Ball bearing steel, is a very high quality steel, that not many people know, it makes the best steel for a hard use fixed blade knife. Its carbides cut really smooth and easy and it's my favorite steel to sharpen. It just likes to get sharp! It's also one of the toughest steels arround. I have tried almost all the high quality tool steels and super steels out there...but ballbearing steel, will always be my favorite. Whenever I see slingshot ammo, I always think of a hammer,smashing them into a blade stock!!!

@@charlieberry8056 I don't have any videos but I can help you on 3 different things, that I really know and have experience. For Slingshot hunting, you have to get a good slingshot, with flat rubbers (stay away from the round rubber ones, that are made from steel and plastic, they are not accurate at all, even the most expensive ones) So, get a flat rubber band slingshot, made of laminate wood or any hard wood! Then for ammo, I guess you know what you need. KZread video and practice, help a lot. The diameter and the weight of the ball, determens the distance of the target. I mean, I would choose a more heavy ball, to shot at close distance and so on. Also the diameter of the ball, is another factor that will determine, what I'm going to shot. If I want to shot a glass window, then I choose a larger than 1mm diameter ball, to add to the power, that can break a glass easier. Be careful, I've seen steel balls, reflected from windows, back to the shooter! Always shot in an angle and don't be close to the target, except it's a Rabbit, that came in front of you! I'm also into blowguns, which is my favorite weapon, but fixed blade knives, is that what I know more about. I have huge collection, but I'm more a user trying always to find the best out there, than I am a collector. I don't "Baby" my knives, they all have been used for long periods, before I make my opinion on them. If I can help you more,please feel free to ask for anything I could possibly help. Thank you for your kind words.

Now that was a well spent 15 minutes. Very informative, thank you for posting.

This is an excellent test and he's a brilliant shooter! Really really accurate. However, I think that it would be necessary to shoot many of the same balls before you can determine a pattern. For example, you shoot six or seven 8mm lead, then six or seven 8mm steel, and so on. That way you can see whether there's really a pattern or not. I think that's how statisticians study patterns. However, this may not have been the purpose of the video and it's an amazing experiment nonetheless. Thank you for it.

Yeah. A bit mystifying.

You can even hunt with a steel pellet from 6mm to 12mm or whatever you want.I only recommend the marbles to shoot cans and targets.

Excellent video. But IMO needs to be repeated because you can see that because the gel block is not restrained, so when the balls hit the gel block it gets 'jolted', back a bit. This is particularly noticeable with the larger balls. This effectively reduces the penetration so skews the results . Repeat test and have a back stop for the gel. I suspect the larger balls will then show a higher penetration. This will be apparent particularly for the steel balls which have less mass / surface area & hence higher CoD than the lead.

What you said is true. More gel block should also be used, one block for each bullet.Almost because a bullet fired after the previous one could go further due to the channel already dug previously.

I still wonder if the 9mm lead would have faired better with heavier bands to give it a little more oomph? I thought it too would get passed them 10mm with the size of it and weight.

Great Video,!!

Great penetration test! I do still wonder what would be the best ammo for long range target shooting accuracy? Would the 8mm steel be the underdog in that case or would 8mm lead be preferred or even something more heavy? (these question are asked imagined the bands get maximized for every ammo type of course) And just a thought, I guess that if he would have shot a 10mm steel it could have beat or be in the same spot as the 11mm lead, right?! (considered that 11mm steel was deeper than 12mm I figure 10 might even top that) Or would 10mm steel land behind 12mm steel?! It would actually be the most important ball that could have been shot after this lineup, because it would go either second or third place or second last, interesting?! Also 9.5 or 10 would be more cost efficient and might be the preferred ball for my first question to be the best choice to not only cover penetration but also long range and accuracy?!

Excellent 👍

When I was a kid, we lived in Cyprus the locals used a length of 1/4" Square brown elastic, and a leather eye shaped patch, fitted with a thinner chamois pouch, they used to fill the chamois pouch with lead shot /pellets / marbles for bird / vermin shooting. We wrapped the elastic around our hands and over the thumb, many black nails later we got the hand of it.

Very informative video, thanks

What is your frame wide lenth sir

Drag increases at a square of the size of the object. For instance, twice the diameter would be four times more drag, such as through both air and gel... Weight increases with volume, so at a cube of the scale. For instance, twice the diameter would be eight times the weight... Slower speeds mean longer in the air, therefore more effect on gravity and wind. An excellent shot would be able to make allowances... Different materials spring faster than others. Whereas rubber bands spring faster than bows, different rubber bands spring differently too, and changing band size screws the testing... It looks like he should've been looking for the highest weight, for the smallest volume, as guides, and stopped when he found the deepest consistent hit, to find the best momentum... He really should have fired several, of each size, for a far better average...
