Videos tagged with 12 gauge 00 buckshot

This video from Polenar Tactical demonstrates the impact resistance of a surplus ballistic vest, originally used by Swiss Police and Gendarmerie. Through live fire testing with various calibers including 9mm, .357, and 12 gauge 00 buckshot, the video visually assesses the vest's performance. The speaker, possessing high authority and expertise in tactical gear, highlights the product's availability and its expired ballistic protection status.

This video features an expert-level ballistics test conducted by Scott, a former law enforcement officer with extensive firearms knowledge. The experiment investigates whether body fat can stop bullets by firing various calibers into a ballistic dummy torso covered in approximately 100 pounds of beef fat. The results demonstrate that while smaller calibers are stopped, larger and more powerful rounds can penetrate the fat and the dummy, with extreme calibers like the .577 Tyrannosaur showing devastating effects.

This guide details the construction and testing of a DIY body armor plate, inspired by a $30 project. It covers material selection, safety precautions during construction with fiberglass and resin, and a comprehensive ballistic testing phase against various handgun calibers and shotgun rounds. The project demonstrates a cost-effective approach to creating rudimentary ballistic protection, with expert insights into its limitations, particularly against higher-powered rifle or magnum handgun rounds.

This video provides an expert-level demonstration of the BulletSafe VP3 Level 3A bulletproof vest's capabilities. The host, exhibiting high authority and expertise in ballistics and armor ratings, tests the vest against various calibers up to .44 Magnum and 12-gauge buckshot using a realistic ballistic dummy. The results highlight the vest's effectiveness in stopping rounds while also illustrating the potential for significant blunt force trauma and skeletal damage from high-energy impacts.

This guide details a ballistic testing methodology for evaluating home defense ammunition, conducted by a retired US Special Forces veteran. The test simulates real-world scenarios using ballistic gel and drywall to assess stopping power against over-penetration risks. Key findings highlight the superior performance of small-caliber rifle rounds for home defense due to their energy transfer and reduced collateral damage potential.

This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring subject matter expert Matt Carriker, tests the ballistic resistance of Kevlar-lined Humvee tires. The experiment demonstrates that while these tires are highly durable against common debris and smaller caliber rounds, they are ultimately penetrated by common defensive handgun calibers and rifle rounds, leading to rapid air loss. The testing provides practical insights into the limitations of such heavy-duty tires against direct ballistic threats.

This video provides a practical ballistics test evaluating how .22 LR, 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot, and 12 Gauge #4 Birdshot penetrate a standard residential front door. The host, demonstrating experienced firearm handling, shows that .22 LR and 00 Buckshot easily penetrate, offering little cover. In contrast, #4 Birdshot shows potential for home defense due to its limited penetration, primarily denting the rear of the door. The expert analysis highlights the critical differences in ammunition performance for defensive scenarios.
