Shooting a "bolo" from a 12 gauge! (piano wire)

[hellfang1717]

I dont think that the cord is quite that long, maybe 6 inches but not 6 ft, you would not fit that into a shotshell lol. Still nice shot with the round.

[Flession]

Very cool, but I do wish the video quality was a bit better.

[spyderz1303]

I certainly would put one in a decent shotgun, it sounds like a recipe for a badly scored or pitted barrel!

[mkultra2300]

sounds like Sodahead13 is filming

[VaMoneyCow]

the buck and ball shells are bad ass also, MASSIVE damage!!

[crayon151]

DAMN!



[akkrauta]

I bet your range loves you guys... hope you stuck around to fix the target post you just ruined.

[xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx]

DAYUM

[gueto1984]

ahh at the mongo range

[davism4a1]

i wanna see one of these shot into a group of 2x4s stuck in the ground

[ballygeale1]

what is a bolo ?

[camerl2009]

@ballygeale1 a bolo shotgun round has to lead balls with a piece of

braided steel wire in both of them so thay fly and spin and are nasty when thay

hit something

[bioforce5]

the thing about bolo rounds is that theyre unreliable. what happened in this video is difficult to recreate as it appears o have functioned perfectly. usually they exit the gun wrong and dont spread out, thus eliminating the bolo effect, and when they do seperate properly, its not unusual for them to just wrap around the target instead of cutting through. so, theyre fun, but not recomended for use as a home defense ammo or anything like that

[akman1947]

@bioforce5 i think that cld probally be fixed with a differant wad

[BlackWolfK9]

that is badass 0.0

[WootWoW6]

"DAYUM!"

[codypanek]

Holy Shit.

I never knew there were "Bolo" rounds.

THAT is scary

[inkbot2000]

what purpose do these rounds have?

[fludblud]

killing your target in a very creative and messy way

[rob583]

you retards don't know anything about reloading. And Bolo rounds are commercially available, although nothing more than a novelty. They're not accurate at all.

[adrastea99]

As if a shotgun is supposed to be accurate

[urbman29]

@adrastea99 ........i shoot clay pigeons with slugs at 100 yards.STFU COD FANBOY

[adrastea99]

@urbman29

What is COD?

[NeoNSPETSNAZ]

@adrastea99 Call of Duty...it's a videogame that a bunch of people play and then go watch REAL gun/military related videos on Youtube and pretend that they know something...when they obviously don't. It's rather annoying. Look up any video about an AC-130 gunship and you will see what I mean...I play it sometimes but actually know about the stuff.

[rvbsmcaboose]

@rob583 some states have bans pn them because of a possible ability to behead or delimb humans and animals

[rob583]

@rvbsmcaboose I don't doubt that. NY, NJ, and CA come to mind as good candidates . . .

[VaMoneyCow]

@rob583 there ment to be used 20 feet or less from your target and they are devastating. much more lethal than any commercial round available. Bolo, Flechette, buck n ball and other exotics are all very devastating rounds.

[MrDiem2]

@rob583 Bolo rounds in a sawed of shotgun would be pretty nice for home defence, light, short and easy to clean and use, as you usually only have to shot about 5-10 feet or so, and if the cable streches 6 feet you are a really bad shot if you miss from that range

[auctionguyinmo]

@rob583 They don't need to be accurate for home defense. Just effective. Besides, they bought them. They didn't make them. Idiot.

[mullaneywt]

While i might agree that making your own exotic loads is probably not smart, skeet, trap, and sporting clays shooters regularly reload cartridges every day with no problem. Competition pistol and rifle do the same. Reloading itself = perfectly safe, though making up your own bolo round, probably not.

[BobbyIronsights]

I'll try it and post the results, I'm an avid reloader, and as long as the mass of the ejecta is known and used with an existing recipe, I'm sure it will shoot just like any other shell. The problem will probably be that the steel wire is so light compared to lead.

[obeyance]

@mullaneywt I dont think you can reload shotgun shells. The ends get marred up. I think you mean they load their own, no reload. You reload brass not plastic. Now... they have brass shotgun shells and they are about a dollar a piece and you can reload them.

[mullaneywt]

@obeyance You very much can reload shotgun shells many times, I've probably done about 7,000 this year. Google MEC9000. The plastic can get quite beat up and still be fine. You can also reload brass for bullets (pistol/rifle). I've never seen brass shotshells, though a quick google search suggests they exist, but aren't common at all.

[phil656565]

@mullaneywt i reaload all my rifle ammo, neck sizing only on win .243, bout 8 shots per shell, way cheaper than paying 20 bucks a box for ammo

[camerl2009]

@obeyance yes you can reload shotshell i do it and yes there plastic

the brass ones are for blackpowder and cant be used in a pump

action shotguns

[obeyance]

@camerl2009 They used brass casings up until Vietnam when fiberglass and plastic casings were the mainstream. Im sure it saved the military a lot of money changing from brass to plastic/fiberglass. But none the less, they used brass in their shotties, including trench guns, which if im not mistaken (sarcasm) are pump action.

[camerl2009]

@obeyance yes thay did but you cant now thay get hung up in the gun

now if you have the RCBS brass shell die the you can use them in pumps

but the new brass is nothing like the ww1/ww2 thay used plastic after ww2

up till then it was brass or paper.the new brass stuff is not made for modern

smokeless powder. only good old blackpowder like goex

[WurledPeas]

@obeyance LOL. That's funny. I guess we just bypassed the whole waxed paper hull thing that went on for about 60 or 80 years. Dude, brass hulls went out of mass production generations before Vietnam. Plastic hulls were mainstream in the 40s. Paper hulls from the 1890s or so. The military shotguns used waxed paper hulls in WWI and WII through Korea.

[xXCRABBXx]

it didnt cut the wood!!!!! 1 star

[Deradundrum]

So. It's still pretty badass.

[Deradundrum]

faggot.

[specialedday]

Was that a bolo round from Atlas?

[lbailey2705]

no idea who made it man I got it from a gun show in Indy! the name atlas sounds familiar but i dont know for sure!

[specialedday]

Oh, ok, I've only seen Atlas brands for sale, just looking for opinions on it, when you shot it, how was the accuracy?, it seems it would be random, am I wrong?.

[KoreyGM]

You can make your own bolo rounds using piano or aircraft wire and fishing weights

[Fishyninjabreadman]

wouldn't reccomend it though, making your own casing is dangerous unless you have the knowledge and machinery to do so and refilling spent cartridges are even worse.
