The lore from garand thumb is better than most films produced in the past 3 years

Garand:"8.6 through 3 blocks, please stop." The 8.6 round :"How bout nooo" 😂

After seeing the RIDICULOUS penetration from that crazy fast twist, I really want to see this put through a battery of tests for barrier penetration. I'm talking sheet metal, windshields, solid wood door, plywood, exterior walls, even concrete block. Hell, toss in level 3a and level 3 body armor to the mix too. That would really drive home and give a great understanding of the real world penetration capabilities of this fascinating newer round.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how amazing the sound design was for the "Clever girl." scene from jurassic park, and how satisfying the sounds from loading the shots into the SPAS-12, to unfurling the stock was? That scene sticks out to me from every movie i've ever watched when it comes to satisfying and well thought out sound design. And kudos to you for refreshing that scene in my head.

Everytime Mike asks Micha to describe an item and Micah just says what he thinks about it. You can see Mike die a little everytime.
-
I would listen to you talk about (in anger) for 5 hours about the VA. Please hold them accountable, you have the platform

I'm rooting so hard for 8.6 blackout. We need this cartridge, but I don't want to invest in a rifle until it's SAAMI spec'd and I know it'll be around for a while.
-
Awesome introduction, as always! 😄 Not only is your content educational, but it is entertaining as well, keeping your audience engaged at all times. Keep up the great work guys!
-
The VA has screwed so many over. Thanks for shining more light on the situation.
-
That is ridiculous. I’ve never seen a round have this much penetrative power in ballistics gel . It cuts through like genuine butter. Amazing.
-
Big ups to Ree, doing the work that really matters. Not all heroes wear capes 🙌🙏🙌 Hooah Awesome video too
-
Wow! That is impressive. It will be interesting to see where this goes with more development! Thanks for the information about ReeMedical! I'll pass that along!
-
8.6 is an absolute unit, its so crazy.
-
I've never seen a round FLY through THREE ballistic gel blocks the way this did. That's beyond anything we see on a regular basis, and I can't wait to watch how popular this round becomes

I really want one of these! The 300 BKO had the same overpenetration issues when it came out, as most bullets are designed to penetrate and expand properly at fast supersonic velocities. A few years ago we were shooting 6.5 Creedmoor at muzzle velocities of around 3000 fps. At 100-200 yards they were penetrating and expanding to about 16-18 inches in ballistic gelatin. At 1000+ yards, they were not expanding and penetrating more than 36 inches. With the 300 BKO, it performed much better at closer ranges once bullets were developed that were designed to penetrate and expand at subsonic velocities. So this round will be better once those bullets become available to perform at subsonic.

Loving how the sound of the action, downrange, is almost as loud as the shot.
-
The sound from that suppressed 8.6 round actually sounds like the made up suppressed sound they use in movies and games. Just a POP... impressive.
-
I appreciate Micah's attempt at Charlie humor but no one can match his delivery 😂 Love it guys!
-
You made a good point, that high pierce would be interesting to test against lvl 3.

Next build for sure. Great video. Always entertaining and informative.
