This video demonstrates an experimental modification of a 12-gauge shotgun shell, replacing birdshot with thousands of bobby pins. Through a three-part test involving water jugs, cardboard targets, and ballistic gelatin, the effectiveness and lethality of this improvised projectile are evaluated. The results indicate significant energy transfer, wide pattern spread, and penetration capabilities, suggesting the bobby pin shell is 'certified deadly'.

This video from Tática Civil demonstrates a unique ballistic test using 12 Gauge shotgun shells loaded with Jawbreaker candies. The instructor, showing experienced firearm handling, tests their impact on a water jug and a Clear Ballistics gel head, comparing the spread to standard birdshot. The results indicate these candy rounds deliver significant energy and wider spread than conventional shotgun shells, posing a greater threat than their composition might suggest.

This video demonstrates a unique ballistic test using 12 Gauge shotgun shells loaded with jawbreaker candies. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, fires these shells at a water jug, paper target, and a Clear Ballistics Joe Fit Head. The results show that these candy projectiles carry significant energy, create a wide spread, and can cause substantial damage, debunking the notion that they are harmless.

This video demonstrates the creation and ballistic performance of a 'dime cut shell,' a modified 12 gauge shotgun shell. The expert instructor from Civilian Tactical shows how cutting the shell's base causes the pellets to fly as a single unit, creating a slug-like effect. Testing includes impacts on a water jug and a Clear Ballistics Joe Fit head, revealing significant damage and projectile dispersion patterns.

This video provides a practical, experimental guide to understanding how winter clothing can impede self-defense ammunition performance. The host, demonstrating high authority in tactical gear and ammunition testing, uses ballistic gel to show that common JHP rounds in .380 ACP and 9mm Luger often fail to expand when fired through heavy clothing, leading to over-penetration. The 10mm Auto is highlighted as a caliber that can maintain expansion under these conditions.

This video from Civilian Tactical provides an expert-level comparison of subsonic versus supersonic .22LR ammunition lethality. Using Clear Ballistics gelatin and simulating FBI testing standards with denim, the host demonstrates that heavy subsonic .22LR rounds can achieve greater penetration than their supersonic counterparts, challenging common assumptions about terminal performance. The experiment highlights the importance of bullet design and weight in terminal ballistics.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of a unique hybrid 12-gauge shotgun shell containing birdshot, buckshot, and a slug. The test, conducted by an instructor with high authority, uses a GForce Arms Filthy Pheasant shotgun and Clear Ballistics gel to analyze the complex wound channel created by the multi-component round.

This video tests the terminal ballistics of custom clay bullets across various calibers, including .40 S&W, 12 Gauge slugs and buckshot, .300 BLK, and .50 BMG. The results show that while clay bullets can create impact marks and penetrate light materials, they tend to fragment or vaporize upon significant impact, especially at higher velocities or with larger calibers. The .300 BLK and .50 BMG rounds fragmented almost instantly due to extreme forces.

This expert review by Military Arms Channel details the performance of the SIG SPEAR rifle in 6.8x51mm (.277 SIG Fury). The analysis includes extensive ballistics gel testing, a penetration test against Level IV body armor, velocity and energy measurements using a Garmin Xero C1 Pro, and accuracy assessments. The speaker, a recognized firearms expert, provides objective data and comparisons to other common calibers, highlighting the cartridge's significant power and the rifle's capabilities.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features an expert-level review and comparison of two powerful handguns chambered in .50 AE: the Magnum Research Desert Eagle and the Bond Arms Cyclops. The host, Scott, demonstrates their capabilities through rigorous ballistics testing, including velocity measurements and penetration tests using ballistic gel and even an armored car. The content highlights the significant power and recoil associated with these firearms, offering valuable insights for enthusiasts and experienced shooters.

This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing Magtech, Sig Sauer V-Crown, and Federal HST 9mm jacketed hollow point ammunition. The presenter, Guns Pinoy, evaluates expansion and penetration, noting that while hollow points are generally more expensive, they are preferred for defensive pistols. The test uses a Glock 19 and a 10% FBI Gel block from Clear Ballistics.

This guide details the construction of an improvised slam-fire shotgun using common hardware store materials, referencing the TM 31-210 manual. It covers component selection like steel pipes and an end cap, and the creation of a firing pin. The video emphasizes safety during testing with ballistics gel and professional equipment.
