Videos tagged with Bird Shot

This video documents a personal account of being shot at close range with a 12 gauge shotgun. The individual describes being hit with bird shot, specifically number 5 pellets, at approximately 2 feet away. The narrative focuses on the survivor's faith and recovery, highlighting the severity of the close-range shotgun blast.

This video tests the effectiveness of Firebird 65 reactive targets against different types of ammunition. It demonstrates that .22 Long Rifle ammunition can effectively detonate the targets, creating a visible smoke ring. Bird shot was also tested against a steel target, confirming its ability to detonate the reactive targets.

This video showcases the Standard Manufacturing SSR, a unique shotgun capable of firing two rounds simultaneously. The presenter demonstrates loading two shells and firing them together, noting the distinct sound and recoil. While the dual firing creates a powerful effect, the presenter observes that the recoil is manageable due to a slight delay between shots. The video also briefly mentions gunsmithing programs at sdi.ca.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a solid rubber disc against various calibers of ammunition. While bird shot and .22LR showed minimal penetration, 9mm and 7.62x39mm demonstrated significant penetration, with .308 Winchester completely destroying the target. The test highlights the varying effectiveness of different ammunition types against a solid, albeit unconventional, barrier.

This video features YouTuber hickok45 demonstrating and discussing several firearms, including a Ruger Mark IV Lite pistol with a Silencer Central Banish 22K V2 suppressor, a Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun, and various .22LR ammunition types. He highlights the ease of disassembly for the Ruger Mark IV compared to older models and discusses the performance and cycling issues with subsonic .22LR ammunition. The video also touches on the reliability of semi-automatic shotguns and handguns, drawing parallels to the Glock's impact on the handgun market.

This video tests the bullet resistance of a cast iron skillet against various calibers, including Bird Shot, .22, .380 ACP, 9mm, .223 Remington, 7.62x39mm, and .308 Winchester. While the skillet demonstrated some resistance, it was penetrated by several calibers, with fragments noted in the backing material. The test highlights that a cast iron skillet is not a reliable ballistic shield.

This video segment highlights 12 gauge as a top survival caliber due to its exceptional versatility. It can effectively be used for hunting small game with bird shot, larger animals with buckshot, and for self-defense against both human and animal threats with slugs. The discussion also touches on the reliability of manual actions like pump-action and double-barrel shotguns compared to semi-automatics, though acknowledging the trade-off in ammunition capacity.

This video reviews the Weatherby PA-459 'Reaper' 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, highlighting its budget-friendly nature and decorative skull design. The presenter tests various ammunition types, including bird shot, buckshot, and slugs, to demonstrate patterning at approximately 20 yards. A key takeaway is the failure of a Bushnell red dot sight under shotgun recoil, emphasizing the reliability of iron sights for this platform.

This video tests the bulletproof capabilities of Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid, against various calibers. While Bird Shot and .22LR showed some resistance, higher calibers like 9mm and .308 Winchester penetrated the Oobleck. The experiment highlights the fluid's unique properties of hardening under impact but flowing when pressure is released.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a "Core Everyday Carry" belt buckle against various calibers. While it withstands bird shot and .22LR, it fails against 380 ACP, showing significant damage and fragmentation. The buckle is not considered bulletproof.

This YouTube Short explores the range and effectiveness of bird shot ammunition. The title directly asks how far bird shot travels, indicating the video will likely demonstrate or test this concept. Given the #shorts format, it's expected to be a concise visual demonstration rather than an in-depth analysis. The focus is on a specific type of ammunition and its ballistic properties.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a pocket knife against various firearm calibers. It demonstrates that even smaller calibers like .22LR can penetrate a pocket knife, rendering it ineffective as a ballistic shield. The test highlights the limitations of a pocket knife in a firearm confrontation.
