The 8 Penny Shotgun Slug of the Apocalypse - TESTED!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 жов 2023
- Today we test an interesting 12ga. slug that is simply made out of pennies- but using science. The slug is designed to be ballistically-stabile without any spin at all.

It's my understanding that YT now prevents people from using ad-blockers, which I don't agree on, but to lessen the annoyance of the ads I removed about 4 mid-roll ads that YT automatically stuck in there. If I can I still make a little money with fewer ads, I can probably remove more ads. Remember, the ads help pay my bills so I appreciate your understanding.
Understood
Very courteous 🎉
Sounds good to me

For the first time ever, ammo that gets cheaper the worse the economy gets.
How? no matter the economy 8 cents is still 8 cents

@@jimmyjam710it's still 8¢ but it can't buy as much as it could last year. The joke is the money keeps losing value so it gets cheaper every day.
That gives new meaning to the phase, "Money Shot!"
The combination of Jeff's "magic bullet" and Greg's amazing marksmanship shot them green beans into the next dimension!
To hell with your two cents! I got eight right here!

I would like to see the ballistic gel test done again but with the pennies stacked without glue
I would like to see you watch the video.
I would like to see more testing with the unglued pennies. Great video!
PENNY SHOT:HUNT SHOWDOWN EDITION
@@jeffcouncilor6621 The stack in the ballistic gel was a glued stack.
I would like to see more shot that are not glued
"Here comes the money shot" he said before shooting this round
Certainly that's the fastest Abraham Lincoln has ever gone.
Penny home defense.... officer: did you shoot the intruder? Response: No Sir. but he did steal a bunch of coins from me by hiding them in his body 🙂
Penny pinchers beware
Officer he demanded my money, so I gave him all 8 cents.🤨
shut up and take my money
“give me all your money”
“Take it”
Gave them a penny for their thoughts
Those eight-penny slugs are not only impressive, they're obviously worth every penny! Well done Jeff! 👍 And, good shooting, OG! 👍
Thanks Tony! 🤘😎
thanks Noah!
Best comedic comment ever. Hahahah😂😂😂
nice!
Not only impressive, but rich in potential. You could drill a hole in the stack, shove in a nail and bind it all together with putty. You can cut notches in the Pennie’s for potentially better flight, plus, the way they’re rounded, you could fit wax and shot in a chamber made with 2 pennies for more weight, again drilling a hole through the center to keep the chamber connected to the penny stack.
I'd be interested to see them soldered together, especially the old copper coins.
I was thinking the same thing, you could easily increase the weight to one oz with solder, and they’d be bonded quite well. Solder each one individually of course and the overall height wouldn’t increase that much. I guess at that point it would just be a copper Foster slug though.
Copper has a unique ability to pressure weld. The first stack of pennies that you used were loaded loose but by the time they left the barrel it was a single cohesive slug.
When Greg accounts for aereolus effect... does he end up with purple nurples!?
lol
He has to make sure they are good and solid before firing his load lol
He used the pennies as tactical nipple armor which is also the name of his band.
@@gregthomson7516 Areolas effect was my stripper name.
They didn't just nail it with these slugs, they 8-penny nailed it!
I see what you did there
I don’t like it but I see it
"Make like a baby, and head out!"
You guys always make me laugh
From now on, if you use hot glue, I think you should be obligated to use some glitter as well! Once the glue cures, you might be able to tap a stainless screw through the nose for a possible penetrator. Also, if you plan to continue testing on this line and want to boost velocity but are worried about flight separation, you might be able to maximize the glue effect by sticking the formed slugs in an Easy-Bake-Oven nose down for a bit to help even out coverage. GREAT video! Thanks guys! Be safe out there.

That is probably the cheapest projectile available. They're also lead free.
Commiefornia approved.
I can finally eat my rounds without having to worry about ead poisoning
@@negative6442 And you can get 12 rounds for a buck. Add the primer, powder, wads, reloading press and some labor, you save lots of $$$.
Just don't use for home defense. Only use store bought ammo.
I love OG's sense of humor. Pretty cool, when i worked for Fedex, i made a knife out of 4 gift cards glued together, and used a bench grinder to make it serrated. I had to pass through a metal detector, the guards never found that knife
I'd probably have used it as an excuse to buy a 3d printer. Some print mediums are pretty durable and it would be fun designing 'work knives.' 😂
that work place sounds like a prison to me.
At that point, it's not a knife, it's a shank.😆
@@nobeltnium it is to prevent theft, a lot of valuables are shipped via FedEx
@@UmmmmmmmWhat I did that in 2009, not many 3D printers back then
It's nice to see that you were able to turn the tide using the strong application of common cents.
Have never been disappointed by any of your video's. Even those with many failures are entertaining and educational. The performance of the pennies was very interesting, not what I expected. Thank you for great content.
thanks richard
I've been watching since the days of shooting wingnut screws at locker doors, we've done stacks of coins a few times now. It was cool seeing new variables thrown in.
thanks! Yeah, the goal isn't just to shoot weird stuff, but to shoot weird stuff with the goal being stability and accuracy.
@@taofledermaus it's the ultimate field expediency 👌
@@taofledermausdemolition ranch used a lot of shotguns in his early days of UA-cam but he wasn’t doing it to test and see what projectiles were ballistically stable he was more just seeing if the shotgun would explode or what he could eventually do to make the shotgun explode. He did shoot some nuts or washers but he never cared about getting slow motion video of the projectiles in flight or anything. Your channel has always had an emphasis on ballistics and getting good shots of the projectiles in flight and proper load data.
Nobody likes eggplants! Shoutout to Kentucky Ballistics.
Great video as usual, I loved the extra bit at the end explaining the process, testing and the water drops, it would be cool to see more of them in the future, it really helps visualise what the slugs are doing
You videos with Greg are some of the highlights of my week, always fun and entertaining, thank you!
Happy to hear that!
I caught my dad chewing pennies and spitting them out.
I said, "Dad, what the hell are you doing?"
He replied, "Im making us rich, son."
"How?" I asked
"Simple," he said, "I'm making bit coins"
What do you call a penny that thinks for itself?
Centient.
Most people just give their two cents, you gents give us 4x that.
I found a guy that sells something he calls a penny punch. It resizes the penny to 7.25 and puts a dome in it for stacking in 12 gauge shot shells for the DIY slugger community.
I have seen a s-ton of your videos. This one was entertaining and fun as hell! Thanks for all the production work on these!
thank you Mark!!
OG is Looking good! Brother has been working hard on getting his weight down!
Ive been looking forward to seeing a succesful coin stack projectile. Excellent work!
thanks!
As have I, ever since Resident Evil when they asked, "what's all the quarter for?" Then you see they were loaded into shells and fired towards the end of the movie.
@@nativewarrior5052 yea I have to confess that I have had a real curiosity since seeing the performance of the coin shot in Res evil
Great video & great idea!
OG Gregg is too funny. All the best Taofledermaus vids have OG Gregg quippin'!
Good to see OG looking pretty casual. Thanks guys!
I've always loved your videos but this one takes the cake. Glad I stick around till the end for your process and I might have even found a use for all the pennies that are hardly worth putting in sleeves.
Give it a try! It would probably cost more in gas taking the pennies to the bank!
I agree, I found this episode of fun with guns totally fascinating.
18:56 wow 6 inches is pretty long. 5 inches must seem just about as long if you aren't measuring, right fellas?
Found your videos a few days ago. Love y'all content! Subbed
Awesome! Thank you!
I liked this video as much or more than any of your past videos, which means that I think it was a great video and highly entertaining!
Thanks to you and OG!
Cool, thanks!
Now that was just flat out fun to watch! Love Ballistics both internal and external. But still a little shade tree designing and experimenting is always interesting. Doesn't always work, but when it does, it is a Hoot!!!
Thanks Guy's!

but
thank you very much Michael
Impressive ammo, Jeff made some penny dreadful slugs. OGs aim is to be commended too. Good post, thank you 👍
What a round! Total shock to me personally having seen the original dime shot back in the day. Good to see you back? OG!
Thanks. This was a very enjoyable video. I was amazed at the accuracy of these penny slugs. Thanks again for all your hard work.
thank Bill! We were surprised too
Fascinating video! I love your creativity, as well as your and Officer OG's humor. A great youtube channel. Long may you reign.
thank you!
Using the same principle of making the cones. You could do the same with the steel slugs found on job sites when electrical contractors leave. (The knock out discs on panels and sockets).
These would be great slugs for hog hunting or even deer hunting in close.
IF they are the correct diameter.
They are the similar size to quarters, as a kid, with a Master Electrician Father, we used to be able to pass them off as quarters in vending machines, up untill mid/ late 90's lol.
And they work in gumball machines.
Super light weight though due to how thin they are. Probably half the weight of a penny. At least on panels. Some of the electrical boxes have somewhat thick ones.
I’m so proud you cracked the code on using coin currency as ammunition bud. I’d love to see you experiment on other coins. Even unglued, the pennies fly in a great column to mimic a slug. Rounding them like you did desperately needs more experimentation with other metals. I hope some machinists at watching and devising what’s best described here as a rounded disk column load.
Edit: after more views and brainstorming, I realize that you could drill a hole through the center of the stack and fit a nail or core inside, using putty to keep it all together. Plus, the way the pennies are rounded, you can also put two together to make a chamber you can fill with wax and shot for more weight, using a nail to again hold it all together.
Great video, subject, shell construction, shooting & commentary Jeff & OG, thank you!
thanks!!
They performed well they remind me from when I was younger when I lived at the lake I used to make a lot of different types of projectiles with hot glue and stuff inside of it I would mold it with whatever I wanted to send down range inside the glue not just for shotguns but also muskets and even 22rimfire blanks my favorite was slingshot ammo slugs I would take a metal ball bearing and drop it into hot glue melted in the shape of a slug in a mold made in Play-Doh from an actual slug and it would sink to the very nose of the slug mold which would keep it super stable in flight nose heavy like a dart
It really gums up the bore though a lot of cleaning required when using hot glue it will leave a new layer of film in the rifling every time not that hard to clean out though
Now I'm curious how the stacked pennies without any glue will do in the gel block. Considering the glued together stack didn't appear to tumble I expect the result would be similar, but I'm not confident enough to bet on that.
Great video..those penny slugs surprised the hell out of me..very accurate..awesome video..one of my favorites..keep em coming..thanks
thanks Eugene!
I always enjoy watching your videos. So very informative and entertaining. Keep up the great content.
thank you!
Weird, got green beans in my yard.
Those were some impressive results from you guys. Love your content. Keep up the good work.
thank you!
Great video!!! Been watching this channel forever. Good job.
thanks Luke!!
i've watched quite a few of yer'alls' vids, & this has been the best one yet, with all the engineering stuff for this load. slick!!
thank you Rodney!
Neat! Is it just me, or does Greg look younger? I am concerned that due to inflation, this ammunition loses quite a bit of value between when you fire it and when it hits the target. I am never tired of watching things get hit by a slug, and these ones look to be impressive!
It must be retirement. Like a kid again! 😊
Older and ungroomed.
He does ! It must be due to all the lovely warm English beer he necked on his recient holiday .........
Lost weight
Not only did you get some change when OG shot the lead plate, but you've created a very good long range can opener.
Another great ammo video. I do appreciate you guys for the very interesting videos you make for us! I am ready for some heavy slugs, maybe some made with brass and or tungsten. The ones with a piece in the center never seems to work, especially with the weights being different. I loved the ones with 12 ga Brass Lehigh Defense shaped slugs. Maybe use some 50 caliber sabot slugs from Lehigh defense. I'd love to see some holes all the way through the lead plate. OK, love your videos , always have , always will! Keep pulling those triggers.
They performed a lot better than I thought they would. This is always the most interesting kind of videos to me.
Thank you guys 👍🏻
It was quite a surprise for me too thanks!!
@@taofledermaus Several years ago I won a selection of projectiles that were used in videos on your channel. One of them was a stack of 'Yen coins?', which is somewhat similar to these ones but much lighter. I have those displayed on my youtube/nerd shelves 😉
8:59 "NOBODY LIKES EGGPLANTS!!"
Cheap and effective. Pennys on the head. Reason i have and do shoot stacked dimes is for they're patterns. Cover alot of area well. And if only 2 dimes hit what I'm fighting off then that's 20 cents worth it. Love this channel and i thank you guy's for doing such great work. Sometimes i believe the rumors about you two being in village people disco group. Great shooting officer Greg, hate to come up behind u àn say BOO, Jeff u do great work building a goòd slug, and fliming it all go down. 1000 outta 1000 big man! Cents not dollars tho.
Excellent video guys. I had high hopes for this when I saw the teaser on Facebook.
Thank! There's a ton of possibilities with these. Something you might even try. Glue 2 or 3 together so they eventually separate at 30 yards or so and become multiple projectiles, etc. A stack of 16 or 20 pennies is possible, etc.
@@taofledermaus We could definitely give it a go.
The water drop test was really interesting and shows again how much work goes on behind the scenes - thanks
Thanks! Yeah that test usually indicates whether or not we'll have stability or not
I think it would be a good thing to put in most videos for the slugs that are getting tested. A water drop test before the first shot to give some predictions.
This is a brilliant idea! Out of all the slugs you've shot I think these resized pennies are the most viable
I didn't dream they'd work this well to be honest. lol
@@taofledermaus I wonder how they'd work as a deer hunting slug?
Paracord slugs? One screw, wrapped with paracord. Melt it into shape with heatgun. Make a mold. You can do it! Great upload thx!
What?
Love it I was really interested that it stayed together. As always stay safe out there
Great video as always Jeff and OG. Pretty cool seeing a video that reminds me of your early ones
thanks!!
I do some craft stuff and gorilla hot glue works really well, that stuff is strong. It's kind of amber color. Not expensive either, got a pack of 38 or something for $8.
I should have mentioned that was exactly what I used. The coins still need to be pretty clean for a good bond.
10:01 It would be the best thing ever if someone, somewhere, found and mailed in a blimp shaped steel mold to fill with molten lead.
I really want to one day see a "Lead Zeppelin" gag. 😂
Look up “Lazy Dog” bomb/projectile, small lead bomb shaped projectiles dropped in large quantities from aircraft. Used in WWII, Korea, Vietnam.
There's no replacement for Greg's antics. Great video
The return of the finger wiggle!! Classic. Great stuff as always, keep em coming
thank you Robert
Did you try soldering them together? The weight would change. Better or worse?
No, I didn't want to make it any more difficult or expensive.
@@taofledermaus Time for you to call on your goldsmith fans to do some soldering and projectile making for you. They do this stuff all day.
Can we get a gel test on the pennies both glued and unglued?
I’d also like to see similar done with some copper sheet stock cut and swagged would do
I love the stuff you guys try. Thanks for all you do.
thank you~!~
Did not get notified for this.. great work!
Yeah that seems to be happening a lot. That and people getting un-subbed without their consent.
*An interesting (and cheap) follow up* would be to take cheap bird shot shells, dump the lead shot out onto a block of wood in shallow but bottomed holes in it, melt the pellets in place to become discs, then bend the lead discs to the correct size, stack + glue, then shove the resulting slug back into the same hull they came from, using the original powder charge, re-crimp and see how those do. Could a slug made from bent + stacked lead discs be as economical and perform better than wax slugs?
I'd say that you would be better off to cast the lead into a cone or do a cut shell
@@scrappydoo7887 Cut shells, unlike wax slugs, have a tendency to break when trying to cycle in a repeater. The point of OP's process is that it would be relatively easy to do with minimal tools whereas making a mold to cast the slug as a single unit would be much more difficult.
On Tuesday.
With inflation, the 8 cent slug now costs about -$22.00😂 profit!
excellent video, one of my favourites. keep up the good work and goofy humour
thanks Peter!
Jeff, is your glue gun rifled or smooth bore? This could affect the pattern of the glue. ;)
lol
I made a load for my beer can howitzer that has $4.50 in pennies , waiting for a camera and a microphone that is Downrange... I think it will sound crazy. I am getting almost 1500fps from A 2.2 pound can of concrete.
What's the barrel made from? Sounds fun!
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 seamless DOM tubing rated at 146,000 # pressure with a 3" breech , interference fit , cross pinned , and plug welded with 7018 H4 . I make a mortar too , that will put a can out 1/2 mile .
The materials have become hideously expensive over the last couple years. But it is all ordinance grade.
Great video gentlemen. I enjoyed it immensely.
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for explaining how you shaped the pennies in this project. I spend\t most of the video trying to come up with a way to do it. So simple, I didn't figure it out.
You are so welcome!
You need to get ahold of the government. You might be able to bail out the current Administration with its inflation problems😂
UA-cam has become soulless.
And it's all your fault...
Did it ever have a soul?
I know, it doesn’t make cents.
Jeff and OG y'all rock! 8 cents slugs, I'm impressed. Love the channel and content. Peace
thanks Benjy!
The negative pressure from the rear of the dome shape kept the loose penny's together, cool.
I commented on your last video.
Was just wondering if you would be able to test the ballistics and penetration of 9 mm hollow point 9mm hollow point with a steel bb I just thought you guys could make an interesting video with that😂❤
They probably would if 9mm was a shotgun...
I think it would push the steel through the bullet tbh
@@jake8960 fair lol
@scrappydoo7887 I figured the same thing on something. Litter steel target but I Just wanted to see what would happen with ballistics gel mostly
@@dylanharty4258 yea it'd still be a cool thing to see
good to see OG back!
Thank You for entertaining and educating us all
You are welcome
Good to see OG back.
There was some pretty impressive performances today from everything & everybody involved with todays ballistic experiment . Jeff's inventive brain conceived and allowed him to create a surprisingly accurate slug for literally pennies . OG once again showed that for all the ribbing He gets about his shooting his aim is spot on and the consistency of results proves the hits weren't just luck , and his sense of humour really exemplifies the fun so many shooters get from this great hobby/sport. Well done Guys . Thank You for yet another excellent entertaining and informative tutorial on the ballistic capabilities of unusual projectiles . Catch You next time . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well .
thank you Richard!
couldn't ask for a cleaner hit on them beans, props to the OG
A super fun and fascinating video at the same time. wow!
Really epic - I remember the old tests and expected the coins top disperse too.
Awesome shooting and precision hits... and of course the slow motion footage is superb as usual.
Wonderful video guys - really enjoyed it... (if you didn't get all the hype from the previous text, that is ;).
Thank you Saar. I hope you guys are staying safe!
@@taofledermaus we are good. Thanks! ❤️

Great video! Innovating idea using Pennie’s.
New meaning to short changed hehehe. Great video guys!
Thanks! 😃
I did not expect any type of accuracy out of these. Wow amazing another good production boys.
I went into it thinking they'd be "good enough" at 10 yards to be honest lol
Awesome video Jeff! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Once again Jeff, interesting and entertaining!
thanks Nick
Great vid guys, enjoyed it! Very interesting too. Penny slugs seemed super accurate!!
Louis Prima has entered the chat for some Pennies from heaven.
that board in the first shot is a great medium to shoot at for unstable projectiles. really shows nice detail of how they hit
Glad to see y'all made it back from your trip safe Greg.
Very interesting , I have watched you shoot several different types of homemade slugs and I think the penny slug was the best so far .
These sure surprised me!
