Blondeau Shotgun Slugs - Another WEIRD French slug!

[@AntiFreak321]

How about a series called something like "Dollar Slugs" Where u fire things that cost exactly 1 Dollar. There are so many 1$ things that look perfect for shot.

[@liljohnp132]

Good Idea, Dollar store projectiles!

[@wreck_ignition7847]

Make sure to shop at The Dollar Tree and ask an employee how much something is before you put it in your cart every time.

[@doorguner01]

Joe Clark ha ha my neighbors friend does exactly that! 😂😂

[@T3hderk87]

That has literally been the focus of this channel besides the things that people send in to ruin Jeff's bore...

[@DecemberLoved]

Love hearing the little bits about the history of it! Thanks for going through the extra work.

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@Sickofsociety1]

Jeff, you should do your Jeorg Sprav impersonation. " Let me show you it's features!"

[@taofledermaus]

I use that every so often.

[@noone42069]

Ballistic jelly!

[@gawni1612]

Lol I actually remember that

[@harrybarabash4716]

Ohh no no noo.. dont encourage him ya fool.. he is so terribly awful.. put him on stage at the Apollo Theater n he has zero chance n he would get BOOed off the stage so fast that i would probably end up feeling bad for him hahahahaa

[@neumy1944]

DAVID the French guy is awesome! Thanks for sending all of the great slugs we get to see in action!

[@taofledermaus]

I agree, it has been fun shooting all the stuff he sent.

[@upsweet07]

thanks michael, i have a second mail for jeff, with new slugs and a bunch of sauvestre classic and lead free, also one from latvia and one from czezk rep, stay tune !

[@neumy1944]

upsweet07 Sounds great, I'll be looking for them in the vids!

[@anter176]

is it just me or is there a lot of snake oil going around in the shotgun slug market?

[@cracker0190]

anter176 When you can just melt lead and make your own

[@dot680]

Thats because theyre shotgun slugs. Anything shot out of a shotgun i do not want to catch. It is man down for certain.

[@gawni1612]

1984 dude what?

[@joespawldin7833]

Snake oil is great lol.supposed to keep the barral from fouling and lets you shoot around corners.

[@joespawldin7833]

Serious note yes there is alot of gimiky things out.just like any other industry.thankfully jeff is here to debunk alot of it.i dont think he knows how much of a key role he really plays.he not only shows if it wont work or will, but also show exactly how and why.that slomo cam is a valuble assesment tool.

[@upsweet07]

thank you again jeff, thanks gregg too, you are "tres marrant", and thanks to othais who found lots of good info

[@taofledermaus]

Thanks David! We just have the French Brennekes to do now.

[@PikeyScott]

Excited to see the Brennekes. Their 1 1/4 oz slug is the shell of choice for Brown/Grizzly bear protection in Alaska.

[@OGsDangerShow]

Merci David! 🇫🇷

[@taofledermaus]

I think the are 1 oz. The odd thing is they are made in France and differ a bit from the German-made ones. I don't know why they make them in France instead of importing from Germany.

[@UnDeaDCyBorg]

Probably preferences, or different standards, or.... it sounds silly, but europe is still a bunch of different nations, with people sometimes having vastly different preferences if your 1km walk just happens to carry you over a border. No idea on this one, though.

[@T3hderk87]

man! taofledermous is like my nexus for new and completely different channels to watch, first AvE now Dutchsinse!

[@taofledermaus]

thanks Derek!

[@mattdickson2]

thanks for giving C&Rsenal a shout out

[@jetstreamer3]

I liked the extra bit of history in this one.

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@upsweet07]

ho ya, i couldn't found as many in france !!, Othais is very good !

[@bonethief746]

I swear if someone looks up if hard drives existed in the 1940's I might skin a cat.

[@taofledermaus]

haha

[@adamcochran1309]

Heh, They did have computers the "hard drive" was as big as a deuce an a half.

[@jerrycanne6981]

nathan lawrence trivia IBM sold a computer that read punch cards to the Nazis. The British at Bletchley Park broke the enigma code with a computer.

[@T3hderk87]

Jerry Canne Emphasis on "mechanical" for those computers. they did not store data per say...

[@brk932]

It was sort of believable until I heard "trans-flux capacitor" First hard drive required forklift to carry it in 1954. Hard drives have never been produced in Germany.

[@mattv2099]

mad scientifical historians

[@djshnibz]

German Jet skiing excursions? Lmao, these videos always get me.

[@ElijahJenkins2196]

Dave looks like my neighbor. And I'm from southeastern Kentucky

[@TheKentuckyPatriot]

I look forward to having a notification that you guys have a new video! I love the rounds you use and the targets you shoot. The sarcasm is great too! I have said this before but I love this channel!

[@taofledermaus]

thank you very much!!

[@Vid_Master]

Wow! I didnt expect a dutchsinse crossover with your channel LOL! Great video as always, very interesting projectiles

[@famillemoebstremaudu4175]

You wrote "Gendarmé" instead of "Gendarme" Love from France ;-)

[@rockstaraz6576]

David was using the "French Sabotage Force" to make Officer Greg swing off to the Left a little bit ,Damm Frenchie trying to make Officer Greg shoot 🐦 Birds & Stuff ! French Resistance Sabotage Slug is a very good Slug to Shoot ! TAOFLEDERMAUS, Officer Greg & David gratitude​ for the Great Show ! Thank You ✌

[@upsweet07]

thank you rockstar

[@materiaparticulata]

Oh boy, we (my entire family) are missing your old type of videos... We we really glad to see Danny back in your newest Clip. Best wishes from Germany to the TFM Crew

[@Phil11390]

These remind me of chess pieces... maybe shoot some chess pieces?

[@moonliteX]

metallic chess pieces. or any that stay (mostly) together (vs turning into literal dust). also shoot dust.( like lead powder or cement or something else heavy.)

[@TheOlsonOutfit]

C&Rsenal is a wealth of knowledge.

[@taofledermaus]

The amount of research he does is crazy

[@upsweet07]

yep, pretty good, i didn't know this slug came from ww2

[@pauladams1814]

Same shape but made out of tungsten might be an interesting round.

[@louisanderson8806]

Really like the clear shells that you use in your vids! Would be nice to see them in more videos!

[@taofledermaus]

I bought 100 of the orange and 100 clear so I am trying both to see how they go.

[@Cork-]

Well I'm a shotgun slug now

[@taofledermaus]

haha

[@kasnitch]

German hard drives can fly !! Greg is gold on film.

[@Dsdcain]

That Flitecontrol wadding is pretty cool. Buffalo's Outdoors channel did a fairly decent review of it comparing regular to Flitecontrol over different ranges. Ever since you got the high speed camera I've really enjoyed watching the way the ballistic gummy bear reacts to being shot, the ears stretching way out, and just the whole jiggling ballistic bear "dance" if you will. Love all your vids and have been subbed for a very long time, and you keep getting better.

[@taofledermaus]

I really like Buffalo's videos. We tested the flitecontrols too a while back against normal buffered 00 buck and there was a huge difference in patterning.

[@OGsDangerShow]

Watch Jeff's TFM video on the Flitecontrol. Impressive round.

[@TheBudny]

Science, history and humor. We get it all here. Cool vid!

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@obese1konobe]

The airgun pellet design shaped slugs certainly seem to be most stable profiles. Also as I live on a major and active fault line, I'll be quite interested in the dutchsinse site.

[@EdwinSarkissian]

Congrats on 850💥🍕🦄🦉

[@uncledon1081]

You do realize that per the patent application at 1:46 you loaded the slug backwards, right? That might have had an effect.

[@bobperu1]

i love dutchsinse he is great to watch.

[@RebelForce8]

According to the finnish text at 1:31 the bullet loses stabilization when it goes subsonic. Being supersonic the rear weight stabilizes by form and not by weight. This creates improved accuracy.

[@rlbadger1698]

The same 1/2 million people ,Forgotten Weapons, The Great War, The Flakey Moose, but C&Rsenal falls behind. Thanks for the shout out (again) for May.

[@taofledermaus]

I like Othais because he doesn't have a man-bun

[@immikeurnot]

I love the Flite Control buckshot.

[@jason-ge5nr]

I look forward the the antics of you and greg

[@taofledermaus]

haha thanks!

[@roadsideprophet2012]

something that complicates choosing the right powder even more is the fact that manufacturers have access to a lot of different powders that home Reloaders cannot have

[@Zerethon]

Idea i had, a silly putty "Wax slug" - Fold a bunch of birdshot or small shot into silly putty and fill a shell like a wax slug. A non-newtonian breaching round!

[@Tooill4daIRS]

Long live Dutchsinse!!

[@exorcistpriestorthodoxarch8307]

I LOVE YOU GUYS AND LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. SO INTERESTING , NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO COME UP WITH NEXT , AND SO FUNNY !

[@teutonieth]

Jeff, the yellowish hue on steel is a typical sign of zinc plating. Not sure if it's of any help, but at least now you know.

[@hagenoft]

Dutchsinse is the man!

[@Kuroi]

actually, in the second shot since the slug is steel, it could have been pulled by the magnetic field of the neodymium magnet, its a pretty strong magnet and the slug hit it right in the face

[@JesseAndMike]

That was awesome! Great video! :)

[@taofledermaus]

thank you very much Jesse and Mike!!

[@vega1287]

as far as i know the reason the diabolo shape performs so badly with spin is because the diabolo kind of has 2 different moments of inerta and something that spins wil want to have it's mass as far away from the center as possible meaning the diabolo will go sideways

[@Fudmottin]

There used to be a poster to rec.guns (USENET) who was famous for very hot loads. He wasn't happy until primers were falling out and cases were bulging. These were pistol loads though. I don't know if the rule holds for shotguns, but it seems that for lighter projectiles you really do want faster burning propellants. I suspect you already know that though. Just like the sound of my own voice.

[@taofledermaus]

The e3 is one of the fastest powders. There's a point where trying to push a projectile too fast causes other problems just with the limitations of waddings and all that.

[@Fudmottin]

I've only done rifles and pistols myself. Obviously you don't want a serious pressure spike. The guy I mentioned was going way over SAAMI standards and got a lot of flack for that (no pun intended). I didn't mean to come across as saying you should overpressure your loads. Interior ballistics is probably far more complex than I can imagine, and I can imagine quite a bit.

[@RetroVikingr89]

Great video guys! Keep up the good work.

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@aaronhumphress1588]

I love these videos! You guys have the coolest hobby

[@MrSmith336]

Man, that was way cool to see a hard drive from an Enigma machine. I hate to see you destroy such antiques though....

[@StPaul76]

Penetrating something Wehrmacht considered "armoured" for warfare in the IIWW would by my enlightened guess and crude calculation take a hell of a lot more than having a maquisard taking a shot at it with a 20g blunt shotgun slug made out of regular steel.. Letting off a couple of rounds with a captured 8x57IS Mauser rifle through engine covers would most certainly produce more of a desired result.. Which would also mean that the shooter would have to stand on top of an armoured car or a tank to do that which would be a quite of an achievement considered the vehicle would be moving while a squad of Germans would be pooring on you with an MG-42, a couple of MP-40's and a half a dozen Mausers..

[@CHAMBEREDin308]

Thank David for us

[@mattdickson2]

hey guys just wanted to point out an issue with your testing of pre 1950 shotguns ammunition. most military rounds pre 1950 were using brass shells rather than paper cardboard or plastic

[@taofledermaus]

This isn't pre1950 ammunition

[@abelincoln95]

Jeff- Since you have the Slo-mo camera now, would you consider doing a "Part Deus" video of the blank .22 charges shooting the .22 pellets in the .22LR???

[@TerenceMichaelReeves]

Continuity error! Taofladermaus already destroyed the big steel knobbly thing. Didn't they? I was sure they found a round that went right through that thing.

[@Puffalupagus360]

looks like it wouldn't penetrate any Light armored calvary unit's hull but it looks like a very good round for hunting medium size game like that boar on the box.

[@wheelch0ck]

Looks like a chess piece. LOL

[@XavierAncarno]

1:00 10 cartridges is the terms translated from French language for rounds or bullet for ammunition *Cartridges = Cartouches (bullets or rounds)*

[@taofledermaus]

I was making the point that the box only contains FIVE rounds/cartridges, not TEN.

[@dementious]

Bless David from France! God, Kali, Thor, someone, just bless the man!!!!!

[@alexbuss3377]

I think the F-111 should stay only as it's EF-111 Raven electronic warfare variant

[@Aussie50]

These would make a mess of an engine bay on a thin-skinned vehicle, I bet thats what they mean, for use on cars and trucks.

[@xvillin]

You might be surprised at what civil aircraft parts cost. On the planes that I work on something like that being about that price would not be too outrageous. The FAA has got us by the balls. The magazine holders in our planes apparently cost three grand or something. You got to have them because you got to put the emergency literature in them. However these are planes from the 80s and 90s I believe. They don't make them anymore.

[@mikecimerian6913]

The more I see experimental slugs flying, the more I come to believe that the rifling ratio isn't matched to their rotation requirements.

[@CCW1911]

I hate to point this out but after closely examining the pixels I discovered that is not a F111 part, it is actually a carpet sill plate from a United Airlines passenger jet, if you look closely I think you'll see the finger and teeth marks imprinted on it as a passenger traumatically removed it from the floor of the airliner as he disembarked. Word on the street is these and other collectible items are being auctioned by the airline to pay some random lawyer fees.

[@thickachu4001]

Those accounts of disabling German armor via engine damage are true however the conception of the armor penetration is way overdone as they actually were shot through the thin vented engine decks where there was only a couple MM of actual armor.

[@johnthomas425]

The slug was good enough to destroy the Oh Face watermelon! We should also look into replacing Officer Greg's Walmart optics. Stay safe

well, if it used to be made with both steel and lead, it may have had better piercing power in the olden days, but it would probably be best for damaging the engines of unarmored transport trucks rather than armored vehicles

the packaging said carttridges because of bad translation, in french the word "cartouche" can either mean cartridge or (shotgun) shell

[@taofledermaus]

It said 10 cartridges, when the box only holds 5 rounds.

rather than burn rate, they should measure it by the expansion rate of an inch cubed.

[@jocaleb0236]

Since the original had a little bit of lead and the newer version doesn't wouldn't that make it have less energy to dump into the target so slowing it down sooner

I hate how the guy filming always has to try (and fail) to make some g-d awful joke, and the guy shooting never laughs (or even reacts), then theres a long silent pause until either he goes "uh, youre good to go" or the guy shooting finally says (sounding annoyed) "am i good to shoot?"
