This video tests the lethality of a handheld slingshot with steel BBs against a ballistic cranium target. While a BB penetrated 1/4 inch into synthetic flesh, it did not reach the skull, concluding the slingshot is not deadly in this specific close-range scenario. The test highlights the importance of understanding projectile capabilities for self-defense.
This test explores the lethality of blowdarts fired from a 12 gauge shotgun. Custom shells were prepared and fired at a ballistic gel head. Results showed the darts failed to penetrate and hit sideways, performing worse than a standard blowdart gun. The experiment highlights the unexpected physics involved when adapting projectiles.
This video tests Firequest's 12-gauge 'Flash Thunder Grenade' shotgun shells against a ballistic gel 'Cranium Target' at point-blank range. The test reveals the shell itself melted from extreme heat, and the ballistic gel sustained a deep, melted cavity with burn marks in the eye socket. The host concludes that while not firing a projectile, the shockwave and heat are lethal at close range.
This YouTube video title indicates a comparison between 'Dragon's Breath' ammunition and a 'Cranium Target'. The inclusion of hashtags like #gun, #shotgun, and #civtac suggests a focus on firearms, specifically shotguns and civilian tactical applications. The content likely involves testing the effects of Dragon's Breath rounds, a specialized shotgun ammunition known for its fiery projectile, against a target designed to simulate a skull. The video will likely appeal to firearms enthusiasts interested in ballistic testing, specialized ammunition, and practical applications of firearms.
This video provides a live-fire demonstration of G2 Research's R.I.P. (Radically Invasive Projectile) 12 Gauge ammunition. The test utilizes a Cranium Target Ballistic Gel head and a car door as a backstop to showcase the round's terminal performance. The presenter, from 704 Tactical, highlights the extensive fragmentation and significant temporary cavity created by the projectile, as well as its penetration capabilities.
This video from 704 Tactical features an expert-level demonstration of the G2 Research R.I.P. 12-gauge slugs. The demonstration utilizes a Cranium Target ballistic gel face within a vehicle setting to showcase the projectile's performance upon impact, emphasizing its fragmentation and energy transfer characteristics. The instructor's high authority level and familiarity with specialized defensive ammunition are evident.
This video demonstrates a live-fire test of the Lightfield Home Defender HV Star 2, a less-lethal 12 Gauge shotgun round. The test utilizes a Cranium Target Ballistic Gel face to assess the projectile's impact and damage. The speaker, identified as a Firearms Content Creator from 704 Tactical, provides an informative overview of the round's design and performance, highlighting its less-lethal application.
This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of the G2 Research R.I.P. 9mm round fired from a Taurus GX4 XL into a ballistic gel face. The analysis highlights the projectile's designed fragmentation, with petals breaking off upon impact to maximize tissue damage. The test concludes with a strong recommendation to avoid such ammunition due to its extreme wounding potential.
This video tests the terminal ballistics of G2 Research R.I.P. 9mm ammunition fired from a Springfield Armory XDS-9. The test uses a ballistic gel cranium target to simulate impact. Footage shows the R.I.P. round fragmenting upon impact, with its trocar petals dispersing within the gel.
This compilation showcases the terminal ballistics of various handguns fired into a cranium-shaped ballistic gel target. It features a custom Glock-style pistol, a suppressed handgun, a powerful revolver likely chambered in .500 S&W Magnum, and a gold-plated Desert Eagle in .50 AE. The video highlights the significant cavity formation and energy transfer from each projectile, demonstrating impressive performance in simulated tissue.
This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of a Taurus Raging Bull .44 Magnum revolver using a Cranium Target Ballistic Gel head. The test shows significant energy transfer and cavitation, highlighting the destructive power of the .44 Magnum round. The Taurus Raging Bull is presented with its key features, and the impact is analyzed in slow motion.
This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of a .50 AE Desert Eagle fired into a Cranium Target ballistic gel head. The footage showcases the firearm preparation, the single shot impact, and the internal damage caused by the large caliber round. The .50 AE Desert Eagle, a gold-plated model with a 6-inch barrel, delivers significant terminal ballistics.
