Jeff from the Taofledermaus YouTube channel has sadly announced the passing of his friend Danny who’s helped him with the channel for years. For those not familiar with the Taofledermaus channel, Jeff’s friends launch a wide variety of projectiles out of [Read More…]
Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! The Rimfire Report is all about the guns, ammunition, and trends that surround the rimfire firearm world. On new year’s eve, I happened across a video from one of my favorite gun YouTubers – [Read More…]
Surviving for Generations Jeff from TAOFLEDERMAUS frequently explores some more exotic and less well-known loadings and cartridges. Recently he’s dug up a relic of the depression-era – some Sears and Roebuck Co .22 Long ammunition dating back to 1932. In an [Read More…]
I learned about this cool little Pyro Creations device from a TAOFLEDERMAUS video. This is a miniature cannon that fires muzzle loaded projectiles powered by breech loaded 209 shotgun primers. The reason it is called 3 in 1 is that it can be equipped with one of the [Read More…]
Taofledermaus, perhaps best known for their experiments with various types of shotgun slugs and their great high-speed footage of those slugs slamming into things, have shared something much rarer. Shooting footage of not just a Gyrojet pistol but a Gyrojet Rocket [Read More…]
Two popular YouTube gun channels TAOFLEDERMAUS and C&Rsenal teamed up to prove or bust a myth! There is a popular belief that the trench shotguns issued to US troops during the WW1 were not only used for their main purpose of providing a huge firepower when fighting [Read More…]
Just when you think that Taofeldermaus is going to run out of things to shoot with things, he manages to find yet another absurd (yet utterly entertaining) thing to shoot with another thing. This time up, its a Katana or what looks to be a reasonably cheap knock-off [Read More…]
Lately we’ve gone over gun safety from various angles including negligent discharge, accidental discharge, muzzle awareness – the list goes on. We’ve gone over the four golden rules – rules you should all know and practice – and some [Read More…]
I had not originally intended to post this video but after seeing it begin to make a semi-regular appearance on social media, I changed my mind. Its appearance was accompanied with the words “Gotta get me some of these!” rather frequently, a statement [Read More…]
I cannot help but occasionally cruise Taofledermaus’ YouTube channel ever so often, and I usually end up doing so waiting to see what shotgun load he’s come up with now. In the past they’ve varied from interesting to strange to “don’t try [Read More…]
There’s not much more fun than shooting things that explode, and to prove that point YouTuber Taofledermaus decided to make his own reactive targets. According to Taofledermaus, he was put in touch with the Big Blast inventor, and things pretty much snowballed [Read More…]
You can always count on YouTuber Taofledermaus for new, interesting, and/or random shotshell creations. This time he took another shot at creating a shotgun round that would leave a visible vapor trail, utilizing the bulb of a transfer pipette to contain the liquid. [Read More…]
Taofledermaus has done a few shotgun-related tests as of late on his Youtube channel, among them being this one, which shows the use of a Q-tip in an attempt to stabilize a shotgun slug. Take a guess at the results before watching this to the end.
There’s nothing like a mystery round to pique the interest of gun aficionados all around the internet, and thanks to Taofledermaus, of Youtube fame, there’s a new one. A viewer apparently sent Taofledermaus two mystery shotgun slugs, so he took a close look [Read More…]
My friend John Saunders, of CNC NYC, teamed up with Taofledermaus to make CNC aluminum projectiles. It was Taofledermaus’ idea to have a projectile that would have pop out fins. John made three different slugs. Each successive one more intricate than the previous. [Read More…]
Okay, I was a little bit sarcastic in the title, but the idea behind Dragon Skin armor is to use overlapping discs of armor. That said, I would hope that they would not use a hockey puck as the basis of the armor, as it fails miserably in defeating either a .30 carbine [Read More…]
Another of my YouTube favorites, Taofledermaus, has appealed to both my love of IT and firearms. Setting up over 50 lbs of hard drives, he and his cohorts put a M855 “green tip” into 5″ HDD platters. I had high hopes for the light “armor [Read More…]
Taofledermaus, whose YouTube channel can only be described as equal parts entertaining, baffling, and sometimes scientifically relevant, has done it again with a New Year’s Day post you may not believe. In fact, aside from giving the standard “kids, don’t try this [Read More…]
I don’t think I have to say: Kids, do not try this at home. As we reported previously, Taofledermaus, unsafety expert and ammunition experimenter has solved the rimfire ammunition crisis for those who do not so heavily weigh the continued use of their limbs. He [Read More…]
