This video tests the lethality and accuracy of "magnetic sizzling dragon eggs" fired from a shotgun. The projectiles demonstrated significant energy transfer, causing clear pass-throughs in three gallons of water and substantial damage to ballistics gelatin. Accuracy was also tested, with shots landing dead center on a target, indicating surprising precision for this type of ammunition.

This video tests the effectiveness of 12 gauge 'Jack' shotgun shells from Hickory Flatbs. Using clear ballistics gelatin and a Geoffrey Arms Filthy Pheasant shotgun, the test reveals that the unique 'jack' projectiles penetrate 8-12 inches. Notably, the projectile's design prevents overpenetration, making them a potential consideration for home defense scenarios where minimizing collateral damage is crucial.

This video tests three novel less-lethal shotgun rounds: 'Florida Man' (pink flamingos), 'Disco Ducks' (disco balls and rubber ducks), and 'Rubber Bucky' (rubber ducks). Testing in ballistics gelatin reveals significant penetration issues with the 'Florida Man' rounds, while 'Disco Ducks' showed no penetration, indicating true less-lethal performance. 'Rubber Bucky' experienced melting and significant pellet embedding. The instructor recommends 'Disco Ducks' as the most viable less-lethal option among the three tested.

This video details ballistic testing of Barnes TAC-XPD .40 S&W ammunition, conducted at the Barnes testing facility. Tests included velocity measurement using a Springfield Armory XD40 Tactical and penetration/expansion analysis in ballistic gelatin behind four layers of denim. The results demonstrate consistent performance and significant expansion, highlighting the effectiveness of Barnes' all-copper bullet technology for self-defense applications across various calibers.
