this is Jeff coming to you from the hot
zinc zone yes
these are zinc slugs let free they come
from Russia they're in the United States
and hopefully soon they'll be available
for sale these are made by a company
called tech rim we have the pleasure of
e in the first people in the United
States to shoot these and show you what
they do while the box is pretty plain
looking it does have all the vital
information we need we see the slug
weighs 20 grams the startup velocity is
500 meters per second and even has an
expiration date the shell is marked in
Russian which i think is pretty cool and
I believe it says tech rim eco Diablo
slug the roll crimp is interesting
because it has a small taper to it that
should help with feeding issues on some
shotguns looking at the slug itself you
can see that it's pretty much a clone of
the Lineman 525 slug while the slugs
looked very similar they differ in
density and also hardness zinc has a
melting point a little bit higher than
that of lead so it actually makes sense
to use zinc because it's inexpensive and
it's castable the alternative for a non
led slug is to use brass copper steel
all of which has to be machined which
drives up the costs even though the zinc
slug is much lighter than its LED
counterpart that just means you can load
these much hotter get flatter
trajectories and make up for that loss
and bass welcome back to later folks
Jeff and officer Craig here hey today
we're bringing you tech rims zinc round
not available yet in the US this they're
here in the United States but there's
not for sale anywhere yes so we're gonna
fire zinc against an aluminum block you
saw the aluminum block Danny shot last
week and made a weird ringing noise and
if you didn't go back and watch it so
let's go ahead and give this zinc round
let's go ahead and give it a dip it off
butterfingers dropped on the ground yeah
we're gonna run it through the weather
BPA four five nine and send it downrange
and see how it does
there you go so there's our impact go
off to the left left it I know I am a
leftist a little bit low a little bit
left but look what it did here how it
stretched that out we can say we had a
big spark - black just barely missed
keyboard Karl
so the TAF later Brewer just mentioned
that this is a 0% AR lower they block of
aluminum goes good it's a cookie that's
definitely it goes good no one in
California knows it's still illegal in
California could be turned into a guy
just thinking of it is having me illegal
thoughts you know right I have to give
this to sur kisi and have them take it
to Nevada Nevada for Nia yeah we have
found that the Diablo shape has
excellent ballistic properties we've
shot slugs made out of multiple
materials everything from candy aluminum
wood plastic using the Diablo shape and
they've all perform extremely well and
by the way the a blow is a toy it
doesn't mean the devil okay I'm ready
one interesting thing that we found is
that the hollow cavity in the tail of
the slug is unnecessary in a shotgun
slug it's easy to understand that you
might need that cavity there for balance
but it's completely unnecessary you
could actually get a heavier slug by
just making it solid thick rim zinc slug
non-lead the Russians are
environmentalists too
okay uh whenever you're ready
Wow 1575 tactical cookie jar
are you ready all they found was a face
down
we found that performance of these slugs
very satisfactory but because they're
using such a light slug that gives them
a lot of headroom it'd be very easy to
make high-performance powder loads with
these slugs that would drive them to
1,800 to over 2,000 feet per second
safely Jeff just put together a package
format at demolition ranch yeah he sent
us a package of dirt box of dirt do you
wanted us to shoot don't be a wanker
okay box of dirt every it's a real
crowd-pleaser I tell you everyone loves
box of dirt okay whenever you're ready
one for kids but for kids slug pieces we
dug out of the dirt it went right
through the box it hit on this side once
all would stop it and I I didn't think
it would shatter this low that's real
Texas dirt though from demolition ranch
that's the demo we could plant some
seeds in that and grow a in two days you
can have a whole crop yeah corn feed a
nation a lot of kids in Africa that have
been eating all of our other cast offs
so slug fractured you can see right here
broke into three four little pieces the
tail end of that thing just kind of
cracked right off slug fracture by the
way it would be an awesome name for a
German punk band
smug fracture
now our slugs shattered when it hit this
box of kind of wet dirt however my
friend Alexi in Russia who has shot
these before has reported to me that if
you shoot him into sand or other
materials like that you can actually
pull the slugs out completely intact and
reload them again ok we have a we have a
soaking wet owl sitting in a pool of
water ego so I was aiming for between
the eyes
they've been consistently left here so
it hit him right in the eye just right
beautiful now he's a Cottontail
owl tough old bird just like Angela
Merkel but look at this this is what's
cool right on this Oh
watch through your stainless steel plate
so in right out the back so missus TFM
it's not gonna have this for next
Thanksgiving yeah me through the
stainless steel frying pan or whatever
that is automatic turkey drainage system
yeah so far we've only shot these at a
pretty close range of less than 20 yards
the biggest reason for that is because
the zoom on my high-speed camera is
pretty limited and we wanted to really
observe the flight of the slug see how
it's actually behaving in transit since
we had an entire box of ten shells that
allowed us to take a few shots at a
further distance just to see how the
grouping is
okay how many he got left three three
rounds so he's gonna shoot it at the
goat target down there try to try to
keep the same point of aim so we see
what kind of grouping we get at 1500
YouTube yards yes or 35 American yards
yeah okay I'm ready when you are there
you go holding just a little bit right
okay okay so from 35 yards away we have
this six inch circle here I always hold
just a hair right because of all of our
rounds have been drifting left and I'll
be damned if they didn't hit dead sooner
there so you see the impact point sir
there's a lot of impacts yeah I need to
repaint that really but Lee spell tell
pretty sure that's from the 460 you can
feel those little divots everything else
is not bad not bad thanks mountain goats
mountain goat yep I've only got some
contact information like a phone number
physical address and an email address
for potential retailers to sell their
product I think it'd be very cool to
have real Russian marked ammunition to
shoot out your shotgun
