shooting 22 cal pellets using nail gun blanks

[@scrappydude1]

A most interesting test. Certainly opens options if ever in a real survival situation.

[@BROTUNED]

I think I’d go with the .17 if you had ammo but the 22lr is plentiful and found everywhere which would make that the #1 choice

[@dkeith45]

I finally got to test this myself, after I purchased a Chiappa little badger. I only tried the greens. Some shot fine, others the pellet would break apart in the barrel and the top would shoot out, but the skirt would stay in the barrel. First one that broke apart, I only found out after the next blank wouldn't seat fully. So I removed the blank and pellet, looked down the barrel and could see daylight, but upon looking more closely, realized there was something still in the barrel. I had to use a cleaning rod to drive out the remaining skirt of the last pellet. I'll try it again sometime using Browns, but it most likely requires a heaver pellet, maybe one that doesn't have that 'hourglass' shape would be necessary for this to work reliably. This idea is a moot point at this time anyway, as nail gun blanks are currently .10 a round in the Chicagoland area, and .22 LR's are back in stock everywhere and as cheap as .06 a round. Something I would like to try though, will be to seat a FMJ center fire .22 bullet into the chamber and use a nail gun blank as the power. But I won't use the Chiappa for that. Most likely it'll be a 12ga to .22 adaptor.

You pushed pellet in to to far muzzle load it through top of barrel make sure it's in the barrel not the chamber

[@rickyshultz2051]

I’ve had the same happen and it wasn’t that the pellet was to far into the chamber ! Brown gave me the best results! 👍

[@tomayrscotland6890]

A nice cheap way to practice with those nail gun blanks very interesting to watch...

[@BROTUNED]

Thanks it was really interesting to see what would happen

[@Armadurapersonal]

I'd repeat the test with the newer "slug" type pellets that are coming out. H&N Slug HP, JSB knockout, NSA slugs, etc. Pellets lose stability at supersonic speed, that's why they're always shoot at around 900-800 FPS.

[@BROTUNED]

I’m wondering if those slugs would over pressure the rifle. I guess there’s only one way to find out

[@flashgordon99999]

@@BROTUNED I doubt they would as air rifle slugs and pellets are .217 to .218 while .22 lr is .224. Not a very perfect fit to bore. Accuracy will probably also suffer.

[@la2123]

Should the barrel be smooth bore for slugs?

[@BROTUNED]

No you need rifling to stabilize the slug

[@1776adb]

I shoot hollow point pellets with a BB super glued to it and a charge 5. The penetration is phenomenal .

[@BROTUNED]

It’s crazy what velocity will do

[@spitfire260381]

How when the pellets glued to the charge the casing smears the skirt of the pellet and destroys the pellet ? What are you using to shoot it ?

[@KimLing-x7v]

Surprised neighbors didn't call the cops on him.

[@BROTUNED]

They did one time! The cops checked me out and told me they won’t be coming back to disturb me again.

[@MikeWhite-n2d]

Air pistol pellets can damage the rifling because of the skirts.

[@jasonz7788]

For science great work Sir

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

Well this worked alot better than I thought haha

[@BROTUNED]

Ya they are very good at penetration

[@nigelman9506]

Excellent demonstration, great explanation throughout, question, would it go through body armour, with WW3 hanging over us, the public need weapons to protect themselves in case of invasion, like the film Red dawn, bit of a shocker for them if a 22 can stop them, is it possible to see what a level 5 red blank would do

[@piterex7]

What powder are used in those ramset blanks ? Normally if you use blanks the barrel gets filthy after one shot because all those crap they use some kind of mixture! But ramset mast uses fast burning powder ? I guess if you shoot shot after shot

[@BROTUNED]

I’m not sure what they use but I haven’t cleaned the bore and fired 22lr ammo after this vid and all was well

[@justinsmith3755]

Wonder if Rifle rest would increase velocity? 22 not much recoil……but a solid hold on the rifle seems like it would increase velocity?

[@BROTUNED]

Maybe 🤔

[@harrybalsak916]

This might seem like fun but it could be harmful to a rifle. The lead in pellets is much softer than it is for bullets and most .22 bullets nowadays are either copper jacketed or lubed lead. You can badly lead up your barrel. Increased lead i the barrel can lead to higher chamber pressures. Also, the CUP's in some of these, especially the higher level, may exceed what the rifle is designed to handle and might eventually lead to failure or damage. If you watch Taofledermaus do this he mentions this. He is using an old junker .22 that if it fails it is no big deal.

[@BROTUNED]

Yes I understand that. It is after all the least expensive rifle I own therefore as long as I don’t get hurt it’s all good

[@SovieteUnion]

Спасибо за тест!

That's neat 😀

Hey bro, what rifle are you using? it's small and cute

[@BROTUNED]

It’s a savage rascal. Single shot bolt action kid’s trainer.

[@perryconn9486]

How are you loading the pellet in the gun?

[@BROTUNED]

From the muzzle with a cleaning rod with masking tape to stop it right at the throat

[@perryconn9486]

Ok thank you 👍

[@CryptidDevGroup]

Rifles meant to shoot blanks and pellets have been fabricated in Mexico for years. They are called munisalva rifles. Had one of those when I was a kid haha. They even have their own sort of extractor nails on the barrel.

[@Itscarlosvillalba]

Yeah, but they are thiferent its like a .22 short cartige case, i have a little mendoza .22 one shot and i do the same that u, its better use a red flight penetrators pellet
