The deadliest, NASTIEST shotgun slug we've ever tested? 

This one has "Geneva suggestions" written all over it .

"We fire three whole bullets! That's 300% more bullet, per bullet!" - Cave Johnson, probably.

This is not a slug, this is a shotgun-propelled grenade.

Taofledermaus in 30 years: "Evan sent us a micronized oxygen destroyer in a 12 gauge shell. To prevent unnecessary collateral damage, we're using the town of Lodi as a backstop."

I think that Perry guy just goes around life with calipers in his hand measuring random stuff and being like "yup... this definitely fits in a 12 gauge"

"Imagine having all that inside your gut" No, I don't think I will.

I gotta say Evan is a madman hopefully NOONE ever gets shot with this horrible contraption

This tickles my inner Canadian. I don't have this checked on my Geneva Checklist yet.

thats a geniusly evil round. the stars by themselves are evil enough, but when the blanks fire, it makes the spikes flare out, essentially making it a self-expanding round. and with each star being able to separate off... whatever it hits becomes shredded meat

Can you imagine trying to explain this to a judge... Judge: "Why does it look like he has a bunch of ninja stars exploding out of him." "It's a home defense round..."

Person: *Breaks into home* Home Owner: “OH BOY! Time to try out my new Shotgun Round!”

Exploding bullets are literally a war crime. So dope.

This is the first time you have featured a round that I would not use against even the most vile of enemies. That is just horrific.

A new white paper is now available: "Analysis of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks with Reference to its Potential and Sustainability against Novel Shotgun Slugs and other Destructive Devices"

It's a good thing that Evan is a good man; otherwise, he'd be an evil genius. Sweet work from all involved.

New spell, fire damage on impact + AoE bleed damage, sounds OP

Evan Perry makes MacGyver looks like a grade-school arts and crafts teacher. You lock that guy in a room with copy paper, chewing gum, and a nail file, he'd probably have you rolling around in a nuclear submarine within the hour.

Has Evan ever been psychologically evaluated?... I don't want him locked up I'm just wondering if he is officially a mad genius 🤣🤣🤣

That's no home defense round, that's a war crime round. The crippler. The frag grenade shuriken shot.

Wow, that is an impressive level of ingenuity from a twisted, twisted mind. I love it.

This is what the first stages of a war crime look like! Flechettes on steroids

"It's not a war crime the first time"- some electrical guy

Canada and Poland be like: WE'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK

Whoever made this took the catch phrase "Rip and tear until it is done!" to a whole new level!

Remove the center pin. The brass cases are more than enough to hold it together. Having a center hole would help it fly straighter, and they would separate more consistently. Put a divot in the middle of each of the flanges and in the inside corner of each point to give them room to bend and detach from the brass more easily. It would also give them a stress point where they could break apart. Make the center hole larger. This will reduce air resistance, keep it more stable, and give each segment another stress point in the center, which would make them more frangible. Using hardened and untempered steel, or cast steel would help with this. Using fewer segments separated by washers or shims would give them room to separate as well. You could also keep the center pin, but redesign it to use a single centerfire blank such as .38 Special in the center with the center pin protruding further to act as a firing pin. With the right materials and enough stress points, this would essentially create a 12 gauge frag grenade. *Hi ATF!*

That is one hell of a slug. Remind me never to piss this guy off because not only will that slug kill me, it would hurt the whole time I am dying.

9:11 love the classical Bob Barker Price is Right tune in the background!😊

I have not seen this channel in a while, but every time I stumble upon it. I’m reminded exactly why I subscribed, nothing but quality content and nostalgia.

Evan is savage and unnatural at devising murderous shotgun slugs. *Grins* I approve.

That's a NASTY round. Thank you for the cutaway on how you stacked the shell, nice touch!

So glad I came across this channel, very interesting and so nice!

That shell is crazy. Exploding ninja stars on Impact even near the body would do some serious damage. Awesome video guys thank you

Congratulation, You have unlocked the first step of creating the boltgun.

I think Evan came up with a potential war crime. That thing is terrifying

As Always, Thank You for All of your hard work to bring us these Amazing Vid and Tests!!!

i like the new intro roll of the loading setup! really smooth and awesome!

Thank you again for making the day a little better.

The gel slow mo made me laugh. It was like massive, almost terminal flatulence followed by a hospitalizing prolapse 😂

I was honestly surprised the blanks detonated.

With all these scorch marks, it's so nice and considerate of whoever is manufacturing these to make a round that would cauterize the wound upon entry

A sign on your door saying “This home protected by the Revolver Slug” would scare even the most hardened criminal straight! This is by far the wickedest slug you’ve ever tested on your channel!!

Another great video Jeff! Love the evil genius creations from Evan. Awesome to see the ramsets detonating, very fitting to see them tested on concrete blocks. A special thanks to Tyler and Mike as well.

Great content as always! Keep up the great content

"Concrete masonry unit" is one of the most hilariously bureaucratic things I've ever heard.

Oooo. Just what i needed today. A little pick me up after shelling out 450$ to have my furnace and hot water fixed after it failing yesterday morning. No heat or hot water in canada this time of year kind of sucks. Haha Take care everyone

A playlist of Evan's finest projectiles is a brilliant idea , he certainly deserves a museum of his wickedly wonderful creations . As for todays offering Evan excelled himself again ,just when You thought his destructive devices couldn't be anymore ingenious he rewrites the rule book again . Mile and Tyler did a fine job of putting them to good use & getting them on target , Mike's comment on the Hong Kong body armour and Your take on the T&T jelly contraption brought a wide grin to My face , I, don't think he'd put his gel through such torture and even he'd struggle to make it clear again . Thanks Jeff Thanks Mike & Tyler , catch You next time , Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well.

These are wicked! I love the razor blade shrapnel!

This reminds me of tank shrapnel shells, which upon penetration will detonate a small explosive that shoots out a bunch of little metal balls very quickly, theoretically killing the crew

This round is amazing. Evan did a great job with this and I think it requires more tinkering. Thankfully, the new modification I’d suggest is quite simple: attach a tip to the round to the center pin. I think a bit more weight on the tip might help it fly straight and insure the blanks are set off on impact. If he’s seeing this, Evan, make a three sided tip heavy tip for this round before adding the blanks so the round penetrates and guarantees blank ignition with material separating at the tip and adding pressure to the blank primers.

Awesomeness as usual. Mike and Tyler did a great job. Jeff great job on the equipment. Love your videos

Damn, now I feel like making a few of these. I'd probably make them a bit differently though. Machine a single cylinder out of a brittle high carbon steel shaped like a thick-walled cup, use a single centrally positioned ramset as a primer charge (heck, maybe remove the gunpowder in the ramset and replace with something more powerful, we only need the primer after all) to ignite a larger quantity of some other explosive housed in the empty space under the ramset (flash powder comes to mind, might be too sensitive to avoid risk of it going off when you fire the gun, would have to run some tests...). Machine some slots down the sides of the cylinder to aid in uniform fragmentation, and you'd basically be firing a little grenade.

2 minutes in and I'm already getting old school vibes from this one! Can't wait for the rest of the video. You might not have been sure if the gummy bear would set off the blanks, but Evan knew what would happen. That guy is a madman! Or a mad scientist. With all of his contributions, I would even venture...mad genius 😮.

Holy hell! It's like a hollow point on steroids!

And this is why solid shells will never go away, it's just too creative.

its so awesome to see the advancements of people sending their own ammo compared to like 10+ years ago when you started Tao.

Someone needs to make these commercially available to the public.

I love the wad/ sabot breakdown! Great stuff!

It looked like 1 of those .22 rounds made it all the way through the gel block. There was a flash of brass out of the back right before it flips on the table. @13:05, I do believe, is the start of the slowmo that shows the brass exit out of the back of the gel block.

"Sergeant - switch to the 'War Crimes' rounds!"

Awesome video Jeff! When the gel block was shot, and farting out all those fumes, reminded me of the aftermath of eating taco bell. Lol

13:20 Gel Fart

That seems like really unpredictable shrapnel that y'all are like 10 yards from. I hope you're being safe.

It is good that Mr. Perry uses his ballistic superpowers for Goodness & Niceness instead of for Evil & KAOS.

Have you tried shooting an expanding broadhead out of a shotgun?

I audibly said "Jesus CHRIST" no less than five times during this video

Press the blanks in a touch further, once in, remove the center pin so the layers of shrapnel come apart quicker, and add a touch of powder behind each blank to separate from the shards in flight and widen the pattern of impact.

Fake livestreams are whack.

That is actually looks like a typical small electric motor stator. Normally you would see wires wrapped between the sections to make the magnetic field used to create spin.

That's a crazy round! Also, Tyler's shirt is dope as hell.

Thats just scary how good it seems to work. Would hate to be at the receiving end

After the end of the word legends will tell of an ammo bag full of almost magical shells

Imagine the same concept, but instead of the dynamo that splits apart, 3 little chambers that narrow and focus the exhaust so on impact it almost becomes a rocket boosted for deeper pen.

You guys look pretty handy. If you make some composite metal foam armor with basically foamed aluminium with hollow steel spheres mixed in like peanut brittle, you'll have that fancy armor from NCSU that shatters incoming rifle rounds. I wonder how this would do against it.

I cannot believe you guys were brave enough to shoot the jell from that range.

Evan is the kind of guy I want on my apocalypse team, his crazy designs would dominate in madmax world

Wild slug! Love the TPIR showcase music in the middle of this video 😆

I think thats the best compliment to get, when the dudes shooting it say they might jave to make some themselves to shoot

That performed a lot better than expected in a very scary way..

I love the fart noise you added to the gel it had me laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂😂

The ninja stars remind me of caltrops, which makes me think this could be a really clever round for popping tires, even if you miss your mark you throw a bunch of sharp stars near the tyre, possibly puncturing it.

He should add a few segments and twist them over the crimped ends so that the gas release blows them out and around in the target. He could also file notches into the fins so that when they blow out they separate from the main body of the round.

The problem here is that the slug essentially explodes on impact, which is actually not what you want. This would likely cause surface burns on the skin, but doesn't make the round more lethal. Tank shells are set to explode a tiny bit *after* they hit something so that the explosion will occur inside the target, not on the surface (potentially totally absorbed by the armor). Ideally you would want to introduce some kind of delaying mechanism. It also might be worth re-orienting the blanks, as in their current orientation I don't know how much they actually do to spread the laminate. It seems like unless the target is hard, the center pin doesn't break and allow them to disperse, some maybe weakening that pin is in order.

This would be perfect for a zombie apocalypse.

Awesome guys!!

Good to be back here after so long.

I feel like this would work even better with a solid layer at the back to help send the explosion inwards as well as more sideways

That scares me to the core that thing will decimate whatever it hits

Destination is wild to see and the damage it does to bulistik gel, i can only imagine what it'll do to flesh.💀

Interesting. I would’ve been afraid of internal barrel detonation from the blanks, but there you have it

Without the blanks, or it being laminated layers, I am willing to bet it wouldn't have shredded, as it did. Genius. Might be even better with slightly thicker pieces,

that round is awesome! I'd say that with a bit more proofing you could probably have a cool new home defense round for the market

I bought these at my local Wal-Mart! They are free with purchase of 3 claymores

This same design with a slightly smaller diameter along with a sleeve around the stars and ramset blanks would create a pressure vessel upon impact and possibly produced more dramatic effects on the intended target. I'd like to see that

Good video, guys! Thanks!

Should have tried indirect fire like a frag round. See what kind of effect it would have on the gel if you shot something solid above or just to the side of it.

This is an excellent anti-peronelle round, the DOD out to be looking at this, nice job...

For those interested, the core of the slug is actually part of an electric motor, usually covered in tons of thin copper wire.

Another great video

This guy managed to make a double war crime slug. That's an exploding bullet, and I'm pretty sure it can also be classified as a flechette round.

That is a terrifying round.
