Videos tagged with Ballistic Gelatin

This video demonstrates an experimental test of replacing lead shot in a 12-gauge shotgun shell with approximately 100 hairpins. The test involves three parts: a water test to show immediate energy, a cardboard test for pattern analysis, and a ballistic gelatin test to assess penetration and projectile behavior. The results indicate significant projectile deformation and penetration, suggesting a potentially lethal outcome.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the ballistic performance of a unique shotgun shell loaded with bouncy balls. The instructor, demonstrating experienced authority, conducts tests on water jugs, paper targets, and ballistic gelatin to assess penetration, spread, and energy transfer. The findings suggest this ammunition is capable of causing significant damage, with a warning issued against being hit by it.

This video explores three items presented as legal self-defense options in the US: a flare gun, a Pulsefire flamethrower, and a Phillips screwdriver. The presenter highlights that the flare gun and flamethrower can be acquired without background checks, licenses, or age restrictions, and demonstrates their potential use. The screwdriver is shown penetrating ballistic gelatin, suggesting its utility.

This video highlights the significant differences between flare guns and shotguns, emphasizing the inherent inaccuracy of flare guns due to their design. The speaker demonstrates this by attempting to hit a ballistic gelatin head, noting the lack of sights and the compact, solid nature of the flare cartridges which limits accuracy. The high cost per shot is also a key takeaway.

This video discusses the volatile nature of Hickory Flatbards Havoc Halo blue tip ammunition. It highlights the need for careful handling during transport to avoid dropping, and notes the ammunition's high reactivity, capable of functioning effectively even on soft targets. The demonstration shows significant cratering and smoke on soft ground and a destructive effect on ballistic gelatin, indicating extreme energy transfer. The instructor also warns about the potential for serious sparks when this ammunition impacts hard surfaces like metal or steel.

This video showcases the performance of the GunNuts 12G Full Metal Kraken projectile. The projectile demonstrated significant expansion, creating an 8-pointed star resembling kraken tentacles, and effectively cut through ballistic gelatin. The video also promotes tactical deals from Armory Deals.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the impact of a 12-inch soda can launcher, using a Mountain Dew can and ballistic gelatin, to simulate effects on human tissue. The launcher demonstrates significant energy, recoiling harder than a 12-gauge shotgun. While blanks lack pressure for cycling, the projectile's impact is substantial, sending a ballistic dummy head flying and causing a tear in the eye socket.

This video from Civilian Tactical provides a detailed look at the terminal ballistics of the 7N6 5.45x39mm round, often nicknamed the 'poison bullet'. Through controlled testing with ballistic gelatin, the host demonstrates how the unique design of the 7N6 round causes it to tumble rapidly upon impact, leading to a significant energy dump and a much larger wound cavity compared to standard 5.45x39mm ammunition. The expert-level demonstration highlights the effectiveness of this military surplus round.

This video from Alyssa Seymour provides a technical comparison between a standard lead bullet and the Symex bullet from Sim-X Ammunition. It highlights significant differences in velocity, impact pressure, and the resulting pressure wave, visualized through ballistic gelatin tests and wound cavity models. The expert analysis focuses on the empirical data to demonstrate the performance characteristics of the Symex ammunition.

This video demonstrates the destructive potential of Hory Flatbs' 12 Gauge Gold Havoc BB ammunition. Through tests involving a water jug, car door, and ballistic gelatin, the ammunition's effectiveness in maximizing damage and minimizing wasted space between projectiles is showcased. The tests highlight significant penetration and fragmentation, indicating a high level of terminal performance.

This video tests an unknown shotgun ammunition nicknamed 'Botfly,' focusing on its large hollow-point expansion. Tests include a water jug for hydrostatic shock, a paper target for accuracy, and ballistic gelatin to observe expansion. The Botfly ammunition demonstrated significant trauma and cavity formation in ballistic gelatin, even penetrating the medium entirely.

This video demonstrates the lethality and accuracy of a 13mm socket fired from a shotgun. The projectile, when shot into ballistic gelatin, created a significant wound channel, indicating high energy transfer. Testing on paper confirmed the projectile flew straight without significant rotation, suggesting precision.
