Crazy Russian shotgun slug - works like a tank sabot round!

[@moparedtn]

I'm surprised you didn't take a mold of those slugs, Jeff.... BTW, let me take a moment to say that as much as we love the OG, every time I see Danny as the guest shooter, it does my heart good. :-) I just came out of the hospital from beating cancer for the 4th time. Good to still be above dirt. :-)

[@taofledermaus]

I don't have a machine shop or a plastic injection machine

[@RazorSkinned86]

I love these complicated rounds and seeing if they work! You don't even have to be a firearms enthusiast to enjoy the anticipation.

[@rockriv2238]

Don't sweat the ad's, you're channel is worth it. Glad to see you getting paid guy's. Keep it up and thanks again

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@ph143aaf]

Danny is always shooting these Russian slugs... He always struck me as someone who like to take his time.... Get it?!.... I'll be here all week folks lol

[@Zachmman1997]

My 2 favorite things you guys shoot are the wet magazines and the lead block. Keep up the good work guys!

[@tm13icebeam6]

I like how you show Danny's two missed shots at the end. So many channels edit out attempts that aren't perfect. Danny is an excellent shot, this just shows he's human.

[@taofledermaus]

Yeah, I like to show we are human. It was really hot out there and Danny did very well.

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

Tm13 IceBeam Thanks. Just keeping it real 🙂. 🇺🇸😎

[@bobbyhuffman6742]

Welcome back Danny. You're still my favorite. 👍

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

Robert Huffman Thanks Robert 👍🏻. 🇺🇸😎

[@SurvivalRussia]

The magazines and steel bucket footage was really awesome, and your'e right, the Poleva's has a very flat trajectory compared to 12ga. Danny was just a bit high :) Good shooting Danny.

[@taofledermaus]

We just needed a larger target! lol It was SO hot out there that I'm surprised he got it that close!

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

Survival Russia Thank you 👍🏻. I am a subscriber to your channel 😁. 🇺🇸😎

[@jakezone1]

Hope Greg and his wife have a great vacation. And thanks for mentioning the add thing.

[@taofledermaus]

He should be back pretty soon.

[@jaredgreen5840]

That was some amazing slow motion. If you look carefully at the ground on the long distance shot you can actually see the shockwave of the slug as it passes and picks up the dust. Great video as always though ☺👍

[@alexegorov8774]

Danny said two important things. The first is "Ouch" and the second one is "Impressive".

[@curoamarsalus7822]

I've been watching this channel for years and don't recall ever getting an ad on mobile. Keep up the good work, TFM. Your work is timeless.

[@EdwinSarkissian]

I love Jeff

[@taofledermaus]

In a manly way?

[@EdwinSarkissian]

TAOFLEDERMAUS super manly lol

[@felixcontreras82]

Edwin Sarkissian can you guys ever collaborate

[@EdwinSarkissian]

FICRIFISHING we have . Look older videos . But we shall do something soon

[@taofledermaus]

Let's plan something Edwin!

[@83cable]

Holy hell, Danny’s shoulder must be sore. That’s a hell of a round. Would be good to see some slow mo in future of the shooter taking the force of a recoil.

[@weirdscience8341]

Just buy a neoprene and rubber shoulder saver most sporting stores stock them they just take that initial wack out that you get off magnum loads you still feel a push it doesn't really take all that much recoil out but it's a difference between a bruised shoulder or a not bruised shoulder I swere buy them for 3 inch magnums mines a jack pyke one I think

[@RobinPillage.]

Always nice to see a Taofledermaus notification in my inbox.

[@JuggoJuggo]

Nice to see Greg taking a vacation, giving that finger some rest.

[@planescaped]

Yeah, I was just wondering why we haven't seen him of late.

[@justinh3540]

He might be giving his finger a rest...lol

[@reptilez]

Stunning and so much more. "Hats off" to Dead Eye Danny. Well done guys.

[@20alphabet]

DANNY! The top marksman on KZbin!

[@bladeranger1886]

You guys are the best. Always lotsa interesting ammo and fun tests. When I sign on to YT, yours is the first site I go to. Keep up the great work. Thank you, Jeff et al.

[@taofledermaus]

thank you!

[@WHOTEEWHO]

WHOA!!! those are SERIOUS!!!

[@matt1968ish]

Who tee who!!!!!!! 😁

[@Beggli1996]

Jeff, You've been a favorite for quite some time. Always gives me a laugh. Keep up the top notch quality!

[@taofledermaus]

thank you!

[@heathdeighton8482]

Blind in one eye and deaf in the other ? . . . You know things are buggered when you go deaf in one eye !!! Danny, Jeff keep up the good work champs, peace from down under.

[@EpicEvilMonster12]

You're not crazy Jeff great video y'all that slug is bad ass

[@Dsdcain]

Great shooting *Danny.* Those had some recoil to them. I felt those over here on the east coast. Personally I like the "Dance of The Ballistics Gel" in slow motion. Thanks for the videos guys. Much appreciated. *:)*

[@byronnightingale5550]

It's really good to see you're still on KZbin, this is one of the best channels. Keep up the good work.

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG]

What, Greg and his fingers are in Greece?! Lucky dog! Thanks Jeff & Danny, this Poleva slug is incredible. We need them here!

[@ZENMASTERME1]

@5:00 That Was Epically Spectacular!! That Slug Turned The Gell Into A Jiggly Monster! 🐙

[@chrissutherland1587]

looks like that lead stem has a huge impact on energy transfer, love it!

[@markohelenin8731]

Insane slug indeed! Accurate and awesome energy transfer! R.I.P Inventor

[@kylehadrava4307]

That is sophisticated trajectory! Thank you again Gent's...

[@KirkHermary]

Hahaha Danny says, "That's a shocker there..." Great video guys!

[@DarknessViktor]

Hello, i'm from Yakutia! We regularly used and use this slug, for hunting on a large animals. The slug it is very popular in our big country)). For a better penetration force, I can advise you, to screw in a hollow nose, a solid screw or bolt. The penetration force increases, but the bullet is practically not fragmented)) Good luck)) Sorry for my english))

[@sahachas9062]

Что такое слизень? Что и кто так назвал, американцы что ли?

[@michaelt6413]

I celebrate every time I get to watch an ad on this channel

[@Erikreaver]

Now that is a beastly slug! Got to say, the results are impressive. Imagine slinging those through some semiauto shotgun in rapid succession. That'd put a world of hurt on whatever is your target, and quite probably your shoulder as well. Let's hope these get more widespread!

[@crazyfvck]

+Erik Blackboar I'm thinking that these would actually be more enjoyable to shoot through a semi-auto shotgun. They tend to soak up a bit of the recoil, at least in my experience. The only exception might be the Browning A5 (original)/Remington Model 11, because of the long-recoil action.

[@DragnarDaBreaker]

That would put anyone from the world of hurt by the first hit )

[@waynesmith7650]

I wouldn't even turn on my computer if I had to watch ads....great vids BTW

[@thomasraahauge5231]

I knew about the add thing - I disengage my add blocker before I log on youtube . . . Oh, btw: great clip :-D

[@richardfinney8617]

I know this is a old video but I love what you guys do, Danny needs a raise and should be the head of the swat team lol , he's the most gifted shot I've seen , shooting big caliber slugs takes a serious shooter. Keep up the good work guys here in South Georgia we appreciate you.

[@taofledermaus]

thanks Richard!

[@thespectator2976]

11:04 you can clearly see the ground showing sum shock wave. fantastic stuff :)

[@jeremyc.6900]

These are some devastating rounds! It's too bad they aren't easier to acquire! I hope the 12 gauge sniper's shoulder is ok. Ads suck, but I'd rather watch 4 or 5 than not be able to watch the all the great work you guys do to give us all something to look forward to.

[@capnlatenight5356]

KZbin video speed modifier extensions are so much better than ad blockers. I watch a 30 second ad in 7.5 seconds.

[@bencrane8505]

Danny goes low key with a “shocker” joke while discussing how many fingers. Sometime subtlety is just the ticket.

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

Ben Crane 😉😉👍🏻. 🇺🇸😎

[@Kyle0ng]

It really helps to have a good accurate shooter for testing ammo.

[@anotherrandomtexan25]

I gave a reeling that somewhere out there in the world is a fully functional proper APDS 12 gauge round that actually works... it would be a sight to behold!

[@jimmyhardin6366]

That recoil looks brutal Danny

[@scrumpyhunter8561]

From Russia with slugs...

[@asoggycracker8773]

I’d like it but it’s at 100 likes even

Great content as always, I’ll gladly watch a few ads for this. Keep it up, Jeff!

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@randomfox9970]

TAOFLEDERMAUS cool video as always but its why I subscribe to you guys that slug would have home defense potential no over penetrating like a frangible slug 👌💪🐾🐺💕

[@SmoktimusPrime]

Makin' my day by gettin to see Danny boy blast some stuff!

[@dougalexander7204]

Good golly Molly, what a gash. This slug is ideal nasty, it flies flat and true, with a powerful punch. Thanks Jeff and Danny, hey OG.

[@wickedvoltzz]

loved the video. it all ways hard to pick a favorite channels for this type of stuff but after thinking on it i have to say i think your is my favorite. Also keep of the good work with the framing of the shots.

[@heywardmorgan7699]

Awesome Slugs, screw ad blockers that hurt yours and many others channels. keep up the good work

[@vhulheim]

If everyone used ad blockers then we wouldn't have to deal with any more annoying ads.

[@GrymsArchive]

Lets be real honest here, Google/KZbin screws creators. And have been doing so now for some time.The AD-Blocker red herring just don't fly.

[@1fanger]

I love watching your videos. Keep them coming. They remind me of my youth back in New Jersey. New Jersey is still gun country, as it was in the 70`s and 80`s in my young life. . I used to shoot hand loaded slugs prone. I would garbage pick refrigerators and washing machines to shoot at. Even 69 caliber round ball, black powder behind. Keep it up guys.

[@ShaneSchenderline]

Danny's a badass! I wouldn't want to be downrange of him.

[@PorchPotatoMike]

Damn, that recoil was insane! Hope you’re OK after that, Danny.

[@delizard523]

great video thank you a million again guys

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@zeus-mt7wx]

Got to start with this. Your videos are simple very easy to watch and get so much information. Question wonder if Winchester Federal ect ever watch these videos. I’d say definitely a market not researched here.

No wobbling. Endless sunshine. We got big long roads out here. I'm going to Texas.

[@Uncle_Buzz]

Jeff, you should do an ISS, an International Slug Showdown. What countries do the best overall slugs come from. Could be 4-5 scoring categories; accuracy, FPS, stability, penetration, expansion, etc. You can enter one slug from each country. What say you? Cheers! Chris.

[@MoesFingers]

I must say, this was a juicy upload.

[@title1091]

Taofledermaus- now taking donations for Danny's shoulder replacement

[@lukearts2954]

6:50 I wish you had a high speed camera set up on the side or even slightly more towards the rear of the lead disk, because it would be interesting to see the elastic deformation too. Now we only see the plastic component...

[@taofledermaus]

Gotta be careful of lead fragments hitting the camera

[@lukearts2954]

yes, I agree, but you've shown that it still gives very usable images from a relatively great (and thus safe) distance. I think a side position, slightly towards the back to be out of the scatter plane of the surface of the target, at say 30 yards should be safe enough, don't you think? And/or add a plexiglass shield. Even soft metals like lead have a certain elasticity, and if you see the slow-motion images of the ballistic gel showing shapes that are not visible on other footage nor with the naked eye, there's bound to be some interesting frames to a hit that results in a crack in the lead disk, wouldn't you agree? (Of course, high speed cameras are a significant investment, so I fully understand your precautions and reluctance to put it near possible fragment trajectories. But for the sake of science and curiosity, I really wanted to toss up the idea)

[@lukearts2954]

PS no ad-block here ;) You pointed that issue out in a very comic way, because you had me looking for the X to click away the popup =DD I don't mind ads, especially if they keep great content like yours free, but they sometimes cut at the worst points, or cover up important information in the videos (when watching instructional videos p.e.) I would prefer a dedicated black area right next to the video over an annoying popup that blocks the creator's content. After all, you've put time, effort and talent into the creation, and messing up the balanced result with ads is somewhat of a lack of respect for all that energy put in.

[@fliegeesser4665]

I have watched many of your vids and I think you are vastly improving the slo motion clips. I love to see what the thing looks like that is in the shell and how it flies through the air. Ive started to take some ideas from this and that ... I have started to draw up some designs ... I currently have no wat to make them, but I would like to be able to send you some sketches to start a dialog with you. Keep up the educational vids

[@newcode14]

I like how you can see the compression wave on the ground in the last slo mo.

[@kiruppert]

I am not surprised your table got damaged. I went to Bed Bath and Beyond a while back and got the cheapest table they had and it looks like the one you're using. ;)

[@Benzy670]

When I heard that first fragment thud onto the table at 3:10, I thought to myself, “man, that’s a heavy slug if only a piece of it was so loud!” and then seconds later Jeff says it’s a heavy slug haha

[@tinytrax1978]

odzadze123 The maker died

[@SPAZTICCYTOPLASM]

Russia has some weird gun laws where you can't own a rifle until you've had a shotgun for a bunch of years so that's why they have 5000 different slug designs to compete with rifles they can't have easily. In the US you have rifles. These different slugs to the Russians is like people getting together and arguing about their chosen rifle calibers for game. Still really cool slugs, and most are easy to make if we just had molds.

[@eugenemihailukov8611]

@@SPAZTICCYTOPLASM it was true in the past, but since 2014 and 2016 we have 366TKM and 9.6/53 lancaster guns that you can buy with shotgun license.

[@pwrplnt1975]

LEAD on LEAD violence...lmao! Good One, Danny!

[@ParadigmUnkn0wn]

I would love to know what chamber pressure these are running at, and even see the complete pressure curve on them. That's simply amazing ballistics from a shotgun. I suspect quality, modern shotguns can handle these without issues, so it'd make a heck deer round. I may have to see if I can make a mold for a similar slug using a 3d printed sabot and test some rounds.

[@BEder-it4lf]

Getting ready for when they bring back the Woollymamoth! 😁

[@LarryC213]

I remember reading an article by Sheriff Jim Taylor, in it he said that a slug fired from a 28 gauge shotgun had more energy than a 454 Casull. And the last that I heard, a 454 Casull would cleanly take any game animal on the planet. In my opinion, That is something that more shooters should know or be aware of. I doubt that many hunters are really aware of what the old smoothbore is capable of doing.
