Great content buddy loved it from day 1

He will never stop. In his ravenous hunger for recoil, he found no peace. Seeking atonement against the .50 cal that had wronged him, so even the 1 gauge shotgun with a pound lead slug did not satisfy him. And those that tasted the lead of his guns named him: Scott from Kentucky Ballistics.
As the BFG 10000 has the power of 10000 russian shotguns. The devs were kind of accurate.
Cue the theme from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Not because Scott is Bad or Ugly, but it just seems to FIT, don't you think?

@@user-ev3cl2ss8e Right... Then why did Mohammed say, "I have been made victorious through terror."?
@@supergeek1418 That's not true. He never said that
As soon as I saw this on Garand Thumb, I knew it was literally a matter of time until our favorite recoil junkie got his hands on one.
This was my thought also but I’m glad Scott did the video. I would also love to know how to get my hands on one..not to mention shells for it. Would be a hell of a duck gun but I think everything you can hunt in my state with a shottie is limited to 10 gauge 😕
@@abelwalker4396 I’m getting the feeling there is no ammo for it. Didn’t Garand Thumb also have to have someone hand-make shells for it? I guess that counts as finding ammo, sort of. Looks really fun… and terrible all rolled into one.
"Recoil junkie". The man is using the hunting shotgun/civilian market version. Garand Thumb was using the military/Law Enforcement version with a shitty folding stock and fired it with and without the stock.
@Travis C seeing as how the military one takes solid brass shells, and the civilian one probably will too. it wouldn't be too difficult to have a good machinist turn 30-50 shells and then you find the correct load data and hand load those solid brass shells. I own few old 12 gauge brass shells myself on my "ammo collection" shelf.
So much for original content
Доброго Дня 🤝, достаточно редкое у вас ружьё TOZ123 в 4м калибре. Выпускалось в 90 годах для силовых подразделений МВД и Сил Специального Назначения таких как ОМОН , СОБОР, АЛЬФА. Классно что вы нашли такое оружие и показали его!
У него в руках гражданская версия как и сказал Скотт)
@@user-cp7em2bt1q продавалось оно и на гражданском рынке в 90 как таже Рысь , но потом постепенно ушла с рынка из-за отсутствие спроса , но в любом случае изначально разработано оружие для силовиков
Версия для силовиков с коротким нарезным стволом(КС-23, КС-23М), а ТОЗ-123, Селезень-4 Селезень-1 это гражданские исполнения
@@user-vx5ms2yf3h модификаций вариантов было много в 90 годы , попадается настоящая экзотика , интересная и по калибрам и по конструкторским решениям

Scott never fails to crack me up with his goofy antics and constant desire to destroy basically everything. cant get enough
The KS-23 was designed in the 1970s for suppressing prison riots. It was created by TsNIITochMash, a key Soviet weapons developer, for the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD). The barrel for the KS-23 were made from 23 mm aircraft gun barrels that were rejected due to manufacturing flaws. These rejected barrels were deemed to be acceptable for the lower stress of firing slugs and less-lethal rounds, and thus were cut down in length for use as shotgun barrels. The KS-23 began to see use during the mid-1980s by several MVD forces. During the 1990s, research was made into improving the original design to make it usable in confined indoor areas. Two prototypes were proposed, the KS-23M and KS-23K,
Perfect for an open southern border.

"That's Nacho business" Probably one of the best dad jokes I've heard That 4 gauge has such a kick
In the first shot, in the first recoil, when the fridays first full autoed, one stood. He chose the path of perpetual soreness. In his ravenous recoil his serbu exploded. And with no blood he scoured the umbral plains seeking vengeance against all stronger than 50 BMG slap that had wronged him. And those whose recoil was controlled by him named him THE SERBU SLAYER
Missed opportunity. Should've said "the BOOM Slayer"
I had no idea a 4 gauge shotgun even existed. Not really surprised the Russians developed it. Those shells are absolutely massive
They even make 4 guage flashbang rounds called the Zvesda
@@jacoba7915 zvezda* it means star in english
@@user-mn2cu7yy7q I know, its just the name for the 4 guage shells that function like a flashbang. like the volna is the nickname for the less than lethal 4 guage shotgun shell that the ks23 uses
There are also 3, 2, 1, 0, 00 & 000 gauge shotguns as well. The Russians did not invent the 4 gauge shotgun but was invented in England.
this is the only channel that can hold my attention for every second of the video without skipping around. scotts such a natural entertainer
You might have attention span problems
@Ruzzky_Bly4t might have, no no he definitely has
@@Ruzzky_Bly4t either that or he just Values his time
Bro get off the internet. Your brain is fried
@Smoked beef and cheese Someohow I doubt that it's the seconds option. Being easily distracted ≠ valuing your time. Although maybe he is just above us and finds KZhead to be solely low quality entertainment.
That last 1000 grain slug is like the words of my history teacher way back. In the one ear and out the other. Great video.😂👍
I love how Scott's comedy is getting better and better with every episode :D
Thank you Scott! Absolutely the most interesting, entertaining and funny content I have ever seen on the internet! Please give me more to binge watch 🤯💪👊
The slugs have so much energy they barely transferred any of it to the head target. That's terrifying.
Actually, Garand Thumb tested this shotgun and gave the velocity numbers. Turns out this 4 guage had LESS energy than a 12 guage. That's why Scott said the recoil was underwhelming.
@@454Casul It may have a lot to do with the loads they're using. GT in particular had something wonky as I reckon
@@meltdown4126 the guy's gun that Garand was using makes the shells himself
I think he's had more impressive results hitting the exact same targets with a standard 1oz 12 gauge foster slug.
In the slug's defense, he did hollow out the noggin with buckshot first.
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "in one ear and out the other" lol that slow motion birdshot was awesome!
That cake reminded me of... "CORDELIA!!.....you BISH!! ......WHERRRRRRRE'S MYYYY CAKE??!!" - "Creepshow" (1982) 😳😄
A swarm of bees
Between it starting with a Russian saying "hold your horses" and it ending with a plastic table destroying trees, I can say I've never quite seen a channel like this one. AND I LOVE IT!!!!!
im russian btw
broooo look at ur shoooes dont u just wanna ONE TWO, PAW IN SHOE😍😍
How have I not seen this channel before? Living in Australia where our stupid government banned us from owning guns without having to jump through a thousand hoops, it’s great to see Scott having so much fun and remind me what I’m missing out on!
The detail and jokes he puts in these videos make it entertaining all the way through
That's the way Scott always gets it done.
So you really find this meathead to be entertaining huh?, I'll bet you also watch professional-wrestling.🤭
The Elmer's Glue shot is quite possibly the most beautiful slow-motion thing you've ever posted, Scott!
I don't know, The cake was pretty sweet 🤓
Some kind of lightweight, large bore, giant hollowpointed bullet doing stupid speed would really sent it to the moon.
Absolutely love watching your videos Scott. Thank you
Would you say it was the money shot?
@@gregkrueger331 Money-depleting shot. Haha
Best 14 min and 16 seconds I've spent for a long time .Thanks bro.
Sweet, always wanted to see one. Didn't know so many videos were made on it recently.
Just the sheer VOLUME of lead being shot from that is impressive.
Shhhh! Don't tell the EPA!
Yeah its just a fucking cloud of metal balls.
yeah imagine that going through someones chest
@@dustydoritoairsoft7707Even if you miss the target, which is a big IF, the cloud of lead dust from the impact will give him lung cancer next week.

@@JeanLucCaptain fun fact the original ks 23 shotgun was made when the soviets saw an anti air gun and decided it should be shoulder fired
I can’t imagine any small game, waterfowl, or turkeys, taken with that birdshot load would be edible! Or eligible for taxidermy.
Great.... Something else to ad to the 'MUST HAVE' list.
The slow-mo “Achooo” as the Furby was obliterated was amazing! 😆😅
8:39 I love how furbys just sitting back there sneezing
You know you’re going to have a good time when Scott starts talking about shotguns
The sound it makes when you slide it back to eject the shell sounds really good.
Educational and fun . Cheers 🏴
8:54 Achoo 😂
I love this 4ga. shotgun!, the accuracy and tight pattern with the birdshot was very impressive and even more so with the lack of recoil. Thank you Scott for sharing this with us and I hope/pray that all is well with you and the entire Kentucky Ballistics family. 🙏🙏
"funny story Ivan. One day a trio tried to rob my house. So i grabbed my shotgun and gave them a good pump welcome. The first bastard ran as soon as he heard the pump. The second thought he'll be brave and take on 12 gauge buck. Unfortunately for him, i don't have 12 gauge shotguns, I only have 4 gauge at home." "What happened to the third one?" "I had him clean up the second off my pristine floorboards and paid him with birdshot for his troubles"
The table was a nice touch.loved it
Just one of the most entertaining gun channels on the KZheads! The slo-mo shots are worth the price of admission!
The price of admission was accidentally finding the video
the best !
@@Anomaly.Filmworks wait so that guy out front selling tickets was a smam???😭😭😭
where do u find these guns
I love it how Scott is finding new and unique ways to destroy his shoulder
His shoulder is as tough as his neck, He should be OK 😁( remember the .50 BMG)
With how much crap you shoot. I wanna see game trail photos of the fat lil critters that inhabit your range 😊
And tables
The random table throw had me rolling. Always a blast Kentucky!
you remind me so much of the sports guy from Anchorman and its just so much fun to watch you dude, thanks for the awesome content and greetings from the nearly gunless :( New Zealand
It would be interesting to see a comparative speed test on slugs between the 10, 12 and 4 gauge.
It looks like 4 gauge is quite slow
@@jimmyjohansson202 But *very* heavy
It’s more of a weight thing.
Indeed, I was expecting a much more explosive effect when shooting the ballistic bust.
Don’t forget 8 gauge!
Is nobody going to talk about how Garand Thumb's cutout came to life at 4:54??
Me at my 4th birthday suddenly gaining self-awarness:
Thanks Scott! That was very entertaining and hilarious!
The Furby's exploding face should have been the screenshot for this video. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I paused it just right at 8:54 and its hilarious.
In this episode, Scott plays with a modern punt gun, makes a giant gummi bear do a backflip, and turns a Furby into individual molecules.
That's a FOOK-ton of birdshot! For water sluicing a whole flock of geese on a pond at one time, it'd be pretty impressive! You are a madman, Scott!
'What birds are you hunting with that?' 'all of them!'
Some time check out “punt guns”, they’re closer to a 1 or 2 gauge and were literally used for this sort of mass waterfowl elimination.
@@diamondflaw yeah, some of those were ridiculous. Shove the little boat they are on halfway across the little lake with each shot.....
Great show thanks 👍
7:53 seems that can got a little excited
💀💀💀
Didn't expect such an overwhelmingly awesome show. First time seeing this guy. Legend.
You need to check out his history. He is a legend for sure. Check out the .50 cal exploding in his face to see what the whole, "just put a thumb in it" means. This dude is superhuman.
What @@Bushlore1 said. Go watch it.
Shot himself in the face
It just popped up randomly on the home page on my iPhone today.
I second what Chris beat me to. Check out "exploding 50 cal"
Great landscaping ideas!
Great show, fun to watch and I want a 4 gauge now.
Scott truly is the most innovative in what he does. Every week finding new ways too impress the viewers but most of all finding new ways to explain to the physicians why he needs a new shoulder For real though Scott don’t stop your the best man💪
And finding new ways to break those tables
Actually... I'm much more wondering how the hell he cleans up that yard after all those messes. lol
@arnox4554 most of the mess is from some kind of sauce, like that gallon of mustard. Nature'll take care of that. All he really needs to do is police the brass and plastic from the jugs. And kets nit forget the battered carcas of what was once a folding table. 😄
@@daleford8621 I imagine Scott would be cleaning the range weekly to avoid any issue and out of his pure Scottness
@@casiogodtier4489 yeah, it looks like they take pretty good care of it
I love watching Scott do exotic weapons, they’re so rewatchable and entertaining
I enjoy the hell out of your channel! Thanx!
WOW! Entertaining as hell also he cracks me up.
I don’t know if it’s more disturbing to see the head completely explode, or see the pellets go through, stretch the gel, destroying the skull, and it closing back up on itself… crazy.
I thought Scott got his hands on... another BFG. **Looks over shoulder for a Cyberdemon**
This gun looks fitting for our dear čuvak iz Duma to fight Kibêrdêmon
Finally watched one of your videos and i enjoyed it
Awesome thanks Scott
How has nobody talked about that outro. That table through the trees was epic. Obviously the rest of the video was amazing too, but the casual rope tie leading up to it was awesome
Impressive how well the table stayed generally intact.
It’s cuz nobody stays till the end of the video anymore.
I thought, 'Wait, where'd the rope come from?' just before remembering his signature ending skit. Even among the table pulls, this one was extra-hilarious in how the table broke apart, and was yanked through that tree. 😆
Those so-called four gauge shotguns that Russian Jews are all cap just like everything Russians say about all their weapons it’s all Russian propaganda and over exaggeration and lies just like they claim their missiles that are from the 1970s that go mark five or hypersonic missiles sure technically anything that goes over mark five is hyper sonic but it’s not a hypersonic missile it’s not a scramjet compare an American four bore caliber round against a 4 gauge shotgun
Indeed it was epic, the can crunch, love this dude.
I enjoy this channel because he doesn't take himself too seriously. In the gun community too many people always seem on edge and that's alienates new people.
I'm not convinced this approach wouldn't alienate new people.
Paul Harrell is great too.
dude's an absolute unit too so it kinda makes some of the other guys look sillier by comparison.
Ain't that the truth
It alienates life long gun people as well. I absolutely love that he just enjoys himself. Makes it fun to watch.
This video was so chaotic and I loved every second of it.
This dude is by far the funniest of all the pew tubers. People don't realize how hard it is to entertain on your own without a 2nd or 3rd person. He always has to be on his a Game . With this being said he's actually funnier then the rest . I do like Edwin also but this guy kills me w his videos and personality. Him running off in the distance like a meathead had me dying
Glad you're here man and obviously your eyesight is just fine ! Luv your show ! Cracks me up ! I'm addicted !!😊😊
Scott has provided us with data on some of the most powerful cartridges ever made. This is awesome! Thank you Scott
The energy transfer on the birdshot was insane. I think it would liquify any bird you were hunting with ith though.
My favorite parts of your videos is how you laugh all the time and your hilarious reactions when you blow stuff too. Keep doing your thing brother and we will keep watching you.
The best thing in this beast is that Barrikada 23mm shell according to soviet data, can pierce through engine block from 100 meters.
The cardboard cutout of our favorite boy scout caught my off guard and gave me a solid chuckle, love it Scott.
9:30 Me on December 1st.
Could have expected THAT one!
those barrels are from surplus ZU-23 self loading cannons :) there you have it :) but what they did was cut them in half, turn them on lathe and then weld shotgun chambers on them :)
Liked the nod to Garand Thumb in the Boy Scout uniform. "I got poup-on Thumb", LOL
Little side note: The barrels for the TOZ-123 (The original name of the BFG-1) were not made from AA gun barrels, because are rifled. The KS-23 actually is classified as a carbine (the K stands for Karabin) and is restricted to military use only. the TOZ-123 is a normal smoothbore shotgun (as far as 4 gauge is ''normal'' for a shotgun tho).
Bad thing, no one will notice this important notice.
True it’s not normal, but it makes such a satisfying splat😊
@@M65V19*Ahem* I literally looked for the comment 🤣 But you right. Only us weirdos will ever know.
I also believe that it’s also only 4 gauge in European measurements and around 6-ish by US standards
Little side note²: BFG-1 was an early prototype of a later final one - The BFG-9000 😎
Scott is the best. Table through the trees cracks me up. Glad to see he made a full recovery 🙏
Great video. Loved "WATERMELON TIME" and "you got jammed!". And of course the shooting. I subscribed because I realize how much I love comedy with my ballistics videos.
Awesome content as always
I love how the furby sneezed right as the buckshot was tearing him apart (8:53)
KABLOOEY!
@@literal_f22 KA-BOOOOOMMMM!!!!!
Either Scott is handling recoil exceptionally well or that thing doesn't really kick
Scott may looks crazy from time to time😂, but he is a very experienced and skillful shooter, that 23mm rifling barrel shotgun is not soft when it comes to recoil. 🤣
@@edenyan7237 Actually, he's a certified lunatic. And because of that I've been his subscriber for like 4-5 years. ^__^
@@theskarletpinkernel5745 couldn't said it better myself 🤣
Long barrels help a lot with recoil.
@@edenyan7237 26mm) It is selezen-4 (drake-4), not ks-23
I always enjoy your videos. Keep em coming!
Scott, I am actually very curious as to the muzzle velocity of these "4-gauge" (really 6.27-gauge in our measurement standard) buck and slug loads, especially compared to a typical 12-gauge or your undeniably-spicy 10-gauge. I wonder if you'd consider putting something like that on your to-do list. : )
I have one, but I'm too sceered to shoot it. Hasn't been fired in about 150 years. 😬😬😬 plus, I only have one shell. 🤦🏼♂️
I was just about to mention that. Kind of odd that 4 gauge/6 gauge work like that but apparently 12 gauge is still 12 gauge...
3.5 inch 12 gauge Lichtfield sabot slug was more powerful then any KS-23 or BFG-1 or 10 gauge round. It was doing 4759 ft/lb. BFG-1 rounds are not loaded that hot.
I didn’t even know that they made a 4 gage shotgun, it is unbelievable! Wow, I always learn something new all the time on here!
i want to know how bad the recoil really is or isn't
In US measurements, it's like 6.75 gauge or something. Only in European measurements (I presume metric based) is it a 4 gauge.
I have seen a 2 bore. But it was a muzzleloader.
First of all, note that it is Russian made. In the states anything larger than 10 guage is illegal for any kind of hunting. That's why most have never heard of it. They still make 8 guage ammo, but not the guns. That's because the ammo is used to "shock clean" things like kilns and boilers. From a logical standpoint, it was quite logical for the Russians to come up with a 4 guage shotgun because of all the 4 guage elephant guns that were made. No problem coming up with the needed engineering data because it had already been done. All that was needed was to bring everything forward into our current Era. Regardless, I'm impressed anyway.
Forgotten Weapons did a piece on the 2 bore if you're interested.
“I got poupon my thumb!” Made me laugh so hard lol
Totally awesome!! You rock!
14 minutes fun and 40 for cleanup... gorgeous 😂
That thing could use buckshot as a birdshot load 😆 I first saw the KS-23 in a mod for STALKER Anomaly, I figured it was just some prototype gun that the mod author had heard about and thought was cool, I never expected to see one actually fired. That's super neat! I wonder if the age of the rounds didn't gentle them somewhat. It seems like they were all a bit lackluster for being so hilariously oversized. Obviously Scott is a big dude, but I would have expected him to have a bit more of a reaction when firing this thing, I feel like the 10 gauge was more potent at least in the recoil department.
KS-23 itself actually served for a long while as a weapon for SWAT teams and prison guards. It didn't really have straight up buckshot, but accepted several types of rubber slugs, a flashbang slug and several tear gas shells. It's only "lethal" round was a steel slug, but that one was meant fir taking out car engines instead of people. The thing used in the video is "Selezen-4", a civilian version of the KS-23 with a proper stock and elongated barrel
Very underwhelming from what it was supposed to be capable. Age of the shells was the first thought, would definitely be interesting to see some new shells for it. Could also be a low powder load compared to the amount of lead its sending down range. It takes a lot to move 3oz of lead and it might not have enough to really send it.
What faction are you, stalker?
Get out of here, stalker
@@thesolersystemofgames841 Privet Stalker! I usually wear Loner colors, but my most recent venture into the Zone found me making making my bed with the Freedom faction, and it was a nice change of pace.

Seems to me like these would be about perfect for hunting drones. A weapon truly ahead of its time.

The average 50 bmg round is 660 grains so that gives you some perspective of how massive the slug is.
