how you keep surprising us Scott, what with all the big bore insanity, but watching you walk out the the 40" barrel on the AR really caught me off guard!! Well done sir!!!
I guess it's not just big bore, but extreme guns in other ways too. That's twice the barrel of a traditional "rifle length" AR.
For some reason i read 40 feet instead of inches
@@dartdukii Now that would be a heck of a barrel.
I'd love to see a 4 bore extreme solid brass round!
I love Kentucky Ballistic! Scott is witty and always innovative and very informative when it come to testing the fire arms! he has a combined personality as a Stand up comedy, combined with the knowledge of fire arms. He is a ball innovative fun personality.
“Legend has it, it’s still going…” that one got me. Well done. Thanks for the quality content.
The shield was impressive, but KUDOs to Scott in finding new and entertaining ways to destroy those pesky tables!!! Awesome job Scott!
I will NEVER get enough of that gun. Keep going scott can already tell this video will be priceless
Thank you for volunteering to take the multiple concussions in the demonstrations. The recoil from that 4-bore must be equal or better than taking punches from the biggest guy in the bar.
That shield is actually really damn strong!
Only in modern warfare no one shoots with inch rifles and lead bullets, any armor-piercing cartridge would pierce this Kevlar.
No it really isn't, watch garand thumbs video. .30-06 AP blows right through, so does .308 AP. It is only because the four bore doesn't have spitzer type bullets. Make em pointy it's going through.
Original Rating of the Vant is 3 rounds of 7.62x54R LPS with a STM-2 Bullet (GOST Rating BR4 / Class 5), meaning the rigby has like double the energy the shield was rated for
What about all the other larger rounds that have more energy than the Rigby but did not penetrate? Energy is but part of the equation, velocity and bullet construction combined with caliber also matter…
so we give the Ukrainians the rigby right
@@THUNDERBIRD-qy5ei Considering they can't even do anything with the best western tanks they've been "gifted with payment pending" I doubt shipping niche Safari rounds and rifles will affect much.
We definitely need to see some more of that .416 “honey badger” doing its thing to different targets at multiple different ranges, after it defeated the shield I thought for sure the following larger bore rifles would as well, the fact that not a single other larger caliber did absolutely took me by surprise, so I think a video of just that .416hb(what I will call it from now on) doing its thing is in order, I can’t imagine how your shoulder must’ve felt a couple hours after filming this one, giving it a chance to stiffen up a bit I’m betting it hated you and let you know it lol
I would like to see that round filmed by slowmo guys with their incredible cameras.
I came here to say the same exact thing lol
Smaller diameter bullets of moderate weight penetrate quite well.
The 416 Rigby has got to be the scariest round a civilian weapon can fire. Thing just vaporizes whatever it hits.
These videos are so good like he always comes up with the best tests and videos all by himself
He definitely has help acquiring everything from the guns to the targets. He has definitely got thespian potential though.
That shield is pretty impressive being able to take that amount of punishment
Scott you seem so happy, we’re all so proud of you and we love you, keep it up buddy
_"You just got jammed."_ might just be my favourite bit on the channel.
Mines is throwing the tables 🤣
I knew the .416 would punch it. That’s a magical round. Barrett made a .416 system, and from what I’ve read and “seen”, it truly is mystical... especially out at Looooooong ranges.
That is what Ronnie Barret offered to sell the LAPD SWAT team after he refused to return their Barrett .50 Cals they sent for service, since they are illegal in Commiefornia.
@@thomasneedham1512 that is funny not returning the LAPD SWAT's 50 Cals because 50 Cals are illegal in California. how ironic
@Alice-ki7os what is this bot
Watching the 500 S&W bounce right off that shield is absolutely astounding
The impact from the 4-bore rounds is insane. Another fantastic video. Thanks 👍
BRO! HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS SITTING ON THE TOILET? WTF!😂
Me too 😆
There is like 10% chance any of youtubes traffic are. I am too right now.
lol
😂
Considering the ringer that shield was put through, if I were its maker, I'd be extremely proud of myself xD
Until a round with the name Rigby shoots through then I'd be pissed lol
Well, apparently it's only rated up to 7.62x54R LPS bullets shot from 5m, so yeah.
I did not expect it to stop so much.
What I didn't get either was the damned 7.62x39 blowing through. Manufacturing error maybe?
@@TheR00k I honestly have no clue
@@TheR00kThe ballistic material on the leg flap thing had enough after the first rounds, mainly the Hella long barrel AR I'm thinking. (I was impressed it stopped that.)
I would love a penetration test video on different surfaces with the .416 Rigby. This round seems unstoppable and i count on you Scott to find what can stop this bullet.
I agree on that. Sort of wondering if you could make a HMG in .416Rig, or something similar. Definitely has the velocity and penetration.
It's comparable to it's child .338 LM, (although a decent bit worse) so you can safely guess whatever stops .338 will stop ye olde .416
Agreed
Maybe he can try bringing back the armstrongs but i dont think they can take that much
It still blows my mind to think how close we came to losing this guy here to an abnormally hot .50 BMG SLAP round.
After an event like that, every subsequent day on earth (not under it) is a gift. I just hope he appreciates that 👍
Something tells me, that wasn't his first brush with death.
I totally get it tho.
I had a heart attack a few years ago. It definitely changes things.
@@letsdothis9063 Damn, glad you pulled through. I had a really close call in a car accident and came WAY to close to an incoming mortar shell, and I can honestly say coming close to dying left a huge impression on me. Life is a fragile and fleeting thing...
7:48 running weirdly funny with the gun swinging like that LOL 😂🤣😂🤣
I'm not sure if it's legal to do this, but you could definitely fit enough explosive in a 4 bore slug to create a fairly dynamic effect on the target. Even some black powder would be quite dramatic. 😛
Taneright I spelled that wrong I think
Screw legality, safety is the issue. Black powder might be okay. My fear would be using anything hotter than that. We all remember what happened with Scott's 50 cal and that hot round. Perhaps with a shotgun or rifle specifically designed to handle that? Dunno, I'm not a gunsmith.
@@youbetterwakeup2449 his 50 exploded because it had a powder charge which created to much pressure. That has nothing to do with having an explosive projectile, unless it is made so badly that it goes off in your own gun (which is never ok, for any explosive payload) Noone is suggesting to propel the bullet itself with a primary explosive....
Did you see that old inrangetv video with the ww2 explosive ammo? imagine using that stuff, but instead of the payload of a .30 caliber rifle round, you have a 4 bore..... that would be a double-boom stick.
The 4 bore is 25mm acording to chat gpt and theres plenty of AA guns on the 20mm size so i guess you could fire an HE round or something
Thanks Scott. This video was a great idea. Id love to see what different types of armor and shields you get to put up with your collection of artillery
I think the scariest thing you could do now with that 4-bore round is make a custom round with a Spitzer tip instead of the soft-nose, I think that would likely help with greater penetration power against the Vant shield.
Honestly at that point just use a 20mm rifle.
@Phantom-bh5ru That's just too easy though, and we need to maximize the potential of the 4-bore rifle besides. I'm tired of high caliber shoulder fired weapons using soft-nose ammunition and people treating that like it's the pinnacle of that round's performance when there's still clear room for improvement.
@@killiandawson4674 I have an idea. Make it a hollow point with a tungsten sabot right in the middle. If it hits soft target the hollow point would spread out dealing maximum damage. However if it hits armor the tungsten sabot would rip out of the middle and continue forwards.
Maybe a Explosive round would be cool to !
Changing materials would probably help even more. Lead is TERRIBLE for penetration. A solid brass slug would penetrate much more, even with a round nose. However, it might hurt the barrel and I could understand not wanting to do that witch such an exotic gun.
I guess he could get a sub caliber tungsten carbide penetrator and just cast some led around it to fit the bore. The most effective would probably be to make a home made APDS round by grinding on some carbide endmills and building a sabot around it, though getting the sabot right is real hard.
2:52 dude was like "i give up"
I don’t know why but I love watching armor testing videos like this. Plus you make them so entertaining.
Wow I wonder what the "honeybadger" can't shoot through!! That thing is a beast! It always goes through whatever Scott shoots at!
Scott. Your intros are becoming dry good. Very original and enter. Great job. Keep ‘em coming.
Scott's just a big kid with an arsenal, that's why I love this channel.
Whenever Scott uploads a video, a table gains its wings. Love your stuff man, appreciate you! Can’t wait to see what you do with your new toy :D
Scott, your new toy looks like a great mounting location for the punt gun 😮
Thats why he bought it hydraulic arm with levers in front of the boom so you be behind the gun and still have control of it
@@ashsutton6478 Nice! And still destroy tables in the process... Okie dokie 😂😂😂
I wonder how things like tungsten and solid iron hold up to the 4-bore. Also, the intros are always fun to watch :)
So dangerous for the shooter. Yikes
Tungsten hurts bullets.
Idk
that's umm... well, classified and/or redacted
5:35 Stott referring to a 10mm as a "small caliber" really tells you all you need to know about this chanel, and I love it.
9mm>10mm
Thanks for sacrificing your shoulder for our entertainment!😀 Great video Scott! God bless!
I'm not gonna lie, most of the fun when Scott brings out the Double Barrel is when he names the engravings random animals XD
I'm curious if the leg protection would have stopped the 7.62 round if it hadn't already stopped the other rounds. I think the .500 magnum rearranged the plates or whatever is in it, and Scott might have found a lucky hole or crack that allowed the round to go through.
I could be totally wrong about that also.
Leg plate definitely acted like Kevlar. The slower moving 500 bunched it all up and weakened it for sure so who knows.
That ricochet at 10:50 was terrifying!
You know the 4 bore is a beast when your nose bends from the concussion 😂
Um Scott no joke I’m on the toilet as I’m typing this… 10:09 that was weird my face just was in awe
One weapon better than the other. You have exceeded expectations again. Thanks Scott, have a great week.👏🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I’m pretty happy. I have shot a 416 rigby. It was a Dakota arms. The guy has some of the spun brass rounds that went through the shield. It wasn’t as bad as I thought for recoil but there is no mistake that something serious happens when you pull the trigger
that laugh 18:45 🤣

I remember coming across a video about a 2 bore, not sure if there is one available for testing, as it was a historical piece. Still, Scott never disappoints!
you mean the one you find when you search for "Double Deuce" 2-Bore Rifle: A Gunsmithing Spectacle? Love the handgun gimmick :D
one is actually on sale in vienna for half a million euro
@@maxm1645 yes! Scott should buy it if it's for sale!
@@nicholasmangialardi1618 too cheap for him 😂
Every day with a 4-bore video is a good day. Thanks, Scott!
The figure in the first CZ is phenomenal. What a gorgeous stock.
Velocity, bullet hardness, such as tungsten carbide, and a pointed edge just like you said,are key to penetration
Scott, you just keep outdoing yourself! Another brilliant video.. And quite interesting results. In the end, what you said about speed being the key to defeating armor was absolutely correct. Aw, man... now you got me scanning gunbroker for a nice 416 Rigby. lol. Again, good work bro.. keep 'em comin'..

That 416 was so impressive, and that new rifle is awesome looking! more of that gun in videos please! Keep up the awesome work!
Love the variety of firearms you have at your disposal. Damned impressive collection
If there is one thing for sure that has been demonstrated in this test, one thing that is clear of is how much that I have known for decades reminding me of how much confidence that I have always had in the .416 Rigby, some things may look impressive or imposing, but that does not always get the job done. this is a wonderful video to compare the modern with the old, and show the differences of what is long known and a challenge to the new "beast cartridges". I would love to see the results from a .340 Weatherby Magnum also! I so love this fun video!
It’s been really nice following this channel and their videos are amazingly great with useful information
I’d love to know you better, thats only if you dont mind cos you seem to be a very nice person with a great sense of humor
Scott you are a beast! I can't imagine increasing the recoil with so many guns like that.
If I could like this video 1000x I would. Awesome to see you putting content out unlike anything else we see!! Keep it up Scott!
2:27 you absolutly right. Red square most protected area. And it makes bastards shoot in that spot
