UPK-2 - Russian Shotgun slug that dispatches nearly everything

We test out some more shotgun slugs you never heard of before, the Kontarev UPK-2. These Russian slugs look and perform very well as you will see. We tested these with and without any rifling, and could not see any different in the performance. Both were equally good.

[@taofledermaus]

The bullets of the UPK-2 can be ordered ­here: [e-mail]­ (you may write in English)­ Additional information about the bullet ­of the UPK-2 can be seen here: The manuf­acturer's page on the website Guns.ru Ta­lks - forum.guns.ru/forummessage/329/17­46059-0.html

[@OGsDangerShow]

Maxwell M, mind out of the gutter. It's a term used to describe splitting open the cranium of the enemy with a high-powered rifle shot. Used effectively on the Taliban the last decade and a half.

[@KnolltopFarms]

yes, the 'pink canoe' is in no way related to 'the man in the canoe'...taliban knows all about one and none about the other, hence the frustration at home for them.

[@elliotlake1882]

Gun laws in Russia: Carrying permits may be issued for hunting firearms licensed for hunting purposes. Initially, purchase is limited to long smooth-bore firearms and pneumatic weapons with a muzzle energy of up to 25 joules (18 ft⋅lbf). After five years of shotgun ownership, rifles may be purchased. Handguns are generally not allowed.

[@ordinarydevin]

[@rodiculous9464]

nice vid, you might be interested to know that shotgun culture is big in Russia due to the gun laws, it's relatively easy to purchase one as a civilian but rifles are a lot harder to obtain, thus you see a lot of designs that seek to get rifle-like performance out of a shotgun.

[@ArtisanTony]

The KGB will not be happy :)

[@taofledermaus]

AND the OSS!

[@johnruuu]

KGB's successors are the secret police agency FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) and the espionage agency SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service).

[@ThatMontmorency]

Absolutely incorrect. KGB has always been purely internal agency (FBI's counterpart, but without the Nazist connotations of FBI). Stories about "KGB agents" abroad have always been recognized in the Free World as rather asinine example of internal propaganda of the US regime. Meanwhile, foreign intelligence has always been handled by SVR. SVR is not in any way a "successor" or KGB, but rather a completely independent agency. It has always existed in parallel with KGB. Think of CIA (but, again, without the Nazist connotations of CIA).

[@ThatMontmorency]

Actually, it reminds me of an old bit from Steve Martin's standup comedy days. He was mourning his dead girlfriend, and the way the story starts out, we think maybe she drove drunk and was killed in a crash, but it turns out Steve shot her with a shotgun and "cut her right in half".

+TAOFLEDERMAUS Did your source mention why the creator didn't want the slug sent to the U.S.? I can't wait to see the other two slugs given your tendency to save the best for last! PS I HAVE to know what that giant trailer hitch actually is...

[@taofledermaus]

This is what he said, "I think Kontarev very worried about any negative opinion or comment about his products. I've seen a lot of unwarranted criticism in his direction, just because the bullets Kontareva is not given to other businesses to make more profit. So he tries to control comments, ratings and reviews. If possible of course. Your review he can't control, which is probably why there was such a reaction."

[@PP-kp6zs]

Look here "I think Kontarev..." - the man just suggested. And all... You didn't think what the creator of this bullets don't have no time to do? Corny, a lot of other important things?
