.458 SOCOM "Hogzilla" Taofledermaus on Sons of Guns

[OmnipotentTechnique7]

i wouldnt mind stickin my snake in paiges pooter from american guns. xD

[Ionracas85]

Im looking at my Rock Island Armory catalog this very minute at ARs that are chambered for .458 SOCOM. Real happy to know that as usual Red Jacket is leading the way in stuff that has already been done, well them and most rap artists. Cant stand this show. Rather than have them custom build something, go to your FFL and ask them to order you one factory new.

[taofledermaus]

@Ionracas85 Yeah, they made it seem like they actually built the upper for their AR. Since you can buy just the .458 upper, you don't have to go through an FFL. You only have to do that for the registered lower receiver.

[GUNNY89]

if only Sons of Guns gets cancelled they misinform a lot of people

[taofledermaus]

@GUNNY89 I doubt there will be another season of SOG. It sounds like the company is falling apart, not just in the show but in real life.

[GUNNY89]

@taofledermaus i hope i have a lot of people asking me to send their gun off to them so they can deck it out or make it FA then i have to educate them that SOG is a bunch of idiots but on another note have you tried taking the shots and wax and putting it in a slug mold and loading it that way

[taofledermaus]

@GUNNY89 I haven't tried that. Part of the appeal of waxers is the simplicity of making them, so in order to keep them easy to make, I am going to try to lighten the tail-ends of the slugs using just wax, then pour the shot/wax mixture on top of that. When we have good weather again and another chance to film it, we'll show the results of this minor-modification and see if we have better luck.

[GUNNY89]

@taofledermaus you should make a penetrator round take a candle drill a hole fill with shot/wax mix or a partition load lolz

[alec3459]

@GUNNY89 alot of the false information is due to discovery they want to make everything dramatic and unreal

[joshdrobny]

what kind of buttstock is that?

[ThePostal67]

Reminds me of when I had my 54 Cal Thomson Center at 120 grains, punishment!!!!

[TheBuckyHD]

thank god its the last season of that shitty show...

[MarcoLueftner14]

boring!

[airsoftsmackthewall]

get a 950 jdj.

the muzzle brake weighs 18 pounds lol.

[turayde]

Quick question, does the recoil from the larger round mess with the optics?

[GUNNY89]

@turayde not with an EoTech

[turayde]

@GUNNY89 gotcha thanks 

[turayde]

Spikes Tactical is awesome

[crambone34]

just wondering,,you think you could mount that aimpoint just a LITTLE hire?..lol

[ghostcell911]

@crambone34 Hire=job interview gone well... higher=up more

Not trying to be a jerk, it's just that you maybe were never informed properly...

[14goldmedals]

I hit pause by fluke at 00:11 and in the upper left corner slow-mo frame the bullet was about a foot from the barrel frozen in time! Think I could do it again? Nope damn looked very cool.

[Montyfiable]

Do you know what this means? In Canada we can now have 30 round mags for our ar 15s. This is because the laws here only regulate the capacity of the intended cartridge, so if it is stamped 458 we can put 30 .223's in it still.

[76cutlass87]

i got a 45/70 pistol.. haha.. has a 430 grain bullet that runs thru it.. n with this .458socom rifle... is a 500 grain... my pistol is so much scarier..! cuz its in a pistol not a rifle... ;-) step ur gun game up..! bigger the better..! ide love to hav a .458socom tho

[CFProject153]

0:43 really love the Spikes Tactical Lower Reciever

[tas1561]

nice shot

[switchingtomac]

Very cool, I watch that show, sorry to hear he is having some legal troubles, been down that road, it's not very fun :(

[FPSoutback]

Best of luck with getting a TV spot :) I was approached by Nat Geo to use a youtube vid once, send me release forms and what not to sign but my video was so old and taken on a tape that I couldn't provide a good enough quality vid. I think the series was called "blow down" or something to that effect, on demolitions - vid was reuploaded here: /watch?v=Dd35Gm_tW2Q hope to see you on the air.

[VicariousReality7]

ow does 458 SOCOM compare to 50 beowul? Wic is more powerul?

[taofledermaus]

@VicariousReality7 From what I read the ballistics are very close.

[campr723]

@VicariousReality7 Ive shot both and they are very similar. Beowulf is just straight menacing though.

[HauptmannDeaf]

@VicariousReality7

I think it is 50 beowul because of large diameter. Because I have .45 acp glock and .50 GI glock kit, I see that .50 GI is really powerful than .45 acp because large diameter bore and heavy bullet.

[BikerTrashWolf]

I dont care for sons of guns. too much of the stuff they build is janky looking. the worst was the epiode they tried to invent a knife that shot its blade (like a spetsnaz knife) and they acted like it was some revolutionary idea. or the 12 guage "gatling gun" they built. Or the kill stick for alligator hunting that I KNOW i have seen before it was "invented" on their show.

side note: Was thinking you might have actually been coming to Louisiana.

[taofledermaus]

@BikerTrashWolf My budget doesn't allow me to do that yet! Yeah, a lot of the stuff they

"build" is pretty corny. But the show is obviously aimed towards entertainment rather than anything else.

[BurnHefty]

@BikerTrashWolf the thing that was different about their design was that it used black powder to fire the blade instead of a spring

[CptHellHound]

@BikerTrashWolf Remeber you can't just put pieces on each other like legos and come out perfect it takes skills and lots of hard work just to think how to build it also the Ballistic knife its illegal to have a Spring ejectile form of a Ballistic knife only way you can make one if you use Gunpowder

[blackhawk42x]

Lol I think we get are music from the same places. Cuz I know I used a song like that in one of my videos.. Small word:)

[taofledermaus]

@blackhawk42x It's tough finding cool music that allows commercial use.

[Braeden123698745]

Whats that on the bottom of the mag? I've seen them in airsoft as winding wheel protectors but I don't think real mags have winding wheels.

[14goldmedals]

You spank that retard Hayden! Your vids are great my friend. And getting the news that that inbred, rude, know-it-all may find out what the largest caliber his sphincter can take is has made my 2012!

[LocutusIsBorg]

All the "legal troubles" he's having are just rumors.

[taofledermaus]

@LocutusIsBorg No, I've seen the court papers about how he scammed one of his investors who bought 10% stock in "Red Jacket Firearms".  I put a link in the description.

[LocutusIsBorg]

@taofledermaus Well from what I read (and I read about half of it) it looks like they swindled him out of $10,000 and now he wants in on 10% of the company. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the company is worth more than that now, probably closer to half a million? Either way, the plaintiff only claims rights to 10% of the company and there's no reason he would go to jail. He could just as easily settle outside of court.

[imodyoumom]

fuck yeah taofledermaus in tv!!

[NurseMan1911]

Oh my god the slow mo made it look like you hit the optics with a sledge hammer

lol

[BeastGT87]

its hard to believe doing this in "automatic" mode

[billhaley1868]

Wow, congrats, Jeff! Hope to see it on TV!

[taofledermaus]

@billhaley1868 Thanks Bill! I thought the producer was bs-ing me when he contacted me. It didn't make any sense to me that they'd not use their own footage for the show.

[ryukenosuke]

Wow, congratulations, Jeff. You're a youtube celebrity, now. ( :

[taofledermaus]

@ryukenosuke haha, I don't know about that!

[CasioEXF1Freak]

I wish I could post the link to the court case but I cannot.

[taofledermaus]

@CasioEXF1Freak My brother sent me the "deposition" (I think it is called) I could put the link in the description.

[CasioEXF1Freak]

Hopefully you'll get some cash out of the footage they used before the show ends up cancelled

[taofledermaus]

@CasioEXF1Freak  I did get paid a little, it took them a while to "remember" to pay me though. They are supposed to send me a DVD of the show too.

[flatblack300zx]

congrats hope they use it now i want to see that episode even more now haha.. :)

[DIECASTER]

Google search....

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms settlement During a routine inspection in 2009, Red Jacket could not account for ten registered guns. In a settlement, William Hayden and Stephanie Hayden surrendered their gun-making licenses and were allowed to choose a licensed individual to control Red Jacket. Initially, that person was Vincent Buckles, but Buckles has left the company and now two others individuals control the company.

[daewooparts]

@DIECASTER fck BATF, its a quazzy gov't agency that actually hires employees that know nothin about firearms and just harrass the gun industry while letting guns get sold legally to mexican cartels via Eric Holder , it should have its own license yanked by the people

[taofledermaus]

@DIECASTER Interesting! They seem to be in a lot of hot water. 

[bdlaurain]

congrats man!! All the best!!

[taofledermaus]

@bdlaurain Thank you!

[ms3bani]

it's interesting to see how many people are overjoyed and excited at the idea of seeing red jacket fail. remember what you see on "reality tv" is unedited, 100% factual, and has no agendas.

[XempireX18]

lol, r u promoting son of guns? thats a stupid show. promoting guns=promoting wars and violent. son of guns=bunch of sobs showing off their guns. disgusting!

[taofledermaus]

@XempireX18 I was just letting everyone know that they purchased my YT footage for the show. It's something I'm proud of as an amateur videographer.

[Batchelli]

That's a fat ass cartridge, i would call it.. "thumb" or something like that =)

[JesseAndMike]

Awesome! :D Hope they use your footage! Exciting! :)

[taofledermaus]

@JesseAndMike It might show up for just a few seconds. I'm excited about it!

[TheSonofthunder7]

Wow my comment is going to stay on subject, that is the ammo you were shooting, That was some really Awesome stuff. I loved how it vaporized that freaking melon. then the 2 liter it drain that thing faster than Hickoks uzi. That is an awesome round.

[glennwih]

Sons of Guns is reckless and a bunch of morons. They do not practice safe shooting and have no idea wat they are doing. I have heard many complaints about their over-priced POS guns.

[MrNelsonButterscotch]

@glennwih Overpriced is an understatement.....

1,100$+ for a fucking AK style rifle is horseshit. You could get an M4, a cheap red dot sight and like 200 rounds for that much.

[Hawkgx28Pyro]

I don't care for Sons of Guns really. If your correct about him being jailed it will be their first and their last season. American Guns I think is a far better show when it comes to firearms.

[Cobalt135]

@Hawkgx28Pyro It seems well documented that the owner (Wyatt of American Guns) is an asshole and a fraud.  You can read all about him on the internets......

[taofledermaus]

@Hawkgx28Pyro Believe it or not they are on their third season! Time flies!

[txmalcontent]

Great footage, I hope Discovery uses your film and you get paid. Sons of Guns needs to go off the air, that show just makes me cringe. It portrays gun owners and manufacturers as morons. Couple that with unsafe gun handling techniques and you give anti-gun folk more "ammo".

[The1911Channel]

that round is a beast! I'll be tuning in! mike

[tfmairsoft]

shot a 444. today that count?

[215alessio]

I hope they pick that video with the AK47 where you shoot trough alot of fruits in a row!

[taofledermaus]

@215alessio Chances are it will be one of the clips I put in this video.  I'm guessing either the shooter getting hit in the mouth in the recoil or maybe one of the shots at a milk carton.

[215alessio]

@taofledermaus I see, but you have way better video's than those they want to show...

Maybe they don't want to show your best videos due the fact that they would be better than those made by Discovery itself...

haha :)

[Farside26]

That show is a terrible representation of the firearms industry as a whole and what gunsmiths do. If it's canceled I will not shed a tear. I do love your videos, be it big bore or air gun always great quality and entertaining.

[aderonn]

Great video. I didn't know any of that info in the description. It really sucks to hear all that.... I like that show. Hopefully your clips get put on the show though, that would definitely be something to be proud of (not that your channel isn't already something to be proud of).

[EliteAmericans]

I think your videos are better than anything on sons of guns.

[AmericaStandsStrong1]

@EliteAmericans I'd be willing to bet a lot of money on that claim.

[taofledermaus]

@EliteAmericans Thanks! lol

[IxRI0TxxxMAK3RxI]

that thing has a shit ton of kick

[taofledermaus]

@IxRI0TxxxMAK3RxI It really isn't a pleasant gun to shoot. Kicks more like a 12 ga than a rifle.

[mrbadx19]

i was in a New York Times video last year, was on for a whole 3 seconds. the guys were making a video at a car meet outside of chicago, asked me if they could film me driving by. so i've got 14 minutes and 57 seconds of "fame" left...LOL

[rwallen11]

I just like the show because it's about guns :) Shame if it was cancelled, there isn't too many out there...

[taofledermaus]

@rwallen11 It isn't cancelled yet, but I suspect it will be.

[HemiFreak94]

@taofledermaus didnt they loose their gun smithing licence?

[taofledermaus]

@rwallen11 The drama stuff on the show makes me cringe and difficult to take the show seriously. Maybe they put that stuff in the reality shows so wive's will watch. No telling.

[rwallen11]

@taofledermaus lol, I agree... If I didn't have dvr to skip that stuff I probably wouldn't watch.

[KiloSierraAlpha]

Sons of Guns lost their FFL... lmao... what a bunch of stupid retards.

[taofledermaus]

@NiceNineMillimeter He's probably going to end up in jail over that. He seems to be somewhat of a jerk on the show but in real life he seems to be a major asshat.

[Supermassively]

All reality shows are idiotic. None of them are truly "reality". They're all staged and scripted and the "characters" are told to be more overdramatic and to cause hostile situations to appease the morons who watch them. Hell, even Mythbusters has gone in that direction in the last few seasons.

[daewooparts]

@Supermassively yup !reality TV, same goes with my friends korilla on the food network "the great foodtruck race" it all was a bunch of bullshit to make them look bad

[FuzzyDicePimp]

Nice montage, definitely going to see that episode one way or another to see if they used your footage!

[taofledermaus]

@FuzzyDicePimp My luck they'll scrap my footage, lol. 

[AmericaStandsStrong1]

American Guns is decent, Sons of Guns is rubbish and that Will guy is a totaaaaaal dick.

[Fordfanforlife777]

@AmericaStandsStrong1 American guns is the worst way to represent anything having to do with American firearms!! Just look at the wife, in a tank top showing off her silicon and the acting is SOO BAD. Also Every episode goes like this; a guy walks in they talk then he says " Well we can make you one" then half way through "We got a problem" Then they always make the deadline. Oh and the daughter is a mindless face for tv. You could probably pick apart Sons of Guns too.

[Mrcaffinebean]

@Fordfanforlife777 Haha so true!

[AmericaStandsStrong1]

@Fordfanforlife777 Yeah because SoG is soooo different. At least on AG they don't destroy beautiful historic rifles.

[dammitcrap]

his daughter lost her license as well, though im sure you are aware of that in your own research. that sucks... sons of guns was way better than american guns... and stephanie hayden is so hot. i would love to swab her bore, if you know what i mean

[daewooparts]

@dammitcrap gunna use your shotgun for that ,or a pistol

[outdoorrat]

Cool! Hope your clip makes it on there!

[MrMegaborntoride]

first!@!@!@
