Shotgun Wax Slugs Physics Explained Reverse Granular Impacts

Explaining the physics of how a wax slug works and why it is able to do so much damage. We explain how a connection was made with granular impacts and how the impacts of wax slugs are actually granular impact -- in reverse. I wanted to explain how these improvised rounds differentiate from a normal bullet or solid lead slug. Some of you may be interested in the science behind these unique rounds. A little geeky and dry but I hope you enjoy it and understand the properties. • The Box of Truth How bullets react with sand • http://theboxotruth.com/docs/bot7.htm • - • Granular Impacts study • http://scifair.org/news/physics-news/... • -BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR OWN WAX SLUGS • -Safety Warning- Please read. • I read a posting at AR15.com about someone's shotgun blowing up from using wax slugs. • There is a lot of speculation about the cause. The shotgun was a Maveric (the econo-line from Mossberg). Some say he may have shot a squib (the primer didn't ignite the powder, but caused a barrel obstruction) The user had modified the shell, replacing the wadding with one from a different brand of shell too. • http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_1/3685... • - • Again, I stress, use these at your own caution. • How to make wax slugs: • • Wax Slugs- Stuff you NEED to know b... • - • Music by Tunguska Electronic Music Society • Olga Scotland - Big Cosmic Fish
