A long time ago samurai lost their lord and went on a path of vengeance.
Fact that these men went through such Great lengths to avenge their lord and reclaim their honor ended up gaining them a place in history as the entire world remembers the 47 Ronin. The masterless samurai that ended up giving everything that they were. Such a powerful statement as well as incredible consequences that would reverberate throughout history.
That and I also watched the 2013 movie with some amazing Japanese Stars that ended up being a catastrophic flop. Personally I thought it was an excellent movie. As well as having some exceptional sword fighting. So today has been an excellent bit of meditation on honor integrity loyalty and commitment.
450 Bushmaster.
Straight wall, Big bore, light 4570 type of round.
So there's definitely some interesting upgrades when you're going to start tracking really large pieces of lead from an AR platform. Oh yeah. Everything is bigger!
Well. I lucked myself into a trade for a 450 Bushmaster upper receiver.
So the AR pattern upper receiver has to have an enlarged ejection Port as well as a specialized bolt carrier group. Ironically the same exact bolt carrier group that I have for my other big bore AR-15 platform upper receiver will work for it. Yep that's right we're seeing cross compatibility between carrier groups for both the 458 socom and the 450 Bushmaster. Ironically it seems like that I can use the same magazines for the 458 and the 450. Which is pretty funny considering the fact that the 458 magazines are actually standard AR-15 magazines. Although I do want to get a very specialized hunting mag that is custom setup for these big bore rounds.
So I'm super excited. I'm not allowed to go blow any money however lucking out with this trade I get another present. I mean I already just did score the motorcycle!
So I'm definitely excited and definitely this will make my christmas. Getting more toys is always really fun and this is quite the serious toy.
I mean seriously this round causes a secondary detonation inside of its Target.
The share kinetic energy that is unleashed is absolutely incredible. I mean it actually picks up the entire ballistic gelatin block easily. Massive amount of kinetic energy that is unleashed from this round is absolutely incredible. And just to think that mere mortals can possess the ability to throw a flying ashtray at 1600 ft per second. Of course the secondary explosion is going to cauterize the wound inside the body....
And this absolutely still has energy to keep going right on into another block. They actually use a catching block. Which means that they are going to make a more resistant ballistics gel to catch the over penetration.
These guys got some cool ammo!
Big board ballistics gel shootout. 4570. 450 Bushmaster and 458 socom.
And it really seems like 45-70 is the more mild of the three so I'm going to be really excited to own not only the 458 but also the new to me 450. Of course throwing such massive amounts of copper and lead downrange that it'd be able to slap around not only one but two ballistics gel blocks? Woah! Wow.
More incredibly is the fact that the 450 Bushmaster dumped all of its ammunition energy within 20 in of the surface. Which we're watching 36 in plus penetration by the 458. Which is absolutely going to be some information I think I'm going to keep my ear to the ground for!
And here's another video testing the 450 and 458 against each other.
Basically I really want to know that I'm going to be able to punch really huge holes in things and bring home tasty delicious animals. And just in case I decided to go too Alaska and go gold mining. I'm going to need protection for my super amazing German Shepherd goofball aka the giant shit head.
Really super excited again too luck into an additional Christmas present. It absolutely is going to fit right in with my cultural traditions and practices especially when I get my enrollment with my native American tribe. At that point I'm absolutely going to be really stocked.
Next up I'm going to have to score some ammunition as well as Big bore magazines!
I'm going to have to look into getting the reloading equipment going.
Well 556 NATO -223 Remington is for small game.
300 blackout and of course 7.62 Soviet is for medium game. Deer especially.
The bigbore rounds are for bear elk buffalo elk and anything else that needs to be dropped.
Add to that? These rounds are contained within a box magazine. Basically that means that I can just slap another magazine and when I run dry and keep hosing! Which just a single one of these rounds sounds like a very scary situation. Adding on to it with additional rounds seems like Overkill. However when you need it Overkill it is also and extremely handy thing to have the American firepower invention upon your side.
On top of it...
A while back, I was doing that repossession of vehicles for that one guy who ended up screwing me and my dog over. Well out of the minimum amount of stuff we did make off with.. I ended up trading the modular vacuum system for a mini Red Dot and a laser. Lol well now I'm trading that set for this upper!
What a good time for me to trade things that I don't use for things that I really can.
Well on top of it we absolutely are going to have an excellent investment as I've turned something that I don't use and really don't value very highly into something that can provide and put food on the table.
