This video features a detailed, albeit destructive, test of the Triton Ronin optic. The optic was subjected to multiple shots from an airsoft rifle using birdshot and buckshot ammunition, as well as submersion in water. While the optic eventually failed due to water ingress and impact damage, it demonstrated surprising resilience, with the reticle remaining functional and the glass intact through significant abuse. The test highlights the optic's limitations under extreme conditions but also its unexpected durability for its price point.

This video tests the ability of a 5kg block of solid medical-grade ice to stop shotgun projectiles. Initially, fine lead ammunition was tested against the ice block and a milk jug. While the ice block was impacted, the milk jug behind it remained intact, suggesting the ice was effective against this type of projectile. However, when buckshot was fired, the ice block shattered, and the projectiles penetrated the milk jug, indicating the ice was not effective against buckshot.
