What did you think about today’s video? I hope you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Amazing
It’s a amazing vid!😊
the table falling at the beginning was just 😂
At 145 I'm probably in trouble 😂
Congrats if you got this far in scrolling.
Video idea:
Use two ballistic dummies and see what rounds would stop if they were a foot or more apart. The purpose is to mimic if you were standing behind someone and they happened to be shot. If you were at the wrong place at the wrong time for someone being shot in front of you. If it does pass through, what calibers would be fatal?
This comment deserves more likes that it has
My hypothesis is that at higher calibers like 7.62x39, .308 will hit the next person behind but 5.56 and lower maybe? Probably not because of yawing.
That's really how I see this video already. Hell, it's titled "Could Body Fat Save Your Life ??? (Can Body Fat Stop Bullets?)", nowhere does it specify who's body fat it needs to be.
That is a great idea. It's something I wonder about all the time. And I agree with the person who said your comment deserves more likes.
@@MrMcPotter 😂
I'm watching this at work from an ER. And I can assure you that "urban body armor" is a real thing. I literally just scanned a person who was shot, and the bullet traveled across their back fat and missed all their organs and spine. Love your videos!
Do you have any anecdotes over whether or not being absolutely Jacked has a similar effect?
Some people have backs 🤔
Fried chicken and Faygo armo
@@1stCallipostle muscle is very dense, so it would have a similair effect (probably a fair bit better for the equal amount of volume) but it's way harder to pack on a significant amount of muscle compared to packing on fat. And the muscles over the abdomen just can't get super big. Someone with Schwarzenneger esque pecs (seriously go look at him when he was at his peak as a bodybuilder, he dropped a lot of muscle mass when he became an actor. Those pecs where like watermelons sitting on his ribcage) might have a chest shot stop, depending on the caliber but a gut shot even then would be unlikely.
There's a story I've seen going around a few times before- I could never find a source so it probably isn't true, but you may find it interesting regardless- about Sergio oliva (another bodybuilder, similair to arnold in size) getting shot in the chest with either a 38 special or 357 magnum depending on who's telling the story and it being stopped by his pec.
Personally, My thoughts are if it happened at all it was probably a dud shot where only the primer went off, or maybe a light 38 load. No way I would believe a full power magnum would be stopped by just his pec, impressive as it may be.
Good to know that the er’s arent packed full..
Nikocado is invincible
lol!!!
What about CaseOh?.
I was just thinking this
As a person who lost 100 lbs recently I learned that my fat was protecting me quite a bit. My ribs feel so exposed now and I constantly find myself banging my hips on doors accidentally.
Yeah but would you rather have a higher risk of getting serious health problems or bang ur ribs from time to time ?

I don't wanna know why people is here and for what reason.
I just want to say, i was introduced to this channel by the slo mo guys. I know nothing about guns, never even touched one. I enjoy your personality and randomness a lot; the intros, the table throwing, running things over, kicking things over, Councilman Jamm, etc. Binged a lot of your videos the past few days. Keep it up scott
Same here!
Get a gun, learn how to use it!👍👍
Same with me but I found his channel a few months ago
@@lllFoXlll420 and garand thumb
@@Zygoatgamer I was about to say, can't forget Garand Thumb 🤙
The fact Scott did this when it's starting to get hot shows his dedication and grit let's all just take a moment of silence to thank him for dealing with the smell
As a minor German, your channels are the only way I can see something like this. Thank you for it.
Don’t sell yourself short. I’m sure you are a great German.

Scott’s reactions when he shoots something are priceless. I can’t really re enact them but you all know what I’m talking about 😆 They would make for a good soundboard
*me eating a chikfila right now*
"I'm not gaining weight, I'm just making organic body armor."
The endless joy in Scott's eyes every time he shoots a gun is beautiful.
He really is just a kid in a candy shop, and it just shows lol
Yea, but he's having to really act/try with this one! Friggin' DISGUSTING!!! LOL!
It's the giggle when something turns to mist that always gets me.
I usually like the videos just for the intros, the rest is just a bonus
I must say I have only just started watching these videos and I absolutely love them , nothing fancy just straight up get it done, fantastic cant wait for the next one, I wish someone here in Australia would do these ,thanks mate keep it coming
Pro tip, use a burlap bag before you use a plastic bag. It's less prone to blowouts, which really helps keep things together. Kinda why it's used for grain and feed storage.
Good to know there are “beef fat shooting pros” out there. Only in America! 🇺🇸
Yep. I remember reading that rice was double bagged for dropping from aircraft in Vietnam. The inner bag would often break but the looser outer bag would keep the food together.
And let's not forget what a feed bag dress did for Marilyn Monroe. Someone had apparently said one of her dresses looked like a feed bag so she had a photo shoot with her wearing a slightly modified feed bag.
and underwear....
@@robertslusser6753 lets see some links
This really illustrates why these dangerous game rounds even exist. Muscle, fat, and especially bone in enough thickness can render lesser rounds useless. Cool video thanks Scott.
When my mom was in medical school she saw a guy in the ER who had been stabbed. He was so morbidly obese, however, that none of his organs or muscles were damaged.
‘he was so morbidly obese’
idk that just sounds funny to me
I loved it! What a joy man I needed this.
I was a CT Tech at a Trauma Level I hospital. There was a code for a female gunshot victim. The Trauma Surgical Team came down all excited and waited impatiently for the scan images to come up on the monitor, but when they saw the 22LR bullet was lodged in her belly fat and didn't penetrate into her abdomen the doctors started whining and stomped away knowing they weren't going to get to cut her open. Lol
Good to know that doctors get excited when there’s a GSW
@@JavaScrapper You do realise that most people who are Empathetic aren't surgeons..
@@The_Bushman yup i know very many surgeons and they do get very excited for the real gory stuff. my wife is a surgery technician so she gets to handle all the fancy tools during long complicated surgeries.
@@77Fmydog Hey! My Wife does the same/similar here in Australia.
@@The_Bushman yeah I do
Just making a joke
I like how Scott went from 308 to 577 tyrannosaur. That’s like someone firing 9 mm for the first time and then saying they want to try a 500 magnum
And that round continues to be the Honey Badger of the big rifle world. It just does not care what’s in front of it.
I fired my buddies 500 Smith and Wesson a few times... It's a beast and it hurts, especially with a 4in barrel.
@@SoloHiker1 4” barrel?! What is that his concealed carry???
@@SoloHiker1 RIP your wrist
@@vipe650r my monkey brain kept thinking of the Honey Badger carbine and was so confused 😂
I thoroughly enjoy kentucky Mythbusters.
Thanks Scott!
They were all hollow points except for the 577. I think you might have had some different results if you had some FMJ or hardcast etc. However if you were trying to replicate the average gun owner with people stoppers, I guess hollowpoints would be most likely carried. The bullets that mushroomed good are the ones that didn't quite cut it for penetration, that's not a bad thing as the wound would be much larger with their fat spilling out lol. Nice vid man.
This is the most cathartic video I’ve ever seen from you. It would seem that, since retiring from the military, my chances of surviving a gun shot (particularly to the stomach) has only increased! I feel good, Scott, I feel good 😂
Same here ...
Navy ahoo ...
Excellent video Scott! Rather interesting results. I love my 1911. Its "old & slow" but the .45ACP is an effective cartridge. The .577 was a good finishing touch!
You really are something else scott. How you come up with your video ideas is beyond me, great original content really. Also i think the fat kinda functioned like a sandbag which are quite resistent to bullets hence why they were used so much in fortifications during WWII.
Shoutout to Scott for sacrificing a perfectly "clean" smelling range to the body fat protection gods.
The baby T-Rex eats all that stuff
Anyone else wish he had used the 4 bore?
@@pauld5265hell yeah
Full circle moment, a friend showed me your freak gun accident a longgg time ago. I see you shooting bags of fat, with different guns looking happy as ever. Praise God, that you’re still doing what you love. 🫂🫂just wanna give ya a big hug so happy you’re still here.
I love how you and Matt both look at a freshly fired bullet and say, that's probably hot, then proceed to pick it up and confirm it is indeed very hot 😂!
Edwin just grabs them without thinking lol
It happened after I read this 😂
What a badass video. My heart dropped at the end with that Huge gun. 😮😮😮. Maybe my favorite video of yours. Appreciate the work you do.
one of my favorite channels, love this channel!!
As a butcher who often sells tallow, i understand how nasty it can be when it gets to room temperature, let alone however hot it got in the sun, love the videos man!
turns to slimy butter
@@VenmousReaper yup, keep it cold and it flies pretty well tho, my coworkers and I throw it at each other sometimes lol
Or when a bullet transfers all its energy into a bag of it and launches it into the air
Cold fat is remarkably not gross. Very solid and can even be crumbly.
I'm very thankful that I never have to handle it at room temp or hotter.
I would have suggested plastic buckets or something similar to contain it for these tests.
I didn't know people still made that stuff, I'd be surprised if it was legal here in Brexitstan due to health & safety.
I know they used to use the head of rushes plus tallow to make rushlights and they could if good quality make better light than candles.
"Looks like the duct tape is doing a good job holding all the fat in" - Me every morning before I leave the house.
😂
That was a great video as usual. Love your channel
Always entertaining watching your videos brother.
I knew you were law enforcement but I just realized I never thanked you for your service. So thank you for your service! My Uncle, Grandpa and great grandpa were all in different Sheriff’s departments
As a guy who doesn't do too well with "smells", I appreciate what you put up with to provide us with new videos
i don’t believe that for one second terdfergison
@@dingus6317 LMFAO gold. 🏅
I have no sense of smell but surely smell isn't that important a sense and wouldn't bother people?
@@asjmpickle You're joking, right?
@@wakiyabrenton5395 no I lost my sense of smell due to brain injury in my teen years, but is smell even important? I guess it did help me work as a plumber could stand in a sewer all day if I had to.
Love it! It was wild. Thank you.
Love your vids man!!!
He doesn’t just make good videos. But he knew that my mind was in the gutter. Amazing.
Hey Scott, me again. I really need to see a comparison between the 577 tyrannosaur and the 50 BMG. You are the only one that can. Thank you for all the videos.
Matt at demolition ranch has pretty much done that.
I think your mistaken he don't even have one and I've been watching both of them and the ak guy for years I've seen every video all the gun tubers have made. If I'm wrong send a link id love to watch it
Im fairly sure a 577 TRex will defeat 50 BMG by a small amount theres allot more gunpowder in the 577 then a 50BMG yeah it will probably give a similair result but the Trex will be victorious
@@Gh3ttoboy agreed but still be nice to see
Against fat
That Tyrannosaur rifle is like a mini tank cannon 😂
Would love to see a night scope/night shoot with. ...well your choice!
LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
The scavenger wildlife at your range must go crazy after 99% of your tests
I wonder if he has “trail” cams I’d like to see what sorta critters come around after a shoot
The bugs in the area probably think he's a god who blesses them with food for no reason.
I was not expecting the last shot. Your doing exactly what I would do with these weapons. I like to see what bullets can do to things. It’s not a whole lot of fun exposing holes in target paper.
This episode is much more educational than I thought it would be .
That last shot made me laugh my A off!😂😂😂 Scott, you never fail to entertain! Thank you for every video present and future ones! ❤
It was literaly looks like the shotgun shot from Djanog Unchained with the Slave holders xD
I love how this went from very small short barrel handguns straight into huge desert eagles & a 500 magnum.
Good evening from Manchester 🇬🇧 liked and subscribed!!! Keep up the good work my good man ❤
I once purchased a foreclosure from a county. What I also purchased was the life altering memory of how bad meat "smells" after six months of sitting unrefrigerated. For the love of all that is Holy, NEVER open the refrigerator door on a foreclosure. Scott took one for the team this time!!! :))
Ye gods.
Reminds me of horror stories moving and emptying fridges and freezers months after a natural disaster.
@@dubuyajay9964 been there, done that. The meat looks like melted ice cream and smells much, much worse
My stepdad had rented a home to some relatives and at some point, the relatives had unplugged a chest type freezer in the garage to use the outlet for one reason or another and just let the freezer sit... also for about 6 months. Full of seafood. He and my mom actually tried to salvage the freezer and did a fairly good job of removing most of the stench (using lemon juice), but somehow or other, it had penetrated into the plastic walls of the freezer and some of the smell lingered for as long as they had it.
@@Neutercane Bleach?
edit: nevermind, bleach does nothing
Hey, Scott, can you line up as many zombies as you possibly can and see how many it takes to stop the .577 Tyrannosaur? I am curious how big of a collateral you can achieve hahah
The money would certainly be an issue here, as only one of these dummies is about 5k, and even if Scott had a partnership with the maker, it would still not be worth the cost.
I might be wrong and underevaluate the sales that he benefits (if any).
@@generaldegaulle211 he should have a fundraising thermometer
When I was a kid watching TV in 1957 we had Professor Gizmo.......We have come a long way.
Thanks Scott, always a hoot.
@KentuckyBallistics You are the best! I had to pause the video to IMMEDIATELY LIKE IT for the simple fact of your amazing charisma and silliness! And DEDICATION! I hope you washed your hands after handling all that fat ;)
I would love to see you shoot headstones. In the movies they often have shootouts in graveyards (I think the old movie Next of Kin had a scene like that but its been probably been close to 30 years since I have seen that so I am not sure). It would make an interesting video concept. Graveyard Shootout!
I'd imagine that they'd be decent cover for a shot or 2
Stone probably acts not dissimilar to ceramic, dispersing a lot of energy by breaking
Headstones are crazy pricey though
18:35 one of the best slow mo shot I ever see in your channel. The fat blowing up the dummy being pierce so fast that don't even move and the concrete block blowing up. It is a thing of beauty
Your videos really help one realize how much damage some of the rounds you use can do to a human body.
This actually pretty useful if you ever find yourself up against like a mob boss, because they're usually very portly
You really went above and beyond for this one. We thank you and admire your bravery, steadfastness, and stellar sense of humor for the sake of our entertainment.
This is why we subscribe!
* *Eating burgers* * I'm armoring up!
This was awesome that slow motion is what I look forward to .. to watch the splatter and expansion of the targets it’s funny to me ..
Like I have said in the past it’s a in my opinion a fantastic tribute to the comedian Gallagher with the sledgehammer and watermelon..
You and bringing a giant hammer the break the table in a prior video was golden … keep making great content absolutely great work😁
Love that intro Rexy really chucked in the table this time .
The video was brilliant a gross at the same time the small could be interesting after a while,clean up must be a challenge .
That green finger had to laugh .
I never heard about extra body fat protecting the victim from a gun shot. I read about a few cases where extra body fat allegedly saved the victim from fatal knife wounds. It makes sense, a thrust/stab from a knife can 'only' go as deep as the length of the blade
I live in Denmark, so a LOT more knives than guns here
Great video as always, thank you, Scott 👍🏻
It makes sense physically, it'll slow the bullet down enough to not reach organs
My most favorite part was 11:37 something I could hear myself saying all day 😂, awesome stuff Scott.
Stay safe and healthy.
Great video 👍
I laughed so hard. Your so funny and awesome Scott
That .577 is insane!
What a wild experiment!
I figured that fat would enhance expansion, but not to this extent.
Im just sad that I watched this after the Bore Gun episode...would have been interesting to see what an almost 1" round would have done to the fat....
I can pretty much guarantee that the animals thank Scott everything he shoots another video! Keep em coming Scott!
I love all of your video's and you are one funny man, thanks.
This is a PERFECT example of why you NEVER carry hollowpoints in your pistol for bear defense! Bears have a lot of fat, fur, thick skin and large/strong bones. Hardcast only!
Spaced armor is really effective. By having the fat away from the dummy, it may have skewed the results in favor of the dummies survival. That being said, really interesting video, and something I've been wondering this same thing for quite some time. Thank you for doing this!
I feel like here it helped more that all of the fat was concentrated on the front, as this much fat i think even 500/600 pound person doesn't have.
Also I am not sure but i think that dead fat is more resistant and it was layerd.
Like 200 pund person would have like 10% of this protection if not less.
I haven't even watched the video yet, but I am here to say yes. Body fat absolutely can save your life. I got retired from my career of driving truck in 2004 when I shut down I-75 in Dayton, Ohio for half a day. I turned my head for a split second and that was the end. Ended up getting crushed in the mangled mess of what used to be the cab of my truck.
My steering wheel was bent around my midsection and my seat was bent in the same plane behind me. Had I been a skinny guy, that energy would, very likely, have destroyed organs and fractured my spine. But, my body fat absolutely saved my innards and spine. ER docs and EMTs said as much.
Only time in my life I was thankful to be fat.
this is what i wanted in years! thank you.
Bro I’ll give you a like and a comment to hopefully algorithm boost this. Already subbed. Was always curious about this
The amount of dedication this man gives for science and episodes like this is great. Who else is vacuum sealing 100lbs of beef fat? Love your content and thanks for all your efforts in the name of science. 👍
Someone cooking said beef fat, maybe?
Yeah, probably slaughterhouses. Don’t they use beef fat as a base for broth?

Another great video by Kentucky ballistic
One of my most thought of questions actuallly, u deserve a like
Absolutely fantastic video… I now feel vindicated - I said all along I wasn’t fat, it’s just my bullet proof surround!!! 🤣 Thanks Scott! 👍🏻
If you are Obese, Your Body Fat increases your chances of surviving most Bullets. Heart Diease, However, Well that's a different story😅
Diabeetus (in my best Wilfred Brimley voice.)
If you have 16 inches of belly fat, kind doubt you are a threat, like there stairs to get into my house. Easily out run you on the street. If they have a firearm they'll be tired after holding up the gun for steady aim.
@@wyattgardner3552Depends. What if they're built like a sumo? Dense fat and muscle and able to rush you?
@@SirDankleberry yeah but i don't think sumo wrestlers could run very far, or you could just climb on top of something
Yes.
Thank you for the video. Loved your work for years. Constructive idea time. Perhaps consider leaving the fat in little packs and lining them up to get a better idea of how much fat stops what round? Just a thought. Keep up the fun and strangley informative job!
I really like how you took the test from 22 caliber all the way up. Tests like that are very interesting!
Thanks, Scott for another entertaining yet informative - and kinda disgusting - video. I considered heart disease more of a risk than getting shot, so I've lost about 70 lbs so far. After seeing this I guess I'll just have to continue to avoid getting shot.
Congrats on the weight loss! That’s a huge amount!
And yeah I’ll worry about my organs being literally weighed down by fat vs the possibility of being shot 😂
Your body was used to carrying 70 more pounds, so it can definitely handle you wearing a plate carrier every day from now on, which will no doubt be more effective
Ignore the weird looks from your neighbors or how uncomfortable your seatbelt will be
@@1stCallipostle Right!
@@artsysabs Thanks I have about another 30 I'd like to be rid of. I figure I can move out of the way of danger more quickly this way!😂
Next time you are shooting a "loose" target like this one, try buying a roll of contractor grade trash bags. Then after every shot, roll it off the table into a new bag to contain it. By doing this, you're not really adding material to stop the projects, and you're giving a clean surface every time to hit, so you don't confuse previous hits. Additionally, if you brought a vacuum with you, you could re-vacuum it to re-secure it into a good shape, and just seal the bags with duct tape at the top. Hope this helps! 👍
appreciate you taking the time to get all that fat for the enjoyment for us and yourself, great content.
I love watching these video's they are very entertaining. throw a ballistic hand through your chipper. The chipper makes me laugh almost every time especially when it bogs down because whatever got thrown in was to much. Lol
It’s interesting to see that some of the hollow points fully expanded and dumped their energy, and didn’t make it.
Also, your Slap Round accident came up in my feed a few days ago and I rewatched it.
I gotta say your recovery is amazing. I know it’s been near enough 2 years, but the fact you are in rude health after the nearest-death experience I’ve ever seen… Inspiring.
Motherfuckers a wildebeest. Normal humans woulda died by less.
This video is a perfect example of: "It seemed like a good idea on paper"
Meanwhile poor Scott after firing the Tyrannosaur: "No, NO!"
WOW! That was too kool. One of my favorites. 👍
That was awesome. Love the channel!!
I remember some of the balistic testing Mythbusters did with fat, still nice to see more results.
The 577 TRex shot was absolutely amazing. This was actually a damn good idea despite how gross it was.
Loved the video
best video yet! I love the folklore tie in! You could expand on the myth busters' underwater bullet deceleration episode ...they showed that even a 50 cal. round slowed down to a stop in like three feet of horizontal water travel! that was so good! Do it with the Slow Mo Guys!!!
this episode reminds me of that same kind of round deceleration.. liquid interference.. fascinating stuff!
I always think that being fat is a bad thing. This changes my mind 😂
Always watching out here in Madison County KY. Glad my favorite guntuber is a fellow Kentuckian!
I also appreciate you using the ballistic dummies as much as you do. I had no idea they were so expensive. It shows that you care a lot about making good content which I appreciate!
That's no 🐂💩. I looked the up a while back. Scott clearly spares no expense, even if he gets a discount. That's dedication!
Great video Scott
You're incredible bro 💪
I recently found this channel and I love it. Every video is a good time! Keep up the good work Scott!
I found you by accident, and I sure am glad! You are a riot. Keep it going these videos give me a big smile. Thanks Ray
I am currently binge watching this channel now. It's as addictive as Mr Ballen's channel, but with more guns. 👍
