Shooting a "Bolo" round from my Mossberg 500 12 gauge. A Bolo is a 6 foot string of piano wire with a lead weight attached to each end and when you shoot it it spreads apart (elongating) and can cut a 4 inch in diameter pine tree down or take cut a human in half! see the carnage in the video it destroys the wood post holding the orange net holding up the targets!

  • Was that a bolo round from Atlas?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • @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.

  • @urbman29

    What is COD?

  • sounds like Sodahead13 is filming

  • @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

  • @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.
