This video tests three unusual types of Firequest shotgun ammunition: rubber buckshot, flachettes, and birdshot. The rubber buckshot from Firequest, fired from a Maverick 88, had minimal impact and felt like a toy. The flachettes demonstrated significant penetration, piercing a fragmentation vest and wood. The birdshot was noted as the heaviest 12-gauge ammunition the presenter had ever fired, with an unexpectedly tight pattern.

This video reviews Patriot Triple Buckshot ammunition, highlighting its potential for home defense. The presenter notes that this load contains 15 pellets of double-ought buckshot, which is six more than standard loads. While it may have slightly less powder, leading to potentially less wall penetration, the increased pellet count offers a denser pattern at close range. Testing at 15-20 yards revealed a tighter pattern compared to traditional double-ought buckshot.

This video tests the performance of Dragon's Breath 12 gauge shotgun shells against ballistic gel.
