Another California work-around.

Gregg shows us his FightLite "featureless"  rifle.  By eliminating the pistol grip,   it is legal in California (and probably other states)  and offers full functionality.    When we started filming,  a helicopter crop duster showed up to spray a field so we had to work around that.   

thank you supporters!   &nbs...

Testing the latest exotic Russian slugs - (prototypes)

Pretty extensive testing of some new Russian slugs that have only been tested on computer models previously.    

Thank you Patrons!   

12ga tracer rounds - excellent performance

We test out some tracer slugs from UNAMMO that turned out to be outstanding slugs.

Thank you Patrons!!

Just for something different, Gregg shows us his new bullpup

We are late to the game as far as reviews of this Kel-Tec,   but  we thought you would still enjoy seeing it.

thanks everyone!  

Green Slug - 12ga shell from HECK!

We test out a few BPI Green Slugs a viewer was kind enough to send us.    These were loaded into brass,  old-school shells just for kicks.

thank you Patrons!!!  

.50 Beowulf Lehigh bullet + RSS sabot

This is what happens when you have weak support on a set up like this.  The bullet actually was left behind as the wad and sabot went right past it in the barrel.   But we learn from stuff like this and hopefully you will too.

thank you again supporters!  

Firework store set afire by a shotgun slug? We test it!

A viewer contacted me with this story and it seemed like a good thing to test out.    

We are getting slammed hard with demonetization since Jan 1.   It's worse than ever,  so I want to again thank you for your support.  

A re-cap of the best exotic commercial slugs from 2018

Dang it,  I will be drawing the winner of December's goodie give-away tomorrow.   Been a chaotic couple of weeks.   Sorry

But thank you again for your support!

Confirmed: Shooting at gummy bears is not allowed on Youtube

Until recently,   Partner Support would not give a reason why videos are being demonetized.  When we asked them to re-review videos sometimes they would reinstate the ads,  and sometimes they wouldn't.   When they denied monetization,  they'd just give us a link to their rules --- which we believe we follow.   Very frustrating.  

This time...

Aero-Spike Russian API rounds

I can't imagine YT allowing monetization on this video for more than a day.   But these days I feel like I am working for the Patreon supporters more than trying to appease the advertisers.   Thank you for supporting us!    

Chris is selling inert Aero-Spike rounds to help recoup some of the costs of making these.  They aren't cheap but considering ...

Solid, heavy diabolo slug tests

We've wanted to see how stable solid diabolo slugs are and a viewer was kind enough to send us some.    Weighing at almost 40 grams,   they performed quite well.

Slug dimensions and submissions

A few people have asked what the tolerances are for a slug they might want to fabricate and submit.   Most people contact me through Facebook messages and I can pick their brains to see what they have.   About 90% of the time,  the people who say they will send us stuff never do. ( that's just the nature of the internet) 

  Some ideas I had to rejec...

Drill bit slug

Thanks Patrons for sticking with me!   

Danny's tiny .22 Mag

I thought it would be neat to film Danny's little .22 mag revolver.    

Thank you Patrons!   

We test BPI's AQ slugs -Made in USA now

Originally made in Italy,  these were sold by Ballistic Products for years and had very good reviews by hunters.   The Italian company went out of business around 10 years ago but BPI got the tooling to manufacture these themselves.  I think this is a first since BPI normally re-sells other company's slugs.  

thank you Patrons!  

Proper use of hockey pucks for self-defense

Danny is back!    

How effective are hockey pucks if they are turned into slugs.  These weigh 8 grams each but are flying over 2000 fps. 

thank you Patrons! 

Backwards pellet - are they stable?

We shoot some diabolo pellets (made using Svarog Russian molds by Jesse Crowe)  backwards.   Will they tumble?   

Thank you again Patreon supporters.

We test the Svarog Italian (fire hydrant) slugs

These are quickly becoming a popular hand-load.   Heavy weight,  accuracy,  and economical.   

thank you Patreon supporters!  

Cast iron shotgun slugs

We have shot cast iron slugs that Tim Hamilton made for us and THOSE broke into many pieces,  so I did not expect these MUCH heavier slugs to hold up at all.   But again,  I was surprised by the results.

thank you again for supporting the channel!  

Transparent shotgun slugs

Evan designed another oddball round using old shoe display signs.   I think most of his slugs are made out of stuff he finds and re-imagines into other creations.    

Thank you patreon supporters!  

TTTT - old cologne

We will be posting more shooting videos this week as I've finally been able to coordinate with Gregg to film some stuff.   He was stationed up near Chico to patrol for looters from the massive fires up there.   

Thank you again for your generous support.  

Brake Fluid - test tube torcher test 2.0 - Early viewing

We test dot 3 brake fluid once again,   but not exactly the same way we did it for the first time.   Thank you again everyone supporting us on Patreon. 

Test Tube Torcher Test - WD-40

What happens when we super-heat WD-40?

Thank you again for your support.  

Very powerful new Australian 12ga slugs

We only have 5 of these to test out but we picked a variety of different types of targets-  these pretty much destroyed everything.    

thank you again for supporting our channel

Magnets propelled to 1000 mph

We shoot these 12 ga magnets slugs to around 1400 fps and see if they effect compasses,  other magnets, etc.    Most ideas were suggested by viewers.  

thank you for your support!    Enjoy the early viewing!  

1970's technology that was ahead of its time

Denver from Australia sent us some vintage slugs made in Czechoslovakia.  These were probably made around 1975,  give or take a couple years.  

Enjoy the early viewing.  I am also going to try, just as an experiment,  the Premiere mode where people can watch the video,  sort of resembling a live-stream where I can answer live questions and all that.  ...

Slug designed by psychiatrist

I accidentally went public with this,  I was going to make it unlisted, share it with you guys then go public tomorrow night.   

Thank you everyone for your support.    

Frustrating day of failures. Don't watch!

Several hours of work went in the toilet as things did not work out as planned.  This is rare,  but this day it plagued us.

Chronos 1.4 camera after 2 years (just keeps getting better)

I've been using the Chronos for 2 years.   David,  the inventor of the camera recently asked me to return the camera so they could bring the camera up to current specs.   They replaced nearly everything in the camera.   The new imagery is much better.  

Gregg the anti-tank gunner

Quick video showing Gregg blasting away at a big RC tank.   With the Chronos camera,  it almost looks full scale!    Thanks Patreon supporters!
