MASSIVE 12ga. Slug Blasts THRU Lead Plate!

Filmed safety at a proper shooting range, we test another design by Evan. These are massive and were difficult to prepare so they would work. Because they were so heavy, they had to be shot at low velocity- around 1000 fps. They were really long, which I predicted would cause stability issues, but they did use an elongated diabolo shape, which can only help.
This one really surprised me and made me rethink the debate over velocity and penetration. Evan has a remarkable success-rate for his unusual and creative designs.

@@hawks1ish Obviously it's just magic.

[@The_Osprey]

I actually expected it to penetrate. Two ounces of a material harder than lead is hard to stop. I haven't done any calculations but the energy from two ounces of brass spread out over the area of the nose of that projectile has to be pretty high PSI.

[@onpsxmember]

@@hawks1ish That's probably it. If it's too fast the deformation has to happen quickly and it probably bursts off to the side making a flatter but wider crater, while more time and the big surface help to deform a much softer material while the huge mass keeps marching on.

I'm still confused how this went through. It has all the opposite traits you want for high penetration. It also did jack shit to the aluminium plate. Also, in older vids slugs designed for penetration got stuck in the lead plate without fully passing through. Maybe lead has some weird properties that makes penetration easier with a slow and blunt projectile?

[@Koichifirst]

Probably shatter like on the aluminumdumbum plate, or could even shatter the AR500 Steel too those are hardened metal so who knows :D only one way to find out then Taofledercrew

[@ramonalocksmith435]

@@Koichifirst It would depend on the slug speed vs the vibration hertz. It's due to the way they shed energy. Aluminuminumium is far more elastic than lead and sheds it through vibration. Lead sheds high impact energy by heating up from solid state to liquid state, and getting moved out of the way by pressure. If you look closely, the penetrator makes a shift when it is almost through. At that point, it had lost enough energy it was no longer capable of melting the lead ahead of it, but still had enough energy to simply SHOVE it's way through the remaining lead. AR500 plate wouldn't give up so easily.

[@egvander65]

@RamonaLocksmith Your breakdown of how the different materials dispurse the energy from the impact was very enlightening. Maybe it's something a first year engineering student knows maybe you have to have a PhD. I don't know... With your simple explanation of something that I'm sure is far more complex I feel like I completely understand exactly what happened on impact. You should comment more on the physics behind some of the other stuff we see here and other places as well. I know I can always use a little more education. Thank you.

[@ramonalocksmith435]

@Michael Norris@Who Tube? You are very welcome. Not an expert, far from it. As an actual physics major might say, "incomplete, but basically accurate" I was not a physic's major, but did take several credits of algebra-based physic's in college, and movement, and the dynamic flow of energy (can never be created nor destroyed, but just changes form and transfers between mass/particles.) has always been a special interest / hobby . YT can be highly useful for this, if you know where to look, and are willing to wade through the ocean of misinformation, bias, etc., and remember the basic rules. The fun part in recent years is the attack on gravitational singularities (black holes) This post includes O.G. Triggering devices. Just for a fun experiment! Let's see what happens!

[@murraypeacock9316]

Good to see you Danny. Take care of yourself and don’t rush the recovery. Positive attitude = Positive results!!

[@Boomchacle]

When tanks use long rod penetrators, the amount of penetration is almost directly related to the length of the penetrator. I wonder if you could penetrate the lead plate using a 3 inch long .30 caliber lead dart and a sabot!
