  • UA-cam: This video has NO firearms in it. In this video we re-test the pellets driven by powder-actuated-tool charges but film what happens at 10,000 FPS with the Chronos 1.4 high speed camera. We chronograph the results and even test them on gel. These are many suggestions viewers wanted to see from our video from about 4 years ago.

    These pellets are great I have the same ones only difference is that the ones I have are called gold flights they work great for penetration I have half inch steel that I’ve been able to go through and the fronts have never broke they have flattened out a bit but would 100% recommend

    It's too bad the old Daisy VL rifles got the boot. For what was effectively a .22 caseless round and a rifle that could still be used as a fairly high powered standard air rifle even if you didn't have the VL ammo for it, it was a neat idea. I understand why Daisy dropped the line, they didn't want to have to go through the trouble of getting licensed as a firearms manufacturer to keep selling them. But it was a really neat system. the rifles are out there, but they are pretty rare and extremely collectible(Obviously.). The caseless rounds are still out there too, but super rare as well. And who knows if they would even still work, assuming the powder was still attached to the pellet. Would be neat to see someone shoot one if they actually had the stuff to do it.

    Looks like it could be Zamak die cast. Zamak is a zinc alloy (zinc + aluminium, magnesium and copper). Zamak is very much harder and tougher than raw zinc although its appearance is roughly similar.

    So something interesting that comes up from time to time: 223 and 22lr ammo uses the same diameter of projectile... Which is .224
    I can't help but wonder how these would work if you stuffed a 55gr .223 projectile down the bore followed by a ramset.

    • @skippmclovan1135
      @skippmclovan1135 Рік тому

      Yes, it would be blasted down the barrel with a lot of energy, particularly if the 'purple' ramset cartridge was used!

    Hey Jeff... I wonder. Any pellets like the Red Penetrator or similar where you can remove the tip and actually put powder into the casing? Not that I'm sure it would work anyway, but I wonder if the compression would be enough to ignite the powder.
