Could You Survive these INSANE Shotgun Rounds?? - Ballistic High-Speed

Bryce & Adam test out some interesting custom shotgun rounds.
Flechettes, BOLO, and DOOM DOOM DOOM.

[@IanWilsonDreamingForGamers]

The Flechettes exiting the torso was pretty epic. The Bolo and Doom rounds were destructively interesting. Note to self: Don't get shot by any of these.

For some reason it's the flechettes, even though the bolo clearly obliterated all life, there's something about multiple exit woulds destroying both one's ability to stand *and* will to live that makes it a winner.

[@superfluous9726]

Yeah, dozens of different wounds that all curve in different angles and a bunch straight through. You're not going to survive that but you can be sure it's a painful death.

[@ivanrorick]

@@superfluous9726 Yeah exactly. You'd die but it would take forever. The other two would be lights out pretty quick due to the rapid blood loss (the blood vomiting out from the bolo was just a condom filled with fake blood that ran out fast, in real life there'd be over a gallon of blood that would keep gushing as long as the heart pumped).

[@RCT21985]

I think the flechettes are the most terrifying because there's a possibility that you will either live through it and just be maimed permanently, or that you'll die slowly.

[@Actually_nobody_ever]

Now imagine an artiillery strike that is literally just 2000 flechettes per artillery piece. This is why they were called the beehive

[@Walker_96365]

@@Actually_nobody_everThe shells actually had around 8000 darts and would kill or maim infantry in a 300 meter wide, 100 meter long cone. Also, each dart was designed to break apart on impact, causing two wound channels per dart.

@@Walker_96365 even better

[@OUTERGALACTICFROGGY]

A few friends of mine and I purchased some of them and cut it open some of them were stuck to each other on the outside but the center ones are loose so they flew straight. Definitely some killer rounds! Their rubber Buckys are some funny rounds filled with tiny rubber ducks.😂

[@patrick-ne1um]

The darts are meant to be a long range round not up close to the darts. Can flip around stabilizer and then penitrate

[@rigrmortis3393]

As a nerd I really like those flechettes. I was also a little surprised at first when you thought none had made it through the torso. After seeing another channel shoot iirc lvl 3 kevlar and having them make it through that I was expecting over penetration from them. I really enjoy your high speed for that reason as it not only cleared that up but also gave us a clear path for the doom³ round.

[@arteficialwings]

KentuckyB. had those Flechettes as well and in my eyes they need a dedicated Video. I would guess some of those can make it through at least 2 torsos. I would also like to see them in clear ballistic Gelatine.

Certified 🤓 moment

[@paradoxical-gr7145]

Absolutely awesome video! One thing I will say is that it looks like some of these rounds really needed more room to spread out a bit more and really show off their unique characteristics. At too close of a range, all of them will act like a chunk of metal, at least for the initial impact and first couple inches, but thats the part we see best

[@tellitlikeitis1828]

Agreed. If they increase distance incrementally until we find out if the Bolo will spread.

[@humpadumpathump5918]

Look into some of the shells from Ballistic Machinist. Taofledermaus and Scott have both played with them, Tao helping with developmental testing, but having some very clear high-speed footage on a Ballistic Dummy Labs' analogue would be really interesting.

[@simselmore5625]

Great video! Really interesting to see all of these 'special ammunition' and their simulated effects on the human body. As an EMT, I've seen many of shotgun wounds and I can tell you that this is quite tame in terms of graphics compared to the real thing. As a side note I think chalking the ball-and-chain wound to laceration is a bit of and understatement. Much more like a penetrating trauma wound

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

Can't believe I've never seen this channel before. Good testing, amazing footage. Much appreciated.

I hope y’all gain more popularity with your channel . Ik how expensive those super slo mo phantom cameras and ballistic dummies can get and yalls channel in general is just amazing and deserves 50mil not 50k

[@Trepanation21]

What distance from the target were you shooting at? Regarding shotguns, I was thinking there ought to be some more standoff from the target so as to better showcase some of the in-flight separation for the ammunition types (I think the bolo shells would have benefited the most from the extra standoff). Interesting!

[@ivanrorick]

I thought the same thing. They should be further away so all the fun stuff can spread out! Especially the doom doom doom I think would have benefited.

[@widgren87]

I would honestly be interested to see you guys do a video with Scott from Kentucky Ballistics and his collection of Elephant guns and generally large caliber weapons of various targets, many of which I am sure he could recommend, but still seeing your level of high-speed footage on say a 10 Gauge shell or a .700 Nitro Express and a Ballistic Dummy? That would be interesting, and gruesome ;-)

So glad I found this channel! Been hoping Slow mo guys would branch into ballistic dummies, since they’ve been doing more firearm stuff, but I think it’s a bit grim for their more kid oriented content lol. I’d love to see more ballistic dummies. I know a lot of guys have tested a lot, but it’s honestly worth seeing another take on some of it, or the same take with actual high speed shots.

[@karmagaming8351]

Really cool to see those rounds in action, ive heard of the fleschettes on Escape from tarkov but never really know how it works or what it shot, very cool to see they are darts

[@bm2618]

Love the clarity of this high speed footage. Great work!

[@BallisticHighSpeed]

Thanks so much! We take a lot of pride in that.

[@megan00b8]

I think the doom rounds would need like a cone shaped wad with easy to break off edges so that it gives the smaller shot a little push to disperse it. The bolo could use an irregular one that could maybe start a spin before it separates.

[@SnackPack913]

Really cool. Having seen the high speed now I wish you guys were back a little further to give the bolo a chance to open up and extend. Also the flachettes might eventually start flying straight once their fins stabilize

[@arteficialwings]

Was my thought as well, the bolos just need a few meters of unequal air resistance to separate.

[@aaftiyoDkcdicurak]

I've seen the bolo rounds break their cable in mid flight. Sadly they don't perform as you would expect them to.

[@shaneh7129]

@@aaftiyoDkcdicurak yeah I've seen the same.... even when the cable doesn't break like they said there is nothing to generate a spin, they just kind of fly next to each other.

[@zfodge1]

Co in the early 70's we made home made bolo rounds with lead fishing weights and piano wire. We used them for feral dogs, coyotes and any other predators after our livestock. But we also used them for cutting trees down with a base stump about 2 feet across or smaller. 3 to rounds for the 2 footers and a come along to insure they fell where we wanted them too. They tore up the feral dog's and coyotes. We lived off grid and those dogs attached people also.

[@jamesclark6420]

Many years ago I talked to some Vietnam veterans who had used the military 12 Gauge flechette rounds in combat. According to them they were extremely effective. Those were loaded in all brass cases. I don't know what exactly was in them or how much similarity there is with this flechette ammunition, but that was the report. So apparently they can work very well.

[@dogwater5499]

How did he describe their effectiveness? Cause I'd imagine flechette rounds aren't as effective as buckshot.

[@Jermain-cz4bh]

@@dogwater5499 they seem to pierce so I'd guess there was more damage done internally, not to mention anyone behind the victim would probably also get impaled by the arrows

[@Scuffed_Gambit]

Insurgency: Sandstorm has Flechette rounds and they're really fun to use with the KSG-12

[@GoingBallistic]

That was insane. Great job once again.

[@mikesuch9021]

I want to see the old PMC core sample cartridges come back. It's basically a soft pointed copper jacket with no lead. With a plug on the back that falls free during flight. I still have a box of the 38 special. 1,800 ft per second out of a 6-in barrel. I never pulled one apart to weigh the projectile but without the plug it can't weigh more than 10-12 grains. They were supposedly taken off the market because they make a permanent wound channel instead of ripping meat out of the way that can be sewn back together. Another round from the '80s is Black talon. They are so uniform sharp and jagged. Surgeons were cutting their fingers open without realizing it feeling around for the projectile. The black talents were made by Winchester.

[@lancewalker429]

Oh my God! That was the most impressive flechette round I have ever seen! Well worth a subscription for that. Quickly (or slowly, whatevers clever) becoming one of my favorite KZbinrs.

[@libertarian1637]

Flechette rounds are an excellent round to carry for soft body armor penetration. When we pulled some NIJ 101.4 level 3A vests we took them to the range and shot them with a lot and the flechette rounds were the only ones to penetrate them, among basic LE available options. The patrol rifles cleanly go through 3A vests so we didn’t even bother using them.

[@riserevelation8471]

It'd be great if you got someone with medical expertise to actually talk us through what the body is going through as we watch the slow mo. Don't know how you guys can do that but if you can that'd be great.

[@ZOMBIEHEADSHOTKILLER]

Out of all the gun channels, none have ever shown successful Flechette rounds. They always seam to be keyholed.

[@eon2330]

I feel like each round needs its own body to truly test. Also the bolo round seemed like a solid slug instead of a bolo. The doom round was unfairly abused for going last and it might do better from a few more feet away. However, this is the most awesome ballistic test channel.

[@RoboPutinPresidentinCE]

I really enjoy the slow motion and the voice-over of the footage, basically getting your true first reaction along crisp nice footage. The production quality is insane, hope you guys stay friends and manage to get big. If you keep it up you will definitely manage to become successful , you guys are memorable and the quality is hardly comparable even to very big Names out there. And your content bridges a gap between impressive editing, Gun tubers and slowmo channels.

[@mikesuch9021]

One of the more recent military uses for fleshette darts is to drop them from aircraft 100,000 at a time. Dropped from altitude over 200 mph they come in at a angle and we'll put a hole in every square foot of a football field. And since there's no report or explosion troops on the other side of the Hill. Their comrades on the other side of the Hill will not be alerted that a whole platoon was just taken out.

[@richardstafford4259]

Definitely like the use of the ballistic dummy to illustrate the kinetic energy of a round hitting the body. The flechette round was very interesting, but the bolo round was destructive.

[@nurichbinreel4782]

The flechette rounds are terrifying. A shot into the gut with that is survivable but you 99% have punctured intestines, which means you just get to die 3 days later of a massive infection

[@ivanrorick]

The other two would cause loss of consciousness in seconds due to massive blood loss. The flechettes you could be awake while dying slowly for hours or even days.

[@jonp8015]

With each of these unusual shells, I see things that could be improved about them that I never would have thought of without seeing them in high speed. The flechettes needed a hard 'coin' between the darts and the wadding to keep them from getting tangled. The BOLO rounds need some kind of wadding between the two balls, to keep them from becoming a solid lead sandwich with wire inside. The Doom Doom Doom rounds need a hollow point slug at the front to slow down in the target and deflect the buck and birdshot outward.

[@fireandcopper]

High velocity (supersonic or near) projectiles cause puncture wounds, but a more complicated dimension compared to knife wounds is the cavitation, tissue expands because of the impact and slams back in on itself, causing way more damage than just poking someone with a bullet on a stick

[@VictoryLlama]

In terms of sheer rip, tear, and bleed-ness I'd say the Doom,Doom,Doom rounds were the best. It literally ripped his bones and lungs, and just destroyed him. But I'd say practically, flechettes cause most pain, and have highest chance of killing. Also they are harder to treat, since you have a bunch of darts everywhere in your body. They stay and cause problems later (obviously since there are a bunch of darts in your body). All of them were simply mind-blowing though (quite literally mind-blowing) and i loved the high speed footage. Keep up the good work! Edit: The Geneva convention is merely the Geneva suggestion for these guys Maybe you could try incendiary rounds against a torso next time?

[@eon2330]

To cause the bolo to actually spin. Make one a big dense steel, the second a copper small ball, and make the line between them significantly thicker and a very sturdy metal material (or some kind of VERY strong rope). This will cause a difference in speed and weight between them causing one to pull the other, and cause its own kind of rotation. Maybe make one a .28 inch copper ball, and the other .5 of steel ? make a bolo kind of deal.

[@louisv54]

awesome video again! i would only suggest maybe stand further back from the target so the projectiles have more distance to spread out instead of being clustered together.
