This video demonstrates a unique approach to shotgun ammunition by testing 'Chain Shot' – custom loads using different types of chain. The presenter, exhibiting experienced authority, tests fine, medium, and thick chains against ballistic gel. The results show minimal penetration for fine chain, significant penetration for medium chain, and the thick chain bouncing off with considerable force, highlighting its unpredictable and potentially dangerous nature.
This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test of 'chain shot' ammunition, an adaptation of historical pirate cannon shot, loaded into modern shotgun shells. The test evaluates the penetration of fine, medium, and thick chain shot. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, concludes that chain shot is impractical and potentially dangerous for modern use, best left to historical reenactments.
This video explores the effectiveness of 'chain shot' shotgun ammunition, a historically inspired projectile. The presenter tests three variations (fine, medium, and heavy chain) against various targets, including pineapples and ballistic gelatin, to assess their spread, impact energy, and potential lethality. The findings suggest that while chain shot can cause significant surface damage and wound channels, its penetration and overall effectiveness vary considerably with chain thickness and projectile design.
This video from Civilian Tactical explores the effectiveness of chain shot, a historical pirate projectile, adapted into modern shotgun shells. The expert instructor details the historical context, tests three chain types (fine, medium, thick) for accuracy, impact on pineapples, water, and ballistics gelatin. The findings suggest chain shot is not a practical or deadly modern ammunition, best left to historical reenactments.
This video tests the lethality and dispersion of 'chain shot' ammunition. Two types, large and small, were evaluated by observing their effect on a water jug for energy transfer, a paper target for spread, and a homemade body armor sample for penetration. The results indicate chain shot is less lethal than a .22 caliber round but still causes significant fragmentation and spread.
This guide outlines a testing protocol for experimental chain shot shells, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. It details the setup for evaluating energy transfer, pattern spread, and lethality against simulated body armor. The results suggest chain shot is less lethal than a .22 caliber round, failing to penetrate homemade armor.
