This video demonstrates a professional firearms instructor's test of 'chain shot' ammunition, a concept adapted from naval warfare for shotguns. Three variants—fine, medium, and coarse chain—were fired into ballistic gel to assess penetration and energy transfer. The fine chain showed minimal penetration, the medium chain penetrated about 4 inches, and the coarse chain exhibited dangerous ricochet potential, leading the instructor to conclude it's best left to historical naval contexts.

This video demonstrates a test of 'chain shot,' an adaptation of historical pirate ammunition, using a modern shotgun and ballistic gel. Three types of chain (fine, medium, and thick) were loaded into shotgun shells and fired. The results showed minimal penetration for fine chain, moderate penetration for medium chain, and a surprising lack of penetration with the thick chain, which acted more like a paintball. The instructor concludes that chain shot is impractical for modern use.

This YouTube video features a modern pirate experiment testing the effectiveness of chain shot fired from a shotgun. The experiment aims to determine if this historical tactic still works today by firing different types of chains at targets like pineapples and ballistic gel. The video delves into the history and mechanics of chain shot, showcases the preparation of shotgun cartridges with chains, and presents the results of tests on various media. It concludes with the findings of the experiment.

This video explores the historical and ballistic effects of firing a metal chain from a 12-gauge shotgun, recreating the legendary "chain shot" used by pirates. A firearms professional tests three different chain sizes, assessing accuracy, target destruction (pineapples, water buckets), and simulating human damage with ballistic gel. The content covers the historical context of chain shot, practical testing, and provides a verdict on its effectiveness and potential impact.

This YouTube video appears to be a test or demonstration of the "CHAIN SHOT" ammunition, likely focusing on its lethality. Given the title's question "Qual é a letalidade do *CHAIN SHOT* (Teste)?" (What is the lethality of CHAIN SHOT (Test)?), the content is expected to involve ballistic testing and analysis of this specific ammunition type. While no specific firearms are mentioned, the context implies testing in a controlled environment, possibly involving various firearm platforms to assess the effectiveness of the CHAIN SHOT.

This test evaluates custom 12 Gauge chain shot shells, comparing large and small chain variants. The shells were tested for energy, spread, and lethality using a water jug, paper target, and a mannequin with homemade body armor. Results showed a unique 'snake' pattern and failure to penetrate the armor, indicating lower lethality than a .22 caliber round.
