Seems to be one of the best penetrating slugs I've ever seen, basically makes shotguns into anti armor rifles. Hope the dude gets a patent for these as they ought to become popular.
Anti-vehicle rounds for sure. Go through the Radiator and crack the engine block. We SAW how much damage even a ricochet did AFTER passing through a lead plate. INSANE!!!
Great for Hog hunting. Shooter, they are gutted, ready for the cutting up. Think about shooting from snout to rear would be best look at all the weight you save carrying them out. 🐻👍
They mention it's heavily inspired by Lehigh Defense products for handguns, mostly just scaled up, so it might be hard to defend any intellectual property from this.

@@danielcoppock Bear rounds aren't for hunting. They're for survival. Those bears can take shots to the lungs and head and keep on coming. They move faster than cars too, so you don't have much time before they close the gap.

PLEASE, don't quit making video's any time soon. You guys crack me up sometimes,I want to say thank you for sharing the projectile testing days with us viewing the channel.
3 flute slugs have been around for a long time in Russia. I used them for boar near Leningrad while there working the oilfields. While stopping power is enormous (it hits like a mule kick) the slug drops more than any other slug I've ever used. It will drop 1 foot for every 10 yards of distance past 30 yards. You really have to lob this slug in there for long range shots.
I was just listening first, so at 08:57 when he said russian ballistic gel, I thought there was something behind the kevlar. I didn't get it until a few seconds after he said that the slug cracked the ballistic gel.
"Stretch and Strengthen" 😁😁😁 non-stop double entendres!! You guys were on fire in this vid. Urge you both to take this act on the road 🙂🙂🙂 Awesome awesome projectile and awesome awesome vid. Thank you. Has become my #1 YT Channel. Informative and fun.
Big props to Gregg for bringing that pork stick, that was one of the best shots ever on this fine channel! I sure hope our friend in Russia can commercialize these slugs & get some guac for his efforts.
Yeah it's like best before dates on pretty much everything. it's so they can say "Hey see this? we warned you! You just didn't listen to us" Your aspirin doesn't expire next year. It's good way past that.
@@greatleader4841 Drugs are interesting because for the most part they just lose potency over time, but will not have lost enough to be non-useful in your lifetime. If you're dealing with a situation where precise dosing is a matter of life and death, sure, the loss of potency matters, but for normal things, just use them until they're gone. The same thing is true with vitamins. Minerals? They never lose potency; they're rocks. :) As for food, if it smells ok, I eat it. I don't look at the dates; I follow my nose.
Amazing video! Glad I found this channel! As one of those World of tank Video gamers. Everything you said was true.

@@arty5279 no doubt, the designer didn't specifie any intended use, but curious how they would work in a practical world say against bear defense for example, out to 10 or 15 yards, tumble or not they are still going to be devastating but, since the vast majority of shotgun users will have smoothbores and for defence in the bush would typically have 18.5 in barrels.
@@llkj7944 True there, even going sideways these things will still come close to hitting their mark, and will still hit like a truck.

Eh, considering what it is used for, a 1% chance of failure could be THE most important 1% at any given time.

However, for a vest that your wearing when comfort and visability actually matter (say, for an officer that might wear it for several more years and never take another round) sure, you'd think of replacing it for comfort, but of course that doesn't mean the "used" one is worthless. Personally, I'd probably use it as an excuse to replace the everyday wear and shove the used one in an empty car panel. A "compromised" vest would be perfect for that type of use.
@@outcast170 Car panel thing is a good idea! Most people have no idea how worthless car doors are against bullets lol. Also, I think you're right on the "just to be safe" aspect. Motorcycle helmets say to replace them the second they hit the ground. Similar concept
Actually, something I didn't think of, as for effectiveness, of a used vest until that motorcycle helmet comment. A used vest, if shot in the damaged area, while it would most probably stop concecutive rounds, it would not however be spreading the force of the impact out as far as undamaged material. That would actually be something they could easily test though, slap a vest on a couple flat blocks of clay, and see if the impact impression changed as the vest absorbed repeated rounds. Sure, that in no way disputes that a vest is not instantly useless after the very first round. I think the OP has the most probable explanation regarding that. Hence the popular use of "compromised" instead of "destroyed" or "damaged". I would still be interested to see if the compromised armor does transfer the impact any different though, despite not losing the ability to still catch the round.
@@adabsurdum5905 Same applies to fall safety harnesses. One fall or 5 years from date of first use. They however, would suffer from extreme exposure to the elements and do start to look pretty ratty in short order from snagging splinters on telephone poles and so forth in my experience.

I love this ammo! Good for home defense in Germany. No burglar in Germany has a bulletproof vest but our houses have thick walls to stop the bullet :-)
This reminds me of the three prong bayonet versus 4 prong bayonet argument, because while a four prong bayonet will often leave a wound that is easily treated, for some reason three prong bayonets leave wounds that are exceptionally difficult to deal with. What he has decided to do is make his round more lethal
The wonderful thing about slo-mo is getting to see all the things we would otherwise miss. Makes the event more fun and the damage all the more impressive. Another great shoot and fun time. Thanks.
Always a good day when I see a new TFM video! Oh, and as for the bowling pins, I know that they used to be used in handgun shooting competitions because they were so tough...and that slug went right through like the pin was made of butter!
Lehigh Defense does make 3 flute bullets. Just not publicly. They are loaded by black hills ammunition. Special units get them to penetrate soft armor. The flutes are brought to much more of an edge and they cut kevlar without deformation.
If you watch the slo-mo of the silly putty shot you can literally see it open and shut as the round went through @19:01. Also, do you think the sheer weight of the round is what was causing the consistent drop in aim?
He might not be that cool on the job.i hate to say it but alotkf cops are funny and do as much dirt as anyone but as soon as they get in there super hero outfit they change....I'm probably wrong tho he seems like great guy..probably is a fair and understanding officer

The wonderful thing about slo-mo is getting to see all the things we would otherwise miss. Makes the event more fun and the damage all the more impressive. Another great shoot and fun time. Thanks.
Right on! I've been looking forward to these.
Wow! Someone needs to mass produce these. :-)
@@TheOlsonOutfit i would take 100 cases for now please, ammo cases. thanks.lol
This proves why TH-cam (Content Creators) are amazing. You would never see this on Cable TV.
Haven't laughed this hard at a TH-cam video in a long time. "Whole new meaning to meat curtains" was my favorite line.
“This is your body on Sabot Slugs, Any Questions???” Love it Guys
Our Russian-American friend knows how to make a slug. Nice work, brother.
Paul Harrell would be proud! 🤣🤣
That was awesome, you guys are a hoot
Always a good day when I see a new TFM video! Oh, and as for the bowling pins, I know that they used to be used in handgun shooting competitions because they were so tough...and that slug went right through like the pin was made of butter!
"Because its coming in to kill your video game ass" OG is so damn funny
"If it caught the right bus..." Dude, I want to hang out with these guys.
Im sitting on my bed in 5am watching bullet ballistics. I dont know what im watching but i like it
OG's deadpan delivery of every joke is so perfect
You guys shot the snakeoid from the movie tremors.
It's a Graboid.
Wow!! Very impressive! I would have love to have seen the gel shot in slow mo. OG ... I needed a good laugh tonight. You are always funny. Thank you
The sense of humor of officer Greg had me cracking up the entire time.
You guys always seem to be having so much fun and never fail to entertain. I was smiling and laughing the whole way through.
OG is so darned hilarious 🤣 😂 😆 💀
OMG that Tenderloin in slow motion
Lehigh Defense does make 3 flute bullets. Just not publicly. They are loaded by black hills ammunition. Special units get them to penetrate soft armor. The flutes are brought to much more of an edge and they cut kevlar without deformation.
"Flying flaps of meat" also known as OG's 80s experience
AKA ballistical meat curtain
That was the funniest, most satisfying vidya I’ve seen in a while.
And I think those slugs are ready for production.
Doug is such a trooper! Always ready to help test!
Love it Jeff & Greg. Keep em coming!
I love how OG can innuendo almost anything. Really though, it's not hard.
"Well I can use a grinder "
Well we do log in on grindr once in a while
Came here for interesting slugs, staying for the awesome humor. Subbed!
thanks Hans
I can't stop laughing at the "meat curtains" crack that O.G. made! I love these longer videos; keep up the great Taofledercrew.
The quips really are in rare form here, holy crap, did OG drink too much coffee before this? Made my day.
If you watch the slo-mo of the silly putty shot you can literally see it open and shut as the round went through @19:01. Also, do you think the sheer weight of the round is what was causing the consistent drop in aim?
Damn...OG had me rolling with his woodwind band called The Three Fluted Extreme Penetrator remark.
I cannot imagine getting pulled over for a traffic stop by Officer Gregg with his sense of humor 🤣🤣🤣
He might not be that cool on the job.i hate to say it but alotkf cops are funny and do as much dirt as anyone but as soon as they get in there super hero outfit they change....I'm probably wrong tho he seems like great guy..probably is a fair and understanding officer
Also, not really likely in today's PC society
Definitely grizzly bear worthy. 12 gauge extreme penetrator, come on Lehigh, time to start production
26:32 HOLY Crap. That was terrifying. Be well guys, thanks for making us laugh and for sharing the footage. Alexey's an incredible thinker and fabricator, it's very generous of him to keep sharing so much with your channel. The man makes unbelievable rounds. So does OG, just in different ways. I can't wait for chapter 4.
Well he is!
I think i found my new log splitter. Conveniently in the form of ammunition.
Very impressive! Well done to the engineering dept.
Jeff is so tight he creaks when he walks.
He skins his prick every time he blinks!
" The Three Fluted Extreme Penetrators Trio " ROTFLMAO!
They opened for the quartet skin flutes
Jeff losing it at the 3 flute exreme penetrator band always gets me 😂😂😂
That pork loin flute-section was the most beautiful, terrible thing I have ever seen. Porkfection
Thank You, TFM. I laughed, gurgled, and giggled like a tween schoolgirl.
