Slingshot produced a velocity similar to the first round you fired, but was the entire bullet instead of just the projectile. Which means it impacted with more energy, which also means the slingshot produced more energy.

for reference, most indoor paintball fields have a restriction of 250 ft/s or less. outdoors fields or forested fields can go upwards of 500 ft/s with paintball markers. kind of interesting when you think about it, and how much the shape, type of material, etc comes into play for lethality with speed.

I was hit by a ricochet that cracked my rib and left a really nasty purple bruise. Based on your test i would say it was probably moving around 300fps. It didnt make it through my sweater but it left a cloth pattern imprinted in my skin in the exact shape of a 9mm that hit sideways. I still have the bullet. Dont shoot at an indoor range that looks like it hasn't been maintained. The bullet baffels at the end of the range had been destroyed but the owner of the range just put up rubber panels to hide it.

[@99Knytes]

Considering majority of standard pressure .45 ACP runs between 800 and 1000 fps...I figured you were going to reach the threshold pretty quick. Plus, those rounds that went in about 2 inches or so, while not reaching the medically prescribed 3 inches for lethal damage, you still have a hole punched into the thoracic cavity that may be possibly filling up with red dyed scooter oil, or sucking in air. So you should still go see the doctor.

Can somebody calculate the „muzzle energy“ from the slingshot? I mean: it managed 153 fps with the whole hollow point round. Some american friends know how much the whole round weighs? Edit: If the first rounds are 115gr hollow point - the whole round might be around 185-190gr (60gr brass, 5-6gr. blackpowder - 5gr primer) therefore: Slingshot - 13,02 Joule

Two thoughts; 1/ Smaller calibers may be lethal at lower speeds than large calibers, due to less surface area to disperse the force (higher penetration). 2/ It's probably important to simulate one or two layers of clothing, like GT did in his "How deadly are shotguns?" video.

[@mrbreck1]

If i remember correctly the old 2 inch 38 special revolver round were around 700 fps. Plenty of lethal hits from those pistols over the years. I also recall an incident where a man was hit in the forehead and the bullet did not penetrate but lodged under the skin over bone. I recall hearing of several more where the bullet traveled around the skull following the bone after an oblique hit in the forehead area. Myth busters did a couple episodes on ballistic, mostly falling rounds and iirc they decided a projectile would have to be going over 200 fps to break skin.

[@RadiantMistborn42]

Scott, to complete your journey in the big bore world, I believe you need to get your hands on a .500 Bushwhacker revolver. It is said to be twice as powerful as .500 S&W Magnum given comparable barrel lengths. Top that off with a .600 Overkill rifle, which is said to be the most powerful round capable of being fired from a standard hunting action.

Very interesting results. The average velocity out of a two to three inch barrel pocket 9mm is 850 to 900 fps so this was good results at fifteen to twenty feet for self defense. The 4 gauge is a cannon and you know Scott pulled the table, that thought it escaped, out of the woods, and drove over it with his truck. Silly table should have stayed in the trees.

In Canada, it's not just the FPS of the projectile but also the energy that dictates wether something is a firearm or not. I've always heard that anything 500fps or more is considered lethal, but that probably depends on the overall mass of the projectile. A 12 gauge slug traveling at 500fps is probably lethal at close range. I think there are too many factors to consider. That's just my two cents.

@CtrlAltRetreat Interesting. The typical less lethal bean bag round is 1.4oz of shot going around 300fps. Possibly lethal if it hits your head or chest due to blunt force trauma. I'm curious about the minimum requirements of a piercing wound that could be fatal. I guess it comes down to the point/shape of the projectile, speed, weight, and the ability to carry its mass through tissue and bone to create a fatal wound. I'd imagine a 230 grain .45acp ball round and .230 grain pointed FMJ boat tail round moving at the same speed would have different penatration results in a clothed human torso at those speeds.

Would love to see tests on theoretical max protection. Shield, layers of body armor, what could realistically be used and still have someone able to walk around. Always wonder what the limits of protection is. Ive seen tests on individual components but what about fully decked out gear?

[@jonanderson5137]

Run. Every day. With gear. Be in your 20s. Workout a lot. Very doable. There's a reason teams only get fully decked out very shortly before being active and it's not for fashion. There's always a trade-off.

Slingshot Scott: I fire the *_'whole_* bullet. That's 60% more bullet, per bullet.

[@budgetbuyoutmisc.4916]

I like the fact that you used the nearly identical 9 millimeter hand guns I really liked the black 4 inch version also cool video thank you you definitely answers a curiosity of mine well 2 actually because I was wondering about those sling shots

[@bruceowens3614]

Hands down Scott, you have the best and funniest intro’s! And btw, even though I usually know when it’s coming….. your mushroom cloud inserts still cause me damn near mess my shorts most of the time. Good times man, good times😂

[@randybowers1798]

Sweet video thanks Scott! I love these ballistic zombie torso videos 😎

[@brettmorton7365]

So only recently found this channel... so much fun to be had! I love your work Scott, as you obviously do too. That accident you had... wow! You seem to be doing well tho... Gidday from Australia 🇦🇺 I'm writing this upside down so you can read it too..

[@zachariahgore8490]

I know it's not your usual foray. But what about the lethality of BB guns and pellet guns that shoot in those higher FPS levels? Example, I have a pellet rifle that shoots 1200 fps, and a CO2 pistol that shoots 400 to 500 fps (depending on how fresh the tanks are and type of BB's being used)? How would these compare to the test you just ran?

[@vinnyvtec8722]

I'd find that interesting too. I'm in the UK where we are only allowed up to 6ftlb energy on air pistols and 12ftlb on air rifles unless you get a firearms license. 12ftlb on an air rifle is about 600fps in .22 (5.5mm) and 800fps in .177 (4.5mm). For the air pistol at 6ftlb it's around 425fps with a .22 and 600fps with a .177. I guess though because they are a lot lighter than an actual bullet they would penetrate but not create anywhere near the same energy and would stop at minimum resistance. I think this would be really interesting to see on a zombie, furby or even better a zombie furby 😂.

[@zachariahgore8490]

@@vinnyvtec8722 Exactly! That's what I'd like to know. Having a projectile at the same fps but obviously way smaller mass. Could it be just as lethal or not?

[@MrEhcks]

Wow that was a great and informative episode! Was wondering when the 4 gauge was gonna come back!

[@kenth548]

Scott, your entro’s always make me laugh. Love your channel

Hey Scott I love your content and I’ve been watching you for a while and your the best KZbinr ever

[@darkspectrum2920]

I enjoy all your videos and they have just the right amount of stupid, crazy, and science for the addaf people like me. Your a mad lad. Keep it up. Fly me out there.

[@fizzyfizzgigcouple957]

I love how this dudes like yeah it went through and through but it's not lethal

[@TheIrishEdge216]

I love how Scott just skipped over the mag falling out when he shot the 4 inch barrel.

[@Braeden-wf2rw]

Hey Scott I love everything you do I also finally got to shoot the 700 nitro pistol it hurt so much. Thank you for everything and don't forget about WATERMELON TIME!!!!

[@zackkullis5555]

Scott!!! LOVE the content as always!!! Hey, speaking of ballistic insanity and table thumping fun, you should see if you can get your hands on a. .950 JDJ (not very many around) and create some beautiful mayhem!

[@omegagamer111]

Scooter saying “cappin” was the last thing I expected to her but the only thing I needed

[@River_Cook]

I love how excited he got when he shot it with the slingshot

[@timserjeant6880]

Hey Scott, your videos are awesome. I was wondering if you could test a 338 Lapua on a zombie torso and different items to see if there's a difference between hunting vs. target ammo up close.

[@Ste_Brit]

I’m at the start of the video but even an air rifle can be lethal depending on the make and model and also where it strikes a person. This should be good 😊👍

[@nomore3115]

Your really got me at the "4..." part

[@datcookiedough7255]

Scooter is every Scott's alter ego. Speaking from experience.
