12ga Shotgun FRAGMENTING shotgun DARTS from Russia

Alexey from Russia sent us some shotgun darts that are designed to fragment inside the target. In many ways these are quite similar in execution as the R.I.P. slugs that we recently tested. Rather than have an effectiveness of 10 yards, these could actually be used for hunting. We were able to compare the frag slugs with a non-frag design to show the differences in penetration and internal damage.
Alexey's channel- lots of 3D ballistic simulations!:

I discovered this Russian YT metal-detecting channel that is very interesting. Really nice bunch of guys that dig up WW2 battle sites. It is fascinating to watch their LIVE digs!

[@philverhey7335]

OpenFOAM & SimFlow are good (free) tools for this, briefly looking at the video, it looked like an old copy of flowsquare. in the past, I tweeted (to the Taofledermaus twitter account)a service that holds your hand (for amateurs) that a colleague mentioned his son started using in university... it escapes me atm... but I thought it would be ideal fans of this channel who want to try designing some things. EDIT: it was "SimScale" , link to tweet (jun 19) here: twitter.com/philverhey/status/876879794012663809 It's good to see some people taking this approach. there are options, I believe the youtube channel "Real Engineering" mentions an online service that offers free fluid dynamics software in one or more of his recent aircraft design videos.

[@JonasUllenius]

TAOFLEDERMAUS Hope it is okay to post a idea ore contribution that can help the videos. Contact shotgun companies and ask them if they have sponsored videos like this whit there guns. Maybe a ballistics gelatin company that can have there name on a backboard. All you need to do is say there name in the videos. Maybe the store that sell the melons want there name in the video. Hope to see more interesting videos.

[@comNartheus]

hoot red Soviet Scientist (TM) XD

[@windhelmguard5295]

well he has a phd and does this as a hobby, meaning that he is so good that he is beyond working for ammo manufacturers.

[@crwydryny]

the difference is that mass produced slugs are just that mass produced, they have to make allowances for ease of manufacture and such (there are something a big old machine can't do that a human can using hand tools) to make something like this would require extra manufacturing steps (not impossible just expensive) which wouldn't be a good idea for a big company. a single guy in a shed working with hand tools to make a handful of slugs can take more time and work more intricate designs because he doesn't have to worry about time and profit margins also it's easier to quality check a dozen rounds compared to a few thousand where only 1% of them may be checked for defects in any given day

[@thugasaurusrex6004]

hoot red I mean, these would be pretty expensive to produce, which is most likely why they aren't exactly mass produced. Also, the guy has a PhD in a field that constantly comes into contact with physics, so I'm sure he can do some math and figure out a good shape for something

[@nebiros_at9473]

His reply above (at least running it through a translator) noted that he just simplified the creation of an older design by Vladimir Shiryaev. Definitely a neat slug, though I'd see it more as something you'd see for military or maybe stopping something big though, with that over penetration we were seeing in the video.

[@scottsmith1806]

Yeah, I was thinkin' the same thing, I don't wanna get hit by the slug, but if it missed me, I don't wanna get hit by that follower. YEEESH!

[@windhelmguard5295]

it's like shot almost, the spread covered by that dart, the follower and geting hit by that watting might not be a pleasent experience either.

[@TheGoodChap]

Well Kalashnikov was originally just a farm equipment engineer who designed the AK-47 and variants. Of course I'm sure a lot of engineers who make weapons get started out in other fields lol but these are definitely cool rounds, better than I expected considering how difficult it is to make rounds that stay on target.

[@windhelmguard5295]

mechanical scales are still mroe acurate than almost all electronic scales. we have one at work that can measure more than a metric ton with a tolerance within a hundred gramms (and adding just one more part would probably make it measure down to the gram if necessary). our new electronic scale has a tolerance of eight kilograms (that's more than sixteen pounds) we use the electronic one still because the mechanical one just takes too long to handle the ammounts we process but it's realyl amazing how technologies that are thousands of years old still outperform the new stuff just in sheer precision, not to mention production quality.

In USSR any rifled weapon was banned for civilans. So people have to hunt with smoothbore. Thus we have great experience and great variety of shotgun slugs. In fact, this dart was initially designed by Dmitry Shiryaev to provide rifle accuracy for smoothbore shotgun.

[@clouster75]

Харитон Круглов Not quite correct. My grand dad used to hunt with Mosin (KO-44) rifle, and rifled hunting rifles were generally available as well - TOZ-16/17/18 for example. The thing is that using shotguns were way cheaper, and thats actual reason why they are more popular.

Those solid darts with a hot load looked they could go through a pistol rated vest quiet easily. Thanks for the vid as always.
