Opening a 48 year old can of 7.62x39

This is a can of ammo I bought from a seller listed in Shotgun News around 1991 or so.   It's been sitting in my attack and nearly forgotten since.   

I wanted to share this with you since you don't see stuff like this every day.

MakSnipe Power Hunt slugs (overload tests)

Thank you again Patreon supporters.   

Flex Seal applied to body armor

Will the flex seal control the bullet fragmentation?     Thank you again Patreon supports!    I do spend your money wisely and was able to find a second purpose for the Flex Seal that you guys bought.    Every penny counts these days!  

Rock Salt - Just an urban myth?

We'll see how long this video lasts until it is demonetized.    So many people have asked us to shoot rock salt that we thought it would good idea to show how effective it is.  

Goodie Give-aways - Your thoughts

Patrick from The Firearms Rack got an email from Patreon saying he can't have give-aways-  at least the way he was doing it.    I haven't gotten any emails myself from Patreon.    He said his account was suspended until he removed the raffle/giveaways.   

I know you folks don't supp...

Can a golfer really drive a golf ball further than a 12ga slug?

I'm doing an experiment on this video. I turned off notifications to my subscribers because the notification system is SO BROKEN,   I  believe it is detrimental to the video's performance.   Please rate the video and we'll see if my theory is true.    

Golf Ball bullets

Thank you supporters!    Here is an early-viewing!

Will it super-sonic? CO2-type capsules

A very popular suggestion.

Cheapest Amazon Rifle Scope vs 12 gauge shotgun

We Loctited-this cheap scope to a Mossberg 590 to see if this would ever hold zero.   Surprisingly,   it did quite well.   We probably put a total of 20 rounds through it,   how long the scope would last would probably break the bank.    But  it did well in this test. 2018-09-04 22:11:59 +0000 UTC View Post

Winchester BRI Sabot slugs. 50 cal. beasts

The Winchester BRI Sabot bullets are not the most well-known American slugs.   Oddly,  the box says they are for rifled barrels or rifled chokes.   Knowing some of the history about these,   the slugs were designed in the early 60's at a time when rifling on shotguns wasn't a thing.   ...

5 Basement-Ninja Swords vs Danny

When people sent us stuff to shoot,  we shoot it!    Richard sent us 5 swords and Danny blasts the snot out of them.  Then we try some of Tim Hamilton's Brass Pellets and show the power of those!   

Thank you supporters!!  

Can a shotgun slug cut through the chain of a pair of handcuffs without injuring the wearer?

A few viewers asked us to try this and it sounded like a great idea! 

Thank you patreon supporters!

R-Candy rocket slugs

A viewer created these slugs for us to test out -  his version of a modern Gyrojet round.    

Gregg the illegal immigrant (in Turkey)

I asked Gregg to talk about his story of nearly drowning,  rescue at sea, and detainment in Turkey.     Thought some people might like to hear about this!  

You Make it - We Shoot it - Internal fins?

Evan sent these to Mattv2099 a couple years ago,   and then Matt sent them to us.    These were interesting slugs to shoot.  We never know if a slug will even HIT the target.   

thank you again Patreon supporters and welcome all the new contributors! 

MakSnipe MK2 (Lithuania) slug tests

Early viewing of the MK2 slugs.    We had some issues with some of the early test loads where the plastic was just shattering.   But we figured it out eventually. 

Blunt-body concept using steel washers

The Japanese Yen coins flew pretty well when we reshaped  them into a dome-shape.   How will washers behave?   

Thank you Patreon supporters!  

Japanese Yen coin shotgun rounds

We have shot dimes before but they were pretty bad projectiles.   They would scatter all over the place, some would key-hole,  while others might hit flat.    Most would just miss a large target at less than 10 yards.   

thank you Patreon supporters!  

Flex Seal shotgun slugs

Pretty silly video but we had fun making it.    Thank you Patreon supporters! 

Slugs with binary-type explosive in them

Jerry,  who is making these slugs has continued to improve the ballistics of his slugs - I think he's finally got it.   He sent more slugs and some sort of tannerite-like powder to put inside them.   

thank you Patreons!    I hope you enjoy the video! 

Viewer-made carbide-tipped slug

Thank you Patreon supporters!   

Pistol Caliber adapters for shotguns

Thank you Patron supporters!   

Poleva Magnum Discarding Sabot slugs

35 grams of pure-knockdown power.   These  heavy slugs hurt the shooter almost as much as the targets!    Thank you again Patreons.  Enjoy the early viewing!  

J-B Weld knife

Just something different.  I make a knife blade out of J-B Weld.  (I had some extra "steelStik")   Thank you again for your support!  

x-treme foster slugs - no longer for sale

A viewer named Alec wanted us to test these shells so he sent enough for a test.   These are no longer for sale,   so we look for clues why they failed.   I have to say they were very pretty though!  

J-B Weld Shotgun slugs

Thank you supporters for allowing us to make this much-requested video! (early viewing just for you guys)

Very impressive new slug!

Thank you Patreon supporters,  as always!  

June give-away. Moose antler slug (and brass pellet)

Here's something you don't see every day.  A 12ga slug made out of a moose antler with a heavy copper core.   Also, the winner will get one of Tim Hamilton's brass pellets.   Both of these were shot-  but are in good enough condition they could actually be loaded and shot again. 

I...
