Blunt Force Trauma...From Elephant Guns (Would You Survive???) 

Verry good as usual

Great creator

Hey man remember me

It was awesome like always

Let me know if you want to to come to Kentucky with my ria vr80 and aREX delta m And we can shoot! I’m down

Yeah we had a good laugh about that too. Scott is quite the entertainment

Finally, another Cherokee. I aint never seen anyone else, actually for a confused second I thought I was somehow looking at my own comment that I just didnt remember posting.

That made me laugh so hard😂

It’s called the Edwin Sarkissian effect. Edwin’s grandfather is engraved on the trigger guard.

I am so glad you mentioned that. I thot i was losing my mind !!!!!

I liked it.

yes

Thank you Scott for making this video, you bring a smile to my face with your content. Keep it up

SCOTT U DA BEST

all i could think about was the movie TREMORS 😂

The wife would steal it. 😅

What do you mean? Has that never happened to you?

All 14 ribs squashed Meatloaf

Noted

I looked it up on Google too.

There definitely would be punctured organs from the bone fragments. Also a strong possibility of stopping the heart from the impact

Scott's underrated and I can't wait to see him blow up more (no pun intended)

It's the highlight of my week

he is THE BEST gun you-tuber ever

@@jakenichols2626 Hoping he blows more stuff up opposed to stuff blowing him up😂

I thought that is why they add spacers and padding in body armour to prevent just that?

More like 10,000 words.

It will lol it'll be pretty much the same thing as holding a 9 mm single shot against your chest and feeling the recoil It's not going to do much... Especially a hard plate... A better question is why is an 18-year-old the concerned about facing body armor in a self-defense situation?

@@Johnny-tq9no because its better to know and protect yourself and never use it then to be in a situation of despretly needing one and not having it

@@Johnny-tq9no Johnny, have you seen the news lately? It's a very definite fact that a young female should know how to defend herself and be prepared and able to do so. I know Johnny, the thump of a 12 or even a 20-gauge at close range into a vest will definitely impact a lot of energy to the vest wearer. So now I get to ask, did you watch the video?

U do go on a bit but 1k a bit much.scotts a great guy glad u can get him extra views with teaching others..thats nice of u

That's putting it mildly.

Its the caliber that was used as base for the .338 lapua, impressive indeed.

Just out of curiosity, what is the internal damage threshold? How much energy is required?

Scott said in the video that the Level 4 plate wasn't desinged to stop the rounds he was using (brass solids) He was just being optimistic lol

The US Army did testing in the early 2000s and determined that even if the then issued SAPI plates fully stopped the projectile, any impact of 2700fpe or higher would still produce significant internal damage.

@@Valorius Noted, thank ya.

I think 'Jacob' missed the entire point of Scott's video ..... FUN

The 416 is one of my favorites to see, it was awesome in the bowling ball video

It's gotta be the speed, that thing is fuckin scary, straight vaporizes whatever it touches

Yeah I thought exactly the same. Those nitro projectiles are too big and they loose their piercing effect as we saw it here or in the bowling balls vid. That cz550 416 is totally insane 🤯 and tbh after bowling balls video I was expecting these results 😂

@@darrionj707 An Alaskan guide I know shot a huge brown bear with a .416 Rigby from across a ravine. It was walking uphill so he hit it in the back kinda between the shoulders. It literally planted that bear in the ground when it hit.

@@hansgruber9685 fungular maaaan. I lived in AK five Winters.

Honestly, it's not really designed with elephant rounds in mind... It's meant to stop rifle calibers likely to be encountered in combat situations, and elephant guns and their ammo are far too heavy and unwieldy to be worth using as primary weapons, not to mention they're overkill. Plus, armor that can reliably stop such a round would itself likely be immensely cumbersome, and soldiers need to be mobile. These plates will reliably stop up to AP 30-06 (according to the manufacturer), which is already way more powerful than most militaries outfit their soldiers with.

The first elephant gun round with the brass solid was a poor choice. If it were lead, it'd have had a chance to dump some energy. solids aren't going to deform much. They'll zip right through anything. They're fast, light and strong. Exactly what will defeat armor every time. I can't imagine how he didn't expect the first elephant gun not to penetrate the armor. He used the most overpenetrating round possible.

In this case it was all about the materials. Brass is a very hard, resilient metal. Lead is the opposite. I'm really surprised that Scott chose brass solids for this. They rarely expand

@@lemax6865 Nothing against the armour. In fairness its doing better than it should if its stopping anything from these things - let alone brass. My point was more that just because it stopped a round from one of these doesn't mean it always will since its not rated for them. I'm sure Premier can make something that will stop these every time but this isn't that.

The thing is, for the way armor rating is determined (as in, what level of armor) the actual requirement is much lower than most people assume when hearing what it can "stop" effectively. For example, when he says that the Level 4 plate will stop an armor piercing 7.62 round, the actual specs say it will stop exactly ONE armor piercing 7.62 round. If you put a 2nd round in the same place it's going through. For some comparison, a L3 plate is rated to stop 6 standard 7.62 NATO rounds before being compromised. The more commonly found L3-A armor has some variance (mostly based on it's quality and design), but is rated to stop several 9mm or .44 magnum rounds. The point of distinction is between 3-A and 3, with 3-A and lower usually being "soft" armor, while L3 & L4 are designed using hard plates. Hard plates tend to degrade faster for a variety of reasons, but are usually capable of stopping a more powerful round (well, one round anyway...). That being said, I do still find it a bit sus that a 5.56 from an AR was able to deform the inside of a L4 plate like that. A 7.62 round is leaving the barrel at 3+ times the velocity and carries at least 2x as much energy from the start, so I'm not so sure I'd be willing to trust that particular plate to actually stop an AP 7.62 from penetrating....

BFT from a BFG hehe

Helmets and face shields are helpful if the projectile hits at an angle or from a distance.

@@hansgruber9685 Too many variables to discuss, but the statement stand regarding BFT. However, if you really feel that way, put on a face shield, let someone stand out at 300+m and pop you in the grape; then we'll see how that works out for ya.

@@yamahabiker1937 why so hostile. people don't wear armor because they expect to be shot. they wear armor just in case, and still try to avoid being shot. and a ton of life threatening injuries are due to various shrapnels, which a face shield would be useful for.

@@yamahabiker1937 the professionals vouch for helmets. many stories on yt of helmets ricocheting rounds way larger than it was ever meant to stop. stories of stepping over a guy who dropped after a headshot only for him to come to 20 minutes later, being only knocked out. would you rather take a shot at 300 with your bare skull or with the helmet on?

That was probably a lot of us today, the markets weren't pretty lol.

As someone who is literally a scientist, I can confirm this is what happens every time.

@@pokemon1895 It's more worrying if everything DOES go according to plan.

Metallurgy, chemistry, and physics! At the same time!😁😁😁

You gonna tell the police that when they come to confiscate the people's firearms that they're not gonna have a good time?

acab. Cops protect capital not citizens.

@@sethdaboss245 Police aren't legally obligated to enforce the law (or save people like we saw in Uvalde). So if their boss (most places the sheriff) tells them to look the other way when they see a 'illegal' gun, they can and will. Be sure to pick your local leaders carefully, they can do a lot to protect you.

@@caseyb1346 Great advice, unfortunately we have many brothers living in counties with Democrat Sheriffs.

@@caseyb1346 they will not look the other way. Do not kid yourself.

What a penetration

The forces in effect are UNREAL.

The body armor Are much stronger than natural bones of any kind on this planet. But i Get ur point

A lot of that has to do with the ammunition. The solid brass rounds are made for penetrating. Soft points are made to fragment and dump all energy into the target. 🤙🏻 Edit. Fragment or mushroom.

@@muzzleflash7056 yep, and you'd want it to dump all of its energy in the target if you're hunting stuff the size of elephants.

@@austinkoeppen6122 actually on the biggest of game you want maximum penetration and solids are used more than anything else. The dgs is actually not a soft point but its not a true solid either. You need to break huge animals down and only solids can do that

Just big bullets going too slow to make the hydrostatic shock that makes things blow up

But the force they carry is unreal

@@mariabrown1278 right, 500+ grains is a lot of lead to stop. I’m not sure what kind of velocities these rounds are capable of but that is a whole hell of a lot of lead screaming down range. I agree with OP though, .416 Rigby seems like an insanely effective round. Edit .460 to .416

I'd like to see him get ahold of a 950 JDJ, a 3600 (that's not a typo, it's a 3 thousand 6 hundred) grain projectile with a 2200 ft/s muzzle velocity is liable to rip that zombie in half

@@msihcs8171 Might be the first rifle he wouldn't try to shoot standing up lol

The purpose of a bullet is to put a large amount of kinetic energy into a small cross-section. The point of armor is to enlarge the cross section of impact. 5000N applied to a cross section the size of a pencil lead is deadly. 5000N applied to a many kg mass spreads the cross section of that energy transfer in both time and space.

@@misguidedsaint3693 The puntgun is a really nice home defense gun, if you got a room in the house where you can comfortably swing it around to point in the general compass direction of the target.

Maybe hearth attack
