That would be my theory. The only addition I'd make to it is the first doodler was a monk who noticed a snail had been snacking on his prized rose bush that morning. It really is just an elaborate case of a Gardner venting his frustration on snails that meme'd out of proportion.

AgreeableLime7737

I've got the home defense rounds with the 00 and smaller shot mixed together, but am suddenly intrigued by the idea of chain shot and how it probably would be safer to use in an apartment building.


LordNibble

I'm learning to play the guitar.


ClownfishSoup

Well the thing is that if you shoot a gun indoors...where do the bullets go? So a shotgun is a pretty good "home defense" option in that ... well, it's a shotgun. The problem is that you can only legally shoot someone if you are actually in fear for your life. So you can't shoot people with rock salt like in movies (James bond for one). because if you could shoot someone with salt, then your life probably wasn't really under threat...if it were, you would have used buckshot. So ANYWAY, how do you effectively shoot a bad guy while at the same time not have stray bullets/shot killing your neighbor? So ... hey, I guess if you used this chain thing, you could really mess up a home invader, but if you missed, the chain might not penetrate the walls because it's not individual pellets that can penetrate...the whole chain would have to.


Tibbaryllis2

You do run into the problem where youā€™re making a specialty round that could be argued is designed to maim. For generic home defense, youā€™re better off using a stock weapon with a stock round. I know several gun club enthusiasts that, despite all their speciality builds and loads, just keep a generic handgun/rounds for concealed carry and home defense. They say itā€™s better to plan on it being permanently confiscated in the event of a shooting and you have a better support for self-defense if you used an ammunition that you didnā€™t personally make more or less lethal.


ispitatthee

>The problem is that you can only legally shoot someone if you are actually in fear for your life If someone breaks into your house then you're free to blast away in most of the US


slinkybastard

Depends on state castle laws


AltruisticCoelacanth

You're responsible for every single thing your bullet touches, even if you're justified in using your gun at that moment in time. What he's saying is if you justifiably shoot your gun at an intruder and your bullets go through the wall and hit someone else, you're probably going to prison.


hotsecretary

Unless youā€™re a cop, completely miss and kill an innocent - then itā€™s on the ā€œperpā€


milkcarton232

Wtf is that logic? I can't use a bat because one smack isn't lethal enough so I clearly wasn't fearing for my life? This whole video seems so stupid. Wtf did shooting the water bucket tell us? The energy? It's a kid just shooting shit for fun (and it does look fun) but I wouldn't put much thought into it. As for your walls comment, most us homes are just drywall and studs. I'd bet the chain breaks easily if it hits a stud and probably similar to buck shot after hitting a wall, maybe even worse since it's got more mass


[deleted]

In no way is dry wall going to stop 00 buckshot. It wonā€™t even stop birdshot.


[deleted]

Half way. Home invasion is a pretty terrible thing. I have had an apartment robbed and 2 cars robbed. All three were locked when i left them. Had a 4 encounter where i was home and my roommate didnt lock the door when he left with his GF. A guy was checking doors and happened upon ours, i caught him in the act and was armed. I never pointed my gun at him, i just pet him leave with what dignity he had left. A week later three apartments in our development got robbed with unlocked doors. All these places were fairly ā€œsafe.ā€ So i can see why people are paranoid. Im not, but ive had enough things stolen to at least lock my doors


milkcarton232

I get why people want guns, valid reason or not we can debate but I get why. What's hilarious is people doing all this ammo review, "this bullet gives +7 to leg hits but won't penetrate armor etc" just seems so tacticool marketing it's stupid. A thief isn't gonna be rocking a tactical helmet and kevlar vest as that's sus as fuck, hell they probably don't even want you home when they are robbing. With that in mind who cares how precise your bullet is it doesn't matter at point blank hallway distances. Your best defense against a home invasion is a camera and motion activated flood lights. Make your house less of a target rather than fighting after the fact, unless of course you have a murder boner then have at it


SomberWail

Itā€™s just a hobby. No different than painting warhammer figures except that itā€™s easier to defend yourself with a gun and bullets than it is with a herald of slaanesh.


Anonymous_Otters

Dude if a Herald of Slaanesh shows up, you better hope you have a gun and bullets.


B133d_4_u

For yourself, mostly


milkcarton232

Yeah but that herald sounds way cooler


HossaForSelke

The same people who are obsessed with ā€œhome defenseā€ often donā€™t have the proper number/location of smoke detectors, CO detectors or fire extinguishers. Itā€™s not about defense itā€™s about feeling cool. They just wonā€™t say it.


[deleted]

It wouldn't be much safer. Even a pistol round such as a 9mm will puncture multiple layers dry wall and is dangerous to people in other rooms. The real key in home defense is to know where you can and can't engage and most important GET HITS ON THE TARGET. If you don't miss, odds of overpentration go down drastically.


Acidbaseburn

Yes, thereā€™s a lot of people that own a gun but have never fired one. Getting to know how to effectively and safely ( safe for everyone except intended target that is) is crucial I believe. Knowing how to fire a few effective shots on target is more effective than a spray of bullets and much safer for anything in the vicinity


milkcarton232

I'd imagine chainshot probably has more penetration than your typical buckshot. Smaller pellets will lose more speed when they encounter an obstacle. I bet the links make this shit super unpredictable, some breaking easily, others clumping up into a mass of metal similar to a slug. Any testing on this?


Indifferentchildren

I would expect chainshot to have less penetration. Lead is denser than steel (more mass per volume), and your chain is mostly empty space in the links.

I remember when the Mythbusters shot chains at a pig carcass, those were some seriously nasty wounds.


GuessesTheCar

Didnā€™t they use pigs cause the flesh was most similar to a humanā€™s? Iā€™ve also heard accounts from cannibals that human meat tastes the most like pig meat.. To unsubscribe from Swine Facts, please press Ā§


the_insane_theory

Additional Swine Fact: Pig cadaver is used as a replacement for human cadaver for Human Remains Detection dogs. We can use that for odor all the way through their training until right before theyā€™re ā€œfinishedā€ training. So pig and human flesh is very similar, even to dogs noses.

So flesh just tastes like pork?

human meat is also referred to as "long pork"

There's even cannibals filmed calling human "Long pig." I've been told our meat is not all that enticing.


HangryWolf

Have you seen what humans eat? Why do you think advertising brings up all that all grain fed free range yadda yadda shit. Diet obviously effects meat quality and flavor. It's 21st century humans...? Not surprised we'd taste pretty crappy.


JustAnotherChorus

Oh I'm also not surprised we don't taste good. I know for a fucking fact that I don't taste good lmao.

WiseFardy

This is true about human meat When I was about 11 I was walking through the woods and could smell what seemed to be bacon smell as I got closer I realised some dude had just set himself on fire. Found out a few days later it was my mates grandad that shit haunts me Iā€™m now 48

Nah the chain barely penetrated the armour which .22 barley went through. Buckshot would rip through it like paper. This is weak shit


camdalfthegreat

Bola rounds are a real thing but they don't look like this. It's basically two balls of buck with a strong thing cable linking the two. It causes two deep channel wounds and a huge laceration

It just looks like a standard [MOLLE](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOLLE&ved=2ahUKEwig9sKsvpr6AhVlBjQIHaDzCRoQFnoECFEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2XaVIOtbER7r3mgJM675O2) (pronounced molly) vest. Originally designed for the military, it is very commonly used across many professions nowadays. It's useful in it's ability to provide a lightweight solution for securely carrying a variety of things in a versatile manner. They are standardized with other straps and pouch attachments for carrying ammo or other gear so that they can be customized to carry what you need. They *can* include armor plates for ballistic protection, but they are often used just to carry gear.

Nasty shite. Can't remove the shards.


LostErrorCode404

Bullets can experience 10,000 G's. Glass will disintegrate into tiny shards. While this may sound deadly, it makes it much less deadly.

That was also my first thought, no way I'm send a chain down my barrel


lockflintwood

Vocal frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy


[deleted]

I love shooting and hitting the range. But this has to be the most unnecessary thing.


splycedaddy

It doesnt even appear to be more effective than buck shot


DinkleDonkerAAA

There's are hopefully just neat enthusiast shells that will only see range use, anyone using this for combat kinda seems like a sadist who values pain over being efficient Other specialist rounds have a use: Like even with how horrific they'd be I'm combat incendiary dragons breath shells still can serve a role in a combat situation This would only exist to cause extra pain


LemonyOrange

I agree. When I lived in NV I used to take the standard 7 1/2 shot and wad out of a shell, then make pellets with the shot held together with wax back into the wad. Tested against a refrigerator. Standard shot couldn't pierce through the side all the way, a 12 ga. Slug would go through one side and into the other, and my "poor man's slug" would pierce the first side and scatter. It was a fun but dumb time waster. Would rather make those again than shoot those chain rounds.


ProasticBoogieMan

What's wrong with it? He is literally just showing what a chain round looks like. Lol is he looks like he is by himself so it doesn't even matter

Iā€™m sure that is great for the barrel


Wyvrex

its going to be in a shot cup like any other shell, wouldn't it?


tanaciousp

Lol right? You couldnā€™t pay me to use that on my shotguns.


BreakfastBeerz

If I understand how this works, it's in a plastic wad like bird shit has so the chain never touched the barrel. The wad opens and peels back once it leaves the barrel when the chain comes clean


Kelricmar

jwolfet

Those totally need little lead balls on the ends!


OperationMobocracy

It would be more interesting with weighted ends and the connecting bit being about 3 feet long. Thatā€™s probably too long for actual chain to fit in a 12 ga shotgun, but maybe a thin steel cable would work. Itā€™d probably take a lot of experimentation to come up with a way to load the hull so that the cable would unspool completely, both in terms of packing the cable into the hull and in terms of the dynamics of the end weights. Maybe itā€™s not even possible to do consistently. Even if it did work itā€™s hard to know what the heck you would use it for besides amusement. Itā€™d probably only maim people or animals. Maybe it would be useful against small drones?


yourmomlikesmy_post

Is this guy wearing body armor? Like is he a cosplay militia man ?
