Triple Radial Bearing 12ga Slug - A Real Surprise

[@sheldoniusRex]

FWIW, those bearings are made to a higher precision than any mass produced shotgun projectile. Also, "unauthorized autobiography" has to be the most underrated comment in the history of OG's commentary on KZbin.

[@thepunadude]

FRANK ZAPPA HAD ONE

[@bryanrocker5033]

Yes they are and are normally made of pretty hard steel. It doesn't surprise me they were still spinning. The performance was similar to what a wad cutter would do.

About the Applesauce, here is what I found: It is, *technically,* a “non-Newtonian fluid”, which is, in the case of applesauce or ketchup, a fluid with solids suspended in it. It is also full of sugar, so the liquid part is also a kind of syrup, I.E. thicker than water, thus providing more resistance to the forces imparted on it.

[@screwfist]

Applesauce was around long before Newton invented the light bulb so of course its non Newtonian... But is applesauce magnetic? I'm going to invent magnetic applesauce that won't fall off a toddlers spoon and be rich beyond my wildest dream (singular). Maybe I can buy my own applesauce and get even more richerer!

@@screwfist Nelson didn’t invent the light beer!

Smooth bore with a rifled choke might impart spin on just the outer races as it would produce more of a snap spin after the core had established a fixed momentum. In theory anyway.

[@jordanrogers6804]

I think it'll be relatively impossible to prevent the core from spinning at all. I think your idea would be great for a greater difference in rotational speed between the core and outer race, but there is still some friction between all the parts, and inertia always wins.

[@Gunbudder]

theoretically, the 3-bearing slug should fly straighter after an impact compared to a normal lead slug. My thinking is that the center rod will continue to spin on impact, as the bearing stop spinning during penetration. After the whole assembly exits the target, the spinning center rod would transfer some of its rotational energy to the bearings, causing the whole assembly to spin again. In fact, i believe the center rod will spin even faster on impact when the outer bearing stop due to conservation of rotational energy. The video does show the bearing slug rotating after exiting the target. It would be interesting to compare this bearing slug to a solid lead slug of the exact same size (with the same sabot) and see if the lead slug is also rotating after exiting the target.
