The BEST 12ga. Shotgun Slug? RIDICULOUS Stopping Power
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2020
- In this video we test a slug called "The Gatekeeper". I've never heard of it and wasn't impressed with anything about it when I first saw it. This is the first segmented, lead-free slug we have tested that has actual "controlled expansion". Slugs like this normally just fragment into many pieces- that is what we expected to see.
I believe the slug is actually made by Maker Bullets - who call it "Maker Overwatch Field 1 oz Shotgun Slug".

Ahhh!! Thank y'all so much for allowing me to shoot some more!!! I had so much fun! These rounds were so fun to shoot!
Also, I realized I never really gave an answer about the recoil so I'll do that here. The recoil is comparable to, but less than that of a 30.06 Ackley.
Good chemistry with you & the two lads. Great to watch.
Great shooting ma'am.
You is a good shot looks fun too greetings from UK England
Good work!
Gallium bismuth alloy slug
Somebody's business is about to expand, just like their product does.
i know the person who made those. he’s my neighbor
Yea, my first thought I’d where do I get them.
Something else is expanding now too
Pixel Dust maker ammo
We just went to his site- all ammo is completely sold out.... imagine that! Good products make their own demand.
Breanna’s a hell of a good shot.
Dead-eye Danny vs. Ballistic Breanna, anyone?
yes, give us a shooting competition with rifles and shotguns
Yes
YES! MY COMPETITIVE SELF NEEDS THIS 😂
I wanna see i wanna see!!!
This needs to happen.
Who ever engineered that slug was a genius.
Yep, all hail Idaho.
That was simply breathtaking. I wonder if these can be mass produced to be consistent at 100,000 unit batches. I could see these becoming the predominant home defense and predator defense round for sure. Wow. Stopping power incarnate.
That rounds about as survivable as a 50 cal. Absolutely insane temp expansion.
Id say you would die quicker, 50 cal might hit harder but the energy dump on this thing is no joke.
TBF people have survived 50 cals. barely.
@@allengordon6929 not if they got hit center mass right?
@@StrengthScholar0 As long as the temporary wound cavity isn't too big (TBF the round readily creates TWCs more than twice the size of a human body). Ironically being hit with armor piercing ammunition here may give you a better chance of surviving.
Not necessarily, if you were wearing level 4 body armor and if you were to be shot with that slug, you would survive. However, if you were to be shot with a 50 cal, even if the armor stopped it, 50 BMG hits with so much force that you would still die.
These rounds are the most impressive things I've seen in ballistics for some time!
Their consistent expansion is nothing short of remarkable and with these loaded you'd have absolute confidence that whatever you shot would stay shot - and the target would get it's own gold star...
Edited to add that the shooter was the most accurate I've seen in a long while!
Those rounds flew true!
"Love heals all wounds"
Love ain't gonna heal THAT!
Haha damn straight, jeez that's a brutal looking death flower of a slug haha, could hardly beleive how perfect it expanded and jeez that thing looks like it would hurt loo
At $4 per shot do you think it’s ok to go to the morgue to get them back.
😂😂😂
Bahahaha hreat comment!
Nailed....! 😂
Better take care of that before the coroner gets there.
Ahahahaha 👍
I love this video for 2 reasons:
1. This slug is exactly what I've been looking for.
2. She snorts when she laughs.
Point #2 is more attractive than women realize.
@@samuelprice9728 absolutely.😂 snorting while laughing is adorable😍 and will instantly get my attention lol
Awww shucks 😊
I was thinking it was her laughter that included the snorts
Examiner: This man was impaled with what looks to be some kind of bicycle sprocket.
underrated comment lol.
This slug is well designed, thoroughly impressed with it's accuracy and consistency.
Smart man say: Don't anger woman's Father or Husband.
Wise man say: No, don't anger woman who always hit's what she's aiming at!
Jim Watson Sounds like you're saying she's a good shot but your reply is slightly confusing. Could you, maybe, clarify?
@Jim Watson Copy.

Matthew Greene Intentionally pissing someone off with marksmanship skills like that would definitely put someone ahead of the rest for the coveted Darwin Award!
@@kareemofwheat1463 You're right about that!
"Love heals all wounds under 39mm"
That sun/petal shape looks like it would dump so much force that you might actually get the classic vidoe game/movie effect of throwing the target off their feet.
Impressive round.
u saw what it did to the gel in the slow mo, it probably would
“Blows the lung out of the body”
@@kaliumnitraat No No NO! Only the 9mm can do that. Come'on man!
Great to see Brianna again congratulations on her new baby
10:54 yep, it's official. She fits right in with this crew and crowd.
That is one crazy round. My 2nd favorite so far.
It’s like our long lost sister has finally come home. 😎👍
Yup, the Island of Broken Toys. Does her nose glow or does she want to be a dentist?
Misfit, not broken.

Today's lesson: Do NOT anger that young lady, especially if she's toting a shotgun. You could try and run away, but you'd only die tired.
To be honest, I saw the intro and thought "is that the Forgotten Weapons guy?" but I don't think his hair is that long yet :)
She could be a modern Annie Oakley.
And to think I'm even better with a rifle or any of my handguns I carry 😏
@@bullseyebreanna6862 LoL !!
@@bullseyebreanna6862 Biggest doe I ever harvested was 168 lbs after field dressed. Hit it in the eye @ 650 yards. All I could see was it's head. Used a 243.
I've watched more than a few of y'all's videos, and this is the most impressive round I've seen yet.
thanks Eric
Seems to me that this round would be hell on big boars, both hog AND bear. Got enough initial 'slam' penetration to get to the "good stuff", and then transform into a meat 'vegematic'. Whomever designed this thing should be damned proud:) As far as I'm concerned he's surpassed almost all, if not ALL previous shotgun/musket projectile designers, WITHOUT forcing the shooter to endure the massive recoil of the Minie' ball.
Vegematic,ROFL...🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
My jaw dropped when I saw that jelly block slowmo shot. That kinetic energy is amazing.
That was terrifying. That energy dispersion...I think if you hit someone with it they'd just explode. Gatekeeper is a very good name for it. Well done ARM!
That kinetic shock and energy dump is phenomenal!
Even the elasticity in the pork shoulder. I never thought you could get that much movement with it still being intact. I would have liked to see the kevlar vest wrapped around a watermelon or something. To see how much damage you'd get wearing a vest. I would bet the internal bleeding would kill you still.
iMack10 -Thatd be one regretful home intruder 😳
Hey guys, this slug has roughly HALF the energy of a typical lead slug. It’s around 1700ft-lbs. A typical lead slug is around 3100ft-lbs. this would be a devastating round, but a standard slug will be more devastating.
That first slug round: "Are you bleeding?"
"Only internally."
It would most likely blow half a man's spine out his back
Or halve a man. Grizzly and effective.
Need me some of those rounds
"That's where blood is supposed to be"
"I ain't got time to bleed!"
Famous last words quoting someone else.
What a fantastic slug design.....works as advertised and then some..
This video is incredible. I love that you guys used cylinder bore for the testing as well. When you get great results in accuracy with cylinder bore that makes a statement.
I was so impressed, I took this over for my wife to watch. Two things out of this: 1) those slugs are devastating. 2) women and shot guns are still a great combo. Unless they are shooting at you. Then, not so great.
lol true
@@taofledermaus I think this slug has earned a place in a top 5 or top 10 best slugs video.
Nice shooting by Breanna! Obviously her secret is using long hair to adjust for the wind, just like Ian from Forgotten Weapons. (j/k)
The slugs are pretty incredible.
Praise be to Gun Jesus!
Cross reference!! I award you non-existent points for that. Fine work.
Can you get a demolition ranch reference in there?
lol
@@edwardwood6532 LOL!!!!
Whether they are wearing a vest or not, when they get hit by that slug, they are not getting back up.
Ha, nice that you were here in Idaho. I drive through Horseshoe Bend quite frequently for work and play up along the Payette River and Cascade/McCall. Those things are devastating! Breanna is great shotgun shooter. Subscribed.
Someone raised that young lady properly, she is a hawkeye with that shotgun. Those rounds are crazy, I need some.
Thanks!!!
WOW, that really was the most impressive performer of all the rounds that I have watched you test, thank you officer Greg, Jeff and of course Bullseye Breanna for this incredible video.
Bullseye Breanna... I like it!
I third the motion for Bullseye Breanna.
Fourth!
Fifth!!!
@David Miatke Seventh and I want that tee shirt !!!!
Got email notification and ordered a box on 11-11, got em last week. There in their new home 870.
Thanks for the video.
Ah good!
It's so crazy just how consistent that expansion is.
"love heals all wounds." Id like to see love heal that wound.

Accurate, devastating and absolutely scary. At least Kevlar works nicely, even though it'll probably still break your ribs.
Fascinating slug!
Deadeye Breanna, she's a hell of a shot!
T'was a Tauntaun that Han Solo cut open with Luke's lightsaber.
To be honest , even if the kevlar caught the slug the energy transfer would rupture your organs and still kill you.
I think it stays together for Kevlar, not to be safer for people wearing Kevlar, but so that the power is more concentrated. If it expanded on the Kevlar the target would feel more of a punch than a sharp jab. Bad guys wear Kevlar too.
@@thetruthexperiment Makes sense. Still scary and I wouldn't want to get hit with it. Not that I want to get shot at all...
If you got hit by that it would brake your soul.
@@thetruthexperiment Not a bad guess, but it's not by design that it does that. Please bear with me because I'm trying to remember how an engineer explained it to me years ago.
Expanding rounds need to encounter a non-compressible fluid in order to function. That little cup in the center of hollow points is designed as an area where fluid can accumulate and hydraulic pressure can force the round either open (as in this case and in most hollow points) or apart (as in frangible rounds). The reason the nose collapses in on itself when it hit the kevlar was because there was no fluid to generate pressure in the cavity. The tips of the round transferred all of the energy into the vest and because of the shape of those tips the round folded along the stress lines in around the weak point (the center cavity).
I still sure as heck wouldn't want to get shot by one, with or without a vest.
Jeff: put it on the blue sticker
Gregg: yup the orange triangle
Absolutely vicious! Bt far the best performing slugs I've ever seen you all test! Great shooting Breanna!
Damn she can shoot. Literally hit exactly where she was aiming every time. Says alot about the slugs as well.
She has more hair than Danny, Jeff and Greg combined.
Great show Guys ,thanks for all the effort that went into this
Our pleasure!
She is one great shot. The projectiles are awesome and totally unexpected.
Breanna is giving Dead Eye a run for his money! Welcome back and great shooting! Jeff and OG great work as always!
Thanks Bradley!
Hats off to Brianna she's a heck of a shot.👍
She must be the next model of Terminator! Danny will need to go back to the future for an upgrade if he wants to keep up 🤣
That’s ol’ “bullseye Breanna!”
It would do you good to keep her in the mix. I think she’s good for the channel and good to show women can shoot just as effectively. Love her work!
I love the nickname! 😎😁
to be fair in my experience they shoot better than men LOL
Damn right women can (and should) shoot! I think they're better than a lot of guys.
Just about any girlfriend my brothers or I brought home ended up at the range with my father. None had fired a weapon before that, and they all did very well.
@@bullseyebreanna6862 your snorting laugh is cutest ever. I love it.
I love the music in the first part where you're reviewing the slug before firing it, it makes it feel like you're uncovering a mystery or something lol
That's some seriously long hair. You don't see that very much anymore.
I’m speechless. Those slugs are so beautiful. They bring a tear to my eye.
When you want a musket caliber hole without the dirty powder and slow rate of fire. Just as the Founders intended.
This thing would make a watermelon caliber hole!
@@TheRangaTanGaming LOL!!!!
69th like giggity
I have nothing but respect for Brianna you handle your gun well and are a good marksman and probably could give Greg a lesson or two. 🤯🇨🇦
that shot into the gel was INSANE, these rounds are incredible.
Tao: "Hey guys, please don't make any gross comments about my daughter"
Breanna: *Hits center of target on every single shot*
The comments section: "Sir, she's Jeanne Wick now, actually"
Boy, Danny really cleans up nice!
Just kidding of course. Welcome to the team, Breanna.
LoneWanderer360
Well....Thank You. Nice of you to notice 🙄😂😂😂. 🇺🇸😎
Good to see the lady on the range.and thank you for your channel I’ve always got something to watch.
thanks Jeremy
Surprising consistency from the slug. Excellent shooting. Good Testing.
Been following this channel for nearly 10 years now, love seeing content quality still going up! Also I really would not mind seeing Breanna again, shes a good shot, has lots of positive energy and seems to fit right in there. :)
She’s always welcome here.
She has a great personality.
@@taofledermaus
Agreed. I think she should be added to the standard crew of Mass Acceleration Engineers.
8 or 9 inches in. The name of Officer-Gregg’s next album.
@@bencrane8505 Officer Gregg: please be respectful of my daughter.
you: he didn't say to be respectful of *him* though....
Most impressive slug I've ever seen, low penetration, massive kinetic disbursement, exceptional slug expansion, scary deadly! The gal was very accurate, glad to see her out there.
Does this mean they would be ideal (and safer) for Law Enforcement to use.??? Real stopping power with no risk of pellets or shrapnel injuring bystanders??? As a non- expert with no experience, it just looks to me that it would put a bad guy down with no risk to anyone else. I've seen Corrections Officers (in training) put .223 FMJ slugs through the target and into material some metres behind. Hence, they went from using the Mini-14 to the Ruger 40cal with plain, old, lead slugs. These did not have the knock-down power of what I've just watched in this video
This slug is just about amazing. Does not break up or shatter when it hits Kevlar the pedals consistently spread out when it hits gel...... It just looks like a complete badass
Great shooting and very impressive results from the round!!
That is the most perfect round expansion I have ever seen
5:12 Watching the vest pack itself into the dummy's abdomen was an education unto itself.
makes me think you might have better luck having the thing go right through you.
Brett Baxter I can believe that there would be a bunch of internal damage, even though the slug was stopped. One would still be out of action....
@@archjen Hydrostatic pressure is going to force very large organs out of your major orifices, much like a Playdoh extruder, but a lot more red.
Pretty sure you'd still have pretty juicy insides if a human was behind that vest.
Armor penetrating? No, this round makes the armor penetrate you.
Thank u to all ur wisdom and wonderful expert shot, Brianna!
It's great seeing more ladies shooting very awesome . Keep killing it Breanna your doing excellent job
You said that you don't want to tick off Breanna's dad or husband, but the way that gal shoots, I would be worried about her.
Agreed.
My thoughts exactly. 😁 My wife and her Glock 19 w/red dot would agree, too.
She has a 12 gauge loaded with Gatekeepers in her home.
For reals
Seriously, she doesn't need anyone protecting her - she's got SKILLS!
That's a mean slug!
Sure surprised us!
@@taofledermaus Can those still be bought?
7:20 that is really rad how they formed like this, I can imagine them being ball-peened down smoothly in to little buttons for suits or other clothing from how neatly the expansion is.
I like those purty flowers. Great shooting Brianna !
In keeping with an old, old meme, I think this finally is a solid contender for the question: "will it make a good home defense round?"
absolutely
Quick question, Jeff...
If this company wanted to put "As Seen On Taofledermaus" on the box, would you let them?
I second this
holy hell! this is amazing idea
That should be an automatic Yes.
How about replacing all those Flex Seal TV ads for this product?
Great shooting Brianna. And thanks to Greg for sourcing this round. Very impressive.
Oh, one other observation I want to make, this time about Breanna.
When I was a young man, my father sat me down to talk seriously about "the facts of life". As he put it:
"Life is TEAM SPORT; when you start thinking of women and marriage, keep that in mind. Choose your teammate CAREFULLY, keeping that in mind."
I would say, that whomever managed to win this woman's heart, did a HELLUVAJOB! Not only did he succeed 'choosing' as to the 'womanly' side; he choose a 'teammate' fully capable of standing up right next to him, in the face of WHATEVER 'life battlefield' he is ever confronted with! I'm a combat vet and it would've been damned reassuring to know someone of her skills was right there on my flank.... Grats to not only Breanna, but to the parents who raised her:) Good luck and fortune to them all.
WOW is all I can say. That round is very impressive! And you’re right, the manufacturer will be getting calls for this one. Great vid! Thanx!
No doubt!
rip rounds ?! nice stuff
I'm just glad that Tao is socializing. He's been play sooo many video games into the night lately...
I've been social distancing long before it was cool.
What if you filled the hollow space with bird shot and wax?
@@nwmancuso Dang, I like the way you think !
TAOFLEDERMAUS
Me too, Taoey... me too.
@@taofledermaus Me too. II really didn't notice much when the lock down started.
Finally scored some of these slugs today after being on the notify list for the past 8 months ... I just happened to be checking my email when the notification arrived this time and immediately ordered 2 boxes.
Lol, I don't think the company that makes these saw this coming.
You guys are awesome you guys do good work and your extremely respectful thank you for your service
I just picked up 60 shells. This ammo is like Gold.
way to horde there bud.
60 rounds ain’t hording. Shit 600 rounds is just starting to “ have some ammo on hand” anything less than 500 is “ almost out of ammo”
Hey people recognize quality.
@@Deckageskate666 buying 60 rounds isn't hoarding,especially if you got a autoloading shotgun
@@johnsheppard5257 I was just giving you crap haha. im gonna pick some up next time im in Idaho.
This slug is the most deadly projectile I have ever seen . Dumping all energy in 6 inch . Man! Speaking of stopping power, this must be a record.
My wife gets mad at me for doing the same thing, in the same amount of time.
A cylinder bore!! That's going to be a special cop slug. The way it dumps it's energy is amazing!
Man I love this page, great people behind this.
Breanna's cool. Hope she becomes a regular guest "mass accelerator operator."
Thanks :)
I'm voting this as the best slug you guys have ever shot.
I'm voting for more Jeff, OG, Danny, and Breanna.
i concur - have not seen a better slug on this channel - nor any other...
@@jonniiinferno9098 tacti drive was the most accurate this one is a very close second, but with that kind of load transfer this slug would likely detonate a scumbag, democrat (same thing)
Quality tests you're all running on this ammo. Can't wait to check out some of your other vids.
thanks Jeremy!
I'm a huge fan of your videos. Very informative and of course with a cast of characters who's shooting skills and sense of humor are top notch. Watch on a daily basis and always looking forward to more. Keep up the good work guys, and ladies( Brianna and her sister) 😂
P.s. I'm not sure if I spelled her name correctly, and if I didn't, I apologize. Also, her sister should join you guys more often too. It would be fun to see them both shooting together

@@awolfalone2006 Yes. This is what I was implying.
Amazing round and an amazing shooter... that girl doesn’t miss!
It traveled 12 inches inside the gel before pulling back. For comparison, the average human body width is 14.4 inches.
That round center mass is not survivable.
Breanna, that’s some damn fine shooting.
Thank you so much!!!
That round hitting your leg would probably bleed you out in 2 minutes
@@lordfrostdraken what leg? There’s not gonna be one of it hits the bone.
I'd like to see what it would do to bone. I suspect a shot in any limb is going to shatter the bone and the amazing amount of expansion in the gel must mean any and all veins and vessels would be severed. So impressive. Want to take this to a feral hog hunt.
I feel bad for the bastards on the receiving end of this, great Home defense slug imo
Agreed, I'd like to see how many "walls" it could penetrate if someone missed though. An advantage of using shot in a HD situation.
@@michiganengineer8621 that's what I was thinking, how would it do against sheet rock or plaster-lath? I bet it blows through several walls worth so probably too much penetration for home defense.
Remember, dry wall can't stop anything.
@@taofledermaus Eventually it would, key word is _eventually_ lol
I don't even think it would expand through drywall it would just act like a foster slug... it would go all the way into your neighbor's house if used indoors... There more of a backyard situation.
She did the best shooting on this video. Dead center every time.
That was some of the best shooting I have seen in a while. Shoot s looks good A+
brings a whole new meaning to " one shot, one kill " more like one shot, ground meat. the Gorden Ramsay of slugs, perfection and attitude
Holy shit, these slugs are crazy. I feel like whoever makes this is gonna have a lot more customers soon. Also nice shooting!
Thank you!
Thanks for showing us another gorgeous fragmenting slug! Like I said with the tenderizer slug, I would love to shoot them and then turn them into jewelry or use them in found object art projects! I can't wait to see what you've got to show us next.
Brianna's marksmanship is outstanding !
Well done !
'nuff said. ,👍
Impressive slug delivered by an impressive shooter!!

Imagine being a guy who does autopsy's and seeing a small little bullet hole, but when you open up the wound, its a massive crater. Talk about disguise, this thing is crazy
Typical hollowpoint description, pathologists are probably used to that, but expecting dozens of fragments that cannot be used by the ballistics investigation.
A 69 caliber entrance hole is not really considered small. In any case, that round is a beast.
