The Black Scarab 12ga. Slug - Supersonic Freight Train

[@jefferymekinda14]

Jeff and Greg, thank you again for the invite and giving me the opportunity to spend some time with some quality people. It was more than I expected and just can’t express how grateful I am for getting to join you two.

[@stambutv6175]

You are nice shot mate, hope to see you again on this Channel.

[@scrappydoo7887]

Good shooting 👍👍

[@mhoop1]

One of the best parts was slowly watching your scalp turn color to match your shirt! jokes aside, what a great opportunity! like a field trip for adults!

[@justinbellpa]

great shooting

[@Mortiis558]

You seemed like a natural fit and like you have been taping with them for years! Great job shooting and talking!

[@hallofo8107]

"Shot him right in the Black and Decker" needs to be a new euphemism... Great video as usual TFM crew, it's nice to see new guest shooters!

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@texasrex2222]

I always get a kick out of OG introducing the rounds when Jeff puts the tabletop overview before it lol. You guys do some great informative and entertaining work, thank you!

[@rsrrhino]

For never shooting a slug before he did great. Very cool projectile.

[@TafferBoyElvis]

First slug I ever shot was at an old yellow pages book, and it scared the stuffing out of me. Blew the yellow pages apart and scattered phone numbers from Tooele to St George, or thereabouts.

[@MrTruckerf]

@@TafferBoyElvis First slug I ever shot was at a stack of old VHS TV tapes. It penetrated through all ten seasons of 'Friends', and actually improved a few of them!

[@stephenschenider4007]

I mean, how is it any different? By the time you feel any recoil bullets have already left the barrel so.....Shooting is shooting.

[@noahcount7132]

Evan did it again. The 'black scarab' is a performer. The new and improved Jeff, nominated to do the shooting today, turned in a good performance as well. Way to go TFM.

[@texpatriot8462]

It kind of looks like a Black Rook. I wonder if he could make a "rook" fly right. Those crenelated walls would tear stuff up.

[@chrisdavis3642]

That's a good idea!!

[@getfucked3559]

Entire chess set of shotgun rounds

[@baikia777]

Some of the fragmenting rounds they shot previously look like a rook as well. For example the copperhead round or something. I think there's also one that looks like a fat pawn lol

[@ScottKenny1978]

The Queen or King could be real fun, the crown points already there and a filler like the Cor-Bon PowRBall.

[@vinceofdeath1361]

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

[@scottteams3361]

I have been watching for what seems like a decade now and have never NOT been entertained. And this channel gave the informational super highway the great OG and his danger show! Need I say more? Excellent as always, I sincerely thank you for all of the wonderful content over the years!

[@taofledermaus]

thank you very much Scott!!

[@scottteams3361]

No Jeff thank you sir! I said in my comment about a decade and I mean it. You are one of my go to channels that I watch everyday along with OG and your content has helped me through losing a few close friends. And I just really wanted you to know how much the channel means to me and how great the content is. And don’t let that go to OG’s head…. because I am just a regular guy who likes ballistic cannon science experiments and the effects they have on random objects. No one special at all. Life-time sub. If I am ever out that way would love to meet you guys and come watch. A very sincere thank again, keep up the great content!

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

I was in a band with officer Greg, but we quit before we started. Let me say this he shoots about as good as he plays guitar 😛.

Impressive, entertaining, hilarious and educational as all ways! Thanks guys!

[@taofledermaus]

thank you very much Andrew

[@stanleydenning]

When a projetile hits a human at that volicity and that much force, a kevlar vest does no good. The ribs are broken and forced into the lungs and heart. Causing irreparable damage. In other words, the victim is dead. Even though the slugg did not penetrate the body. It's called blunt force trauma. Like getting hit by a freight train.

[@RANDOMNATION907]

The hydrostatic shock lacerates the the spleen, liver and pancreas too.

[@MrTruckerf]

Good comparison!

[@Rando_Shyte]

Lol

[@bmstylee]

I heard OG had a band called Armeture. It was mostly post modem industrial thrash. They mostly played the dive bar scene in Germany. I might be thinking about someone else.

[@jamesbromstead4949]

Shout out to The Rhinestone Hurricane for another "Killer" slug design. Good works guys. That was Greg and Jeff, and his other brother Jeff.

Hope you get some good use out of the (Care Package) I sent home with you, and I got a neat surprise in the mail today that is truly appreciated. Stop by anytime you're in the area and keep the videos coming. I always look forward to the next one.

[@F3YAW]

Hmmm. Office Greg wasn't the only finger wiggler on this one. Jeff seemed like a real nice guy. Great vid.

[@ishnifusmeadle]

That's amazing you guys gave time and face to face connected with a follower. Even more amazing that you gave someone else the honor of doin the shooting and being the c star (obviously the slug,star b, and Brandon,star a). To yall this may just be alittle fun range time/hobby/work but to many of us you guys are bigger stars that typical Hollywood. I'm sure he'll cherish that time for the rest of his life.

[@izzyplusplusplus1004]

This is one of the best looking slugs from an aerodynamic aspect. In my humble opinion, they'll fly straight smoothbore. Have not watched it yet, will admit my wrong if I am wrong

[@lukesalazar9283]

Wrapping the gel block in baling wire? Alright, now I'm actually curious as to what thickness and type of wire it could break and what types and thicknesses would slice the get and stay wrapped around it.

[@worldtraveler930]

I like the idea of a pants leg better myself!! 🤠👍🇺🇦

[@safetyfirstintexas]

barbed wire would be like a cheese cutter and jell block would be in slices.

[@vfs9357]

Wire over gel is a no go I guess. But put a board over the gel, then apply the wire. This may work

[@rickjames7391]

I'm very interested in this experiment. We see how far it launches a barbie, but she's light. I bet it easily hulks through denim when a slug is passing through the block.

[@moparedtn]

*Jeff!* How very gracious a pair of hosts Gregg and Jeff are - and Gregg allowing his trigger duties to be manned by "Jeff2" shows levels of great hosting you won't see much of anywhere else! Great episode just because of that - so Evan's Black Scarab ripping hell out of everything is just icing on the cake! Thanks as always fellas. 🙂 - Ed on the Ridge

On Ballistic Gel Containment; Try "Pantry Hose", which is more durable than normal hose as it is intended to carry pantry items close to the body. Ie; Tins of tuna and sardines...

Glad to hear someone finally has a clue as to what "spalling" is. The word is misused in a variety of scenarios.

So are so many misused terms. "Point-blank range" which is just using zero holdover, "electrocuted" when it was just an electric shock. etc.

The first thing I learned was to not cook it in the house. lol It might cost half as much as clear ballistics gel if I can figure out how to cook almost 2 gallon batches of it. Bait Plastics has been pretty cooperative and has offered to send samples of all their different plastisols. If it works out, it might open up a new market for their stuff.
