This video tests the performance of various airgun ammunition types, including standard and exploding pellets and slugs, using a Barra 250Z air rifle. Accuracy was tested at 50 yards, and terminal effects were observed on cat food can targets. The Edgun West exploding pellets demonstrated the most significant impact on the targets.

This review focuses on the performance of the Epic Air Guns air rifle with various H&N slugs. The reviewer found that heavier slugs, specifically 38 and 40 grain options, yielded the most impressive accuracy, with tight groups achievable at 100 yards. The airgun demonstrated significant power and accuracy capabilities, prompting plans for further testing at extended ranges.

This video details an experimental attempt to create functional ammunition by combining .22 caliber blanks with .22 airgun slugs. The experiment, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, resulted in a catastrophic firearm malfunction due to excessive back pressure from the blank's crimp. The host concludes this improvised ammunition is not viable, as it damaged the rifle's extractor and yielded poor ballistic performance compared to standard .22 LR rounds.

This review evaluates the effectiveness of slugs versus pellets in a budget airgun, the Umarex Gauntlet 2, at 50 yards. Testing included accuracy and ballistics gel analysis. The results indicate that while slugs deformed well and created a larger temporary wound cavity, the H&N Baracuda Hunter pellet offered superior penetration and accuracy in this specific setup. The speaker, an experienced airgun reviewer, concludes that slugs can be a viable hunting option at 50 yards or less, potentially offering better energy transfer than pellets.

This video demonstrates the extreme expansion capabilities of .72 caliber airgun slugs, specifically from Lucky Seven Ammo, when fired into a water-filled bag. The test showcases the devastating effect of a segmented hollow point slug, which completely fragments and expands upon impact, highlighting its potential for hunting or pest control applications.
