- The long-anticipated Hybrid Slugs are here, and I'm so glad I don't have to keep the secret any longer! In this video I speak about the differences between Hybrid Slugs and Traditional Slugs, and test them out in Cape Town on some Pigeons & Starlings with the guys from Air Hunters!

Enjoy the video guys! And on a more serious note, please keep a look out on social media for a very important announcement later today. The drought in my part of the world is extremely bad and it is threatening to bankrupt some of the farms I hunt on, including Witmoskloof where I filmed The Oxwagon Diaries. I think we need to band together and help contribute towards feed & water costs so that we can keep the animals alive until the drought is over. As hunters and outdoorsmen, it is our duty to help with conservation - Something that PETA will never do.
I'll post some details later when I have a plan of action. If everybody gave just $1, we'd have enough to save hundreds of animals from starvation.

AirArmsHuntingSA hi matt, do you happen to know if these slugs (if they come out in .25) would work in an fx wildcat mk1 in a standard barrel?
Sorry this is irrelevant but what entry level pcps do u own
Perhaps pair your shirt with the donations you talking about... purchase a shirt and a set amount each goes to help with the cause. That way it's a win win... shirt sales boost support for cause, and cause support boost shirt sales.
I'm always to help healthy wild animal populations. Rock on Matt!
Could you pls move a bit toward some of the guns that are lower on the budget scales with the Hybrids testing. I know You don't like'em (those guns) that much but lots of us don't have any choice but pick the budget-friendly PCP airguns. I'm talking about those of mid-range pricing like FX Dreamline, Air Arms 510 Xtra FAC, Brocock Bantam, Weihrauch HM100 FAC, Hatsan Galatian, BSA R10 FAC and many, many others around $1000+. Please consider it, I sure the airguners community would be more than pleased with such stuff on your channel.
These hybrids slugs are another genius move by FX! It's clear that after a year or even two years of you shooting FX slugs, the other competitive companies such as Daystate etc. Are not going to spend the money or take the time to make a slug barrel. Perhaps it's too expensive perhapsit's too expensive, perhaps they sell the majority of their rifles with in England and places that do not allow full power air rifles, who knows, but I think that these hybrid slugs will sell like hotcakes!
Those hybrid slugs been around long before FX...the guy that Owns the Paton, is the owner of Ratsniperslugs..he teamed up with FX because fx has a good Distribution network...it was a business move that will Benefit him greatly...
Can’t help but to think of what may happen if politicians get a wind of these considering they look more like traditional bullets.

This is by far the best video for first time FX Impact MK II owners using .22 slugs ! Adjusted mine to 948 FPS with a 10 shot group with a dev. of 5 FPS , my groups at 40 yards are excellent , I would recommend doing a little cleaning of the slag on these pellets before your shot them , if you empty all 100 packed pellets on a dark cloth napkin you will see what I mean .
Just a quick word to say your videos are fantastic and so well produced. Work in TV and appreciate the effort and skill that goes into these. Also you are a natural presenter.
Birds must never get hold of this technology.
I would be down for a shirt as well.
Totally new to AirArmsHuntingSA. Emigrated to NZ back in 1997, but love seeing the Cape scenery. Makes me homesick! Great videos. So excellently narrated and edited. Spot on with your attitude - respect and humanness, but the sensible reality that some animals simply have to be controlled. Looking forward to more baboon jags!
Matt your technical knowledge is tremendous and so very helpful. Thank you for all your effort.
We would like to see you cook the pigeons and eat it.
A chats clean cook
Yes ,I would love to be able to buy a shirt
would you need the hunting or tactical lights? please help contact me will offer you free, vastfirelight@gmail.com
The slow mo replays are fantastic 👍
Enjoy watching! The shirt is cool!
Hi Matt, how will these slugs shoot out of a standard fx smooth twist ( not x) barrel?
i am curious too
So am i 👆
They will not work. I talked to Airgun Depot because I had the same question.
@@900Redshark well, that sucks
@@900Redshark will it work with FX impact mkII?
Great video Matt . Very well explained, and great shooting. Will these hybrids be available in .177 cal as well .cheers Dean
I have been following your channel for a while and love your photage and how you educate the viewers. Two of my kids were born in South Africa and you have such a beutiful country. Keep up the great work.
Pigeons fear this guys name for sure!
The Pigeon Slayer!
I heard Gerard Butler is trying to land the role as the young living Airguns legend Matt Dubber in the next blockbuster hit Air Arms Hunting SA.
Yes, nice shirt, I noticed it right away. Sell them, I’m sure they will sell
Man I'm pretty new to the channel but you have me completely intrigued by all of this. I'm astounded at your accuracy and your knowledge about this sport. It's got me wanting a pellet gun baddd. Great videos and keep at it!
I am just now starting to understand why these hybrids work well in one barrel and not so much with another. Very informative review. Thanks.
Perfect as usual, I have uploaded my first slow motion video by the way ;)
great slugs, but I wonder while you were at FX was there ever a conversation as to why nobody makes slugs in .177 ?
Probably it's because they are to tiny and the guns are low on power to Hunt.
I have some nsa .177 slugs that I tried out of my gamo dynamax. They don't fly straight with my gun..
@@CatCustom low on power to hunt, are you kidding Coen, my FACs say otherwise tramming over 1100 fps with 10.5s and delivering 30 ftlb, the penetration is phenomenal and with hollows its devastating. the slugs would only give me more range and that's the interesting bit.
@@IlIlllIllIlIIIll could work well out of a Lothar Walther though, might see if I can get my hands on some in the UK. cheers pal.
@hunter100t
Is that a original gun, or modified?
Maybe i typed it different than what i mean. Many hunt with .177 also in sub 12. But when talking about slugs, you go fac.
When go full power, sky is the limit in my country. So why chose a .177 when a bigger caliber has more power..
That's a great product! No such thing as a bad shot. They go down.
Spectacular channel!
very nice thing that fx company started making these slugs that will definitely start a compition between the companies like NSA HN and lower the prices
did the company make a.25 cal and when it will be availble in markets
finally keep up the great job 👍🏻
ragards from saudi arabia 🇸🇦
I'd be interested in some shirts. Long sleeve OD green or camo would be nice.
With the hybrid design could this be scaled down for .177?
Sparrows are in decline here in briton
16:00 that's an amazing shot, really
Told a squirrel about these, he said they were mind blowing 🎉
Please start selling the shirts!
I don't like them, I LOVE them🙌🙌
Hhfit I'll tb
Any info on what they would be like out of a UK limit air rifle, I've got a few customers at the range asking about them.
Matt, thank you for what you do for the progression of the air gun industry and air gun hunting. Your commitment and enthusiasm to the science behind our guns and ammunition is quite amazing. The quality of the videos you produce is impressive... succinct, well edited, down to Earth communication and a dose of humor peppered in (the multi-colored "Starling" eggs) makes for an enjoyable watch. It is truly an amazing time in history that allows people continents apart can interact like this. Keep up the hard work, ignore the noise of the haters and enjoy what you've created... you've earned it.
All the best,
Andrew
Well done and congratulations Matt!!!
I’m just imagining all the greenies being triggered when the watch this video lol
People like this is why they're trying to do away with the 2nd amendment. If we want to keep our guns we shouldn't influence behavior like this
Richard Craig behavior like what? I will admit I wish he had a end place for the dead birds to go, such as food for animals. However, I don’t see much wrong with what he is doing.
Pigeons transmit diseases. If those greenies want to complain about Pigeons getting wacked they can lick a pigeon or its droppings.
this guy gonna think why I'm getting more views and like and comments now ... thalapathy beast first look😍
You got me on the starling eggs!! LOL!
Matt, your videos and instruction are really useful. Any chance you can do a video on setting up the impact for slugs? You are a trusted source of information and help and it would be useful to see how you make the adjustments to enable the Impact to perform so well. Thanks
Matt; the "heavy flywheel rim effect" of these very hollow hybrid slugs is easy enough to understand. If your viewers need any further help understanding how this affects long range stability, consider the 7.92 x 40 CETME. This was a long, aerodynamic light core bullet with a heavy copper partial outer jacket: ua-cam.com/video/3Njddshr3n8/v-deo.html
Super interesting!!
@@AirArmsHuntingSA It explains why the hybrid slug does need to be spun super fast!
Matt:Let me show you that you don't need a cannon to shoot slugs
Me: really? How fast you shooting those slugs Matt?
Matt: 980fps
Me: Really N#@@$
I'm lucky to push those to 900fps
@@CobosDoesItAll open up your transfer port and probe hole
Great job again guys! Thanks to you Matt, I had to order my own Impact today!😅 It is so sad, that hunting here in Finland is very limited by air rifle. But at least the pests are now watching their back!
You gotta love that... whatever that is in the background
I'd love to buy a shirt
Not too expensive
I'd buy if R100 💪
Good price 20 years ago 👍
@@cameronwilliams3042 That would've been like R1000 today 😂😂😂
Love the shirt, hope it will come in XXXL size as well. Keep up the good work Matt. You guys rock. Never miss a video and can't wait for the next one. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👌🏻😉😀
Yes please Matt please
A lot of people are interested specially me and I would like to get my hands on those hybrid slugs to test them on my FX Crown
love the thump sound when the slugs hit
It looks like a rat sniper. Did they sell that to FX and merge with NSA?
It's because it is a Rat Sniper slug. They've teamed up. NSA is not affiliated in any way, AFAIK. NSA ammo is proven and much cheaper than the hybrid slugs, but I still hope the hybrid slugs are successful, since competition advances the sport.
I love rat sniper slugs and they have them in other calibers. I have not been able to get any more for about a year and I talked to the guy once to see if I needed to order a few thousand at a time and I even offered to help make them so he could keep up. Well, I gave up! I've been getting my slugs off eBay.
12:33 still wiggling
I really like those hybrid slugs, they seem to pack quite a punch. As usual Matt, your skills and that of your Air hunters partners, are really impressive. Having skills like you guys, I am sure, helps a lot, when hunting. And yes, you can put me down to a few of those shirts you wore. I like it a lot. If you are offering several color options, my preference would be black and red.
When I watch you,I love the feathers.
Never take life of anithing just for fun. Only hunt if you need to eat. God bless you all. 🗽💓💓🌹🌹you.
Karol Kupec Thats called pest control
Karol kupec you are absolutely right
Its called pest control. I don't think your god would condemn you for taking out pests if they were tearing apart your garden. You probably wonder why they smile and laugh when they get a kill too. I can easily answer that question. Ted said it best on his channel at Teds Holdover. "I smile and chuckle because I'm happy that I performed a quick clean kill and that the animal didn't feel any pain". So also keep that in mind.
Why are you even watching this channel?
It's unfortunate how to eat a small bird when it's been shot to the destroyed...😢😢😢
Very good accuracy, Too bad in the country Indonesia is not allowed to use bullets of this type, it must be 4.5
Hi, you spoke of sitting up shooting. A trick I love I got from a military sniper. Sit up with target to your left(right handed shooters) knees up "v" like, elbows around knees so legs relaxed knee settles in cup of elbows, gun right hand, grip resting on left elbow, left hand holding right forearm to lock it in, feet crossed. He took a 700yrd shot like that on the fly. You know more than I ever will, but food for though. Iv been watching your channel sence your 1st AA .177 your a 10 In my book :)
Thanks for all your time and awesome videos. New to air guns your the best. Gary in Texas
Its hard to believe how much things have moved on as hybrid slugs like these were only the stuff of dreams when i started airgun hunting but after recently watching a hooded crow fly on with a well placed shot and pass through using an 18gr JSB (which are VERY accurate in my Crown) Hybrid slugs like these in my standard pellet liner might be just the ticket.
OMG re watching in 2160p on my s21 ultra ❤😍
What a beautiful landscape!
You really know your stuff ! Great video as always.
Thanks. Your video is BEST bird hunting video!
very good accuracy
Just an idea if you have time wile chillin polish up the backs and get a better reflection, better cam shots and on
I like the shirt, but would like to see the 260 or 22-250 silhouette instead of an air rifle if I ordered one.
Please make the shirts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m all about it !!! Great video as always Matt !! Always appreciate your data breakdowns , love to learn about the science behind everything.
Nice, the shirt and the video. Thanks Matt and I love the videos and talk about some nice shooting. I would indeed like to purchase the tee shirt. At least two or three of them. Yep no joke so lets put those babies up for sale. Keep the videos coming man!
I love hearing those 30gr slap and clap :) Great shooting and thanks for introducing your audience to things they might not have otherwise thought about looking for!
Going hunting with my airgun in Africa is on my bucket list.👍
Hi dude. I really love fv, specially the wildcat 11. Vut the problem is the cost. Its too expensive for me in Philippines. Hopefully u give me 1 unit. I really love it.
Well done Matt! Looking forward to trying the slugs for myself. I agree that there is a place for the hybrids slugs. I'm sure they will sell well here in the states especially as their price comes down somewhat. Hell yes on the shirts!!! Keep slugging.
Can't wait to buy a shirt , thanks Matt
The slugs demolish those birds...and yes, I would be interested in the shirt 👕
Tremendous video. Really enjoy the way you present the totality of the experience. The hybrid slugs look like a real advance.
Very happy with that!!
The quality of these videos is just WOW. good stuff!!!!!
Bro could you add bright yellow or orange paint and add a little on the back of that slugs so we could see them easier thank man love the vids
Naturally the FX Hybrids shoot well out of my Impact. These also shoot really, really well out of my Benjamin Discovery. I didn't think that the Discovery had rifling, but the Hybrids don't tumble. They punch perfect wadcutter type holes in paper, but with the wimpy Discovery, they don't expand much. I mention it because these aren't just for Impacts. They do great in other guns too!
keep up the good job love watching your videos all the best from over the pond england :)
The "I'd rather be hunting" shirt is WAY cool. I wear a 3x/4x so make them for us big guys, please. 👴🤠 The video was way cool. I'm really interested in the new hybrids. Will they work in a strong break barrel? Thanks - keep 'em coming. - Doug from Nevada
That’s for the review
I order four boxes of them yesterday
And yes I’ll buy a shirt or two
most definitely
Where can these pellets be purchased ?
Utah air has them
Pyramydair carries them also however there on back order till December 9 th but it is buy three and the fourth is free this week
😃
Very well done Matt! Ya'll stay cool... Wade
Very cool, if not for your video I wouldn't have any idea these even existed.
Maybe this is the beer talking, but I really want to edit the Wilhelm scream in when that dove gets shot at the start.
YOU CAN BREAK DOWN .22 LR BULLETS AND USE THE BULLETS IN YOUR AIR RIFLE ,I LIKE THE STINGERS AND THE SEGMENTED ONES ,YOU CAN ALSO USE THE .22 CCI SHOTSHELL PART FOR A SCATTER SHOT CLOSE DISTANCE BULLET ! THE BULLETS MAYBE NEED TO BE SIZED FOR SOME BARRELS !
At 3:05 the narration reminded me of District 9.
There was a company that made bullet moulds for airguns and they made a LEM Spitzer mould just like the FX slug but with a thin band on the base, solid body pointed. They worked well in Sub 12ftb air guns quite well.
Most certainly be intrested in the shirts!
Thank you so much for awesome informational videos! I appreciate the technical information and the showing the fps grouping differences. Great contribution to the industry! Thanks again
Make video of how you install camera to the scope.
Live the shirts man, please do make them available!
Wow amazing airguns....i want to have that someday....
Excellent video, perfect shots as usual, you explained the hybrid slugs in detail, very helpful looking forward to trying them. I would definitely purchase your shirts they look cool.
Hey Matt, great video as always and nice to see the Hybrid is pellet rifle friendly. I would be up for a shirt as well in dark blue if you do a run of them.
Hi Mate , I just a piegon this morning in california los Angeles , 25 cal Hatson with 35 lbs, 800 fps. Bengerman silver point , it was more of a punch rather than han a lighting bolt , that I get with my Gamo swarm 177 with 1300 fps lol I wish I could own that a FX. LOL
Thanks again sir for another great upload we watch reruns on a daily basis once again you the man 💯
Awesome video packed with some real life useful info,Mr. Dubber!
Awesome shooting Matt!!! I am new to PCP air guns, I ordered an FX Dreamline Dream Pup .22 cal but it's in backorder! Can wait to get my hands on it and try the FX hybrid slugs! I enjoy all your videos and detailed reviews. Keep up the good work my friend. Cheers from USA 🇺🇲✌️.
that shirt is pretty awesome I'd buy one.
Really good trying to make an air gun giveaway
can be better
can you shoot them in a break barrel ? hatsan 125,135,150,155 vortex
Always wanted to see South Africa
Great video, pretty impressive what the hybrid slugs can do
I really Wanna try that airgun it's awesome
Yes
