J-B WELD Shotgun Slugs - Is it crazy enough to work?

Making bullets (slugs) out of J-B Weld has been suggested SO many times over the years. We used some of their SteelStik putty and were able to make around 6 slugs from a single tube. (a magnet does stick to the stuff) We could have made more if we used more lead shot, naturally. The goal was to make slugs that had ballistics (accuracy and stability) as good as factory ammo.

So you can blast a hole in something, and then repair it afterwards. The circle of life........ Great video as always.

[@taofledermaus]

lol true! thanks Ian!

[@MrCrumb34]

I wouldn't risk using these for home defense. What if when you shoot a bad guy the JB weld immediately seals the wound back up so they can stay in the fight?

[@amphibiousone7972]

😂🤣😂🐸🍻 Good One 🤙

[@3isr3g3n]

This has become my favourite youtube channel, really. Your videos always have this feel of fun and passion about them, and that's what keeps me watching. I'm also honestly impressed how well you've kept out commercial interest out of your videos. Not many channels manage to stay true to their roots for this long.

[@taofledermaus]

thank you!

[@DanGoodShotHD]

I've been watching this channel for 7 or 8 years and you're right it has hardly changed other than different locations and shooters. Bravo Taufledermaus. Outstanding. That certainly does deserve recognition. 👏👏👏👏👏

That JB WELD blew my mind. That was a great round. Imagine a CSI trying to figure out what hit the perp. Great vid as usual.

JB WELD has gotten me out of so many bad spots in life! I love the stuff. Almost as much as duck tape and zip ties. You made some great slugs out of that stuff! Danny ROCKIN' the Buffalo's Outdoors shirt! Thanks Danny!

[@ArcticArsenal]

Great video! I just used that same JB Stick to fix a small leak in my gas tank. I never would have thought of shooting it out of a shotgun.

[@stevemiller7433]

There's a guy on KZbin who molded a cylinder head out of JB weld for a lawn mower.... It actually worked. It's tougher than you would think.

[@JobiWanification]

Now can you make a slug and fire it BEFORE sets and cures? Use it as quick application for reattaching side mirrors on old Buicks.

[@KentuckyBallistics]

Awesome video! That shirt looks good on Danny 😁

[@taofledermaus]

lol thanks man!

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Whoa there son...now you're in my wheelhouse! I am the maintenance guy for a whole factory and I carry JB Weld in my tool box. Didn't know it was lethal too!

[@cwatson42785]

Cool hat, I like how it filters out just some of the sun and don't entirely block it out. Want one. Cool vid

[@spaz13b]

I found this video that I apparently saved in the wrong playlist. And to my surprise, Danny is in it! It was so good to see him again. I'm glad that he'll be immortalized with these videos.

[@KirkHermary]

Great video Jeff and Danny! Thanks for another interesting and original production.

[@wickedvoltzz]

I love watching your videos and the framing for your shots nearly always works out for the best it is simply a joy to watch.

[@taofledermaus]

I would like to name the J-B bird shot. “J-Bird Slug”

[@kalixtshawxo]

Awesome video. This is one that I had asked about and was excited to see. You guys take it serious and know your audience... Some plain, some with shot, variety of builds for testing.

[@xenaguy01]

13:00 I love the slo-mo of this gel block. The slug's impact pulled the outer walls through the hole!

[@Dsdcain]

Really impressed with the impact on the lead plate *(and Danny's shooting)* with straight JB Weld. I was also impressed with the stability of those homemade slugs. Thanks as always for the video guys, it's appreciated. *:)*

[@jeremyjames1659]

Yeah Danny is a good shot

[@no.step.on.snek.2423]

Danny is an excellent shot.. and the stability is achieved due to the " diablo" shape. Tried and true if you want a projectile to stabilize , make it slightly heavier in the front and shape it like these slugs.. from airgun pellets to badminton birdies , the diablo flies true

[@FordPrefect23]

Send some to Paul Harrell to test against the meat target ;)

[@patpatterson12]

Yeah, do that!

[@Hunt2EatWild]

The brick shot was amazing.

[@johnhall9476]

the diablo shape seems to work very well for most strange projectiles

[@mattv2099]

that gel is so beautiful

[@taofledermaus]

I'm going to melt all I have into one giant nasty block soon.

[@mattv2099]

Hey! Millimeters are my preferred units of measurements! Fun fact: I designed all my slugs in mm!

Keep it up man. Maybe try to make something out of wood or bamboo. It would also be cool to see the ballistics of a zigzag shaped slug.

[@MyEmkill]

I would like to see what happens if you build bullets from Cyanoacrylate, aka superglue. just fill a silicon mold with the superglue let it set and test it, I WANT IT!!, or you could make a mix of Kevlar and superglue, sort of pykrete!, for an interesting experiment. :D

I get so excited when I see little Tony :) Bricks are made from clay and shale :) They are pretty good at compressive strength but tensile strength not so much :) so they break easy.

I'm pretty sure NASA uses the metric system...

[@masterofchaos7428]

@@chrisreid5272 during the Apollo missions they used U.S. standard measurements.

[@Subtlenimbus]

NASA used the SI system for everything during the Apollo program. They only used US units for the display because the astronauts were more familiar with feet per second and such.

[@elektro3000]

Wow! Looks like they were a complete success. I wouldn't have expected that!

[@ICU2B4UDO]

That JB Weld is a perfect home defense round especially with BB's or Buckshot...It doesn't over penetrate but the frangibleness is like a mini grenade going off after impact...Nice! It's like Hallmark, when you care enough to send your very best to an intruder who has just seen his last sunset!

That shockwave was so cool to see. You guys should shoot close to the ground more often.

Good job guys. I never thought someone could bring me hours of entertainment with just a shotgun. Then when you upload something like the Gyro jet it is a bonus. Keep it up and my cheap ass my have to donate.

open youtube and I see a new Demolition Ranch vid and a Taofledermaus vid. I watch your vid first:) And thanks for the metric depth gauge the rest of the planet appreciates it.

[@dreylar]

Hi there. I watched Demo Ranch right after watching this channel. I love both channels but this 1 just a little more. ( not sucking up to taofledermaus)

[@ryanbernard6550]

Also shooting Al foil isnt allllll that great of an idea when you have already shot through Al stock.. Jb weld slug? A bit more of a mystery even for those that use the stuff regularly. I guess thats just my opinion idk.

[@kbendle1556]

Thought those would shatter in the barrel. Good shooting.

[@ramrod126]

So did I. I've used JB Weld to fix cracked crank cases on dirt bikes, I've used it to fix lawn mower parts, I never thought it would be this tough.

[@3800S1]

I love JB weld. Been using it as a substitute for ARP 2000 rod bolts in my sports sedan since 1996! 360,000Km and still going strong.

[@kevins1114]

I've home-made slugs from fiberglas resin mixed with various metal powders and shavings. I made them to fit in standard bird shot cups. They pack a good wallop. They're similar to wax/birdshot slugs, but hold together a bit better.

[@michellepowell1956]

JB Weld the table!

[@TheRocky3211]

a impressive round indeed , it seemed very reliable . i wonder what the cost per slug would be , and how it compares to similarly priced rounds .

[@matthewwolfe7962]

TheRocky3211, it’s definitely not cost effective at all. JB weld is expensive and a slug uses a lot. You get way more performance out of a foster slug and they’re cheaper

[@hirumaryuei]

The JB Weld + birdshot is similar in energy to a .357, or maybe a 10mm. Not actually that amazing compared to the ridiculous energy of a shotgun slug, but if you had nothing else and needed to handload some shotgun ammo, this wouldn't be a bad choice.

[@Stacy_Smith]

@@matthewwolfe7962 Let's do apples to apples here, how much would a good stable frangible home defense round cost? These actually do have a specialized practical purpose!

[@amphibiousone7972]

In my repair experience...i found a great way to substantially increase the strength of JB Weld ... After you have casted , cured and finalized the "part" coat in a layer of Super Glue..... Use the thin stuff ....it will soak into the the material.... Gives it much higher strength.... Kinda like case hardening.... Great video guys .. Fun Science Experiment....

[@awizardalso]

I like that you have in the background audio the 'Flight of the Valkyries' composed by Wilhelm Richard Wagner. Back in the early 60's, in elementary school we went to see an orchestra in Cleveland, Ohio, not only play this but many others by a few other well known composers. My friends thought I was nuts because I liked classical music.
