HARDWARE STORE CHALLENGE- Jeff, Greg and Danny go to the hardware store and attempt to make the best supersonic projectiles they can from only hardware store supplies. test them against each other and see who made the best ones.
It would be nice and front heavy and the screw part without the bolts might stabalise it or u could get a big nail and a foster slug ant put it in with a press and cut it off pull it then put tannerite under the nail then put it back in boom boom slugs lol
Been digging through all of your older videos and rewatching all the Danny Episodes from start to his heart breaking passing. Love you all and I will be here watching the channel as long as you keep it going. Please send Danny’s family all of our condolences after they have had plenty of time to grieve. Will not ever forget him. Rest In Peace old friend.
Great video as usual! I started to think some new novel concepts after this and got one idea that might be little too much but if you found some one who is good with physics to calculate some things and get right materials this might almost work. Try do 12ga version of Nammo's ramjet artillery piece. If it's light enough it might even fly fast enough to work from shot... mass accelerator. So "only" things to do is calculate some super complex supersonic flow stuff, find good fuel that is strong enough but ignites easily from gunpowder flame and then order slugs 3d-printed out from titanium or steel. I ordered some stuff 3d-printed from steel and it was surprisingly not totally crazy expensive for small stuff like shotgun slugs, at least here in Finland. I would guess that you could get patch of 10 rounds for less than 500 USD. But finding someone who can design the thing might bit problematic. But if some one smarter than me is watching these please someone design and build these. I have too much projects going on to start design these but it might be good/bad idea for someone to try and waste all his/hers time with out getting it work in the end as these great ideas usually turn out :D
That's a great idea, but... Supersonic airflow through nozzles and internal ducting does not scale linearly- what works in an SR-71 does not work in an arty shell and sure as hell won't work in a mass accelerator projectile. The Nammo arty rounds need to be about six times their diameter in length in order to get the airflow settled down after entering the intake, for the intake mechanism, and for solid fuel slug, the combustion chamber and afterburner. That's kinda long for a shot... mass accelerator projectile. The intake has to open *mechanically* at a predetermined distance after launch, meaning at least two or three moving parts plus springs or collapsible members that fail at a specific stress. There will be extremely limited room for propellant. Remember the original rocket projectile, the "rocket ball" ammo used by the volcanic pistols and the similar Gyrojet guns? They get very limited acceleration because they also can only carry very limited fuel. It would take a jeweler to build the fiddly intake mechanism, an aerospace engineering specialist to *try* to scale a supersonic engine down to uh, mass accelerator projectile size, and a legal wizard to predict if civilians would get arrested just for trying to build such things. Now that the idea is out there I expect it will be built, but it will happen in a government lab.
@@markfergerson2145 The length/diameter ratio isn't that constrained, since they can still load over-length shells into their break-action. As for legalities, I can't speak to Europe, or more restrictive US states, but I'm fairly sure that rocket projectiles are not federally restricted (only their payloads). Though ITAR might create some issues sharing the technical details online. Doing the fluid modelling should also be simplified since you can assume radial symmetry which reduces the equation complexity a lot. As for needing moving parts, that could be designed around by using a combustible plug. I think if we could get Tom Stanton and Peter Sripol to work together on this it could really get done.
The flight stability is absolutely amazing. The 50 yard shots show what seems to be a "knuckle ball" effect with the projectile making slight up, down, left, and right variations in its track. That would account for the inconsistent impacts. Evan scores a stunning win on this one!
Brass makes good and accurate long range rounds so these didn't suprise me too much. From being the case for AP rounds to an AP round it is the circle of life.
I love to see danny shooting because he is so dang good at it with that mass accelerator lol and evan has a dang good mind and skill for projectiles that it's amazing. Awesome job on the target choices as well as the videography.
I can make exploding arrows using old brass there nuts on small game u can take multiple rabbits out if u shoot just inront they get fragged i toog 4 with one arrow it had slpit shot in the case aswell to frag but i only made 3 they were too loud and im not sure there leagal here i shot my shed and it blew holes all over inside
Thanks guys , I can tell how hot it must be just by the way both of you had pause to take breaths , I don't envy either of You in that heat . Danny's aiming was spot on , You could tell how "Hot" those .50 JIC's were running out of the Mass accelerator due to the Sonic Boom we heard , as for the camera needing the aperture decreased , I thought the distortion was down to heat haze ! (at least that would have been My excuse ) Thanks again Guys , Stay Cool (ice tea Mmmn ) Stay Safe & Stay Well
After that aluminum shot I’d have been like “screw it” and just spent the rest of the day pushing cookie cutters through that sheet. I think they should be called the “cookie press” rounds because they cookie-cuttered that aluminum like it was pressed out in a factory. And it’s catchy. And everyone loves cookies.
Interesting, I'm making a similar round. The ones I'm experimenting with are made from recovered .30-06 range brass (super common as elk season is here) trimmed to about the length of a Foster slug, filled with #7 1/2 birdshot, then heated until the lead liquefies and fills the brass. The shot cup is then filled with wax, and the slug is placed into the center with the primer hole exposed and flush with the wax. The wax effectively acts as a gas seal and adds heft. Gonna test them this weekend. Feel free to try it yourself!
Thank you for another great video! One thing I don't understand about this channel though. It gets tons of views but no one hardly gives a thumbs up! 🤔😡 This crew puts alot of their time and energy to give us good clean content. Take the half of a second of your time viewers and give them the thumbs 👍 that this channel deserves in my opinion. I'm sorry to rant like this on your channel, but it genuinely makes me upset that you guys don't get the likes that you all are very worthy of.
The primers give a good pop, but not enough to send anything back at the shooter. Bored soldiers do weird things when out in the middle of the desert all night with nothing to do.
I came to the newest first comments to basically say the same or see if anyone else already said it.. well done Mr. Gone.. well done indeed.. and RIP Danny.
Excellent job as always, Evan! Thanks to Danny for not only bearing all that heat to give us this video, but also for not open-hand slappin' Jeff for all his snarky remarks towards ya, too. :-) We all know how excellent a shot Danny is. Never doubted that for a moment. -Ed on the Ridge
Hey Jeff, Always good to see You guys exploring more science and wanted to say thank you for making videos for us all. Times are tough the heat and sun is too but yea it is abit inspiring to you all out there anyhow im looking forward to the next
Wow, very impressive for an early prototype, I'd love to see more development. First thoughts: a little more length, and maybe block the primer hole with molten lead or a steel spike. Will a .22 rimfire fit in the hole, base forward, to explode on impact? Fill the rest with black powder and seal the base....Gotta stop now, head spinning with ideas...... thanks for a great video guys 😰👍🍻
That Aluminum punch shot was AMAZING - Such a cool effect when the metal sheared / vaporized a channel of metal to make an explosive plume. The pressures involved (Stress) is nuts within the tips of contact brass vs aluminum... hahaha Wonderful video as always, Love to Dead Eye Danny - RIP -
Good shooting Danny. The round is decent to be sure but not a center fire bullet. Plenty good for bad breath distance but definitely not a hunting round.
You guys should do a "shoot the whole bullet" shell that has a dummy 50 cal loaded in it. Obviously turned down/run through a small die enough to not get jammed in the barrel.
The performance out of that was 10 times better than I thought it would be I thought it would tumble it's awesome how it just stays straight it almost acts as if it's a aircraft
You keep giving me ideas to experiment myself. Cut shells for one. Cut a 16ga shell fits perfectly in a 12ga bore. Cut petals off a AA12 wad load 16ga cut to shot/wad and load. Also just loaded up 16mm ball bearings with gun cleaning patch inside wad cup to further protect barrel and snug up fit in bore. Cheaper than scrap lead or buying .715 balls for loading. Love shotguns, load just about anything that fits.
My answer to the ammo shortage was 22 LR chamber adapters for a double barrel 12 gauge shotgun. Really surprising how accurate they are! I got the rifled version of the stainless adapters.
HARDWARE STORE CHALLENGE- Jeff, Greg and Danny go to the hardware store and attempt to make the best supersonic projectiles they can from only hardware store supplies. test them against each other and see who made the best ones.
All with a $15 budget
This deserves a thumbs-up, get it to the top and maybe they will see it & make it happen!
Thats easy just get some bolts and a screw screw them all on and drive em the screw end first i think that would be brutal af
It would be nice and front heavy and the screw part without the bolts might stabalise it or u could get a big nail and a foster slug ant put it in with a press and cut it off pull it then put tannerite under the nail then put it back in boom boom slugs lol
Why hasent this been done yet we need that video TFM
"That's what you want. A Pocket full of Wood." Raised the bar for OG quite a bit higher.
As ALF said “HA!” Raised....Higher! Ha!
I guess the jug reference was too easy.
Got the notification, had an ad up front and two in the middle.
So, the shell became the bullet. And quite well at that.
👍

All the coded lingo is working.

Great shooting “Dead Eye” and Jeff with the cameras, as always! Really enjoy all your content!!!
This man Evan Perry is a TFM legend, the contributions he's made from the time i started regularly watching has been out of this world
Absolutely fascinating the creativity that goes into these homemade rounds! So very cool!

Bead sight Danny, did good. 10/10 big man, stay cool guys.
Stick a primer into a few of those that will be "reaccelerated"
reaccelerated straight backwards at the accelerator.
The primers give a good pop, but not enough to send anything back at the shooter. Bored soldiers do weird things when out in the middle of the desert all night with nothing to do.

I knew Danny would nail that label with the regular slug.
He pretty much knows the POA with regular slugs. lol
Great video, so in part 2 do we get to see them loaded in the shell backwards, and one at the lead plate?
Pretty cool slugs, I'm impressed they all seem to hold together without warping

@@zadtheinhaler maybe with a reversed copper cone insert at the tip.... Super AP rounds😀
Maybe? I think you will need some way to ignite it, like a ferrocerium lighter flint.
If not you could put a primer on the front and add a flammable sticky material.

Amazing simply amazing getting a lot of uses out of that shell casing excellent presentation!

Good shooting Danny. The round is decent to be sure but not a center fire bullet. Plenty good for bad breath distance but definitely not a hunting round.

Once again, master Evan delivers 👍
Pocket full of wood! 🤣 👍
These projectiles we're pretty awesome. Never thought to put a shell in a shell lol
Hahaha you guys always make my day better
Overall it this is a really good projectile actually, they just need some very minor adjustments and they would be just about perfect.
Can’t wait to see round 2 of those! Man, they had some power behind those.
You're turning the clear gel into the new and improved ballistic booger! Sweet.
No matter what he blows up with a grenade , or tailgate cooks up , Edwin will primarily be remembered for prematurely picking up hot projectiles .
