We Test the Terrifying Ultra-Perforator Shotgun Slug

[@brolohalflemming7042]

If people understood just how dangerous the Welsh Rabbit is, they would understand the need for this slug. Many knights have fallen to this savage beast, and they're usually hunted by elite forces using very specialised hand grenades from Antioch. These have been in short supply due to global supply challenges, so it's good that there's now something completely different. Especially as the Welsh Rabbit is delicious on toast.

[@jamesblue8332]

First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

What a tremendous slug! I never realized that over gassing could provide such instability. Great video guys!

[@FeedMeMister]

It's the relationship between projectile mass, explosive acceleration vs projectile inertia, barrel length, and twist rate.

[@In-Marty-We-Trust]

Looking at the warped sabots I wondered if it has anything to do with the strength and durability of the sabots. If so…maybe stronger (but not harder than the barrel) sabots could work? With KE = 1/2MV^2 velocity and the contact area with the AR500 plate would be the biggest factors to penetrating the armor.

[@nathank4708]

Yeah over gassing is a pain in the butt, when you shart.😂

[@eclipsegst9419]

i wonder if adding a 5th layer, of lead, rather than needing plastic inserts would let it go faster without destabilizing?

[@In-Marty-We-Trust]

@@eclipsegst9419 a 5th layer of lead. Not 100% but it could be awesome! 1. It’s soft and grips on. 2. Rotational energy is retained mainly on the outside edge of rotation (like a flywheel). However I doubt it would stay on. Also wouldn’t want it as a sabot as sabots are meant to increase the diameter adding as little weight as possible only to fly away.

I have a strange idea but it might help you with misses and recovery of fragmentation. A large kevlar curtain draped loosely over a rope that is suspended across two poles, you'll want as much width and height behind the target that you can get, and the thickest kevlar you can get ahold of. This will help deflect the rounds into the ground, and reduce their impact energy by a lot, increasing chances of recovering intact projectiles.

You can see the steel core in the slow mo. Back left. I rewinded it and looked. Super cool
