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 demonstrates how to create a 'cut shell' by partially detaching the base of a birdshot shell with a knife. The stated purpose is to allow the birdshot to stay contained longer, potentially increasing momentum and damage downrange. The presenter contrasts the performance of a standard birdshot shell with a cut shell using slow-motion footage.

This guide details the process of creating and testing a 'cut shell' for 12 Gauge shotguns, a field-expedient modification to increase projectile impact energy. The video demonstrates scoring and breaking a shotshell hull to create a single projectile effect, akin to a slug. While effective for increased damage, the guide highlights significant reliability issues, such as failure to eject, due to the altered shell casing shape.

This guide details the process of creating and utilizing a cut shotgun shell, a technique historically employed for hunting medium game when specialized slugs were unavailable. The video demonstrates how cutting the shell casing allows the front portion to exit the barrel as a single, heavy projectile, significantly increasing penetration compared to standard birdshot. The demonstration highlights its effectiveness against barriers like cinder blocks, contrasting it with the ineffectiveness of birdshot.
