12ga Slugs - Motor Commutators- Awesome Performance!

Evan sent us more of his commutator projectiles. Since we tested similar ones last year, I wanted to do something different and propel some a low velocities (about .38 sp. speeds) and others at "rifle velocities". Lots of interesting surprises in this one.

11:17 "It always blows my mind how clean of a hole that makes" Well it's toilet paper Jeff, that's what it's supposed to do

[@TheNetsrac]

That comment cracked me up, more than it probably should have... Thank you ^^

[@michaelblacktree]

hehehe

[@jacobacon3219]

InB4, “muh bidet!”

[@puffnstuff12]

I get upset when toilet paper holes appear during normal use. 💩🤣

[@pyrotek40]

Geezus that was the funniest part of this video....

[@jameson7276]

Danny- Launch Director LOL That's like calling a sniper a long-range deliveryman

[@joshuagibson2520]

The amount of material the gel puked back out was incredible.

[@justinrojas3289]

Absolutely that kid that makes those has a lot of work doing so now . Good for him 👍🏽

[@spencerb1221]

The gel shot back

[@DIVeltro]

Sure hope that the OG is staying safe with all the crap going on...

[@lowtdave]

Oh wow...I had missed that first time I watched this. That was ridiculous. I think next time, they need to follow the FBI protocol for clothing layers on the gel. Jk. I love this stuff. I need to get into reloading already.

[@flhusa1]

the lead plate never fails to deliver

[@aveleziii]

The ping off the aluminum was sublime. It just felt right. The lead plate deformation was so satisfying. But the real gem was the cell phone. The fact that it was so dang close, only to hit with the core was amazing.

[@demetriussalas8787]

Shooting toilet paper is probably the biggest flex right now...

[@josephburchanowski4636]

Artificially created shortage. It is amazing how just thinking there is a shortage of toilet paper causes a shortage of toilet paper as people start buying it in mass. In the past one Comedian accidentally created a toilet paper shortage with a joke.

[@sarchlalaith8836]

I love that danni quoted Jorg Sprave. I almost screamed "HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE SLINGSHOT CHANNEL".

[@silverback3926]

Check out the trail from the center of the comutater as it passes over the phone. 5:40

[@taofledermaus]

Yeah, I've been trying to frame the objects against the trees way off in the background to try to show the wake a little better.

[@jacobacon3219]

TAOFLEDERMAUS Definitely a good choice.

[@DerptekofGoochland]

@@taofledermaus Why not spraypaint a plywood panel black and stand it up on an easel/stick? You could stick a few feet away from the target table but in background of the camera shot.

[@mattmartineau6018]

And, the damned Nokia STILL works??!?!!

[@ArmchairDeity]

Love the “dumbest way possible” ending...

[@HereticalKitsune]

That is one fast round! The ballistic gel hit looks BRUTAL! Not very penetrative, but the damage looks painful. Danny's shirt is also quite awesome! xD

[@ellencameron3775]

Honestly, it seems like it would make a great round for situations where overpenetration would be a worry. Hits hard, splinters like mad, doesn't go more than about 6" in.

[@AndoniOlea]

@@ellencameron3775 home security.

[@srddrs9285]

The commutator shaft makes excellent backup insurance in case the rest of the assembly fails to stop invaders. I wouldn't want to be hit with either part. That's a definite life-ender.

[@jeremyshackelford8080]

Of course it's a clean exit hole, that's the Charmin promise!

LMFAO

[@michaelh7527]

I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂.

[@20alphabet]

Danny's marksmanship is outstanding.

[@travissmith2211]

Had four ads on this video. Good work with the "mass accelerator".

[@ponthis1]

Proven totally effective even with total failures... Great video Jeff and Danny

[@taofledermaus]

Thank you Larry!!

[@wolfgangpelz9516]

I'm pretty impressed at how Jeff managed to maintain a very good quality standard for his videos even when complying with the strict youtube rules about the devices used to launch those projectiles. Very good work Jeff, Danny, and Greg!

[@regsparkes6507]

Last things first,.." they'll never notice"...did make me darn near chock on my bottle of water I just started to drink from! Why-to-go Jeff. Those Commutator Slugs were actually very cool to watch, especially in slo-mo ! Thanks to Danny and Jeff.

I'm glad to see you got a fine tablecloth for your nice dining table. It looks like the separation effect is a value-added feature. You install TP like a government employee.

[@werewally3156]

Interesting that on impact it creates a green cloud, as copper burns green when you heat it enough.

[@hallofo8107]

You guys are _beyond_ awesome. Both the "range crew" and the people that contribute. Edit: you really shouldn't worry to much about the projectile coming apart in flight. I'd hate for you to get separation anxiety!

[@MAJ_T_Bagger]

That was one of the coolest slow motion shots I've seen in the clear ballistic gel. That style of slug with a double flanged hollowpoint insert in the middle (so it doesnt eject) would be a nasty home defense round.

[@TheNetsrac]

Great video as always. Thank you very much guys. Seeing a new video on here, always make my day better ^^

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Loved the ending. They'll never notice. 😂😂😂

[@Dsdcain]

Very nice of Danny to give us an OG tribute finger in the hole moment.🙂 Great video. Contained the fantastic high speed weve come to expect from TFM.👍

[@johnnyappleseed6415]

There was a woman teacher at the high school, Ms. Bissell, that was "large"... We referred to them as "Bissell's missiles" also. Your speechlessness during Danny's ballistic gelatin "indiscretion" was priceless :)) ...

[@alexanderthomas2660]

Wow, Danny was able to see what happened to that projectile without any high-speed footage… he truly is Dead-Eye Danny!

[@capsizedkraken8405]

The best intro to a video with no context.

[@taofledermaus]

[@ronniepirtlejr2606]

Jiggle jiggle, You got to love that gel in slow motion!

[@fastamx069box8]

You guys are always awesome, funny, and informative. Thanks for being here for us 👍👍👍 God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏

[@brianartillery]

I take it, that, other than the steel core, the commutator is mainly copper wire and ceramic magnets. Seeing the truly horrible damage it did to the gel block, it's not a round that I'd like to be shot at with - as both parts hit the target separately. Fascinating as always, gents. Thank you.

[@timbourque5095]

Hard steel core and paddles !!! Multitasking ! I'm blown away 😂

[@ryansmithza]

You guys had me chuckling from start to finish! It's really a shame that your videos are monetized as your content is ALWAYS great! Thanks again for all the effort you make to give us this awesome content 🙏👍👌

[@TheFPF422]

The clear ballistic gel makes a real work of art! Like a 3D picture of an explosion! Loving it!

[@ImSpun13]

I never want to be shot, but if I was to be shot, I would definitely NOT want to get shot with this thing! You see what those petals did to that ballistic gel?!? NASTY stuff there!

Danny, I've owned that shirt for over a year. Working in a plastics factory, grunt level, and I'll be drawn and quartered if I don't wear that shirt *_solely because it applies to management practices._* All my coworkers get a kick out of it. Mostly because the "nerd herd" up front never even set foot on the production floor. Great vid, and shooting, as usual. Keep up the good work gentleman.

[@professionalidiots101]

Lmao, the ranger wipe!! As long as you have enough left to wipe your finger 😂🤣😂🤣

[@johncage3025]

Man, I just love your talent using that high speed camera. It’s so awesome to see what truly happens, and not just assume or guess.

[@timbourque5095]

Good job guy ! Love The fact that you hand made them !!! That's totally awesome ! I'm a classically-trained wood joiner and love and have much respect for you guy's getting it done without all the tech machines and so on that in the end all this tech computers convenience means nothing if you can't even reproduce what people made hundreds of years ago ! 👍👍👍 Bissell missiles dude is awesome and inspiring .

[@timcarter1164]

From 6:48 - 10:22 is easily some of the best high-speed ballistics video I've ever seen. Nice job on catching that.

[@brianfrakes2703]

WOAH!! That gell test! Evan's gotta' devastating defense slug. Thanks, Jeff & Danny.

[@kdawg3484]

5:04 I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't think there's anything more beautiful on this channel that seeing a slug fly perfectly stable and accurate out of a smooth bore. It's such an impressive thing. It's like it's frozen in time, and the world is moving around it. I would watch an entire video of your best smooth bore slugs, Jeff, just to fully immerse in that serenity.

[@frankie9259]

Thank GOD for Evan !! He always sends in in the most interesting slugs. Thank You Evan and Thank you Jeff and Danny for making another great video . BTW my absolute favorite KZbin channel. channel

[@rogermarshall8991]

Great slug. Mabe cut the shaft a bit longer & peen it over to lock it into place. A little blacksmith tip. I'd sure like to see another attempt at them.?? Awesome idea.

"California windage" Classic Danny.

[@cycoholic]

Got the notification and an ad. Had me confused at first. I thought it was an older video, until you mentioned that he had sent similar ammo before. lol

[@paulk3681]

You can see the airflow around the projectile at 5.45. Excellent!

[@silvermann500]

The performance in the gelatin is amazing. Perfect combination of energy tranference, nasty fragmentation and deep penetration of the steel core.

[@cannonbendy]

August 5th 2022 still can't believe your gone ... But never forgotten miss you Danny

[@slimchans]

Craziest thing about the video for me is the fact that I am wearing the exact same shirt as Danny while watching it.

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

slimchans 👍🏻😎🇺🇸

[@dio3693]

The way it separated in the gel reminds me of the RIP round. A gimmicky round that's supposed to maximize wound potential with a segmented copper projectile that comes apart inside the target.

[@joedoe1096]

I had the exact same thought, that's the only other round I've seen do that. And I know they call it "gimmicky" but having 20 small pieces of shrapnel while having a core continue through is actually an incredibly damaging combination. Only one of those needs to hit an artery or something to be lethal, and it's getting a lot of chances.

[@joshuazeiler5263]

Its like an RIP and penetrator in one. Hits armor, going through, hits flesh, game over. Really is amazing to be honest.

[@dpbeardslee]

Really cool high speed on the gel block. I loved it when the block spit all that stuff back out. That's about a 9 on my Way-Cool-O-Meter.

Lovely slug, very nice... Wonderful spread in the gel, very impressive deformation. Loved the high acceleration vs lower speedd. Awesome video guys, well done! P.s of course I had to stop typing as tge end was so funny!!! Lol!

[@allenbryant]

I love Danny’s shirt!! I want one with my companies logo on the back.

[@UTubeHandlesSuck]

I hate to argue with Danny, but it appeared on the second test that his Kentucky Windage was spot-on. It was the Tennessee Elevation that failed. ;)

[@chuckguerin8141]

Cool as heck,especialy the gel imprints. That is perfect imperfection,hence Steam Punk ! Two ways to possibly end a hard spat.

[@DrgnSpawn]

I like how a lot of the bits from the slug come bouncing back out of the Ballistic Gel !

[@toddweatherly8142]

You could see the shockwave in the slow mo super cool

[@jamiebilbrey5908]

“They’ll never notice”… Best ending y’all have done yet.

[@majormitchell01]

Another top notch instalment from the Taofladerdudes. Thanks fellas. Great vid as always. If I could send love via paytreon I would, but alas..... Instead I wish to extend my great appreciation for the excellent product you produce and hope to see many more in the future. Thanks again. Jimbo.

[@bryanrocker5033]

To the slug maker, braze/weld a thin plate across the back of it and to the copper windings as well. My initial thought is at high power, the steel shaft flat face is providing enough resistance to the air that it is being pulled out of the commuter because it is conical on the end. Another thought is that the larger rear surface area of the commuter is allowing it to accelerate faster in the barrel. Its probably both of them LOL

[@WhenTheManComesAround]

Another great vid guys!

[@neckstumping]

Great stuff again. Cheers.

Your high speed photography is a thing of beauty.

[@kalixtshawxo]

Isn't the definition of "California Windage" being high and to the left?

[@dudeofrare]

A washer welded to the back end of the core is my idea.

[@mattberg6816]

Only thing that would worry me is how much deformation the weld heat might introduce

[@taofledermaus]

Just a loose metal disk behind it would have helped greatly

[@rbivgq1734]

Man slo-mo footage is so cool it was awesome to see the phone get hit, seems like these don't make the best slugs but they look pretty cool.
