This video from Civilian Tactical explores the effectiveness of custom-loaded shotgun shells featuring broadhead arrow tips. The host, an expert content creator, uses a Maverick 88 shotgun and ballistics gel to test penetration and lethality. The results indicate these experimental shells have limited effectiveness due to poor projectile integrity and insufficient powder burn, leading to shallow penetration.

This guide details the experimental process of modifying 12 Gauge shotshells to fire steel tacks, as demonstrated by an experienced individual from Guns Blazing Ranch. It covers the disassembly of shells, loading with tacks, and firing the custom rounds at a target, providing visual evidence of the impact. The video highlights the potential for spread and penetration from such homemade ammunition.

This video demonstrates an experimental test of custom-loaded 12 Gauge shotgun shells filled with steel washers. The Civilian Tactical host, an experienced firearms content creator, outlines a clear test methodology involving targets for energy transfer, accuracy, and lethality against homemade body armor. The results show the washers penetrate soft targets but are stopped by layered armor, offering insights into their effectiveness compared to standard ammunition.
