This video investigates the potential dangers of using fishing weights (chumbada de pesca) as projectiles in a shotgun. It aims to determine if this is a safe practice or if it poses risks to the firearm or shooter. The content is a cautionary exploration rather than a demonstration of safe or recommended use.
This experiment tests the effectiveness of improvised 12-gauge shotgun slugs made from 1oz lead fishing weights. The rounds, loaded by a professional, demonstrated significant impact, exploding a water jug, penetrating a shrapnel vest, and severely damaging a helmet. While not fully piercing the helmet, the results highlight the destructive potential of these homemade projectiles.
