This video explores the performance of .30-06 ammunition, specifically focusing on the .30-06 Accelerator sabot round and comparing it to standard Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Hornady CX hunting rounds. The presenter conducts ballistics gel tests to demonstrate penetration differences, aiming to explain discrepancies in the Charlie Kirk case. The .30-06 Accelerator shows significantly less penetration, consistent with its design as a small .22 caliber bullet fired at high velocity, often resulting in fragmentation and no exit wound. Standard FMJ rounds exhibit much deeper penetration, while the expanding Hornady CX offers a balance.

This video compares 12, 20, and 410 gauge shotguns for turkey hunting, focusing on patterning, penetration in gel blocks, recoil, and cost per round using Federal TSS ammunition. The tests reveal that while all gauges can be effective at close range, the 12 gauge offers the most energy and penetration, the 20 gauge provides a balance of performance and reduced recoil, and the 410 offers a challenging, intimate hunting experience with sufficient pattern density for closer shots.

This video provides an expert look at several unique and 'crazy' 9mm ammunition types, including Dragon's Breath, Tracer, Exploding Rounds, and Birdshot. The demonstration, conducted by an experienced individual on an outdoor range, utilizes ballistics gel to showcase the terminal effects of these specialized rounds. It offers insights into their unique properties and potential applications, emphasizing safety considerations for handling such ammunition.

This guide details the handling and firing of incredibly volatile Havok Halo ammunition, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. It emphasizes extreme caution due to the rounds' high reactivity and potential fire hazards. The content includes visual evidence of impact effects on dirt and ballistic gelatin, highlighting the thermal and chemical reactions. Expert insights warn against dropping the rounds and stress the danger of sparks and heat igniting fires, particularly in dry conditions or against steel targets.

This guide details the testing of the 'Kitchen Sink' 12-gauge round from Hickory Flat Boars, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. The round contains a unique combination of a musket ball, 00 buckshot, and birdshot. Tests include impact on a water jug, pattern analysis on paper, and penetration testing in ballistics gel, showcasing the varied effects of its multi-projectile design. The video emphasizes proper range safety and provides insights into projectile behavior.

This video tests the effectiveness and accuracy of double-slug shotgun ammunition. It demonstrates the penetration capabilities of the slugs in ballistic gel and assesses their grouping at a distance, revealing significant spread. The test highlights the projectile deformation upon impact.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the effectiveness of a double slug shell, featuring two stacked lead slugs in a single 12-gauge cartridge. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, conducts tests using ballistics gel and water targets to assess lethality and energy transfer, recovering a completely flattened slug. Accuracy is evaluated at 35 yards, showing a relatively tight grouping for a multi-projectile load. The testing methodology includes proper range safety and clear explanations of ballistics principles.

This video explores a rare .22 Long Rifle cartridge, the Aguila Super Sniper, comparing its performance to standard .22LR ammunition. The presenter highlights its unusually short case and heavy 60-grain projectile, suggesting slower velocities. Testing in ballistic gel demonstrates its significant expansion and stopping power, described as a 'tractor' compared to the standard round's 'needle-like' penetration. The video also touches on its quiet performance with a suppressor.

This video provides an expert review of the American Derringer Model 1 in .30-30 Winchester, showcasing its extreme recoil and limited effectiveness due to its short barrel. The presenter, Scott, a seasoned ballistics tester, demonstrates its performance against various barriers and compares it to a Henry Lever Action rifle, highlighting the significant difference in energy transfer and expansion capabilities. The review also includes tests against body armor and a ballistic dummy, offering a comprehensive look at this unique firearm's capabilities and limitations.

This video provides an expert-level comparison between the .30-30 Win and .45-70 Gov't calibers, focusing on barrier penetration and terminal ballistics. The Banana Ballistics host, demonstrating high authority, uses specialized ammunition and controlled tests to reveal surprising performance differences, particularly against steel and in ballistics gel. The entry details specific Henry SPD rifles and Gorilla Ammunition loads, offering valuable insights for firearm enthusiasts and those interested in practical ballistics.

This video from Civilian Tactical provides an expert-level comparison of subsonic versus supersonic .22LR ammunition lethality. Using Clear Ballistics gelatin and simulating FBI testing standards with denim, the host demonstrates that heavy subsonic .22LR rounds can achieve greater penetration than their supersonic counterparts, challenging common assumptions about terminal performance. The experiment highlights the importance of bullet design and weight in terminal ballistics.

This video tests the effects of dragon's breath shotgun rounds on a ballistic gel head. It demonstrates that dragon's breath ammunition, especially when paired with a projectile like BBs, causes significant burning and melting of the ballistic gel, indicating it continues to burn after impact. The test uses a Geissele Arms Filthy Pheasant Shotgun and ammunition from Hickory Flatbore.
