Heavier Hitter Smoke-Tracer Slugs
Added 2019-10-01 22:03:25 +0000 UTCHi everyone. in this test we try some slugs that Kip from Warwolf sent us to test out that are supposed to be used by forestry workers to start back fires. They were accurate, they delivered a LOT of energy, but they did not start fires. They did leave consistent smoke tracer effects though.
As as experiment, we filmed this the old way, showing the gun and all that to see if it will ever get monetized. If not, we may need to go back to NOT showing any guns since that silly strategy has actually worked.

Still seeing Ads on the video, are you getting monetized?

2019-10-07 20:25:48 +0000 UTCI used to do surveys in the fields in Maryland in summertime, surrounded with bees. It was so hot, that sometimes they would take a break on the eraser of my pencil when I was writing, on my shoulders, head, clipboard, etc. Got very used to them, going about business from clover to clover, keeping me company in the heat. I was stung once - my own fault. In a quarry I stood unknowingly next to the entrance of a ground bee hive. One flew out, landed on my foot, and sat down. I actually felt bad that he died because I was so dumb to get that close to the hive - that's how familiar and comfortable I had gotten with bees out in the fields. Still feel bad about it - like killing a little fuzzy pal for no reason. When they swarm like that, it's a clear sign you are trespassing in what they claim as a front yard. Interesting video - I wonder what a strike-anywhere match head inside the slug would have done on impact.

Autoignition temperature is what you are describing as flash point. The flash point of heavy napthenic oil (main component of 3 in 1) is 420F, and the autoignition temp is 518F.

The lip should provide some structure so that an actual impact is required to release the oil. A potential other problem I see is the oil cooling off as it vaporizes so that it does not reach flashpoint. Maybe stick a primer in there? Or fulminate of mercury?

2019-10-02 07:50:18 +0000 UTCJust paste an image of a big sub sandwich over the gun and call it a day. Also, with the amount of crazy slugs Gregg shoots, dude really should get an extra cushioned buttpad... for science!
