October Winner! - Grant Lanning
Thanks you Grant! As requested by a few of you, I had Gregg, Danny and myself sign this. I have a few more of these F-111 panels and if people are interested, we can give more away. thanks everyone who entered and for your support.
SometimesYoutube videos give people bad ideas....
We test out some TP body armor based off some YT videos. But the process to make this is a little different. Too bad it didn't work because it would have been nice to be able to make effective armor that doesn't require any special equipment, is readily available, and is dirt cheap.
Testing homemade body armor from Hong Kong
In this video we test out some aluminum plates a Hong Konger sent us to see if it will stop pistol rounds. thank you Patrons!
Heavier Hitter Smoke-Tracer Slugs
Hi everyone. in this test we try some slugs that Kip from Warwolf sent us to test out that are supposed to be used by forestry workers to start back fires. They were accurate, they delivered a LOT of energy, but they did not start fires. They did leave consistent smoke tracer effects though. As as experiment, we filmed this the old way, showing the gun and all that to see if it will ever get monetized. If not, we may need to go back to NOT showing any guns since that silly strategy has actually ...
Dangerous pro-driven death-traps of the early 1900's
Hi everyone. Been plagued with production problems, people not available to film with and camera issues. This gave me a chance to show you this collection of contraptions that would never pass OSHA's safety standards today.
One of my favorite SR-71 stories
Danny and Gregg have not been available to film with for the last couple of weeks so it gave me a chance to post this really cool story about an SR-71. This story isn't well-known but it really has a big plot twist at the end that will give you a chuckle. thanks everyone!
Lead plate impacts from 2015 to present
In this video we show almost every lead plate shot, way back when the plate was smaller and the HS cameras were low quality. Things have changed and improved for the better. Patreon support has helped us get the Chronos camera, which was given to me but I insisted on reimbursing because we use it so much. thank you supporters!
Testing Danny's old Sears .22 Long ammo
Well, it's been demonetized as soon as I uploaded it. thanks again for your support.
Goodie Give-away Sept!
Hi everyone. It's been a few months since we've had a give away. I got a warning for giving away the cannons and other things that go boom. Not a big deal, my interpretation of their rules didn't jive with theirs. What we have here is one of the F-111 panels that Dutchsince sent us and we shot in a couple videos. It can be easily hung on a wall using a push pin or two. It was manufactured in 1986, made out of aluminimumium. It was shot with some of the exploding Heavy Hitters and oth...
Mini Heavy Hitter - War Wolf's newest slug
You probably saw the other test video showing these a couple weeks ago. Here we test them through a smooth bore and also a full rifled shotgun. thanks again everyone!
Opening and Dating and old shotshell box
Thank you for your continued support. We filmed some shooting stuff today I'll be posting in a few days.
12 gauge beanbag rounds. (viewer requests)
We did a video around 3 years ago about these and lately we've gotten a lot of views from people in Hong Kong. I asked them to give me some suggestions of what to shoot at. Apparently a woman protester was shot in the goggles with one of these rounds and it blinded her. We show how little protection these types of goggles have. thank you everyone for continuing to support us.
Slug with wooden sabot - You Make it - We Mach it
An interesting, hand-built project by Saar from Israel. He used sabots made out of wood instead of plastic, etc. I wasn't sure if the wood would hold up very well. Heck, I'm wrong a lot too.thank you again everyone for your support!
Danny's old box of .22 Long ammo
Danny surprised me the last time we got together and whipped out this old box of Sears ammo a neighbor gave him. This was made between 1932 and 1933. Sears used a few different manufacturers for their ammo and tended to change the designs of their boxes every few years, from 1927 to 1979. thank you Patrons!!
Just for Patrons: NEW Mini Heavy Hitter test
Warwolf sent us some of these newly designed shorty shells to test out. thank you every for your support!
Viewer Request! Shoot the 90 year old .22LR!
I asked you if you wanted to see us shoot this old ammo. Most people wanted us to. A few people said we should put it in a museum. We thought we'd have a broader reach if we showed the world if these would still work and how well they might work instead. thank you Patrons!!
Brenneke Magnum Crush - Suitable for dinosaur
As I mentioned in a previous video, I am one of few unlucky creators in the new Self-certification program on Youtube. You answer questions about what might be offensive to advertisers. One question is directed at firearms. No firearms, no problem. If you claim there is a firearm in the video, I learned the video automatically is demonetized, even if you haven't added a title, description, tags, etc. I'm hoping it will get reviewed and approved. Anyway, there is no reason not to at least...
Depression-era .22lr ammo - well preserved
Danny and I will be filming TOMORROW so don't freak out. I just wanted to show off this very old box of ammo. It promised to prevent your bore from rusting, but was basically just coated with cosmoline. What a mess!
Viewer donates rifles to Gregg's 4H club!
After seeing Gregg discuss his involvement with 4H, Scott contacted me about donating some rifles to Gregg's 4H club. Thanks!
Lead-filled balloons at supersonic speeds
Thank you again for supporting us here. If you are wondering why we haven't had any give aways, I got a pretty harsh warning from Patreon about those and got a good lecturing, but luckily they did not punish us for it.
Teaching kids gun safety through the 4H Club
Gregg talks about his 4H club.
Rossi Circuit Judge
Another oddball we can actually buy in California. What's unique about this is it comes with a "straight rifled choke" to help with the shot pattern.thank you Patrons!
Huge disintegrating PVC slugs
We have another creation by Evan. How well will PVC work? Also, we see how well a really long, flat-faced slug performs. Thank you again for your support!
RIA VR80
I was surprised to learn that we can get semi-auto, box fed shotguns in CA. But it has a catch, just like AR's, to make it "legal" you have to break the action open to remove the mag. Thanks again for your support!
Water bottle cap thingie challenge.
Danny wanted to do this challenge. Here ya go! Not sure how you'd rate this as we didn't know what the rules were.
Bulletproof Toilet Paper from Finland
HPC/BTP sent us this a few months ago and we finally tested it. We were surprised how well it worked! thank you Patrons!
Ceramic Shotgun Slugs- Outstanding properties
Evan made some slugs out of ceramic insulators found in microwave oven magnetrons. They don't have a fancy, aerodynamic shape by any means, but had outstanding stability even without spin. thank you Patrons!
Mega-Mouth Slug - It shouldn't fly well but...
The latest design by Evan. I didn't think we'd be able to hit the broad side of a barn with theses.
California AR-Pistol? Yes it exists
Gregg talks about his AR pistol and how it is totally legal.
All Patrons not getting notifications
A couple people have told me they haven't gotten any notifications and/or can view the videos when I post them here early. I don't post anything for any select tier or anything like that. I appreciate everyone equally. I just select ALL the tiers. If you don't get a notification, I suspect you have a "custom" amount you are donating that doesn't fall into the 4 tiers. I'll start selecting "Patrons Only" and see if that fixes this. Sorry for the confusion.
