This video demonstrates several versions of SlapShot ammunition in a Genesis semi automatic AR12 platform. SlapShot USA has developed ammunition designed to be used in the Genesis platform.





 

Precision Home Defense 250 Ammunition

The PHD250 Series

At over 3000 FPS the flat nosed slug used in the PHD-250-72 ammunition provides excellent stability in flight and superior terminal ballistics for breaching and home defense. The 72 and 78 grain slugs have been added to the PHD250 series. The primary difference between the PHD and the LA slugs is the LA slug has a threaded hollow point and the PHD does not. The threading enables the LA72 to be changed to a Saber.

Picture 1 and picture 2 show the PHD250- 72 impacting a water jug. The high speed video captured the flash of light caused by atomic excitation. Our physicist tells us that it requires substantial energy and a lot of electrons emitting photons to produce visible light as seen in the still frames from high speed video.

Atomic Excitation Produces Light

PHD 250 slug is the original ground breaking ammunition.


Liver Test: Energy Propagation and Breaching Mediums

This is a fresh cow liver we shot with our PHD250-72 slug. The PHD-250-72’s massive energy pulse turns an experimental breaching medium into what looks like an explosive charge. Good for breaching, energized circuit, and IED disruption. Also, well suited for defensive purposes.


Residential Wall Test: Covering Fire and Home Defense

Covering Fire and Assaults: Sequential Slides Showing PHD250 On Residential Wall

Slide 1: Blast of pulverized building materials impacts the front side of the box.

Slide 2: The energy of the pulverized materials blows a 4 to 5 inch hole through the front panel of the box.

Slide 3: The interior of the box simulates the interior of a room demonstrating how covering fire could blast a cloud of pulverized building materials into a room.

slide 4: The slug did not penetrate through the rear panel of the box. The rear of the box was approximately 2 feet from the interior of the wall.

slides 5 and 6: show how the impact of the slug causes a blast zone that increases in diameter as it moves through the wall. This is simlar to an explosive blast, but it is infact the unique characteristics of the slapshot concept that causes this explosive action.

Slide 7: From this vantage point looking back along the path of the projectile. it can be seen that the diameter of the blast begins increasing in diameter, similar to a cone. A 3/4 inch hole on first impact of the wood panel. As the energy from the slug moved through the wall it caused a cone shaped blast of pulverized debris to enter the room (simulated by box).

LA72 Live Adaptable Ammunition

LA72

Carry one round that provides the hard hit of the PHD250-72 with the controlled penetration seen above and with a twist a .25 caliber 36 grain insert can be added for the extraordinary penetration seen in the controlled penetration video and TWO Stage Projectile tests.

  1. Removing the Interchangeable Component (IC) makes the LA72 perform like the PHD-250.

  2. Leaving the IC in will increase the projectile’s overall penetration.

  3. Ammunition can be adapted after it has been deployed or during mission preparation.

  4. In still frame #5 The insert can be seen exiting the gel and passing through the back stop.

  5. Red circle in still frame #9 marks where the secondary projectile exited the gel block.

  6. Also seen in still frame #9 is The secondary wound channel created by the second stage projectile.

Law Enforcement and Military 230 Grain Slug

LEM230 Test

We created a slug round for Genesis Arms12 gauge platform. As part of a bid with a foreign law enforcement agency. The potential customer asked if the round would penetrate an engine block. They asked if we had ever tried shooting an engine. We hadn’t but with help from friends we rounded up a cast iron block and BMW engine to shoot. Limitations of this test are obvious since the photos and video are not inside the assembled engine compartment.

The shots were fired from 10 to 20 yards and at different angles just to get an idea what kind of damage the slug would cause. We also fired our large game slug to see what would happen and it also penetrated the engine.

Engine Block Test

Two shots into the front of the BMW engine. One penetrated through accessories on the front of the engine and the head. the other impacted the timing chain cover penetrating the crank case.

Two shots into the side of the engine. One shot impacted the case passing through and crushing the piston. The other shot penetrated the crank case impacting the crank shaft.

Law Enforcement Test Requirements of our LE230 12 gauge lead free slug (AKA Genesis Round).

The test required the ammunition to be able to maintain a sub 3” 8 round group at 20 Meters from the Genesis 10 Inch 12 gauge platform. Also it needs to be able to bust an engine. Using the Genesis AR12 10 inch smooth bore shotgun our shooter fired a 2.5” group and the slugs were 73 caliber SlapShot slug and load configuration . This test is the first time the shooter has used this configuration in the test gun. A different shooter fired a control group of 5 rounds from a Savage 212 Bolt gun with fully rifled slug barrel. The control group was 1.77 inches and is intended to demonstrate the consistency of the ammunition in different platforms. SlapShot USA is developing a hunting version of this ammunition.

Power Test

The final test we were asked to complete with our LEM230 was penetrating through a steel plate. The test specified a 6mm plate but we were only able to get a 1/4 inch plate of the correct material. Shooting from 20 meters we needed to penetrate the plate in three shots or less. The first attempt shredded the wood brace so we ended up placing an engine block behind the plate. Each shot would send the engine block rolling. As can be seen the ammunition penetrated the plate as specified. In the end the real challenge was holding the plate firm enough to get a clean test.

Comparing Lead Slug to The SlapShot Slug

We fired a lead rifled slug manufactured by a popular ammunition brand and a SlapShot slug at a BMW engine. The shots were taken at 20 Meters (22 yards).

The picture to the left is the lead rifled slug’s impact on the cylinder wall of the engine. The slug bounced off after damaging the case. It also appears the slug is not stable, striking the engine sideways instead of nose first. The lead slug was 1 oz, 1600 FPS factory tested by the manufacturer out of a 30” barrel.

Below is the SlapShot slug impact. The slug clearly penetrated the engine into the crank case. The SlapShot slug appears stable impacting nose first with no sign of wobble. The SlapShot round is 230 grains (1/2 oz) 2300 FPS factory tested out of a 22” fully rifled barrel.

above: the lem230 punched a hole through the cast iron. the cast iron is approximately 3/4 inch at this location.

Below: the lem230 punched a clean hole through the cylinder wall.

Test group shot to shot consistency. This is a 2 inch group measured center to center of the .73 caliber holes.

9 rounds sub 3” group (2.84) at 20 meters out of a Genesis Arms AR12 with a 10 Inch smooth bore barrel.
