Hunting Grade Ammo | Slinging Steel Biconicals

[@Cycad1]

Hunting grade? A rock is hunting grade. Lead is military grade. This is just terrifying.

[@Acroballistics]

lol yes I'm considering changing the title to military grade. we'll see

[@nathangrueber9834]

@@Acroballistics yes millitary grade for sure. Not power like a 50 calibur barret. But millitary grade fir sure. My dads got a 12 guage solid slug eliphant gun and it put a bullet thru 3 pinetrees

[@pisoiorfan]

it's called Mad Max grade

[@MichaelKnight-zc6bz]

I know right see how knarly they came out before he painted them

[@S.Grenier]

That's a really cool idea. Your videos have motivated me to become more serious about slinging, I hope you keep them coming :)

[@nathangrueber9834]

Your very lucky. My prolapses in my back wont let me do sidehand. So it greek fir me. But my upper back is still crook from christmas. Maybe 10mins of slinging and im still suffering

[@hhiimmddoo]

I love your videos man it was always hard to find good quality videos of slingers when i was kid trying to figure it out and now i get to watch your stuff as an adult i love it

[@bencilbusher5070]

imagine fighting romans who used pointed lead bullets going over 90+ mph.

[@nathangrueber9834]

This is an awesome vid. At the three min mark your body movements are realky great i think. Balance timing everything is great!

[@xXTepicwinTXx]

I love that ricochet face 😂😂😂. "👁👄👁"

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

Awesome sling bullets!

[@MichaelKnight-zc6bz]

Oh no that looks like the most brutal shank ive ever seen

[@amoszweig]

Cool! You could attach a small piece of cloth to the back end of the projectile, that would act to straighten it in flight so that it hits with the tip pointing straight foreward. Fold the cloth around the projectile when in pouch, so that it doesnt entangle with the released string...

[@jacobwhite8204]

The cloth would increase drag and decrease range but nonetheless is a good idea for those who have trouble with rifled shots

[@Mega_penetrator228UltraPower]

смысл? На сколько я знаю , такая пуля должна по мере полета сама выпрямиться носом вперед.

[@SkeleCCXL]

short of anything idk, 'exotic' copper might be best. more expensive than grinding them out of rebar of course. but copper is more dense than steel and rather more durable than lead. and still fairly readily castable. bodkin arrows are usually 4 sided pyramids, its said that having hard edges helps to focus energy and penetrate things better. though i dont know what if any affect that would have on the aerodynamics of a sling bullet.

[@nathangrueber9834]

I accidently put a hole in my brick garage wall with one of these

[@93FXDL]

Awesome! I want an Egyptian style sling just haven’t gotten around to making the jig. What did you make the projectiles out of?

[@Acroballistics]

18mm rebar

[@Torquemada71.]

To anyone out there wondering if its possible, you can use the sling prity successfully for hunting im 19 and have been slinging since i was 11 or 12 and in recent years have successfully taken down a cock pheasant a house sparrow and an Australian brush tailed possum witch are pests where i live and damage the native forest, in each instance i was using rocks for ammunition but am sure shaped stell projectiles like that would be far more deadly. another thing ive found with the sling that is extremely handy is if your hunting big game like wild boar and they are in thick scrub where you can't shoot them you can sling larg rocks into their area to flush them out and then shoot them with guns. When hunting small game with my sling ive found its easier to hit running of flying targets than stationary ones ive always found this weird anyone elce experienced the same thing?

[@feargach2107]

House sparrows are pests where you live? Luckily you enjoy killing things.

[@CJ-ld1kj]

@@feargach2107 house sparrows are very invasive in many parts of the world 😂😂

[@IronGoober]

I know at least 2 or 3 slingers that say hitting moving targets is easier than stationary ones. I don't have too much experience with it myself.

[@moflyboyblanquito541]

I just recently bought one on Amazon. Last couple of days I have improved significantly. Can’t aim worth a shit. But probably getting 75 to 100 yard in distance sometimes. I bet that metal would fk someone up bad.

[@luciusirving5926]

Quench steel bullets in brine and they will penetrate anything. Even through bulletproof glass. This is why I need a lathe.

[@vincentvestergaard7030]

In your opinion, do you think that steel or lead would do more damage, since steel will not deform giving maximum energy transfer to the target, while lead will deliver more energy initially but some will be lost as the lead bends?

[@Acroballistics]

About penetration I dont really know , if spin is not well aligned maybe being pointy becomes a disadvantage. This one ricochets much more than lead. If warbow arrow ricochets are going to cause any damage I consider this one an even better rival of plate armor in formations.

[@vincentvestergaard7030]

@@Acroballistics yeah, I've tried using both and against hardwood lead seems to deliver more force regardless of which end hits, sometimes even punching through (1" pressure treated wood). I didn't consider the ricochet aspect but I can see how steel would have an advantage there.

[@nathangrueber9834]

@@Acroballistics hey i was wondering anfer someone suggested putting cloth on the back to straighten the flight. Drag would be a problem. Do you know if cutting spirals into the surface of the rebar bullets helps spin and flight; or creates drag? Or lots of little dents like a golfball creates a vacume?

[@nevisstkitts8264]

Finally ... sling ammo I can find with my metal detector ...

[@hypersonicblabla]

nice video... do more of trick shoot compliation, ty for the upload

[@andylongmore6697]

Awesome ammo by the way,

[@jacobwhite8204]

With how hard steel is and relatively heavy that would be horrific to be hit by

[@Cawa9475]

what about thin mild steel aka car door

[@gabrielbennett5162]

Armor piercing sling ammo. Would love to see what see what this would do to a soft target like a watermelon or a pumpkin!

[@NORTH_CAROLINA_REAPER]

It'd probably make a penny sized hole. It would be cool if it tumbled inside the melon though.

[@qsprimalaccuracy9709]

AMAZING!!!!! Just subscribed to your channel!!!

[@Acroballistics]

Thanks! Welcome to the channel

[@MichaelKnight-zc6bz]

These biconical ammo do they spiral like a football point first through the air

[@Acroballistics]

yes, they might deviate a little. If they deviate too much they buzz and don't fly well

[@thejackinati2759]

Ahah! That's dreadfully scary. It might not have the density of lead, but the hardness, that would be terrifying coming towards you... (As though lead and stones weren't bad already)

[@IronGoober]

Your shot at 3:08, it took 5 video frames (more like 4.5) to hit the backstop, assuming 8 m, that's 48 m/s, 60m/s if the distance was 10m. That is smoking fast... May your biconicals rest in peace [or rust peacefully, whichever :) ]

[@CCGMASTER]

They weigh about 50g, that’ll do a lot of damage.

[@brasasdekentaro6732]

Goliath: wait, that's ilegal

[@johnbonforte4457]

If only you had a lathe

[@olddoclindenbrook]

Cheap Metal detector... will get them back for you!

[@livelystone]

You gotta sling em at chunks of wood!

[@brandonminer749]

Are those actually flying like a little football from Hell?! ... Don't they make fishing weights shaped like footballs? 🤔

[@Acroballistics]

with practice you can make them fly point first. I don't know if there are any pointed fishing weights on the market, I have found ellipsoid fishing weights.

[@andylongmore6697]

How long are your cords on the sling, been meaning to ask, that's if you don't mind me asking? Is it paracord?

[@Acroballistics]

the paracord sling with leather pouch is 80cm

[@andylongmore6697]

@@Acroballistics I've never used a paracord attachment, going to give it a try. I've use a 8/10mm rope usually on cast lines. The throwing line I usually use a bead or a knot tassel to help aim. Do you use a bead to aid the cast line, I've seen your rig an thought for some time got build one... very effective you have there mate

[@christiansmith4421]

Ouch!

[@AssassinKid0]

Now imagine if you make them with brass, bronze or steel...

[@Acroballistics]

rebar is mild steel. It would be awesome to have someone mass produce such ammo with the same finish and hardness as steel ball bearings

[@c-w-h]

I was wondering of its possible to throw more than one projectile at a time, or use two slinga in one hand. My own personal Curious theory to how it could of been used in warfare.

[@Acroballistics]

I have done a video with tethered ammo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4TKeJ-Cir-VY6c Multiple slings will just have more drag and complexity. Some people have tried it with multiple pouches. Multiple untethered projectiles will have a big spread. And keep in mind you are dividing similar amounts of energy into multiple lighter projectiles so you will get less range. Catapults in some circumstances would probably benefit from using grape shot, I don't think a slinger would be useful doing that in battle, maybe when hunting small game.

[@matheus-fn8fl]

omg this so cruel, i love´t. i think UN banished this ammo

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

Imagine getting with one of those lol!

[@michaelfranciotti3900]

No thanks

[@fvls_2110]

It is incredible, but i dont think is worth it. Maybe too expenseive...
