This video discusses a specific type of 12-gauge ammunition, dubbed 'Seismic,' featuring a 25-ounce projectile. The instructor expresses strong reluctance to fire this round due to its extreme recoil, which he describes as uncomfortable and potentially damaging to the firearm. He notes that such heavy projectiles require highly specialized powder charges for safe firing.
This video compares a TAC79 37mm grenade launcher with a Caliber 12 signal pistol for self-defense in a survival scenario. The TAC79 offers significant intimidation and a loud bang, but lacks stopping power. The signal pistol has potential impact but is difficult to aim accurately. Both are presented as poor options for direct self-defense.
This video tests whether a Caliber 12 perimeter alarm can fire live ammunition. The experiment involves modifying a blank cartridge to contain a projectile without powder and then testing a live Caliber 12 round. The results indicate that while the alarm can be modified, it lacks the energy to cause significant damage with live rounds, and manufacturers strongly advise against such modifications.
This video demonstrates the extreme loudness of a 1700 dB flashbang device, comparing it to a smaller 'pest repeller' device. The instructor emphasizes the necessity of hearing protection due to the significant noise output. The video also briefly touches on the construction of the flashbang, noting the brass casing's role in containing the blast.
This video explores a novel concept of remote vaccination using specialized Caliber 12 shotgun cartridges. These cartridges fire small darts with stabilization fins, designed to penetrate approximately 10 cm into ballistic gelatin. The presenter speculates that such projectiles could be effective for vaccinating livestock from a distance.
This video tests airsoft BBs designed for 12-gauge cartridges, claiming to be less lethal. The presenter fires them from a Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol shotgun into ballistic gelatin at varying distances. While the BBs did not penetrate the gelatin significantly, they caused surface damage and fractured, suggesting they could cause impressive marks without being lethal. The presenter emphasizes that these are NOT for use in real airsoft games and advises caution.
This video explores the theoretical concept of combining a 12-gauge shotgun, airsoft projectiles, and pepper spray to create a less-lethal weapon. The experiment involves loading airsoft capsules into a 12-gauge shotgun and testing the dispersion and impact of pepper spray, followed by a ballistic gelatin test to assess projectile penetration.
