The Enigma - Shock wave stabilized slug
🕑 Added 2020-01-29 06:57:56 +0000 UTCLet's try this again. If you got double notifications of this and got an error on the first one, it is because as soon as I posted it here a copyright claim was put on the video and I had to re-edit, re-render, and re-upload the video.
Anyway, this is a strange homemade slug by Evan. It's quite light at around half an ounce or 16 grams. Instead of using spin, fins, drag, etc. for stabilization, it uses its own shock wave to keep the nose pointed forward. We definitely geek out in this video.
Naturally we used a 12ga to propel these but EVERY "homemade" slug video gets demonetized -UNLESS- we simply claim we aren't using a firearm in the video. I love the science of viewer created slugs and would hate to give up on the "you make it we mach it" series.

Ah, we did those last year or so. They didn't work very well but were entertaining. lol

I should also clarify the recycling places won’t take them because they were pressurized they can’t accept them because if some of them aren’t empty it’s extrmely dangerous, so I’m just trying to find a use for them
Gino Spingolo
Damnit I pressed it early again, but either way, I don’t have to send them to you, you can go buy some if you want, just make sure they are empty. I just noticed it fits perfectly in a 12 gauge shotgun barrel and I know people that are sitting on thousands of these things so if there’s some use other than chucking them in the trash it would be nice

Sorry I hit send early on that last comment, but here’s a pic for reference https://images.app.goo.gl/JptdV9P3Jz9Kkksm6.

They’re slugs! Kind of, they’re whippet canisters.

So far I have 4 of his designs up. I'd say they are safe for work.

Hey Tao, I just became a supporter to let you know I care. I also have something I would like for you to test out, where would I send these badboys to?

Some of my favorite channels are falling into the hole of sponsorship. Half the video is thanking the sponsors. And of course there is also that not so subtle product placement. And they still use Patreon. I guess covering all your bases is a way to go. So what's this shirt that OG designed and is it safe for work?

The baseball shot reminded me of two friends that worked as Sky Marshals (in the early to mid ‘70’s), and then U. S. Customs Agents, that taught me to play golf. With; ‘72 Colt Trooper .357 w/8” Python barrel. 157 grain slugs. (Most accurate w/o scope) (Mucho trigger work) Glock 17 (modded), 115 grain slugs, +P++. (Favorite for beer can racing) Thompson Contender w/10” .357 Max barrel, 157-180-210 grain slugs, 4x scoped for 200-300 yrds Thompson Contender 14” ported 45-70 Govt +P+ 325-525-680~grain slugs. (for long drives 200-400 yds), (Scoped for 300-600 yds). Ruger Mkii, recrowned, worked trigger, & 25mm red dot for putting. Working on a Ruger 10/22 22” stainless barrel in a Manlicher stock, with tru-glo globe front sight & Williams peep rail with the fiber ghost ring, & maybe a mid power scope to spot. Reactive targets are the best!

If you're giving away the softball, count me in.

FYSA, it didn't appear on my main YT page, but the notification appeared on the list. Get the bell on! (as the How Ridiculous crew likes to say) Also, I'll toss my name in the hat for the softball. It'd be a perfect addition to my new man cave.

I always had a soft spot for that weird 80's Euro-electro-disco-pop song you used to use. :-)
If it wasnt for Patreon I wouldnt know about this video. I never get alerts on YouTube for this channel which is both entertaining and informative, not just destructive. Another channel I like which is usually purely destructive I still get notifications for. YouTube really is FUBAR.

That last shot blew my mind. As if getting that thing to fly straight wasn't enough.

Glad to be the gasoline to fuel your engine.

I like how you have been able to get permission to use other youtuber's music. I'd love to hear some of my favorite video game cover artists on here.
Shawn Hlebasko
Aha, that makes sense, YouTube is quick on that.
TAOFLEDERMAUS
It must have been some of the music. I just need to stick with the YT library stuff to be safe.
Shawn Hlebasko
I got the notification, got interested, but nothing in the patreon feed. Thanks for the explanation, copyright claim isn't the problem I thought you'd have.
