The BLACKHEAD 12g. Slug - TESTED! (homemade)

[@taofledermaus]

I couldn't post this on Patreon for some reason, site seems to be broken right now.

[@stacycecil3527]

You got a like before my p.o.s. connection had even finished bringing up the vid. Keep up the good work.

[@DonHaussettler]

TAOFLEDERMAUS As of a week ago: We started supporting you guys on there; prompted by both the KZbin Union and our long held appreciation for your work. Please keep up the great work, man!

[@stacycecil3527]

What about a round that was nothing but the wadding?

[@stansmith7630]

what if you made a reverse cone < like a shape charge and put a API tip seated inside the cone so when it hit it explodes inside the shape charge cone concentrating the explosion allowing it to pierce armor

[@ArtisanTony]

stacy, that would have been like voting for hillary for president :)

[@snarl3027]

Matt V 2099 we miss you brother! You were the canary of the KZbin coal mine.

[@DasKoo]

The one to outlast them all, keep this alive! Awesome rounds today, love your channel.

[@RepublicofTX]

Load up some shells with piano wire, see what kind of damage it would do. I have a friend who has his 12ga at home loaded with some and I’ve always wondered what kind of damage it would do.... close range obviously.

[@esdrasUrbina]

YESS BACK TO EXOTIC ROUNDS. GREAT VIDEO.

[@graysongoss8500]

3:48 Ballistic Jelly! Let me show you its features!

[@mountainmetalhead6664]

Love those slow motion shots so cool to see what's happening

[@dayzguy4204]

I like how you shoot in the same place but it's never dirty or parts n pieces still all over the place. great work love the vids 👍💯

[@taofledermaus]

The place where Gregg and I shoot is getting trashed, not by us but by other shooters. We always clean up our messes

[@juppschmitz1974]

Thumbs up for Joerg's head! I don't know what I like more, the funny stuff wirh OG or the more serious stuff with Danny... It's though! But keep both of them comming! ;)

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

thanks!

[@CHIKUNHED]

Thanks for mentioning the union! Spreading the word is all we need to succeed.

[@friscoHub415]

I get amazed when the LED plate Sparks even the rubber sparked on impact

[@onewhoknws2001]

The slingshot guy laugh! 🤣👌🏼

The Hypersonic Knobs is my new band name.

[@EvilLOON]

Great vid as always. Glad to hear you're on board!

[@scottydouglass1892]

I think it is cool that you get along with and talk about different youtubers

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Good stuff my friends. That bird was asking for it!

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

[@taofledermaus]

one day.... one day

[@gamecubekingdevon3]

an joerg sprave reference ---> i like the vid :D

[@CB6JB12]

Great video! Just took the family to the LA area and cruised by your neck of the woods on hwy 99 👍🏻 your videos are appreciated

[@rhissian5260]

on a side note, good to see that china peak(somewhere in that region) got some snow this year, been a while since I've been in the cental valley.

[@mastathrash5609]

Some pretty wicked slugs!

[@cloudstrife6435]

I love it when you appear on my subscription feed. You make honest good videos, love it!

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@motosXorpio]

Gotta love Yeorg! Love the vids, Jeff.

[@ObjectivistGuitarist]

Awesome! Thanks guys.

[@taofledermaus]

I MUST have done something right for you to notice! lol thanks again!

[@ObjectivistGuitarist]

I follow your uploads anyway so it was a pleasant surprise when I heard it. We're not allowed guns here in the UK so youtube is about as close as we can get to seeing this stuff.

[@jaydonbrooker2908]

UK citizen here, actually you can get a gun here, you need a Shotgun licence for a shotgun, and a firearms licence for a rifle. I actually attend a shooting club every week, i do clay pigeon shooting, .22 target rifle shooting, and then just fun range days.

[@jaydonbrooker2908]

Oh, to obtain a shotgun licence you just need a clean record, to get a firearms licence you need a reason, such as you attend a shooting club. britishshooting.org.uk/getting-involved/find-a-club/?subtype=&location=

[@freshfowler1398]

Congrats on 1M Subs Jeff!!👍🍻🇺🇸

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@reggiep75]

We need some more goodness from Evan and a Commutator 2.0 vid with 2 put together and a steel core maybe.

[@Cammi_Rosalie]

I sit down. Open my browser, go to youtube. No notifications. Scrolling, I find a new Taofledermaus video. Click! Video ends. Another great addition to the list. Exit fullscreen, see new notification. Click... "TAOFLEDERMAUS uploaded: The BLACKHEAD 12g. slug - TESTED! (homemade) 28 minutes ago" Kinda late. KZbin takes the piss again.

[@RazorSkinned86]

Darn, I was hoping those wouldn't tumble... still they flew surprisingly straight!

[@anthonygraves5173]

Mattv2099 was the most operational operator on KZbin....RIP nerd

[@NoTimeForThatNow]

Woohoo! Saw my name on the Patrons list already, that was fast! I figured it would take longer for you guys to actually receive the money.

[@TheTeehee11111]

NoTimeForThatNow ikr, they're pretty damn fast!

[@Sharky762]

Congrats on the 1M+ subs! Well deserved!

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@alexmaclean1]

Awesome video again. I think with some tweaking of the balance and how it's held together that this could be something pretty cool.

[@Aaron.Reichert]

Is it safe for you to be shooting that with those mountains in the background? What if one of those shotgun rounds hits a mountain climber?

[@taofledermaus]

lol

[@alexanderthomas2660]

It could be even worse. What if it misses the mountain, enters a low Earth orbit, and hits the ISS?

[@JSchrumm]

cat's breath smells like cat food.

[@JeanMarceaux]

Alexander Thomas even worse still, what if it hits the ISIS?

[@alexbraun55]

I see what you did there

[@b1lbotbagg1nz17]

Glad to hear you guys are on board with the youtubers union

[@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG]

Great stuff Jeff, and a special thanks to Danny on lead shotgun! !

[@AMP_7]

Great as always !!! Thank you guys !

[@20alphabet]

Danny! A fine marksman!

[@kickapoo621]

i love this channel so much!

[@timetable620]

You should used cylinder shape wheel bearings as buck shot.

[@brianscott3021]

What if the bird catches the slug and drops it on one of the cars on that road

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

Brian Scott He gets a free ride! 🙄. 🇺🇸😎

[@TheKentuckyPatriot]

Love this channel! Taofledermaus=Awsomness! God bless and best wishes from Kentucky!

[@taofledermaus]

thank you very much!

[@MrHuggaga]

nice mountains you got out there ;D beautiful view!

[@glenwaldenhomestead8]

Friction between rubber and barrel may roll the rubber off the core. Maybe a shotcup that fully encases the rubber would keep them intact. Smoothbore too.

[@cecilwaters333]

I love all of your videos Jeff!! Keep on plugging!

[@Jaybird-vy7oh]

Don't you mean keep on slugging?!

[@cecilwaters333]

Jaybird3382 I meant that, but autocorrect sucks and I decided to leave it lol

[@STUCASHX]

3:50 Joerge Sprave ! lol. Nice impression.

[@coleblack784]

Union Buddies!

[@Mckay2455]

That’s just like my favorite pellet rifle round

[@elioliver9554]

I think maybe the rifling could have been a factor in the separation of the rubber from the core, but I think even through a smooth bore the rubber would grab the inside of the barrel so I think there should be a thin sleeve with less friction, like a .5mm plastic sleeve to help with that probkem

[@shaneupton1656]

intro was dope... great vid

[@stewartwatson9487]

Will there be a 1Mil sub special? :D

[@DR_SOLO]

Well done on reaching , 1,000,000 subs.

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@turiladun]

The best video ever would be to have OG and Danny shooting while also flying in Jeorg to show you their features in person.

[@taofledermaus]

lol

[@scottrosenthal1124]

Awesome as always! Keep it up!

[@M80Ball]

RIP Barry.

[@KirkHermary]

Keep up the great work!

[@MeleeTiger]

So, this is just an idea from someone who has no actual experience with guns or aerodynamics but. What if you used a tap to thread the inside of the tube at the rear of the steel slug, than placed a washer and screw to see if that holds the rubber on better? Might even fly better? I don't know, was just a random thought, would also slightly increase the weight.

[@jjak1990]

I remember that helicopter clip from one of your videos a long time ago, when I first started watching your channel.

[@MrJohnm1965]

jeff,danny great video!!!!!!!!

[@santiagomuller852]

That give me an idea. What about shooting several wooding, bodying, loving, woding (don't know) as a bullet? They look very tight.

[@TheOriginalCoolDad]

Yet another great video!! Thanks for keeping on despite the YT BS. Much love!!

[@taofledermaus]

thank you!!

[@Chris-vu1kh]

Another fantastic video

[@ConnorMainwold]

In the name of Jorg Sprave and the KZbinrs Union, united we stand!

[@CleanWhiteEvoX]

I hope your channel is safe after these new KZbin guidelines... Love your channel keep it up!

[@nicholassmerk]

I think you should compare each round (if able to) through a smooth bore (no choke) AND a rifled bore. I think the rifled bore and the rifled choke throws off the balance of a lot of the random rounds that you shoot.

[@jamesdewey3259]

OUCH. Cool try on those rounds. Great vids.

[@DR_SOLO]

Who could forget the Bissell missiles

[@skymcnugget1794]

Great video fellas

[@hilltop4847]

Great video! Music rocked!!

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@erikmisleh82]

All your videos are great. I am genuinely stoked when a new one comes out.. the comuntator fantastic... one day I will be able to afford to be a patron one day tfm

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@rottenf00d]

I'm wondering if the rifling caused the steel core to separate, I know inertia has a huge roll if not the only roll but I would have liked to see a smooth bore. If you get the chance to shoot the again see if you can pull the steel cores out cut an angled groove on each side hook them out slightly slide them back in nose first and see if they fish hook the rubber. Unfortunately I don't have machining equipment otherwise I'd love to send a modified replicant of these.

[@MrMudNugget]

DAnny sporting a dope ass shirt.

[@DirtyRobot]

Just noticed you busted 1M subs. Congrats dudes.

[@superjudgebunny]

I'll take a wager the cores stay in until they get outside the barrel and the rubber outside stretches. Wind fills the gap probably causing separation as the rubber slows due to drag. Then instability drifts them further. Glue them in place or something to keep that rubber on the metal, something like that.

[@jamesgant88]

Awesome video as always! Cheers from NM!

[@hakrj12]

Is it ever not "Jeff" of Taofledermaus?

[@mensb1936]

Mike R Yes

[@johnathanpoloka2072]

A 22lr shell fits perfectly in place of a 209 shot shell. Load some shells with a 22 round and see if it will work for a primer

[@taofledermaus]

It won't work because the firing pin will just hit the center of the .22 when it needs to strike the rim to set it off.

[@andrewgeier83]

Love the videos, great job guys, the only downside is the videos feel like they are neutered without the load info and videos, youtube is getting more and more radically liberal by the day. Sad times are ahead my friends...

[@drrocketman7794]

It works like an early APCR except that it came apart.

[@rightleg5920]

Nice guys! Freakin love the channel.

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@alektad]

That bird like to live dangerously

[@designworksdw1949]

4:32 This is how Jeff clears his tevo recordings

[@SarntRexxo]

Some pretty neato slugs

[@UnDeaDCyBorg]

So, I got a question. Given that these slugs are heavy on the inside, and light on the outside, what's the point in having them spinning? Won't all the rotational energy go waste? I mean, sure, these might have been equally inaccurate through any other barrel, but I'm not sure the rifling helped here.

[@RiasGremory1337]

back with the Jörg references :D

[@CommodoreFan64]

Awesome 1 million subs, and these rounds did slightly better then I though they would.

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@CommodoreFan64]

No, thank you for the awesome videos. :-)

[@drutsmith]

Nice. Take a slow mo shot from 90* to the gel. Does the shock wave penetrate before the slug?

[@shawnadams1965]

Love the T-Shirt Dan, where did you purchase it?

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

Shawn Adams Wally World. After Halloween. 👍🏻. 🇺🇸😎

[@shawnadams1965]

Thanks! I've been in Germany for more than a few years since getting out of the Army, so no Wally Worlds for me :-) Have to see what my Sister can do...

[@dc7370]

Good one

[@Theskidjesus]

Great video by the way

[@jackwalter4000]

Great photography. Quick question..... if the projectile stays in the hull, why do you still role crimp the shells? It’s a serious question. Thanks

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

Jack Walter Helps to build up pressure. 🇺🇸😎

[@berniejordaan9337]

Was the separation not caused by the rifling inside the barrel??? What would happen when shot out of a smooth bore???

[@swgard1]

Toafledarmaus if there was a lip on the back of the steel core it would be less likely to discard the rubber

[@paulchristenberry5140]

QUESTION: I have heard that if you shoot buckshot at a brick wall at a certain angle that it will travel down the wall only a few inches off the wall. Is this true and can you do a video on it?

[@rednekdiesel]

I hope the new KZbin guidelines don't cause issues with your channel I'll miss it

[@jwellz3622]

Wow make more videos like this those are my favorites

[@johnwhauserman]

Stuff like the this should have some CA glue run around the connection points front and back to stop the separations, it's how I keep my slugs together.

[@taofledermaus]

I find that contact cement works well because it is less prone to shock failure

[@sbblakey]

Credits, baby!

[@SpenReyn]

Woot 1 MILL!

[@pinhead3030]

There's hope for gun channels again. i watched one yesterday it was a sponsored by a downloadable game for cellphones
