Tommy Rad, sent us some BALLISTIC PRODUCTS "Thug Slugs". These are 1oz, and are sold to hand loaders. (folks that re-load their own ammo)
The wadding stays attached to the lead slug in flight and helps to keep the slug flying straight through the air. While these slugs may look very similar to the Brenneke slugs, the results were quite different. However, each slug has its own application so if are looking for something with low over-penetration, this might be the slug for you.

@ericfaulk2204 8 лет назад

There's a common misconception that higher penetration means better stopping power. In fact the reverse is true. You want the projectile to dump all its kinetic energy into the target, causing cavitation. This is why hollow points are so effective against unarmored flesh.

@nighthowler8107 Год назад

Some hollow points penetrate more than others and with a freakin shotgun slug it really doesn't matter

@FISHBOY1210 8 лет назад

Thank you Nick for your service in the Marine Corps

@GunFunZS 8 лет назад

Thanks Jeff. Also Tommy Rad. Another good video series to compare these too is Brobee 223's videos on various slugs for hunting. The alloy used makes a very big difference in terminal performance.

@darangemaster1 8 лет назад

doesn't surprise me about the Brenneke slugs as they are designed for deep penetration on large dangerous animals. these slugs would be very good for predators of the two legged kind. IMHO

@Sideshowbobx 8 лет назад

+darangemaster1 way too much over penetration - unless you want to stop a on speeding car full of thugs. And even then you might get plenty of over penetration out of these Brennekes.

@notpulverman9660 8 лет назад

@triggertalk7755 8 лет назад

+TAOFLEDERMAUS you haven't recast them yet? ?? they must contain "Wolverines" dna ... or maybe it was created by "cyberdyne" like the T-1000, but gelatin.

@taofledermaus 8 лет назад

I will re-dress them using a heat gun and that seals up the holes pretty well.

+Joshua Kellogg thanks Joshua!!

@scotts.2624 8 лет назад

Well you mostly find thugs in a city. Over penetration is a bad thing in a city. Its best if the projectile does not leave what it was fired at. If it misses then it wont bounce off a brick wall and wipe out some kid. Nor is it likely to slice through an old wood row house and into the one next door. That is a round I would feel ok with using in a urban environment.

@scotts.2624 8 лет назад

HortonKansas Yes it is called Methamphetamine. It does not get rid of vermin as quick as the Thug Slug. However I think a Thug slug would also appropriately deal with a meth dealer as well as it would deal with a gang member. Of course lets not forget the sub humans that sell heroin. The Thug Slug would solve the problem of those vermin also.

@darkgael0 6 лет назад

I have used the Thug Slug extensively. I use a Mossberg 695 bolt gun rifled barrel. I copied data from Hubel’s “12 gauge Shotgun from Hell” series (posted on just about every shooting forum on the Internet). The slug is loaded into Rocky Mt Cartridge Co. lathe turned brass hulls. The powder load was 80 grains of IMR 4759. I have not chrono’d this load. According to Hubel, whose testing is extensive, this is a safe load...within normal pressures for a shotgun slug. Very accurate out to 100 yards, the farthest that I have shot it. Have also tried 40 grains of Steel.

Could you maby mold a WHISTLE into a wax slug and shoot it out on a field, so that it flies as long as it can? I guess it won't sound anything because of the pressure waves in front of it, but maby? If it did in fact work that could be awesome!

@josephrodriguez2780 Год назад

That's an excellent slug a man stopper. Little dump all its energy in the body

@roger_revo 8 лет назад

I suggest putting a sandbag on the block of wood and resting the fore end of the shotgun on the sandbag. This would protect the barrel of the shotgun and raise the shotgun which make it a more comfortable shooting position.

@buzzbbird 8 лет назад

I think these are GREAT antipersonel slugs! The fact that the energy dissipates quickly and there is not overpenetration, means the danger of collateral damage im limited and the damage inflicted is maximized.

@macmurfy2jka 8 лет назад

More like anti-thug, thus the name!

@mementoelektra 8 лет назад

Tommy Rad has sent you a message :-D ..... wait no... Thug life!

@dimamax5372 8 лет назад

I've used what you call "thug slugs" few years ago. Bought them from Italy (they advertised them as "deer slug" due to less penetration and soft lead) and load them with 2,3 grams Unique in a fiocchi cartridge with a 616 primer and the result was..perfect. A very accurate slug up to 80 meters. I shot a roe deer in a distance of 90 meters and the 27 kgs male collapsed in the spot. For me it is a great slug unless you want to shoot brickwalls or steel doors.

It's an expansion tank. When you heat water it expands and the tank is designed to take that extra pressure off your water piping system so the t&p valve on your water heater doesn't keep dumping

A Canadian company called "Score" loads these commercially. I have a couple thousand and they are awesome. The listed weight is a bit misleading though as it includes the weight of the wad. 1 1/8 oz comes in at 1oz of lead.

@johnsiders7819 8 лет назад

Be good for close quarter home defense shot guns. I think that's what they had in mind and for urban streets for the 2 legged thugs I will check these out .

@byronsanchez1113 8 лет назад

you should do a compilation of best slugs or top 10 slugs results

@TheWoundChannel 8 лет назад

That was awsome! I can't believe it didn't penetrate deeper. I love when a ballistic test surprises me. Have you been stepping on those bears? 😂😂

@taofledermaus 8 лет назад

+The Wound Channel Thanks! I store the bears in the vertical position but I need to store they laying on their backs. They droop a bit.

@WallaceAndersonOfficial 8 лет назад

Nice change of scenery. Where are you?

@davesmith6173 8 лет назад

Much like the old Activ slugs,they had a red hull.The wad was connected to the slug and did not come off.I know this because I found many inside deer when i dressed them.They were extremely accurate out of smooth bore shotguns.I still have a bunch for home defense.

@bobthompson4319 5 лет назад

when I processed wild game I'd find alot of 20ga brenekes and winchester 12ga foster hollow points and Remington sluggers. funny part is the no n hollow point sluggers would expand the same as the winchester hollow points.

@arturoakaarthur 8 лет назад

those slugs also come in the fiocci 2 3/4 shells. Took one apart not too long ago.

@taofledermaus 8 лет назад

+Do It Yourself Or DIE! Someone else had mention that too.

@lucasgarcia1345 8 лет назад

the reason why the slug broke apart so easily is because it's a hollow point. the fact that it's a softer lead may have a factor but I'm positive it's mostly due to the fact that it's a hollow point. and as we all know hollow points are absolutely terrible at penetrating armor. the other slugs you mentioned are not hollow points so that is a huge difference between the two.

@utrak 8 лет назад

Mean marine! Cool slug, also watched the Brenneke vid (and sub'd), pretty huge performance difference. Seems like the thug slug was designed to dump all its energy into a person-sized soft target without penetrating. While the Brenneke is designed for anti-dinosaur applications. Should be called the Turok slug.

@taofledermaus 8 лет назад

+utrak Lol, yeah big difference in outcomes.

@christophercomer2544 8 лет назад

These would be good for home defense, since they do not like to penetrate anything hard, but fly fairly straight

@AllenSAshley 8 лет назад

Wow, completely different then the brenneke slugs!

@taofledermaus 8 лет назад

@reggiep75 8 лет назад

The shells look the same but the Brenneke slugs have a penetrator. Why not do a comparative test by getting some Brenneke slugs and chopping the face of slug flat and see if it's properties change to those similar of the 'Thug Slugs'? Good video tho and the video format improvements looks better than before.

@gabrieleciciriello6447 8 лет назад

+TAOFLEDERMAUS if you pay attention to the shotgun ypu can see that the slide is going back and almost ejecting the empty shell from the recoil. i have a question though,if the benelli nova is a convertible shotgun,why you don't use it as a semiauto?

@MrLKL88 8 лет назад

@treatyourself7965 8 лет назад

Awesome test! I'm curious what a fully rifled barrel would do for the stability and overall performance? again the test was impressive. Marksman was spot on. Video well done. I'm sold. I'll be reloading with those.

@taofledermaus 8 лет назад

+UR IT I don't think there would be that much difference with a fully rifled barrel.
