I have to admit I was shocked to see how well Stretch Armstrong toys stop bullets. Just one toy stopped a 44 magnum from point blank range. Pretty cool stuff. Makes me want to relive my youth and buy one just to shoot ![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")

Yep. Corn syrup and latex. Sounds like a kinky weekend at the inMA household. Sans Stretch Armstrong, of course. ROFL!!

I took the cheap route and went wit the $15 toy lol.In one of Scott's (kentuckyballastics) other videos, I think he said the 700 nitro costs him $100 per round. Insane
Edit: found it, 3:00 mark
Should have looked it up. Had no idea it was just corn syrup and latext.

immediately after saying it I ran a search...Kevin (backyard scientist) did a video with Mark Rober on it, too.
Okay I want a refund! I tested some new Federal 270 gr 44 mag Hammerdown ammo out of my Henry rifle today. At 25 yards, complete pass through!! WtfOkay I hate to admit I just bought one stretch armstrong toy on Amazon for $15 just so I could test some bullets
Actually I think I bought the mini version. Looks like Scott used the larger stretch armstrong. Doh. $32 for the full size version. F that

NES Skinflinting Kills Son of Stretch Armstrong

Sabatti has some starting around €3K.
Pedersoli sells the Kodiak double 45/70 for around $5K.
Besides those, I believe every other company is $7K+.
I found an African hunting forum, they have a ton of info on double rifles.

Gunbroker has a Baikal 30-06 and a Stoeger 30-30 starting at $1,200 - no reserve. Nice price, but seems odd to me in those calibers.
