A.R.M. Gatekeeper - Best slug you never heard of
Added 2020-07-22 18:56:11 +0000 UTC
This was a big surprise. This slug had no impressive specs and it looked pretty ugly compared to other CNC - made slugs. This all copper slug is segmented like other fancy slugs and we expected it to function just like all the rest. But no!!
thanks everyone!!
BPI has all the wads, overcards, undercards, and sideways cards you would ever want, in any thickness and in cardboard, foam, felt, and cork. If they don't have it you don't need it.

That slug is awesome

Meat target? Paul Harrell approves.
Breanna? WE approve!
Sort of unrelated, but I've spent some time recently going back through old TFL episodes and making sure they all had thumbs up from me on them.
As much as it pains me to admit (and as many years as I've been a subscriber), apparently I wasn't always good at remembering to do that all the time.
Working on correcting that now....
Y'all be safe,

Another excellent video! HOLY COW, what a slug!!! Great shooting, Lady!!! Looks like you could give both Danny and O.G. a run for their money.
Hey, guys, next time, take the pork roast, slice the skin into 1-2 inch squares (like a grid, but still attached to the meat), season with salt, pepper and garlic, sear all sides in an iron frying pan, make sure it's skin side up and pour a can of chicken broth over it, cover it with a tent of tin foil or a high domed lid and put it in the oven at about 270 for 8-10 hours (for one that big). When it comes out, it falls off the bone and comes apart easily. Shred it (I use a couple of forks) and you have several pounds of the most incredible, tender pork you have ever tasted. I use it in burritos or sometimes pour my favorite BBQ sauce over it for awesome pulled pork sandwiches. This will turn the cheapest pork roast into melt-in-your-mouth tasty goodness. (I usually wait until I can get them for $0.67 per pound, then do them overnight just set an alarm to check on it about every 2 hours - it's well worth the interrupted sleep).

I hope she'll be able to come out again.

What's interesting the slug has its own gas seal, but whoever loaded it used an x12x and a fiber wad under the slug still. Hopefully we can find these as a loading component - I've only see it as a loaded shell.

Wow - Jeff, Greg and Brianna - that has to be the best slug for deer or hogs or defense I've ever seen..!! That would be a great police slug. Against Kevlar coated targets, the force trauma would still be very substantial. The attached skirt is like the Russian slugs / tail wads. I still like the Russian slugs for penetration against tougher dangerous game. You could still grill that pork for the night's dinner with those all copper projectiles. Nice video... thanks for this.

Great video, and cool slug. Breanna did a great job! She's an excellent addition to the crew.

This Slug should be called the "Surgeons Nightmare", just an amazing piece of copper. Great Video. It's always nice to have a guest shooter. Happy to see you got Breanna to come back out and impress with her Dead eye Skills. Taofleder-mausketeers for life.

It's also worse shooting from a bench too. More felt recoil

I hope she wants to keep coming out too. It's a little hard to schedule a time with her.

Not sure if the Gatekeeper pistol are the same manufacturer. Gregg DID tell me they also bought some 5.56 ammo at the same time and one bullet was loaded BACKWARDS.... if that gives you an idea of their quality control. lol

Too bad they are completely unavailable. Great video! Hey anyone else notice how much more movement there is in Breanna's body when she fires a 12 gauge than officer Gregs? Tells you there's a lot more mass in officer Greg, no offense meant. My lady friends WILL NOT shoot my Mossberg 500. They prefer my 9mm. Good shooting Ms. Breanna.

Just incredible. Their website shows they make Gatekeeper pistol rounds too, any chance you guys can find and test these in 9 or 45? I'll keep my eyes open too and send you a box if I get lucky. Thanks to OG for finding these, Jeff for his usual awesome camera work and Breanna for channeling Danny's skills like a boss!
