This video tests the penetration capabilities of an incendiary armor-piercing projectile against a Level 3A vest from Safe Life Defense. Initial tests on a tire rim showed significant damage from a standard round and penetration from the armor-piercing round. The armor-piercing round was then fired at the Level 3A vest, which surprisingly stopped the projectile without perforation, leaving the projectile flattened.

This video demonstrates the effects of a 'Flash Thunder' light and sound grenade fired from a Maverick 88 shotgun at a ballistic skull target. The test reveals the intense heat and shockwave generated, causing significant damage to the skull's eye socket and indicating the potential lethality of such devices.

This video tests the effects of a 12 Gauge flashbang grenade against body armor. The test demonstrates the intense flash and heat produced by the device, causing the target paper and the body armor itself to ignite. While the armor did not appear to be penetrated, significant heat and burn marks were evident.

This video from 704 TACTICAL tests various extreme shotgun ammunition rounds against a Ford Ranger, starting with the truck bed and progressing to the engine. The instructor demonstrates the impact and penetration capabilities of standard birdshot, double buckshot, and several specialty rounds like the Pitbull, Double Slug, Macho Gaucho, SO Round, Brass Tenderizer, and Steel Dumbbell. The tests reveal significant damage, with some rounds penetrating the truck bed and doors, while others are designed for expansion and personal defense. The video culminates in testing powerful rounds against a running engine, ultimately disabling the vehicle.

This video reviews the new Fire Quest long-range 37mm smoke rounds and the Havoc launcher. It compares the performance of older cardboard smoke rounds with new aluminum ones, demonstrating significantly improved range and smoke output with the aluminum variants. The Havoc launcher is highlighted for its versatility, functioning as a standalone flare launcher or an under-barrel accessory.

This video tests Fire Quest armor-piercing shotgun ammunition against AR500 SA2 steel armor. The test reveals that while the ammunition left a mark, it failed to penetrate the AR500 steel. The armor's rating for 'penetrating threats' or 'green tips' provided additional defense.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of RIP 12 Gauge ammunition fired at a ballistic gel cranium target, both directly and through a car window. The tests highlight the fragmentation and penetration capabilities of the rounds, with the speaker noting the effectiveness even after passing through glass. The video also showcases the utility of Cranium Targets' ballistic gel faces for testing.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of 12-gauge RIP rounds from Fire Quest, featuring a 303-grain solid brass slug with a velocity of 1430 FPS. Tested through a car door into a water jug, the round completely obliterated the target and created a significant exit hole. It also demonstrated the ability to instantly deflate a spare tire, suggesting high energy transfer at close range. The instructor notes optimal effectiveness from 0-10 yards, recommending these rounds for personal defense rather than hunting.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of a Mossberg 12-gauge slug gun using specialty ammunition from Ballistic Machinist and Fire Quest. The test involves shooting through the bed of a Toyota Tundra at water jugs, showcasing the penetration and expansion capabilities of traditional slugs, a 'Demi Gorgon' round, and a double slug shell.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of various 12-gauge shotgun rounds fired from a Mossberg rifle slug barrel at a Toyota Tundra. The instructor tests traditional slugs, specialty rounds like the Ballistic Machinist Demogorgon and Fire Quest Double Slug, and experimental rounds such as the bean bag and Javelin rounds. The impacts on the truck and water jugs are analyzed, highlighting penetration, expansion, and projectile integrity.

William Kirk of Washington Gun Law TV provides an urgent update on the ATF's classification of the Hellfire trigger system as a machine gun. The ATF has issued a cease and desist letter to Fire Quest, demanding the cessation of manufacture, sale, and transfer of these devices, and requiring notification to customers. This action follows similar regulatory scrutiny of forced reset and wide-open triggers, highlighting the ATF's ongoing efforts to regulate firearm components that enhance firing rate.

This video tests the effectiveness of 12-gauge rock salt shotgun shells against ballistic gelatin. The experiment, conducted by 704 Tactical in collaboration with Fire Quest and American Pawn and Gun, demonstrates that while rock salt can penetrate the skin and cause burning, it lacks the depth of penetration to be considered life-threatening or effective for personal defense. The instructor advises against using specialty ammunition for self-defense.
