The Scariest Shotgun Slug you'll ever see 

Thanks for RATING the video! You guys are awesome!!

How about a slug that stops mid air before hitting it's target, pulling out a smaller shotgun, a d that repeat the process.

I can't afford these so I load my shells with slugs from my garden.

This appears to be the best slug I've seen for home defense. I'd love to see how this performs inside a clear block of ballistic gel.

You know those things that come out of guns? Let's give them claws

scope on a shotgun... this is something we FPS gamers did not expect, as we're led to believe that shotgun projectiles vanish into thin air past 20 feet

Wow, that's some wicked ammo. Not only will it drop big game, but you'll save yourself from having to cut it up in the field, because the bullet will cut into manageable pieces.

Wow, at 2:28 the energy that these transfer to your target is insane!

I couldn't stop laughing when he fingerbanged the gel

Ballistic gel gummy bears? I love it! The slow mo replay showing the devastation was hilarious and disturbing all at once.

Waiting on Lead Erection's first album now.

John wick : Armor improvements Concierge: 12 Gauge Steel slugs armor piercing.

This reminds me of the rescue ranger from Team Fortress 2, the experimental ammo and the fact the guy wanted it on a SCOPED SHOTGUN makes this oddly similar to the rescue ranger

That is a scary round. Center mass, no one could live through a shot from that thing and then some. The initial impact alone is enough to perforate your insides.

Holy hell. That slug is wicked.

I like the old videos just as much as the new cause you forget in time and it is cool to review them thanks .

Defenitely one of my favourites, very similar to the 9mm home defence round indeed.

You need a girl for the _undressing_ shot at 3:26 :) _Cool video als always !_

For a moment it looked like the gummibears actually *IMPLODED* from the impact, the slug may have created a temporary micro-black-hole ;) This slug blows holes in the fabric of space-time ;)

Ripped it a new one eh? lol (3:06)

The nice thing about watching this video is that I never have to worry about seeing a scarier shotgun slug video for the rest of my life since this one is the scariest shotgun slug I'll ever see. So I've got that going for me.... which is nice.

I've used these before on deer and hogs definitely not a good idea, entrance hole is same diameter but the internal damage and exit wounds is massive lots of wasted meat the ones I was given were made out of copper with a steel core originally designed for military and law enforcement use for stopping vehicles great video thanks

That's one amazing slug, bear seemed to enjoy it as much as your finger ;)

That is one sick round. Love it!

Hey fellas! That was a wild round! I was just wondering if you guys have tried some kind of chain link yet? I remember reading that early warships with mussel loading cannons would often use chain link cannon balls to rip down masts and sails. (And cut fleshy things in half.) I've always wondered how 2 decent size balls with a linked chain would go? Worth a shot??? (Excuse the pun) I keep looking at my lathe thinking I need to get around to making something wild for you guys.

if you had an open flame behind the sack of flower you would get a nice fire ball.

3:14 come on bro. Haha Great video man. Always great content. You deserve so much more subscribers.

Could you do these into a block of clear BG? I'd love to see what's going on once it enters. Great video as always.

I'm guessing he says not smooth bore because many if not most come with a modified choke. Steel and chokes dont mix. Another awesome video! Keep up the good work.

It's the Chuck Norris of shotgun ammunition

Ah yes, the bullet that hits like seven bullets.

The "spark" is vaporizing lead. Also the word "Tao", as in the "Tao Te Ching" is pronounced "Dow" with a hard "D" sound. Not sure if you cared but just trying to help out, I'm not really a gun guy but you guys have an awesome channel keep up the good work! 😁

The sound from the rifled choke tube is so incredibly unique. I never realized what it was in your previous videos until I watched this video and didn't hear the particular sound until you took the shot with that choke tube.

With this sort of round I imagine the vest while useful is still not likely to save your life. The sheer amount of kinetic energy that is dumped into the target would likely cause deadly damage to the internal organs.

Could you guys put together a list of the best home defense 12 gauge rounds? It would make a great video.

3:14 Pretty nasty, pretty nasty! (insert butt hole jokes)

That kevlar stopped the slug, but that would be one hell of a punch to be on the receiving end

Looks perfect for standing my ground.

This would be cool in an FBI standard ballistics test, that slug is brutal :D

I really want to see what one of these would do to one of those ballistic torsos from Deadliest Warrior.

My mother helped design the plastic for this slug. She works for PolyOne plastics. I have a few prototypes

You got a good result once with the smooth bore, did you shoot this slug multiple times to make sure it wasn't a fluke?

I love that slow motion shot of the Jelly Bears getting their stuff pushed inside out almost. Good stuff, found you through AvE and love your videos!

i really liked the phonebook/flour target, nice explosion!

one of those moments where I see someone who's taken an idea or concept you've thought of for years and made it real. Now some solid propellant in the back of the slug and an impact detonator! 40k ref!

Because as we all know, Freddy Krueger shot guns...

I just resubscribed; apparently RU-vid didn't like me getting your feed. Your channel is a must watch for us shotgun aficionados.

A center mass shot negates the need for gimmicks, but it’s fun testing them!

I think he was mainly saying not to shoot with a full choke. I can see the end of the barrel coming off with a full choke :)

You know all these guys' home defense shotguns are loaded with rounds like these. Love it

i would call that slug the BEAR CLAW

the thin phonebook and the flour really showcased how this round splinters on contact

Watched this with my parents and my Mom thought you were shooting at a live man holding up a target the first time you shot at your dummy.

do you ever have nightmares about gummy bears coming after you?

Flour bags are a poor man's reactive target. Haha.

A spline shaft of the right diameter and spline count could be cored out almost up to the valleys but with enough metal left to withstand being shot. The core hole could be filled with lead and the nose of the slug could be lathed or ground to a slightly beveled speaker cone like shape. A circumferential cut could be made about 1/4" down from the end and almost down to the valleys to facilitate spreading on impact but enough metal to hold the splines in place while being shot. That would leave a small solid tail ring section behind it that should shred everything behind the lead slug. Several short triangular pieces of spline separating from the slug and splaying outward (shredding your body armor) allows the lead core to get maximum penetration. You should probably never even try to make anything like that though.

Very cool really enjoying your videos so far. Keep up the great work.

3:10 pretty nasty. Pretty nasty.

this is probably the modern day equivalent of a musket ball

Hydrodynamic (moving), not hydrostatic (still) shock.

If u get hit with one of these just call it quits

I can’t imagine the legal headache you would get if you defended your home with one of these. Prosecutors would have a field day.

2:37 wigle wigle wigle xdxdxd

The glass slug is pretty wicked too.

You should have taken more time investigating the smooth bore with these shells cos I've only seen one other round take the best into your dummy... think it was the double mega ball. I'm wondering: what were the comparitive muzzle velocities, did it help that the petals never opened and was it a case of getting a new vest to see if the other one was to blame due to damage? Other than that, your hot steel loads were very penetrating... x

Looks similar to Remington Copper Solids. If you remember those. A saboted boat tail bullet with pedals, machined from a piece of copper. If shot through grass or brush the pedals would deflect them every which way. They grouped ok from a very clean smoothbore. But if I shot a few lead slugs first and got a little leading in the barrel. They flew all over.

They should just called awesome! They have to be one of the best rounds yet, almost as good as the wax birdshot rounds!

Wow! That was amazing! Great video :-)

This is a BAD ASS ROUND. VERY DEADLY COOL.

did...did you finger the hole?

The spark was probably made by those "leaves" colliding against themselves and the center "ball" portion. Far as I know, lead does not produce sparks when struck against an object. Also, the sparks were orange, which is indicative of steel-on-steel contact (steel makes orange sparks, while aluminum makes white sparks by contrast.)

I'm so torn. I really love the engineering behind projectiles like this. However, the critical thinking portion of my brain refuses to see a projectile that intentionally sheds mass as an effective round. I'm sure that this is devastating to soft tissue. What shotgun slug isn't? Nonetheless, I enjoyed the video!

What causes the spark? the velocity (kinetic energy) converting back to heat...Since the target is lead I will presume some part of the projectils is being heated by impact to the flask point of steel.You will often see this when shooting at a steel plate with most centerfire rifles

sparks come from the bullet shredding itself on impact.

Funny to say, "No smooth Bore". Tanks shoot smooth bore and all their smooth bore shots were great...

I have got a few rounds that are just like that, one of my family members works for DHS (Department of Homeland Security). Anyways, what he told me was, in the area they're working in they use different ammo (i can't say why), but i was able to get a few of these new high tech 12ga shotgun rounds, instead of lead or steel these are all copper an look a lot like these ones in the video, they expand upon impact of a soft target. Long story short, they're pretty rare im guessing, i wish i could say more but i don't wanna get anyone in trouble.

Well Taofledermaus, they would make more copper slugs afinal the copper is not hard to work with our actual technology at least

With out question nothing is walking away from it.

That slug would stop a rhino!!

Even if a vest stopped it imagine the damage the impact would do to a person

2:35 Damn Gummy Bear got the moves like Jagar

At 3:15 - 3:16 One guy was stretching and one fingering who was also the one that said " Pretty nasty",..."Pretty nasty" OMG I'm laughing so hard.

A new meaning to "teeth and talons."

In these videos of these specialists always there's tons of info.

First time i've come accross your channel, and i dug your testing brother, ya got another subscriber, Happy Holidays, Mike.

I wish Phantom would smarten up and sponsor this channel. Could you imaging the possibilities?

The Gualbo slug: for when you wanna blow a hole in an intruder large enough to toss a cat through.

Getting hit by any slug would be equally dreadful

I know I'm a little late in seeing this video but, "What the HELL is this thing"? I've just saw the first clip. and had to stop and comment. This thing is insane!! later guys, I have to watch the rest of the video!! Thanks for your GREAT WORK, keep it up!!!

These are some of the more impressive slugs that I've seen that have a unique or different design.

I use Underwood Critical Fracture HP in my Glock 29, basically the same thing but copper and 10mm. Bookmarked the retailer and will order a testing batch, thanks for the review.

that spark was an electrical discharge, metal projectile rubbing its feet on the proverbial rug then touching ground.

This king of slug has been around for several years now. The Hexolit 32...

They were a lot more stable than I expected.

It's a sabot slug. I'm less worried about flechette like pieces of shrapnel and more worried about the massive amount of kinetic energy that round produces.

that weird spark you see when you hit the lead is probably just some molten lead being spewed out. if you've ever hit lead with a hammer a bunh you know that lead gets hot when you hit it. so if you hit it with a peice of steel going 1300 fps you're gonna create some serious heat.

I’m pretty sure it did open up on the Kevlar, it had trapped it in the teeth, the kinetic energy being discharged as into the torso as it stopped must have caused the slug to revert to its original form

OK last one really...thought i had these but xpd1 are the ones with 3 ball bearings in the back...this one would ABSOLUTELY do the trick...shred it!

In Soviet times in the 70-80s I had such bullets, only without a central expander. The petals of a bullet open themselves when they hit the body of an animal. The bullets were brass with slits on the machine. Petals with very sharp opening were obtained.

Fiocchi loads them commercially as N-EX-S slugs - hard to get by too but an option to all that don't want to reload their own slugs.
