The 8 Penny Shotgun Slug of the Apocalypse - TESTED!

Today we test an interesting 12ga. slug that is simply made out of pennies- but using science. The slug is designed to be ballistically-stabile without any spin at all.

It's my understanding that YT now prevents people from using ad-blockers, which I don't agree on, but to lessen the annoyance of the ads I removed about 4 mid-roll ads that YT automatically stuck in there. If I can I still make a little money with fewer ads, I can probably remove more ads. Remember, the ads help pay my bills so I appreciate your understanding.

I was thinking the same thing, you could easily increase the weight to one oz with solder, and they’d be bonded quite well. Solder each one individually of course and the overall height wouldn’t increase that much. I guess at that point it would just be a copper Foster slug though.

Not only impressive, but rich in potential. You could drill a hole in the stack, shove in a nail and bind it all together with putty. You can cut notches in the Pennie’s for potentially better flight, plus, the way they’re rounded, you could fit wax and shot in a chamber made with 2 pennies for more weight, again drilling a hole through the center to keep the chamber connected to the penny stack.

[@bigharrybushcraft8364]

From now on, if you use hot glue, I think you should be obligated to use some glitter as well! Once the glue cures, you might be able to tap a stainless screw through the nose for a possible penetrator. Also, if you plan to continue testing on this line and want to boost velocity but are worried about flight separation, you might be able to maximize the glue effect by sticking the formed slugs in an Easy-Bake-Oven nose down for a bit to help even out coverage.

[@Odinfang]

I’m so proud you cracked the code on using coin currency as ammunition bud. I’d love to see you experiment on other coins. Even unglued, the pennies fly in a great column to mimic a slug. Rounding them like you did desperately needs more experimentation with other metals. I hope some machinists at watching and devising what’s best described here as a rounded disk column load. Edit: after more views and brainstorming, I realize that you could drill a hole through the center of the stack and fit a nail or core inside, using putty to keep it all together. Plus, the way the pennies are rounded, you can also put two together to make a chamber you can fill with wax and shot for more weight, using a nail to again hold it all together.

[@michaell397]

They performed well they remind me from when I was younger when I lived at the lake I used to make a lot of different types of projectiles with hot glue and stuff inside of it I would mold it with whatever I wanted to send down range inside the glue not just for shotguns but also muskets and even 22rimfire blanks my favorite was slingshot ammo slugs I would take a metal ball bearing and drop it into hot glue melted in the shape of a slug in a mold made in Play-Doh from an actual slug and it would sink to the very nose of the slug mold which would keep it super stable in flight nose heavy like a dart
