Benco-Vitt Aerodynamic Slugs - Never seen before tests

Patrick sent us some very old slugs called "Benco-Vitt Aerodynamic Slugs". We estimate these slugs to be around 50 years old. We are not sure how long these were sold, but it was probably just a few years since we couldn't find any ads, references, etc. of these after 1965. Patrick found a 100 or so of these and had enough to spare so we could show you guys these slugs in action.
We did chronograph a test shot off camera and the velocity was 1410 fps.
Gregg was wearing the "Cool Camp" shirt available at Tru-Spec.

[@earth2950]

Brodu Sullivan Schools Clubs Church Mall What do all these places have in common ?

[@thatguybrody4819]

I really dont want to say but shootings?

[@earth2950]

Brodu Sullivan No earthquake's

[@earth2950]

Brodu Sullivan Why would you immediately Jump to shootings? I'm worried for you. ...

[@thatguybrody4819]

They happened recently and this is a video on shotgun rounds on.a gun channel what do you think i was going to think you ment.

[@GuyFawkes-cv9dc]

Jeff and the guys thanks I look forward to your vids. I’m retired from disability and I love watching you guys do what I can no longer do as often. I wish I could afford to patreon for you guys. I’ll try this year

[@taofledermaus]

Just enjoy the videos!

[@spcpitts]

Thanks for the contribution Patrick. Great video and great shooting og.

[@OGsDangerShow]

Thanks for the great comment, sir. 😎👍

[@spcpitts]

Officer Gregg I would love to see a stack of small ball bearings in races with one heck of a solid nitro card behind it.

[@joelnert]

I'm still waiting for the officer Gregg finger wiggling through recently made holes compilation.

[@Ballista762]

Hahaha

[@meifert2]

Sounds like the plot of a porno

[@deckhoff]

Sounds like exclusive Patreon content...

[@kledus420smith8]

joelnert he like to devirginize the fresh holes

[@baileyzander1830]

They better not be children he's wiggling through

[@Willian_Boa_Tarde]

"Russian balistic gel" 😂 I love your sense of humor! The old box of slugs would be a nice collectible item, even empty.

[@DavidArnold67]

Enjoyed OG talking about how he adjusted his aim. Nice detail-oriented video!

[@GuyFawkes-cv9dc]

I’m gonna start sharing your videos to my Mossberg shockwave group on Facebook we have 750 members and I know they will enjoy your stuff

[@taofledermaus]

There's a lot of Shockwave love at the Shotgun Nation fb group too

[@GuyFawkes-cv9dc]

TAOFLEDERMAUS yeah they are great I’m a member

[@kengamble8595]

Mister OG I know how your shoulder feels after shooting some of these ! In the late sixtys, when I was a punk kid, I found some of my dads and snuck out with them and my single shot 12 gauge. That gun was extra light and already kicked like a mule, but oh crap, with these it was like getting hit by a train ! 😜 I never took any of his shells again ! 😊 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

[@OGsDangerShow]

Thanks Ken Gamble !

[@MrBlack-vg8rv]

that would actually be pretty cool for them to hook up with the slow mo guys and shoot different guns with the camera concentrated on their shoulders to see how crazy it looks,but I feel like somebody might have already done it....just a thought

[@kengamble8595]

DownSouth Ninja Yeah, that would be a good slow mo ! Just don't want it done on me, I done got too old and fragile ! 😊 Maybe someone has done that, I'll have to look!

[@johnnyfewhairs1862]

Great video Jeff I would absolutely LOVE to see you shoot something to do with fishing like hooks, split shot, bullet weights, or something like that, that would be AWSOME

[@hotscoffman111]

Soo many unique tests on this channel...you have better content than most of the bigger "gun youtubers"and deserve every sub you have and alot more

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@joelnert]

Thank you for the *not actual sound disclaimer on them Vienna sassages. I thought it was actual at first!

[@taofledermaus]

You should read some of my comments. A lot of people really thought Gregg had a 3 mile long string in the flare gun video.

[@joelnert]

No joke. I started getting more views on my channel and found it a lot of kids say around stuff! I'm glad you guys have fun with it.

[@LinearNetworking]

Great video, glad Jeff got past his puberty phase with his voice...

[@JesseAndMike]

Awesome that you got to test these! :D

[@taofledermaus]

It was fun! thanks for swinging by!

[@Reckec]

I've always been impressed with the shooting skill on this channel.

[@Zachmman1997]

Officer Greg would be an awesome cop to get pulled over by

[@OGsDangerShow]

Zachary Hatch I’ll tell my customers today that you said that. 😎👍

[@lonewanderer3603]

Zachary Hatch He'll know you're a fan when you show him your Vienna sausage.

[@Zachmman1997]

Officer Gregg sweet! Good luck pulling me over though, I live about as far away from you as a foster slug can travel according to some of the idiots on here😂😂. I live in Maine.

[@RussXnimbusX42]

You need to mark this NSFW! That weenie was shocking. Much love!

[@michaelcoulter1114]

I got an ad! Whoo Hoo! This demonstrates my affection for this channel, as I HATE advertisements!

[@codylaroy1194]

Again guys, that was awesome, funny, educational and well played!

[@JohnDoe-vf2yo]

You guys went back in time?! Great Scott!!

[@taofledermaus]

that's heavy

[@JohnDoe-vf2yo]

TAOFLEDERMAUS "There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?"

[@R32R38]

Produced in a building that now houses a real estate office, a children's computer training program, and until recently a hair salon.

[@taofledermaus]

Interesting!

[@Lunumbrus]

What's really neat to me, is how the assembly screw ended up acting like an accidental steel-core penetrator. Once the lead slug got out of the way, it looks like the screw kept pushing, ending up passing clean through the space that the slug occupied, and sinking into the target plate. Oh damn, we get a second screw-through hit on that turbo unit. Promising. Edit: Commenting as the video plays.

[@malcytull]

What a shot on the airgun spinner, brilliant!!! thanks for posting.

[@bloodyricho1]

Great video guys and thanks Patrick for making it happen

[@lutascheier]

Outstanding episode. So many exciting and funny moments.

[@Stigstigster]

Yes! You used my favourite sound effects on the Vienna snorkers.

[@drstrangefart]

I LOVE these videos. Keep up the awesome work and let's keep OG and Danny busy!

[@ArcturanMegadonkey]

at 9:55 you can see it hit the water after splitting open the sauages..awesome video as always guys

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!!

[@johnanderson186]

The yellow swingers party is where OG debuted as an exotic dancer. He was such a hit, it’s how he payed his way through college.

[@rightleg5920]

You guys do an awesome job! Best of luck in all your shots!

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Great Video, thanks for the history on these. Fun to see.

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@smallenginedude71]

Holy shit your video actually showed up on my KZbin page! I might get a lottery ticket now

[@Richdudevids]

when your slug gets to be old its hard to hit the right spot.,

[@kengamble8595]

richard y. Or even the right hole ? 😜

[@Richdudevids]

hey any hole is a good with a old slug loll

[@MrBlack-vg8rv]

at least it didn't fail before there was any penetration...the slug I mean.

[@kengamble8595]

richard y. Even a wrinkle ! 😊

[@KirkHermary]

Yet another excellent video! Our favoritest cop is a damn great shot, especially considering the inaccurate slugs.

[@OGsDangerShow]

Thanks Kirk!

[@un2mensch]

Hi Jeff, your English is coming along nicely. Good work!

[@ilfarmboy]

I have used brenneke slugs for years when they first came out from West Germany and were low brass and 1 oz, A friend of the family who deer hunted with us introduced my dad and I to them,he was sporting good salesman. He used them in his Remington 1100 with a 30" full choke smooth-bore,which was told to him that the Germans used that similar setup he wound up shooting a feral cat dead at 125 yards without a problem. I used the same slug (came in a 10 pack from West Germany still got an unopened pack for a 20 ga.) until they were made in the US and were high brass and 1 1/8oz slug magnum. The newer slug came in a pack of 5 and I swear at about 100 yards out with a slug barrel had no noticeable drop or drift. I had very good luck with them and swear by them.

[@Gvideoscom]

Old school style! That tumble weed @ 14:54 fit the clip!

[@earth2950]

RandomFlatShowsvideos Omg those aren't only in movie's😐 I'm Canadian I've never seen them. But it's kinda small compared to the movie's

[@pmmartinpmjm]

They're everywhere where I live. I'm in the high desert in California.

[@LarryC213]

Carnage, I felt the same way when I drove to Arizona and I actually saw a real honest to goodness Road Runner. I had no idea that road runners were real. I just thought that the road runner was some made-up, cute cartoon character. I grew up on the East coast in North Carolina.

[@earth2950]

LarryC213 Can you imagine if a cayotee chance it. I'd lose my shit

[@kengamble8595]

LarryC213 I'm in southern Arizona and they are not as plentiful as they once were, but they are still around. I think too many got hit by vehicles ! I've had a number of them get tame enough that I could feed them hamburger from my hand ! Seen some fighting rattlesnakes......... and win !

[@kencurtis508]

Great video, thanks.

[@PacificAirwave144]

Love OG and the banter between you two. A recent favorite: 'If you don't have a hole in your flagpole.....see your doctor' :-)

[@CommodoreFan64]

Interesting slug, I would love to see a modern version of this. As always awesome video.

[@africanairgunner4427]

Excellent as always ! Very entertaining.

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@jamesgant88]

Why are people thumbing down this video? These are awesome!

[@taofledermaus]

It's all audience engagement!

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

Very generous Jeff - "we'll consider that a hit", probably because it was a hit. 😉 Both of you on top form today - lots of laughs, good shooting from OG, considering it was 50year old ammunition, and top production values from Jeff.

[@OGsDangerShow]

Cheers Ian! 😎👍

[@Markus__B]

1:52 Nothing beats a well engineered Beaver :-)

[@danjf1]

Nice to see vintage slugs!

[@robertspray7472]

“FDIC insured”. Good one Greg.

[@robotslug]

Came for the lead plate, was not Dissapointed. Love the vid.

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!!

[@roblee1066]

Both OG and Danny do some good shooting. We appreciate them.

[@drongojonkins8945]

When you guys say Aluminium I feel pure comfort.

[@OGsDangerShow]

drongo jonkins It’s the only reason we’re here.

[@mre.w.2850]

The OG and jeff Legends of scientific shotgun rounds, superb video as allways guys 😎😎

[@460EFI]

Yes, turbos are tough. Name brands, like that Holset HX35 you have there, are specifically designed to contain the pieces of compressor and turbine, in the event of a catastrophic failure, very similarly to the housing of a jet engine, because they spin at speeds up to 200,000 RPM.

[@taofledermaus]

You should see the blades, something got ingested

[@460EFI]

TAOFLEDERMAUS I saw a glimpse of it. Looked like something broke the turbine shaft and the compressor destroyed itself inside the housing. I had one do that from a boost leak and the constant over speeding finally wiped it out.

[@treyyergin]

glad to see another video

[@kenhelmers2603]

LOL What's the diff between being screwed and being nailed? Very cool guys!

[@wayneclarke4846]

Another great video guys, those slugs are older than me.....love from the uk 🇬🇧

[@yebvas]

OMW You ruined that already ruined beautiful Turbo... LOVED IT!!!

[@alexander-it6mx]

Nice video! That slug is super old!

[@Ecosse57]

You guys have the best sense of humor. Or as they say in England, humour.

[@taofledermaus]

I say!

[@OGsDangerShow]

Ecosse57, as they say in England, Thanks! 😎👍

[@andh1978]

Apparently, in Austria Vienna sausages are known as Frankfurt sausages or Frankfurter.

[@dellawrence4323]

I now have "Yellow Swinger Party" in my search history.....thanks for that.

[@stevenkenneyjr7799]

Another fantastic video guys... Jeff, had an idea for a great video. How about we get a Danny vs OG video? A friendly shooting competition and use it to raise money for a charity.

[@RoodmanDJ]

The OG with some history for our faces!

[@corwinhyatt519]

Fist vs Balloon. I love that reference. :) Velocity, crossectional density, elasticity and inertia... That same punch thrown at a balloon with a long sewing needle gripped between the middle knuckles would pop it.

[@ZombieHuntersInt]

I found a couple of these in the bottom of a box of loose 12GA. Pretty neat to actually see them shot.

[@TactaGhoul]

I googled "Yellow Swinger Party". I will never be the same again... Dang it OG!

[@10223220]

Meat slug what a great name for a band very funny stuff....can I use the name for my band👍

[@MarkSmith-to7xi]

Well done to greg for his correct pronunciation of aluminium, it sounds like he was trying really hard to get it right lol

[@Dsdcain]

That was a great video. Thanks to *OG* for taking more shoulder abuse. Thanks for the video.

[@OGsDangerShow]

Dsdcain It’s the cross I bear, sir! 😎👍

[@kengamble8595]

Officer Gregg Yeah, a black and blue one, a bruise ! 😊

[@josephburchanowski4636]

I don't remember whether you modified a slug this way before, but what about shooting some generic slugs like a foster slug, with a screw screwed through the back. I wonder if the screws getting stuck in the lead block would be consistent.

[@wpherigo1]

BFH? Must be a technical term. Great job as always!

[@rustyshacklfort9508]

That's a threaded carpentry nail OG

[@petergriffin8934]

I have a great idea for a Very deadly Slug.... (only Metal and plastic) If i send it in to you guys, will you test it ?...And what's the Adress ? And what Messurements should the slug have? In MM's if possible, thank you.

[@michaelcoulter1114]

Peter Griffin Yeah, let me guess - the slug is plastic, and the wadding is metal, right? Nope.

[@petergriffin8934]

Michael Coulter ...Nope, but that is a fun idea.

[@richardcarden4161]

Duplex makes them.

[@truemisto]

the screw turned out to be an interesting penetrating feature of the slug. people who send you their custom built slugs should take note

[@locouk]

Seeing the slugs splash in the pond all those miles away! I bet the fish in there are crapping themselves when they see you and OG coming.

[@taofledermaus]

lol

[@edgeman83]

Man, OG really needs to start aiming on those shots. Some of them are way off!

[@BigIggy]

"You're touching lead and not wearing gloves, RRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!" lol great vid guys.

[@taofledermaus]

how did humanity survive this long touching lead? lol

[@BigIggy]

TAOFLEDERMAUS well to start the earth is flat and high thetan levels help, also animal magnetism.

[@pitecusH]

"Oh, that should be no problem, hitting that with a slug that's not accurate." OG is the best, guys, I'm tellin' ya.

[@poppabloodvessel7072]

Please try and fire a slug into the opening of the turbo. That would be pretty bad ass. Nice video guys

[@Gottaculat]

11:36, the duck swimming on the water is like, "Da fuq was dat?!?!?!"

[@jakecreech1659]

13:00 People are silly to think that will make a difference haha! Great video as always!!!!

[@crankygunreviews]

You have to put a tarp down to catch the sausages. LOL

[@N5KDA]

I'm sure glad you put "not actual sound" on there. I thought the can sounded like a plane about to crash. Seriously, do people ask questions like "was that the real sound"? Never mind, since you took the time to add that I guess some do.

[@taofledermaus]

There are a LOT of Sheldon Coopers out there

[@N5KDA]

Hahaha... I had to look that name up. I don't watch that crap, Been a LEO for 28 years, and I know there are air heads out there. One that might believe something like that sound should be allowed to look at guns. Thanks for the funny videos.

[@keithbrown2458]

OK guys I’ve seen most of your stuff but I must’ve missed you shooting a Vienna sausage out of a 12 gauge frozen or not, I guess it’s true you’ll shoot anything... That is a neat old slug

[@PsychoticBovine]

Always glad to see the O.G.!

[@OGsDangerShow]

PsychoticBovine thanks! 😎👍

[@jamesdewey3259]

OG you always crack me up. With ? Ammo you did a good job.

[@OGsDangerShow]

James Dewey Thanks James! 😎👍

[@DirtyRobot]

I hope you kept a few slugs to make a mold to you can cast some in the future.

[@toothdecay2465]

Love the Judas Priest reference.

[@mayhem1331993]

turbo lover is my favorite song

[@richardcarden4161]

British Steel.

[@StPaul76]

Could you boys do a similar test like with a .50cal magnum sabot slug..? And comparison between a rifled and smoothbore since those are mostly made for the rifled bore. Thanks for the entertaining video once again!

[@ShortbusMooner]

That was interesting! Thank you!

[@mrbadx19]

i live in a condo and have neighbors, can't really go beyond 9mm without ruining someone else's day with over penetration. but it's fun to watch!

[@jerrycampbell9376]

The dancing "jelly blocks" are back! Whee!!!!!

[@Shad0wBoxxer]

Of course we can blame Officer Greg! He was overcompensating for the wind!

[@Shad0wBoxxer]

Need one of those spoon on a stick windometers

[@deltadragon2335]

Awesome video as always

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@deltadragon2335]

TAOFLEDERMAUS no prob you have given me years of entertainment

[@deltadragon2335]

You guys should do a weird shotgun slug giveaway

[@MPWells-mb4po]

That duck in the background was like " fuck this I'm out"

[@BertPaulson]

It would be awesome if someone cast a batch of these

[@Mr.Unacceptable]

Can you do a video on how they used to load these shells with paper? Would they be safe to shoot today? You do have an unusual way of feeding the gulls.

[@taofledermaus]

not sure where I'd get paper hulls

[@mealex303]

Jeff if you shot a large but short screw with a sabot round it would the rifling spin it in right direction for the screw to screw into objects? Speed twist force and greg og= awesomeness? Lets find out!!

[@taofledermaus]

sounds tricky!

[@mealex303]

TAOFLEDERMAUS or maybe a lagbolt something with bigger coil on it so you need less spin for it to turn enough for it to actually set the shaft?

[@kc8wzm]

Ya know OG.. you could come up with a cover band call the "Old Slugs!"

[@OGsDangerShow]

John Kraemer, that wouldn’t be a bad idea! 😎👍

[@TheWizardofWax]

That VW engine looked like an Aztec head on the second shot.......are you testing ancient alien tech for "The Man"?! Also being British, I had problems sleeping over the mistake with the screw. Tsk lol ;)

[@MrS22222]

So glad someone else noticed that, lol.

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

I saw that too 😄 I was thinking 'Easter Island'.

[@DeanMk1]

Looked up the address (719 State St. E Westport Cn), as seen on the box the slugs came in, on Google Maps. The building looks like it was designed and built in the late 50's/early 60's, so its probably still the same, but is now the home of 3 businesses - Effi's Salon (which may no longer be there as of this post), Vidal Wettenstein LLC, a property sales management co. and something called "CompuChild".

[@RyzawaVT]

I feel bad for that table, when you shot the gel blocks the darn table waved like the ocean.

[@kentonmiles]

Didn't know people collected old ammo. We shot a bunch of rounds from the 40s we found in an ammo depot. 30carbine 3006 12ga 45lc but we were kids in 92
