    for reference, most indoor paintball fields have a restriction of 250 ft/s or less. outdoors fields or forested fields can go upwards of 500 ft/s with paintball markers.
    kind of interesting when you think about it, and how much the shape, type of material, etc comes into play for lethality with speed.

    I was hit by a ricochet that cracked my rib and left a really nasty purple bruise. Based on your test i would say it was probably moving around 300fps. It didnt make it through my sweater but it left a cloth pattern imprinted in my skin in the exact shape of a 9mm that hit sideways. I still have the bullet. Dont shoot at an indoor range that looks like it hasn't been maintained. The bullet baffels at the end of the range had been destroyed but the owner of the range just put up rubber panels to hide it.

      Can somebody calculate the „muzzle energy“ from the slingshot? I mean: it managed 153 fps with the whole hollow point round. Some american friends know how much the whole round weighs?
      Edit: If the first rounds are 115gr hollow point - the whole round might be around 185-190gr (60gr brass, 5-6gr. blackpowder - 5gr primer) therefore:
      Slingshot - 13,02 Joule

    Two thoughts;
    1/ Smaller calibers may be lethal at lower speeds than large calibers, due to less surface area to disperse the force (higher penetration).
    2/ It's probably important to simulate one or two layers of clothing, like GT did in his "How deadly are shotguns?" video.

    Considering majority of standard pressure .45 ACP runs between 800 and 1000 fps...I figured you were going to reach the threshold pretty quick.
    Plus, those rounds that went in about 2 inches or so, while not reaching the medically prescribed 3 inches for lethal damage, you still have a hole punched into the thoracic cavity that may be possibly filling up with red dyed scooter oil, or sucking in air. So you should still go see the doctor.

    Very interesting results. The average velocity out of a two to three inch barrel pocket 9mm is 850 to 900 fps so this was good results at fifteen to twenty feet for self defense.

    If i remember correctly the old 2 inch 38 special revolver round were around 700 fps. Plenty of lethal hits from those pistols over the years. I also recall an incident where a man was hit in the forehead and the bullet did not penetrate but lodged under the skin over bone. I recall hearing of several more where the bullet traveled around the skull following the bone after an oblique hit in the forehead area. Myth busters did a couple episodes on ballistic, mostly falling rounds and iirc they decided a projectile would have to be going over 200 fps to break skin.

    Scott, to complete your journey in the big bore world, I believe you need to get your hands on a .500 Bushwhacker revolver.

Top that off with a .600 Overkill rifle, which is said to be the most powerful round capable of being fired from a standard hunting action.

    In Canada, it's not just the FPS of the projectile but also the energy that dictates wether something is a firearm or not. I've always heard that anything 500fps or more is considered lethal, but that probably depends on the overall mass of the projectile. A 12 gauge slug traveling at 500fps is probably lethal at close range. I think there are too many factors to consider. That's just my two cents.

    I've heard that a 230-grain bullet moving at 400fps is capable of producing a lethal wound. Wonder if that's true, and if clothing changes the results. I'm pretty sure it would change the results of that slingshot.

    • @CtrlAltRetreat

      Mass makes a huge difference and 230 is near double the typical 9mm. Even a rock can be lethal at throwing speeds just on mass

    • @baconatordoom
      @baconatordoom ปีที่แล้ว

      @CtrlAltRetreat Interesting. The typical less lethal bean bag round is 1.4oz of shot going around 300fps. Possibly lethal if it hits your head or chest due to blunt force trauma. I'm curious about the minimum requirements of a piercing wound that could be fatal. I guess it comes down to the point/shape of the projectile, speed, weight, and the ability to carry its mass through tissue and bone to create a fatal wound. I'd imagine a 230 grain .45acp ball round and .230 grain pointed FMJ boat tail round moving at the same speed would have different penatration results in a clothed human torso at those speeds.

      I'd find that interesting too. I'm in the UK where we are only allowed up to 6ftlb energy on air pistols and 12ftlb on air rifles unless you get a firearms license. 12ftlb on an air rifle is about 600fps in .22 (5.5mm) and 800fps in .177 (4.5mm). For the air pistol at 6ftlb it's around 425fps with a .22 and 600fps with a .177. I guess though because they are a lot lighter than an actual bullet they would penetrate but not create anywhere near the same energy and would stop at minimum resistance. I think this would be really interesting to see on a zombie, furby or even better a zombie furby 😂.
