This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of the 12-gauge Kraken Slug, a fully hollow projectile designed for significant impact. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical and featuring ammunition from Hickory Flat Boars, utilizes ballistics gelatin to showcase the slug's extreme expansion and energy transfer upon impact. The analysis reveals a unique 8-petal star pattern upon full expansion, indicating substantial tissue disruption.

This review tests the 'Kitchen Sink' 12-gauge round from Hickory Flat Boars, featuring a musket ball, double-aught buckshot, and birdshot. Tests include water jug impact, paper target patterning, and ballistics gel penetration, demonstrating the unique spread and energy transfer of this multi-projectile load.

This video showcases the 'Skittle Blaster 3000', an experimental AR-15 modification using a golf ball launcher to fire Skittles as a less-lethal deterrent. Testing on ballistics gel confirmed the candy's inability to penetrate, validating its non-lethal projectile status. The host also demonstrated a safe transition back to live ammunition.

This video provides a detailed, expert-level comparison between the .30-30 Winchester and .45-70 Government calibers, focusing on their barrier penetration capabilities. The host, demonstrating high authority, uses specialized ammunition and Henry SPD rifles to test performance against wood, concrete, sand, and steel. Unexpected results highlight the nuanced performance differences between these classic cartridges, especially with modern ammunition and rifle designs.

This video title, "Melhor que uma ponta oca!" (Better than a hollow point!), strongly suggests a comparison or discussion about ammunition effectiveness, likely focusing on terminal ballistics or defensive ammunition. The phrase "ponta oca" specifically refers to hollow-point ammunition, a common choice for self-defense and hunting due to its expansion properties. The video likely aims to present an alternative or superior option, possibly a full metal jacket (FMJ) round used in a specific context, or perhaps a different type of expanding projectile that the creator deems more effective. The content could involve ballistic gel tests, theoretical discussions, or real-world application scenarios to support its claim.

This YouTube video, titled 'Como ficam as balas hollow point depois de disparadas' (How hollow point bullets look after being fired), focuses on the terminal ballistics of hollow point ammunition. The video likely demonstrates and analyzes the expansion and deformation of hollow point projectiles upon impact, showcasing their effectiveness in self-defense or hunting scenarios. The content aims to educate viewers on the physical changes undergone by these specific bullet types after discharge.

This video details a comprehensive ballistics gel test of various .410 slug brands, including AGC, BPS, Sterling, and ATI. Performed by Buckeye Ballistics using a Stevens 301 shotgun and calibrated gel, the test measures velocity via a Caldwell chronograph and analyzes penetration, expansion, and fragmentation. The results highlight significant performance differences, with ATI slugs exhibiting extreme fragmentation and AGC showing impressive penetration.

This video title suggests a destructive test or demonstration involving buckshot and a toilet seat. Given the nature of buckshot and its potential for significant damage, the content likely focuses on the terminal ballistics or destructive capability of this type of ammunition. It's presented in a sensationalized manner to pique viewer curiosity about the outcome.

This video from Banana Ballistics features an expert-level comparison of a modern .50 caliber muzzleloader against a .500 S&W Magnum rifle. Through a series of rigorous tests involving wood, concrete, sand, steel, and ballistics gel, the host demonstrates and analyzes the penetration capabilities and terminal ballistics of each firearm. The conclusion highlights that while modern muzzleloaders are potent, they do not surpass the performance of high-powered rifles like the .500 S&W Magnum in these specific tests.

This video tests the lethality of marbles when fired from firearms. It investigates whether standard ammunition can be substituted with or augmented by marbles in terms of terminal ballistics and potential for harm. The practical demonstration aims to answer the question of whether marbles are a viable or effective projectile in a firearm context, likely exploring various calibers and firearm types.

This video tests ten popular deer rifle calibers using ballistic gel to evaluate terminal performance. The .308 Winchester and 7mm Remington Magnum demonstrated excellent penetration and expansion, while the 6.5 Creedmoor fragmented significantly. The .300 Winchester Magnum over-penetrated, and the .243 Winchester showed the weakest performance.

This video focuses on a practical technique for firearm enthusiasts: how to achieve clear ballistics gel. Ballistics gel is crucial for understanding bullet performance and terminal ballistics, often used in reviews and testing. The video likely covers the process and materials needed to create transparent gel, which enhances visibility during testing and analysis of projectile impact. This is a valuable DIY technique for those who conduct their own testing or are interested in the scientific aspects of ammunition performance.
