To mr Evans: What about having deeper grooves? And a more menacing tip with would carve through air, and the air would follow from the tip into the grooves? Idk ... i know nothing about this subject. Not sure what the point would be since the slug does quite well ... other than for fun i guess :)

[@taofledermaus]

I don't modify the slugs people send me.

[@KEITHPARRIS2949]

Would that slug have gone all the way thru if the lead plate had been fixed upright , what’s you thoughts ? Another great vid keep them coming I need stuff to watch at 3am in bed ,lol and be fair aluminium does have 2 x “I,s “ in it even if I am English .

[@taofledermaus]

It weighs 30lbs and doesn't move at the instant the slug hits it. Securing it wouldn't make any difference.

[@UltrEgoVegeta]

That was white the improvement over the shorter rounds.

[@gertballyhead]

beast of a slug. it must have cork screwed through the gel block. /s

[@BallisticBen247]

The fact that the wound cavity was so expansive that a cork pad ended up in the gel says ALOT about the power of that slug!!

[@julian75411]

Im quite impressed with how stable it was in flight. And unimaginable energy transfer (i wasnt expecting it to almost rip the block in half)

[@2nd-coming]

i was thinking the same thing, also saying to myself imagine if it was 200 F.P.S. faster it would of ripped it in half and would of been badas* too see on the slowmo cam

Always great to see OG on the channel. Not that your other guest shooters are boring, but Greg entertains in his own way and he's a great shot. Amazing piece of work by Evan Perry, and Jeff's loads should be given mad credit too. Thanks for the years of entertainment, guys!

[@kdawg3484]

Man, that 51-yd shot is a top ten shot of all time on this channel. Gregg's accuracy, the slug's perfect performance and shockwave, and that beautiful embedding in the plate. You could screw a nut onto that stud and it would be parallel to the plate.

[@taofledermaus]

Lol it looks like the plate was drilled and tapped for that thing

I’m impressed with that aluminum plate! I didn’t expect a steel projectile to stop that close to the surface or be deformed that much.

[@taofledermaus]

Especially a flat nosed slug

[@richellen6855]

The mushroomed Worminator 2.0 stuck in the aluminum plate was fantastic! Also loved the still spinning bounceback after going thru the gel block. COOL!!

[@taofledermaus]

It looked like we threaded it into the plate lol

[@robmanueb.]

@@taofledermaus I think you just invented the screw rivet. File a groove in the back and you could probably screw it out (edit, or use vice grips), I bet it would leave a nice thread in the plate.

The stability of these slugs in flight is incredible. Evan hit it out of the park with this one.

[@tubingview3251]

I think it had something to do with the threads. It didn't affect spin but the threads may have created a favorable pressure gradient for stability.

I'm betting a rounded nose is all it'll take to prevent the impact spalling. And the threading makes me wonder how manicured cheap rebar would do? Somebody's already tried that, I'm sure.

[@It-b-Blair]

@@willcool713no, it takes more than a rounded nose, welcome to the channel though!

[@willcool713]

@@It-b-Blair Yeah, thanks. Supersonic characteristics are all about maintaining a pocket of air around the object that ultimately refines itself as the optimum flight shape for passing the bulk of the air. A flat front, perpendicular to trajectory is never optimum. A stepped or angular nose might be better, but the classic bottlenose shape fits most ballistic shapes, supersonic or not.

[@taofledermaus]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@justinp2993]

I loved that secondary shock wave. I still think it had to be the sound return coming back. I wonder if you could make a blank round with no projectile or a projectile that would still allow pressure in the bore to build that would almost instantly go subsonic out of the barrel and shoot that closer to the ground to see the sound wave separate of the shock wave from the projectile. There's some kind of fun science going on there.

[@goldenwheeledbanshee9160]

Cause of officer Greg's outstanding shotgun shooting I'll give u a 9/10. It's hard 2 be accurate with unproven rounds. Thank u Evan 4 sending these gearoators, love u, guys. Enjoy the travels and I know u an misses officer Greg will ĥave à great time. Be safe officer Greg and family.

[@newdefsys]

There are two kinds of measuring systems. The one that put men on the Moon, and then there's the metric system for everyone else.

[@LENZ5369]

Actually you are talking about 'metric' system in both cases -US gov 'legally/technically' switched to metric in the 1800s (all USC are defined in metric, eg. US 1 lb is legally 0.4536 kilograms), most scientists in the US started switching to metric in the 1800s and up until the 2000s NASA used both (with US customary was mostly used for comms with the public and businesses); since then -them (and most of the US gov) is overtly 'metric'. Additionally there a bunch of stuff for which USC has no units for; eg. electricity -NASA would have needed to invent new USC units; without metric.

[@mr.pavone9719]

We don't use Imperial measurements in the USA, we use US Customary. Imperial measurements run larger. For example, an Imperial pint is 20oz. US Customary is far superior in that it is defined by metric but is awesome, unlike metric.

I am working on solidifying neutrinos. A neutrino slug should go clean through the Earth. Then not having enough energy to orbit, it will continuously pass through the Earth until the Earth is sand. Cool huh! LOL Great video.

[@stothal]

possibly the changes in density in the lead plate caused the projectiles. previous impacts could have caused micro-fractures or compaction of the lead, leading to the skewing of the worminators

[@sisleymichael]

Those slugs are pretty nice. I always feel like a kid watching these videos. Who cannot love shooting crazy things with a shotgun, using strange and exotic slugs? My first gun was a 22LR rifle. My second gun was a 12ga 870 my Dad got from a pawn shop. It was rough. We took it apart, refinished the wood. Someone left the thing in the rain or something stupid like that. The metal was fine. I used to shoot all manner of crap at the county dump with that gun. I even fished with it! I got up on low bluffs overlooking the river and would shoot gar when they came to the surface. Gar would always screw with my trot lines. I am 65 now and I still use that gun for dove and turkey hunting every year, and for varmint work around the chicken coop at night here on the ranch. These videos make all those memories flood back. Thanks guys. Very enjoyable for sure.

[@lexikdark3392]

99% off the world doesn't use imperial because we simply don't need to add complexity to something that works perfectly fine the way it is. in fact science in general is based in metric, and then translated over to imperial from time to time in order to make some very few countries on the earth understand it. so in fact, you're an outlier in the states. there's simply no need to imperial as long as we have metric ^^

[@Wickedstormgaming]

in the start he was talking about those ballistic gel torsos those are super expensive can see why they don't do that but wouldn't it be cool if once a year they got one and tested their favorite slugs from the year on it (if they had any left) a kind of yearly hall of fame if you will lol

[@taofledermaus]

The problem is I can't spend more money on a video than what it might earn me. If I make an expensive investment on something , it has to last more than just one video.

[@GoldenHart1970]

You guys just might of created a new style of future projectiles, those outer "thread rifling" make for a super straight flying bullet 👍 I believe those acme threaded rods are also case hardened when they make them for wear resistance which is also helping with their impressive energy transfer

[@mikkohernborg5291]

That’s a rather devastating round there. Would be interesting to see what kind of difference in oomph and penetration it would get if it was hollowed out in the back and filled with lead, making it like a shotgun FMJ. Another round I've been thinking about is just having a hollow tube - but ofc that would be extremely difficult to prevent the gas seal just folding into the tube and mucking everything up. But it might be possible to make a 2-part round: the hollow tube 'front part', and a matching 'end cap' that supports the tube while being accelerated that can fall away after leaving the barrel. The wall thickness would have to be pretty hefty, and I’m not sure what kind of aerodynamics it’d get (both super- and sub-sonic). But if it worked, imagine the damage, cutting a tube through soft tissue.
