Ok, I know the intro was just a joke and all but... The idea of a slo-mo film of a bullet moving straight at a camera hidden behind bullet-proof glass sounds awesome... Scot, is there a chance it may become a reality?
The Slow Mo Guys did something similar where they shot a Barrett M82 at a mirror placed 45 degrees to their Phantom slow-mo camera. I believe the video is called "Sniping a Slow Mo Camera"
@@RadiantMistborn42 Looked it up, found it... and wasn't really as awesome as I would have hoped for. I think it's mainly because the camera shot they took was too wide, so bullet, at least for me, got lost in the space really fast.
Slingshot produced a velocity similar to the first round you fired, but was the entire bullet instead of just the projectile. Which means it impacted with more energy, which also means the slingshot produced more energy.

I would love to see the 4 bore shot at a ballistic gell block. I know you shot the zombie but I really want to see just a clear block shot to see it better and to compare to other rounds we have all seen previously.
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.
Negligence in firing range maintenance is a very troubling concept. Some things should not be skimped on. That business owner deserves to be put out of business if that is the case
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.

Yeah most definitely depends on what projectile is being used the most. Some will be lethal at 500+ whereas you could easily survive a pellet point blank at 1,200 fps.
Nice visual demonstration. I think most of us in the Less Lethal community agree that somewhere 400+ FPS at that weight of projectile is where it becomes enough Joules for better self defense.
It’s funny because Joe was right about 9mm. Only instead of blowing the lung out of the body, the whole head just comes right off…even when shooting the lungs😂
Many years ago I was struck by a piece of 44 magnum jacket that traveled 50 yds back from a target. It it me in the stomach and doubled me over. It weighed 11 gr. And was stuck in my flannel shirt. I had lump In stomach for several days. Didn’t think anything about it for 20 years until I had to have hernia surgery. Yes, extensive internal damage that took several hours to repair due to large amounts of scar tissue having formed in the area that had to be cut away to make repair! Things you don’t know!
Fantastic experiment Scott! Thanks for incorporating the chronograph for accuracy sake. Thanks for all of your hard work making content! Cheers from Alberta, Canada 🍻
Wow, this was really interesting to see. Was playing paintball yesterday in Poland and there we were allowed to play with 280 fps. Here in Germany, 214 is the legal limit. Nice chronograph by the way. Would be pretty exciting to see the velocity of bigger calibers. And the slingshot was a cool alternative, to show, how much power you can produce with something other than a firearm. As always, Greetings from Germany.
here in colorado, usa we can play paintball at 400fps... i used to have a fully modded smartparts ion and customized halo reloader and could shoot it 39 balls per second..... when we would blow the whistle to start, id just point toward enemy spawn and 5 seconds after the whistle i would be reloading..... lol. good old days.... believe me when the enemy hears 200 paintballs hosing around them at 400 fps the tend to push less aggressively........ lmao
I love Scott's reaction when he is impressed with a shot. I think this is the longest that I have seen a chronograph last when used by Kentucky Ballistics.
Scott, to complete your journey in the big bore world, I believe you need to get your hands on a .500 Bushwhacker revolver. It is said to be twice as powerful as .500 S&W Magnum given comparable barrel lengths. 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.
Another thing to consider is that human flesh can stretch quite a bit, pork shoulder that has the skin and fat on it can do a really good job at demonstrating it. This was a really cool video, I have often wondered about this very thing. Especially with pellet guns
Fantastic idea for a video I’ve always wondered this. While playing paintball I always figured that marbles fired out of paintball guns would be lethal but never seen it tested
Really interesting question, learned ballistics when i was a kid because i heard so many urban myths and hunting myths too, nice to see people debunking most of them lol
As a science teacher I'd love to be able to perform experiments like this at school... the kids would love it but I'm pretty sure the powers that must be obeyed would frown on this...
The tech teachers at my school used to frown heavily on making slingshots and knives, then some kid made a slam fire shotgun and tried to pass it off as a post driver... that thing got cut up into a heap of pieces so fast...
Thanks for the educational video, Scott~! Table Disposal Query: What would happen if you dragged the table across the big pond? Sure... you'd need a good 300 feet of rope to find out... but would the table simply skid across the surface, or break apart as soon as an edge forced it to dip under the surface?
“Had a bit of an Oopsie with my chronograph” *flash back to Scott tossing the main mechanism in a wood chipper* Quality laughs and content as always, Scott. Another amazing video
@@5150warpighis point is probably towards the 800 fps being lethal with the 9mm but nothing crazy, but a 45 acp is incredibly lethal at around that velocity because it is heavier
@@5150warpig force=mass x acceleration Both speed and weight equally matter. Doesn’t matter if it penetrates or not, it could still be lethal. But there are more factors to consider like how the force is applied, surface area, etc

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. The 4 gauge is a cannon and you know Scott pulled the table, that thought it escaped, out of the woods, and drove over it with his truck. Silly table should have stayed in the trees. No table escapes the Wrath of Scott.
also a friend of mine in 1985 took his 3 screw 1873 using black powder loads slowly stepped up the charge until the bullet hit the magic 600 fps range and proved right there, the old cowboy loads were lethal at gunfighting distance "around 25 feet"!
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.
Very interesting results. But could you do a follow-up video showing just at what range lethal fps is no longer lethal? Like the maximum range for 9mm before its no longer lethal?
I like the fact that you used the nearly identical 9 millimeter hand guns I really liked the black 4 inch version also cool video thank you you definitely answers a curiosity of mine well 2 actually because I was wondering about those sling shots
Imagine being shot by a round going 165 fps. You would think you was full of holes and after you was able to assess the situation you would think you was bullet proof
I'm thinking TH-cam should add the spelling and grammar correction system of Microsoft office. Unfortunately some people would ignore the underlines. Your entire comment would have been underlined in blue.
Would love to see tests on theoretical max protection. Shield, layers of body armor, what could realistically be used and still have someone able to walk around. Always wonder what the limits of protection is. Ive seen tests on individual components but what about fully decked out gear?
Run. Every day. With gear. Be in your 20s. Workout a lot. Very doable. There's a reason teams only get fully decked out very shortly before being active and it's not for fashion. There's always a trade-off.
Hey Scott I love everything you do I also finally got to shoot the 700 nitro pistol it hurt so much. Thank you for everything and don't forget about WATERMELON TIME!!!!
Hands down Scott, you have the best and funniest intro’s! And btw, even though I usually know when it’s coming….. your mushroom cloud inserts still cause me damn near mess my shorts most of the time. Good times man, good times😂
For those who want the conversions from Feet to Meters (since most games and charts ive seen use Meters Per second) Here you go! For each shot type not each individual shot! 1st Shot : 165 FPS 50.292M/S 2nd Shot : 328 FPS 99.974M/S Sling Shot : 153 FPS 46.634M/S 3rd Shot : 425 FPS 129.540M/S 4th Shot : 509 FPS 155.143M/S 5th Shot : 812 FPS 247.498M/S 6th Shot : 866 FPS 263.957M/S 7th Shot : 946 FPS 288.341M/S 8th Shot : 1027 FPS 313.929M/S
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
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 remember there was a proposed attachment for Handguns that’s basically a metal ball that you shoot with a live round. The idea is instead to of a 9mm you hit them with a metal cue ball, and then have live ammo available immediately if needed. Would be cool to see how much energy it would transfer
@@devnail7368 I can't tell if you're joking or not but yeah, it does work out. The steel basketball works out to be around the same as a less lethal slug, the bigger ones that look like they fit in grenade launchers
@@thefunniestfarm4731I think the bullet would imbed in the ball, and carry it, it would probably need some sort of standoff from the muzzle but technically feasible

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.

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.

Nyet, test is fine, I for one would be very concerned at ensuring my rounds are lethal against naked people trying to assault me, I think this test is perfectly adequet.
1000 years from now, historians are going to come across Scott's range and wonder why there are so many tables and pieces of tables littered everywhere.
His different ways of destroying each videos table are always entertaining, along with all the random funny stuff he puts in as well😂 Truly incredible!
I am very interested to see a destructive comparison(zombie torso and other targets) between the the Brown Bess musket from the revolutionary war period, Kentucky long rifle, and something civil war era with a Minie' Ball(Springfield Model 1861). Compare those to a 12, 10, and 4 gauge.....and if your shoulder is still functional after it, the 4 bore. Thanks for another Great Video!

Well Scott I think you proved one thing with this video....SCOOTER really Needs his OWN youtube channel !!!!!!!......I believe that his Vast Experience in what NOT to do, would not Only make great content....but Teach Novice gun owners And beginner youtubers a Ton !!
I know it's not your usual foray. But what about the lethality of BB guns and pellet guns that shoot in those higher FPS levels? Example, I have a pellet rifle that shoots 1200 fps, and a CO2 pistol that shoots 400 to 500 fps (depending on how fresh the tanks are and type of BB's being used)? How would these compare to the test you just ran?
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 😂.
@@vinnyvtec8722 Exactly! That's what I'd like to know. Having a projectile at the same fps but obviously way smaller mass. Could it be just as lethal or not?
I’m at the start of the video but even an air rifle can be lethal depending on the make and model and also where it strikes a person. This should be good 😊👍
I have an idea for a video. In WW1, both sides would shoot machine guns at each others trenches even when they were far away. It has been written that anyone who went to the trenches in the front lines would hear bullets whizzing past them all the time. It was just part of being there. Maybe you could look into that. There is one account of a British soldier who was crossing some barbed wire when he felt a prick of pain in his leg. He just figured it was from the barbed wire and thought nothing of it. But later on, it kept hurting so he went to the medical dugout a little bit behind the trench he was in to get it checked out. The medic pulled a bullet out of the wound.
Look into what bullets losing velocity? It could have been a richochet or bad round Bad round is likely because if he got shot by a machine gun only once and then the shooting stopped it was probably low velocity so barely did any damage then caused a jam
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 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.
an other educationally entertaining video from Scott: i'd really like to see someone do an Air rifle extension of this, id love to do it myself but as Scott and others have said these ballistic labs dummys are bloody expensive...
Hey Scott, your videos are awesome. I was wondering if you could test a 338 Lapua on a zombie torso and different items to see if there's a difference between hunting vs. target ammo up close.
I think this is pretty neat! I know paintball typically has a limit of 300fps for safety, and I know how much those sting. Baggy clothes can sometimes actually deflect those. Seems like the that first 150fps shot had similar kinda of punch. Wouldn't want to get hit by that tho haha. Kinda wish you shot some eyepro with those slow rounds to see what they would do.
@@prophy4736 I know it's not comparable lol. I can say tho that if you shoot a very old paint ball it isn't really paint anymore and can shatter eyepro.
It would be interesting to see how the results would differ if it was recorded in cold weather so the mold wouldn’t be pretty much warm jello. And how much the 800 fps range would differ between calibers.
I think it would’ve been interesting if he had done this side by side with a 230 grain 45 acp round, to see how grain weight makes a difference with the added momentum at low speed. Kind of reminds me of that old British saying, “A little bit of powder and a lot of lead, shoot them once, and shoot them dead!” Awesome video as always Scott.
I'm glad you started doing headshots. Being stopped by the skull is about the minimum of what I would consider being 'nonlethal'. I think for body shots the most accurate way to measure at what point we get to 'lethal' territory depends on a combination of depth, expansion, and cavitation. You should try this experiment again on a regular block of gel to get an idea on this!
I love these 🤣 can you do a video where you shoot the real gun and then an Airsoft replica of the gun and compare the similarities and differences between them? That would be so cool!
Scott has no need of a "No Tresspassing" sign. He just needs a kiosk set up out front with his channel on a loop. Anyone even SLIGHTLY sane is gonna just NOPE! the hell outta that!
I research this a few years ago and it seems that a rough minimum for lethality was in the 60-80fpe range (like a .25 acp pocket pistol), of course depending on wound location. Most .177” BB guns can only generate up to about 20fpe, but if they hit someone in the perfect spot they could be lethal. Anything over 100fpe is carrying lethal potential, think 22lr from a pistol.
I have a .25 break barrel pellet rifle that claims to hit at around 31fpe. With only a 27gn pellet, I can shoot through soup marrow beef bones. The heaviest pellets I have are 43gn, but those just knock over and crack the bones. My co2 Sig Sauer .177 pellet rifle (Sig actually makes them, its freaking awesome, not licensed out to like Daisy or Crosman) however, that thing will obliterate bricks with 6gn alloy pellets. It's incredible the technology that exists nowadays in Air rifles. They've come along way since the Red Ryder!
Scott referring to what “velocity” is a bullet lethal is a bit misguided as it’s the resulting energy from a given projectile’s velocity that makes it “lethal”. 400-500 fps for what I assume was a ~115gr 9mm is around 60 foot pounds energy. But say a 30gr .22 bullet at 500 fps will have WAY less energy than a 500fps 115gr 9mm. Step up to like a 150-200gr projectile and 500fps nets even more energy. In terms of projectile ballistics: doubling the mass (grains) doubles the energy; doubling the velocity quadruples the energy.
My .22 PCP shooting 27 grn slugs will knock a deer over at about 60 fpe. I now have a .30 cal that'll run 130 fpe, so I have no doubt it's lethal as well
I am now accepting table destruction requests lol! Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed the video!

Yeah most definitely depends on what projectile is being used the most. Some will be lethal at 500+ whereas you could easily survive a pellet point blank at 1,200 fps.
Nice visual demonstration. I think most of us in the Less Lethal community agree that somewhere 400+ FPS at that weight of projectile is where it becomes enough Joules for better self defense.
I can't get enough of Scott yelling in excitement after a shot.
Scott: "I'm going to slingshot this zombie."
George Sprave: "Hold My beer!"
This seemed like a lot of set up. It's nice to know the threshold of lethal force, thank you for doing the work.
Right ? Legit interesting to learn this stuff.
“Legit”
It’s funny because Joe was right about 9mm. Only instead of blowing the lung out of the body, the whole head just comes right off…even when shooting the lungs😂
Many years ago I was struck by a piece of 44 magnum jacket that traveled 50 yds back from a target. It it me in the stomach and doubled me over. It weighed 11 gr. And was stuck in my flannel shirt. I had lump In stomach for several days. Didn’t think anything about it for 20 years until I had to have hernia surgery. Yes, extensive internal damage that took several hours to repair due to large amounts of scar tissue having formed in the area that had to be cut away to make repair! Things you don’t know!
Fantastic experiment Scott! Thanks for incorporating the chronograph for accuracy sake. Thanks for all of your hard work making content! Cheers from Alberta, Canada 🍻
Wow, this was really interesting to see. Was playing paintball yesterday in Poland and there we were allowed to play with 280 fps. Here in Germany, 214 is the legal limit.
Nice chronograph by the way. Would be pretty exciting to see the velocity of bigger calibers.
And the slingshot was a cool alternative, to show, how much power you can produce with something other than a firearm.
As always, Greetings from Germany.
here in colorado, usa we can play paintball at 400fps... i used to have a fully modded smartparts ion and customized halo reloader and could shoot it 39 balls per second..... when we would blow the whistle to start, id just point toward enemy spawn and 5 seconds after the whistle i would be reloading..... lol. good old days.... believe me when the enemy hears 200 paintballs hosing around them at 400 fps the tend to push less aggressively........ lmao
Damn Germany used to be cool when that little painter with the funny mustache was in charge now it’s kind of lame.

I love Scott's reaction when he is impressed with a shot. I think this is the longest that I have seen a chronograph last when used by Kentucky Ballistics.
Scott, to complete your journey in the big bore world, I believe you need to get your hands on a .500 Bushwhacker revolver. It is said to be twice as powerful as .500 S&W Magnum given comparable barrel lengths. 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.
Another thing to consider is that human flesh can stretch quite a bit, pork shoulder that has the skin and fat on it can do a really good job at demonstrating it. This was a really cool video, I have often wondered about this very thing. Especially with pellet guns
Slingshot Scott: I fire the *_'whole_* bullet. That's 60% more bullet, per bullet.
If you want a lethal slingshot, you need to talk to Joerg Sprave. He's the man who knows how to accelerate things using rubber.
The slingshot in the video is already quite impressive. It managed to hit 153 fps with the whole bullet.
@@dakartoffel Yes, but can you imagine what Joerg could manage with even a Rambone?
You forgot to mention that not only does he have the “know how” but he’s always more than happy to…….show you it’s features 😁
Giggity.
Fantastic idea for a video I’ve always wondered this. While playing paintball I always figured that marbles fired out of paintball guns would be lethal but never seen it tested
I’m having a rough day and Scott giving that rooster the business made me laugh like a maniac in my work truck. Thank you Scott

Very entertaining, great as always. The velocity definitely plays a part, but the weight of the projectile does too.

kinda of, speed is more important then weight. dont matter how heavy it is if it isnt moving fast enough to matter.
@@5150warpighis point is probably towards the 800 fps being lethal with the 9mm but nothing crazy, but a 45 acp is incredibly lethal at around that velocity because it is heavier

Both speed and weight equally matter. Doesn’t matter if it penetrates or not, it could still be lethal.
But there are more factors to consider like how the force is applied, surface area, etc

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. The 4 gauge is a cannon and you know Scott pulled the table, that thought it escaped, out of the woods, and drove over it with his truck. Silly table should have stayed in the trees. No table escapes the Wrath of Scott.
That table was an honest, hard-working, Scott-fearing man. Shame to see him go out like that, but that's how the world works.
also a friend of mine in 1985 took his 3 screw 1873 using black powder loads slowly stepped up the charge until the bullet hit the magic 600 fps range and proved right there, the old cowboy loads were lethal at gunfighting distance "around 25 feet"!
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.
Very interesting results. But could you do a follow-up video showing just at what range lethal fps is no longer lethal? Like the maximum range for 9mm before its no longer lethal?
This would be interesting
The answer is every round is lethal until you can't reliably hit. See garand thumbs 22lr video.

I like the fact that you used the nearly identical 9 millimeter hand guns I really liked the black 4 inch version also cool video thank you you definitely answers a curiosity of mine well 2 actually because I was wondering about those sling shots
Imagine being shot by a round going 165 fps. You would think you was full of holes and after you was able to assess the situation you would think you was bullet proof
So what you are saying is, militaries should get 165 fps machine guns to trick the enemy into running head on into real guns
I was thinking your English teacher didn't waste their energy.
That's essentially what happened with Texas vs Mexico. Their powder was so bad the bullets bounced off the Texans.

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
Thats kind of slow. even 1000fps what about 3300 fps like many 5.56mm assault rifles travel?
Darn metric system.
An actual interesting and informative video that hasn't been done before. Your best video yet.
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.
Love your less lethal vs lethal comparisons , great information and scientific information 👍
"i can feel it, its right there!"
Thats what she said
I remember there was a proposed attachment for Handguns that’s basically a metal ball that you shoot with a live round. The idea is instead to of a 9mm you hit them with a metal cue ball, and then have live ammo available immediately if needed. Would be cool to see how much energy it would transfer
That sounds like it would end VERY well. :)
@@devnail7368 I can't tell if you're joking or not but yeah, it does work out. The steel basketball works out to be around the same as a less lethal slug, the bigger ones that look like they fit in grenade launchers

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.

Scott examining the bullet wound of the zombie torso probably takes him back to that 50. cal. I'm glad you're still kickin' Scott!
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.

You used the whole bullet+casing with the slingshot, it would be nice to see just the bullet next time. Great video!

At 800fps that 147 bullet was generating around 200 foot pounds of energy. The same energy that a .380acp pistol generates. Definitely lethal

Well Scott I think you proved one thing with this video....SCOOTER really Needs his OWN youtube channel !!!!!!!......I believe that his Vast Experience in what NOT to do, would not Only make great content....but Teach Novice gun owners And beginner youtubers a Ton !!
I know it's not your usual foray. But what about the lethality of BB guns and pellet guns that shoot in those higher FPS levels? Example, I have a pellet rifle that shoots 1200 fps, and a CO2 pistol that shoots 400 to 500 fps (depending on how fresh the tanks are and type of BB's being used)? How would these compare to the test you just ran?
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 😂.
@@vinnyvtec8722 Exactly! That's what I'd like to know. Having a projectile at the same fps but obviously way smaller mass. Could it be just as lethal or not?
I’m at the start of the video but even an air rifle can be lethal depending on the make and model and also where it strikes a person. This should be good 😊👍
I have an idea for a video. In WW1, both sides would shoot machine guns at each others trenches even when they were far away. It has been written that anyone who went to the trenches in the front lines would hear bullets whizzing past them all the time. It was just part of being there.
Maybe you could look into that.
There is one account of a British soldier who was crossing some barbed wire when he felt a prick of pain in his leg. He just figured it was from the barbed wire and thought nothing of it. But later on, it kept hurting so he went to the medical dugout a little bit behind the trench he was in to get it checked out. The medic pulled a bullet out of the wound.
Look into what bullets losing velocity?
It could have been a richochet or bad round
Bad round is likely because if he got shot by a machine gun only once and then the shooting stopped it was probably low velocity so barely did any damage then caused a jam
Love to see the same test with .22lr handguns, using different grain ammo.
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.
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
@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 had a 32s&w revolver that had 600ft/s advertised on the ammo box
an other educationally entertaining video from Scott: i'd really like to see someone do an Air rifle extension of this, id love to do it myself but as Scott and others have said these ballistic labs dummys are bloody expensive...
Hey Scott, your videos are awesome. I was wondering if you could test a 338 Lapua on a zombie torso and different items to see if there's a difference between hunting vs. target ammo up close.

Fudd lore
I agree 45 acp please!!
I'm glad you started doing headshots. Being stopped by the skull is about the minimum of what I would consider being 'nonlethal'.
I think for body shots the most accurate way to measure at what point we get to 'lethal' territory depends on a combination of depth, expansion, and cavitation. You should try this experiment again on a regular block of gel to get an idea on this!

He just needs a kiosk set up out front with his channel on a loop.
Anyone even SLIGHTLY sane is gonna just NOPE! the hell outta that!
I research this a few years ago and it seems that a rough minimum for lethality was in the 60-80fpe range (like a .25 acp pocket pistol), of course depending on wound location. Most .177” BB guns can only generate up to about 20fpe, but if they hit someone in the perfect spot they could be lethal. Anything over 100fpe is carrying lethal potential, think 22lr from a pistol.
I have a .25 break barrel pellet rifle that claims to hit at around 31fpe. With only a 27gn pellet, I can shoot through soup marrow beef bones. The heaviest pellets I have are 43gn, but those just knock over and crack the bones. My co2 Sig Sauer .177 pellet rifle (Sig actually makes them, its freaking awesome, not licensed out to like Daisy or Crosman) however, that thing will obliterate bricks with 6gn alloy pellets. It's incredible the technology that exists nowadays in Air rifles. They've come along way since the Red Ryder!
What is fpe btw? I only know fps which is "feet per second"
@@randomuser-mv7bb foot-pounds of energy
Scott referring to what “velocity” is a bullet lethal is a bit misguided as it’s the resulting energy from a given projectile’s velocity that makes it “lethal”. 400-500 fps for what I assume was a ~115gr 9mm is around 60 foot pounds energy. But say a 30gr .22 bullet at 500 fps will have WAY less energy than a 500fps 115gr 9mm. Step up to like a 150-200gr projectile and 500fps nets even more energy. In terms of projectile ballistics: doubling the mass (grains) doubles the energy; doubling the velocity quadruples the energy.
My .22 PCP shooting 27 grn slugs will knock a deer over at about 60 fpe. I now have a .30 cal that'll run 130 fpe, so I have no doubt it's lethal as well
