most badass thing I've seen today

Ever heard of a "4 bore" round? Wikipedia calls this round "obsolete," but based on the video below (in which Scott uses a custom-made rifle), such rounds do still exist,* and they pack a huge punch. Watch what happens to a pair of ballistic dummies protected by body armor when a 4 bore round hits them. Body armor basically means nothing.

*The above-linked Wikipedia article does have an annotation about modern versions of the round, even noting Scott's video above.

  1. Interesting. Been a long time since I've fired a rifle, but I think the biggest I shot was a .30 caliber.

    What really impresses me, though, is the diversity of these videos you find. Hell, just today, you had this one on guns, a hilarious take on Middle Eastern music, the perils of socialism, John Wick's immortality, and Apple Vision. The YouTube universe is definitely your domain--I have no idea how you find these gems on a daily basis.

    Glad you do it so I don't have to! Actually, I wouldn't even try, so you show me what I'm missing. Much appreciated!
