World’s DEADLIEST Potato Gun? (TEST)

Published on December 6, 2024
Duration: 2:27

This video tests the 'deadliness' of a custom 12-gauge shotgun shell loaded with a potato core. Tests included accuracy, energy transfer into a water jug, and lethality against a simulated vest. The potato projectile fragmented like buckshot, demonstrated high energy transfer, and penetrated a layered vest, creating a 6-inch hole.

Quick Summary

This video tests a custom 12-gauge shotgun shell loaded with a potato core. The projectile fragmented like buckshot, showed high energy transfer by destroying a water jug, and proved lethal by creating a 6-inch hole in a simulated vest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this potato gun potentially deadly?

This isn't a traditional toy potato gun. It utilizes custom-loaded 12-gauge shotgun shells with potato cores, fired from a 12-gauge shotgun, demonstrating significant projectile energy and penetration capabilities.

How accurate is the potato projectile?

During accuracy testing against a paper target, the potato core fragmented upon exiting the barrel, creating a spread pattern similar to buckshot rather than a single precise point.

What was the energy transfer like?

The potato projectile demonstrated high energy transfer when fired into a water jug, causing significant expansion and destruction of the jug, indicating substantial impact force.

Did the potato projectile prove lethal?

Yes, in a lethality test using a simulated shrapnel vest made of duct tape layers, the potato projectile created a large 6-inch hole, confirming its destructive potential.
