Verry good as usual
Great creator
Hey man remember me
It was awesome like always
Let me know if you want to to come to Kentucky with my ria vr80 and aREX delta m
And we can shoot!
I’m down
i love how every time he brings out the 500 Nitro now, he gives us new animals that are engraved into the gun. first the barrel lever was an unknown animal, then it became a chubacabra, now it's a baby velociraptor.
Yeah we had a good laugh about that too. Scott is quite the entertainment
Finally, another Cherokee. I aint never seen anyone else, actually for a confused second I thought I was somehow looking at my own comment that I just didnt remember posting.
That made me laugh so hard😂
It’s called the Edwin Sarkissian effect. Edwin’s grandfather is engraved on the trigger guard.
I am so glad you mentioned that. I thot i was losing my mind !!!!!
What did you think about today’s test? I hope you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
I liked it.
yes
Thank you Scott for making this video, you bring a smile to my face with your content. Keep it up
SCOTT U DA BEST
all i could think about was the movie TREMORS 😂
"I wanna see some energy transfer, NOT penetration!" 😂😂😂
Please put that on a Tshirt!🤣
The wife would steal it. 😅
I don't think you would survive the blunt force trauma caused by the bullet traveling through your torso.
What do you mean?
Has that never happened to you?
Just for those that don't know about blunt force trauma, that is called a flail chest. 2 or more adjacent ribs with at least 2 breaks creates a free floating portion of the chest wall causing difficulty in efficiently expanding the lungs leading to breathing difficulty. It is considered a very serious injury and can quickly lead to death if not stabilized quickly. That many ribs being broken in that manner would be an extremely severe flail chest and would cause immediately and extreme issues for the person experiencing it.
All 14 ribs squashed
Meatloaf
Noted
I looked it up on Google too.
There definitely would be punctured organs from the bone fragments. Also a strong possibility of stopping the heart from the impact
My man here takes a 50bmg to the face and does his own thumb-aid and lives without complaining once, even blows up several to show the dangers without a moment of anxiety or fear. But a drop of sweat and his world ends. Best part of the video IMO.
Watching Scott's arms slowly get more and more sunburnt as the video went on was very stressful haha
I think him trying to get the dummy ready was the funniest part 🤣
Feds: Open up Scott, we are here to take your guns.
Scott: Are you wearing body armor?
Feds: yes?
Scott. It doesn't matter.
This guy's content surely never fails to entertain us.
Thank You Scott.
Scott's underrated and I can't wait to see him blow up more (no pun intended)
It's the highlight of my week
he is THE BEST gun you-tuber ever
@@jakenichols2626 Hoping he blows more stuff up opposed to stuff blowing him up😂
Glad you are still alive! I remember selling armor at the gun shop I worked at. We had a small company that made great lighter weight level 4 plates and had an example that had been hit with .223 .5.56 Green Tip, 7.62x39, 30-06AP, and .308 all in one plate and the deformation on the back was impressive, the single plate stopped everything but the higher calibers would definitely rearrange your organs lol. Even if the Premiere armor had stopped the very first large caliber....your insides would be very uncomfortable lol.
I thought that is why they add spacers and padding in body armour to prevent just that?
Real talk: Wonderful to see your channel thriving! Sharing your recovery and straight-up getting right back to it have absolutely inspired and changed real lives for the better.
The torso unboxing and set up is a great reminder of why you should have "Real friends" to help you move the bodies.
Yeah, that back shot messed him up. Like getting punched by The Hulk.
Scott I know you Probably don't read down this far usually but I must thank you. I was trying to explain this concept to an 18 year old niece who is learning to shoot for self defense. She was concerned that A ballistic vest would stop transfer of energy. She understood the explanation but a practical demonstration is worth a 1000 words.
More like 10,000 words.
It will lol it'll be pretty much the same thing as holding a 9 mm single shot against your chest and feeling the recoil It's not going to do much... Especially a hard plate... A better question is why is an 18-year-old the concerned about facing body armor in a self-defense situation?
@@Johnny-tq9no because its better to know and protect yourself and never use it then to be in a situation of despretly needing one and not having it
@@Johnny-tq9no Johnny, have you seen the news lately? It's a very definite fact that a young female should know how to defend herself and be prepared and able to do so. I know Johnny, the thump of a 12 or even a 20-gauge at close range into a vest will definitely impact a lot of energy to the vest wearer. So now I get to ask, did you watch the video?
U do go on a bit but 1k a bit much.scotts a great guy glad u can get him extra views with teaching others..thats nice of u
1:50 Lmao, I bet the lady that checked it through the xray scanner probably had a heart attack xD
Nothing against Scott in particular. But I've noticed a trend amongst guntubers. "I want penetration test" proceeds to use hollow points and soft points. "I want energy transfer" proceeds to use solid brass or fmj bonded rounds.
Either way I'm glad for the video it's very informative l. Glad to see you've fully recovered
I'm glad to see the .416 Rigby again. It may not be the biggest round you have, but it always has impressive performance.
That's putting it mildly.
Its the caliber that was used as base for the .338 lapua, impressive indeed.
Body armor is designed to break up the projectile, very hard to do with a large solid projectile like the 416. A level 4 plate is rated to stop 30-06 black tip and keep the energy transfer below the internal damage threshold.
Just out of curiosity, what is the internal damage threshold? How much energy is required?
Scott said in the video that the Level 4 plate wasn't desinged to stop the rounds he was using (brass solids) He was just being optimistic lol
The US Army did testing in the early 2000s and determined that even if the then issued SAPI plates fully stopped the projectile, any impact of 2700fpe or higher would still produce significant internal damage.
@@Valorius Noted, thank ya.
I think 'Jacob' missed the entire point of Scott's video ..... FUN
Seeing all that energy completely vibe checking the dummy’s bones and organs is insane!
At least you didn't use a 9mm
That wouldn't blown the lungs right out
That CZ 550 with the 416 Rigby is BRUTAL, I would place it and maybe the next size up as the most dangerous of those rifles to face. The 700 is large, but...that 416 seems to have TEETH.
The 416 is one of my favorites to see, it was awesome in the bowling ball video
It's gotta be the speed, that thing is fuckin scary, straight vaporizes whatever it touches
Yeah I thought exactly the same. Those nitro projectiles are too big and they loose their piercing effect as we saw it here or in the bowling balls vid. That cz550 416 is totally insane 🤯 and tbh after bowling balls video I was expecting these results 😂
@@darrionj707 An Alaskan guide I know shot a huge brown bear with a .416 Rigby from across a ravine. It was walking uphill so he hit it in the back kinda between the shoulders. It literally planted that bear in the ground when it hit.
@@hansgruber9685 fungular maaaan. I lived in AK five Winters.
this mans table budget is astronomical
To everyone saying “stopping power” and “knock down power” doesn’t exist, this is the rebuttal. If it hits bone it deposits energy just the same. My big brother took a 7.62x39 to a US military ceradyne plate and it broke a rib
In this episode Scott finds out the difference between the words "can" and "will".
Those plates "can" stop those rounds. Weather they "will" or not is a different matter.
The moral here is don't trust a level 4 plate with big boy rounds.
Honestly, it's not really designed with elephant rounds in mind... It's meant to stop rifle calibers likely to be encountered in combat situations, and elephant guns and their ammo are far too heavy and unwieldy to be worth using as primary weapons, not to mention they're overkill. Plus, armor that can reliably stop such a round would itself likely be immensely cumbersome, and soldiers need to be mobile. These plates will reliably stop up to AP 30-06 (according to the manufacturer), which is already way more powerful than most militaries outfit their soldiers with.
The first elephant gun round with the brass solid was a poor choice. If it were lead, it'd have had a chance to dump some energy. solids aren't going to deform much. They'll zip right through anything. They're fast, light and strong. Exactly what will defeat armor every time.
I can't imagine how he didn't expect the first elephant gun not to penetrate the armor. He used the most overpenetrating round possible.
In this case it was all about the materials. Brass is a very hard, resilient metal. Lead is the opposite. I'm really surprised that Scott chose brass solids for this. They rarely expand
@@lemax6865 Nothing against the armour. In fairness its doing better than it should if its stopping anything from these things - let alone brass.
My point was more that just because it stopped a round from one of these doesn't mean it always will since its not rated for them.
I'm sure Premier can make something that will stop these every time but this isn't that.
The thing is, for the way armor rating is determined (as in, what level of armor) the actual requirement is much lower than most people assume when hearing what it can "stop" effectively. For example, when he says that the Level 4 plate will stop an armor piercing 7.62 round, the actual specs say it will stop exactly ONE armor piercing 7.62 round. If you put a 2nd round in the same place it's going through.
For some comparison, a L3 plate is rated to stop 6 standard 7.62 NATO rounds before being compromised. The more commonly found L3-A armor has some variance (mostly based on it's quality and design), but is rated to stop several 9mm or .44 magnum rounds.
The point of distinction is between 3-A and 3, with 3-A and lower usually being "soft" armor, while L3 & L4 are designed using hard plates. Hard plates tend to degrade faster for a variety of reasons, but are usually capable of stopping a more powerful round (well, one round anyway...).
That being said, I do still find it a bit sus that a 5.56 from an AR was able to deform the inside of a L4 plate like that. A 7.62 round is leaving the barrel at 3+ times the velocity and carries at least 2x as much energy from the start, so I'm not so sure I'd be willing to trust that particular plate to actually stop an AP 7.62 from penetrating....
Glad you covered this. Many think that ballistic this or that is the end all, be all. Demo Ranch did one about a ballistic face shield that may have kept your grape intact, but you'd still be a vegetable or worm food due to BFT.
BFT from a BFG hehe
Helmets and face shields are helpful if the projectile hits at an angle or from a distance.
@@hansgruber9685 Too many variables to discuss, but the statement stand regarding BFT. However, if you really feel that way, put on a face shield, let someone stand out at 300+m and pop you in the grape; then we'll see how that works out for ya.
@@yamahabiker1937 why so hostile. people don't wear armor because they expect to be shot. they wear armor just in case, and still try to avoid being shot. and a ton of life threatening injuries are due to various shrapnels, which a face shield would be useful for.
@@yamahabiker1937 the professionals vouch for helmets. many stories on yt of helmets ricocheting rounds way larger than it was ever meant to stop. stories of stepping over a guy who dropped after a headshot only for him to come to 20 minutes later, being only knocked out. would you rather take a shot at 300 with your bare skull or with the helmet on?
Absolutely love it! Informative and pure comedy. Keep up the good work!
That was awesome! One idea though, you should see if you can find those pressure patches they used on Mythbusters! They will turn from green to red if they are subjected to whatever PSI they're rated for, so you can see if the energy transfer is fatal
When my dad first got his Rigby, he set up to sight in with 3 oak logs, each about 2 feet in diameter, as a backstop. Shot a 400 grain solid through all of them. Level 4 plates stand no chance against that sort of power.
ALRIGHT! THAT TEARS MY MIND APART!
.416 Rigby is now my favorite Nitro Express cartridge. It just penetrates no matter what, I assume due to the smaller diameter but similar yet lesser power of other Nitro Express cartridges.
There is Nothing more redneck than these videos, i just love it😂✊💪❤️
I want to be a redneck

Never previously have seen a PT cruiser quite like that one (think that is what it was). Loved the entire video, thanks. I guess that solid brass projectiles are more resistant to fragmentation than thought!
It's so nice when you're having a bad day and a Kentucky ballistics video pops up.
especaly when it shows up as 1 min ago
shut up bot
That was probably a lot of us today, the markets weren't pretty lol.
THE BEGINNING JUST SCREAMS…”RUN FORREST RUN”….with a lil taste of Crocodile Dundee. Never ceases to amaze me. SCIENCE RULES! And Dog Gone…you guys must have a great deal of zombies running around on your property. I guess that’s better than having Sasquatch and Dogman out there.
Last bullet: “R I B S” Torso: “Rib machine broke” Bullet: “understandable have a nice day”
21:47 - that crunch sounded satisfying 😂😂😂
Love the fact that you had the "Science" shirt on the whole time and really show what us scientists have to deal with when nothing goes as planned/expected.
As someone who is literally a scientist, I can confirm this is what happens every time.
@@pokemon1895 It's more worrying if everything DOES go according to plan.
Metallurgy, chemistry, and physics! At the same time!😁😁😁
All I had to read was, "elephant guns" in the title to know that survival will be a solid no.
Incredibly fun to watch!! Thanks
That was another great one! You only keep getting better with the humor and science of ballistics!
Love the videos, man!
You deserve a TV show:D
The look on your face as you realize that first round punched thru the body armor......Priceless
Those 2 first guns were no surprise for me actually.. especially with the brass solids. I think those could penetrate even with FMJ since they are so much smaller in diameter and awfully fast. The last shot from the side really did show how much energy the 500 Nitro is dumping. Cool video once again! Keep on keeping on and let's see what you come up with next time.
That 416 shooting brass solids is INCREDIBLE.. WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A PASS THROUGH. .
discovered you like a week ago. I love the fact that the video doesnt go has planned. I was just as shocked as you! I love science
When you said "brass solid" I knew it was going to go through with the 416 Rigby. They drop water buffalo's with those lol.. knock elephants in the skull with them! And watch them plop down
Great training video Scott! Once again as a police trainer you can never account for " Murphy's Law". The brass rounds might as well have been armor piercing....This is great information and kudos to you for showing the actual truth that no one would survive that level of blunt force trauma even with a heavy ceramic plate. TK
You gonna tell the police that when they come to confiscate the people's firearms that they're not gonna have a good time?
acab. Cops protect capital not citizens.
@@sethdaboss245 Police aren't legally obligated to enforce the law (or save people like we saw in Uvalde). So if their boss (most places the sheriff) tells them to look the other way when they see a 'illegal' gun, they can and will. Be sure to pick your local leaders carefully, they can do a lot to protect you.
@@caseyb1346 Great advice, unfortunately we have many brothers living in counties with Democrat Sheriffs.
@@caseyb1346 they will not look the other way. Do not kid yourself.
If there's one thing I did not expect to see today, it was Scott shoving a rod into a zombie's hole
Thank you for sharing this videos with us. One of the most enterraining channels on CZcams! Congratulations!
That was SO gnarly! That last shot shattered the zombie skull like an egg! So much energy transfer! Thanks brother! Too much fun!
10:26 - “VIDEO’S OVER FOLKS!!!” 🔊
I thought that was hilarious as an actual ending! Even better that it was just a bit halfway through the video!!!
🤣🤣🤣
I wonder how many people bailed when they heard the outro and didn’t know there was more… 🤔
Even in the tests that completely penetrated you can see that shockwave moving through the zombie. Brutal forces at work here.
What a penetration
The forces in effect are UNREAL.
Awesome video as always!
Very cool fun video. That 416 Rigby and those brass solid rounds 🤯 WOW!!!
🤣When you said brass solids I thought hmmm those are typically meant for heavy game penetration.. Like 6 inches of elephant skull or water buffalo shoulder I wonder how body armor is going to take that? Well thanks to Scott, I guess we know now! LOL!!!
The body armor Are much stronger than natural bones of any kind on this planet. But i Get ur point
That 416 Rigby is absolutely wicked
That first, with the " threat"!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!!!
Gave me a robust chuckle !!!!
Awesome !! Love the videos keep'em coming
Nobody destroys a ballistic dummy quite like you Scott! I'm so glad you're shooting them now too. Watching those brass solids smoke them lvl 4 plates was pretty dope too, no disappointment here, that was sick💯💯😁🤘🤙
Scott: "Yeah let's see how much trauma we can do"
*Bullet zips through everything
Scott groans frustrated and I am rolling on the floor laughing xD
Your channel brings me so much joy, please upload more like this
A thoroughly enjoyable and interesting video, as always. Good job, Scott.
Awesome video scott! Learned alot like from the bowling ball video, those cz rifles with smaller rounds, if you wana call them, def can penetrate and explode things alot better, while the biggest elephant guns seem to dump massive amoumts of enegy, and this was a great demo of that. Enjoyed as always!
A lot of that has to do with the ammunition. The solid brass rounds are made for penetrating.
Soft points are made to fragment and dump all energy into the target.
🤙🏻
Edit. Fragment or mushroom.
@@muzzleflash7056 yep, and you'd want it to dump all of its energy in the target if you're hunting stuff the size of elephants.
@@austinkoeppen6122 actually on the biggest of game you want maximum penetration and solids are used more than anything else. The dgs is actually not a soft point but its not a true solid either. You need to break huge animals down and only solids can do that
As you turned the torso to the side for a fresh target, I thought to myself "it would make weird sense for him to cut of the shoulder" for a split second. Then I stopped thinking that thought for what should have been forever. But then, you actually did it! Then you PUNTED IT 🤣🤣
That PT Cruiser is badass!!! Great videos man!
I think I’d rather just let the bullet go through me when it comes to the 600 Nitro🤣 That slow mo looked absolutely gnarly.
8:18 Your laugh is legendary Sir haha
In all the elephant gun videos I'm not very impressed by .500 - .600 - .700 nitro, maybe they're too powerful and just zip through stuff. I always find that the effects of the .416 Rigby are way more spectacular.
Just big bullets going too slow to make the hydrostatic shock that makes things blow up
But the force they carry is unreal
@@mariabrown1278 right, 500+ grains is a lot of lead to stop. I’m not sure what kind of velocities these rounds are capable of but that is a whole hell of a lot of lead screaming down range.
I agree with OP though, .416 Rigby seems like an insanely effective round.
Edit .460 to .416
I'd like to see him get ahold of a 950 JDJ, a 3600 (that's not a typo, it's a 3 thousand 6 hundred) grain projectile with a 2200 ft/s muzzle velocity is liable to rip that zombie in half
@@msihcs8171 Might be the first rifle he wouldn't try to shoot standing up lol
This is such a great vid and funny i keep watching it over and over again and you absolutely have the coolest dad in the whole world the fact that he mans the camera and builds all those crazy customs is BOSS 💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Can you please just do an episode of all your skits just in one video because they're so good
That "Nobody likes shoulders!" legit caught me off guard and had me giggling like an idiot lol
Always a good day when Scott uploads ❤️
I never laughed so hard in my life this guy is wonderful I love your videos brother.
ya gotta love it .... thanks Sott + Dad ... oh- and Dino too 🤣
The next time you do this you should make your first shot on the side like the last shot in this video. The impact pushed the ribs out through the front of the chest and I'm curious to see if that would happen with no existing front impact damage. Keep up the good videos Scott.
It’s so good that see this channel at an all time high, getting to around 1 M views a video!! Keep it up Scott 👍
“Brass solid elephant round do not care about you’re level 4 plate” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video as always 👌
I loved this video. I've always heard that plates are just meant to stop the round from going into you, but you can still get pretty injured just from the energy transfer. But I've always wondered how injured. This was amazing to watch. Keep it up scott. I love these ideas you get for videos. Would love to see more of this maybe with some more common rounds.
The purpose of a bullet is to put a large amount of kinetic energy into a small cross-section. The point of armor is to enlarge the cross section of impact. 5000N applied to a cross section the size of a pencil lead is deadly. 5000N applied to a many kg mass spreads the cross section of that energy transfer in both time and space.
LOL @ 10:26
Kentucky Ballistics is the "Tool Time" of CZcams shooters, Scott has Al Borland charisma and Tim Taylor overkill.
Always entertaining
This is the test everyone has been expecting, judging by the comments on previous videos as well as my own curiosity! It goes to show that he will deliver exactly what the people want!
From all your science vids, im pretty sure i would go with one of the sub 50 cal elephant guns, with those brass solids they DO NOT mess around.
I love these SCIENCE videos 🧟♂️
Practical science for your everyday life!

Honestly I enjoy your acting, and humor. The guns are a nice touch. Thanks for being so goofy, and a good shoot. Bravo.
I just love this channel. God bless you and yours Scott. Thank you to Scott's Pops for all he does. Couldn't doit without you Pops. Lol. Happy 4th
Good to know that even if the elephant that you're hunting is wearing lvl 4 plate (Which is obviously quite a common thing), you can still down it with a brass solid...
but also, just imagine if those plates had been properly secure. I'm willing to bet a fair bit of energy was actually being lost by them pushing back off the torso.
These intro's never get old. always brightens up my day! Thanks scott.
having the torso leaning against a cinderblock without the rod will help demonstrate how much force there is by how far it pushes it back.
Excellent intro, the timing for "eye contact" was just *Chefs kiss*
Dude, you are just such a wholesome person, i glad to see you being successful, gives me some hope in the world
As soon as you said “brass solid” I knew they were going through.
😂The only one who is able to make me laugh in all my situations, with my anger, with my space, and with my boredom, I love you, man
So from a mechanic that absolutely hates pt crauisers…. That thing is freaking AWSOME!!!!
My conclusion from this experiment is that you are in dire need of a 2-bore stopping rifle in order to deliver the maximum amount of lead downrange in a single trigger pull.
I’ve been wanting him to get the 2 bore or the 1 bore punt gun or a 20mm
@@misguidedsaint3693 The puntgun is a really nice home defense gun, if you got a room in the house where you can comfortably swing it around to point in the general compass direction of the target.

Love the content man!!! So glad another deputy turned me on to your channel!!!!
Scott, your videos always make my day better. Thank you brother.
This has to be one of my favorite Kentucky Ballistics videos. Entertaining and educational. I've never handled anything more than a BB gun, so this channel has done much to "learn me right" regarding guns.
I remember reading an account years ago by one of the oldschool professional hunters in Africa, maybe Selby or Capstick, of how a client made a perfect shot on a rhino and when they approached it they found the body of a small bird which had been sitting on its back. There wasn't a visible mark on it, it had just been killed by the kinetic shock going through the animal.
Shockwave broke it's spine
Whiplash is the lower end of that
My brother has some sick stories from Iraq being a 50 gunner. Even if you miss but a round goes just past a person, it would do some serious damage.
Maybe hearth attack
@@hardcorehunter9438 I am so sick of that dumb myth.

Either you or your brother are talking out your asses. Who is it?
That CZ 550 is awesome. I have lots of CZ pistols going all the way back to 1924 but the only CZ rifle I have is a surplus Mauser they made for the Romanians. Very nice rifle, was barely used.
