This video demonstrates an experimental test of replacing lead shot in a 12-gauge shotgun shell with approximately 100 hairpins. The test involves three parts: a water test to show immediate energy, a cardboard test for pattern analysis, and a ballistic gelatin test to assess penetration and projectile behavior. The results indicate significant projectile deformation and penetration, suggesting a potentially lethal outcome.

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 guide details the process of creating custom exploding slugs, as demonstrated by an experienced firearms instructor. It involves using 'Lucky 7 Air Ammo' slugs as a base and carefully filling them with explosive material salvaged from '.22 cal Edgun West exploding pellets'. The process emphasizes meticulous handling and securing the material with super glue. The instructor highlights successful test firings using an 'AEA Zeus .50 cal airgun', showcasing the projectile's explosive effect.

This guide details the experimental testing of custom '22 Super Long Rifle' ammunition, which involves placing a .22LR bullet into a .223 casing, within a Steyr AUG rifle. The process includes observing cycling reliability, comparing recoil reduction (noted as approximately 20% less than .223), and assessing energy output through impact tests. The video emphasizes that this is an experimental and potentially problematic modification, advising viewers against replicating it due to the risk of strange malfunctions and unpredictable ballistics, such as ricochets.

This guide details the experimental process of creating and testing custom bullets made from JB Weld epoxy. The Civilian Tactical host demonstrates loading these epoxy projectiles into 12-gauge shells and evaluates their performance through energy impact tests, accuracy assessments, and a lethality test using ballistics gelatin. The results indicate these custom bullets are highly penetrative but lack accuracy.

This YouTube video investigates the potential dangers of cork bullets when fired from a shotgun. The title explicitly mentions testing 'balas de cortiça' (cork bullets) in a 'escopeta' (shotgun), indicating a focus on the performance and safety implications of this unusual ammunition. The content likely aims to demonstrate the effects of these projectiles and assess whether they pose a significant risk.

This video explores the creation and demonstration of homemade Dragon's Breath shotgun shells, which incorporate magnesium to produce fiery projectiles. The title explicitly mentions 'cartuchos de espingarda com magnésio em ação!', directly indicating a focus on shotgun ammunition and its pyrotechnic effects. While no specific firearm models or calibers beyond 'shotgun' and implied shotgun shell types are mentioned, the demonstration of this specialized ammunition would appeal to firearm enthusiasts interested in experimental or unusual ammunition types, as well as those with an interest in the pyrotechnic aspects of shooting.

This video, titled "BALA DE GELO: Será que é perigosa? (Teste prático)" which translates to "ICE BULLET: Is it dangerous? (Practical Test)", appears to be a practical test of an "ice bullet". While the title and description do not explicitly mention firearms, the term "bala" (bullet) strongly suggests a connection to ammunition and firearms testing. The focus is on a practical demonstration of its properties and potential danger, implying a review or experimental approach. Without a transcript, it's difficult to confirm specific firearm models or calibers, but the implication of a "bullet" makes it relevant to firearm enthusiasts interested in experimental ammunition or testing.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features Scott testing an experimental 'cube bullet' design fired from a massive Punt Gun named 'Fury.' The Punt Gun, a 9-foot-long, 110+ lb black powder firearm, generates over 30,000 ft/lbs of muzzle energy and 800 lbs of recoil. The tests evaluate the penetration and deformation of aluminum, titanium, copper, and tungsten cubes fired into water-filled trash cans, showcasing the significant impact of projectile density.

This guide outlines the experimental creation of improvised shotgun shells, mimicking Dragon's Breath effects, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. It details the packing of flint, steel wool, and magnesium shavings into 12 Gauge shells. The host, a specialized content creator, emphasizes that these DIY versions do not replicate the performance of authentic Dragon's Breath rounds.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the effectiveness of 'Bubble Buck' shotgun rounds, which combine bubblegum with 00 buckshot. Through a series of tests involving a water bucket, paper target, and ballistics gelatin, the host demonstrates that while the buckshot is lethal, the bubblegum component offers no practical ballistic advantage. The content highlights experimental ammunition and basic ballistics principles.

This video demonstrates a comprehensive test of a novel dumbbell-shaped projectile fired from a shotgun. The testing methodology includes impact energy assessment using a 5-gallon bucket, paper target behavior analysis, and terminal ballistics evaluation in ballistic gelatin to determine lethality and wound channel characteristics. The results indicate surprising performance from the lightweight aluminum projectile.
