This video tests the effectiveness and accuracy of double-slug shotgun ammunition. It demonstrates the penetration capabilities of the slugs in ballistic gel and assesses their grouping at a distance, revealing significant spread. The test highlights the projectile deformation upon impact.

This video demonstrates the functionality of 9mm incendiary ammunition, comparing it to standard military-grade 50 BMG incendiary rounds. The presenter highlights that while incendiary rounds are typically military-use, adapting the technology to 9mm is possible. The test focuses on observing muzzle flash and bullet trace, noting that these specific 9mm rounds are designed to detonate on impact rather than being tracers.

This video showcases the impressive performance of Havok 9mm ammunition, specifically its ability to detonate upon impact. The presenter tests the ammunition's explosive capabilities on both ballistic gel and a steel target, noting a double detonation effect when hitting steel. The ammunition is described as scarce and difficult to find.

This video tests the capability of a Caliber 12 perimeter alarm to fire a projectile. While designed for blank cartridges, the experiment involves loading a projectile without powder. The results show the alarm deforms and emits a loud noise, but the projectile is ejected with insufficient energy to cause significant damage, highlighting the dangers of modifying such devices.

This video explores whether a 12 gauge flare gun can fire blank ammunition, a concept inspired by perimeter alarms designed to deter wildlife. While the flare gun initially produced light primer strikes, a modification involving seating a piece of paper around the primer allowed for successful ignition of blanks. The experiment then moved to a 12 gauge shotgun, where blanks were fired, demonstrating their potential as a loud deterrent.

This video tests three less-lethal shotgun ammunition types: 'Florida Man' (pink flamingos), 'Disco Ducks' (disco balls and rubber duckies), and 'Rubber Buck' (rubber duckies). Testing in ballistic gel reveals significant penetration from the 'Florida Man' rounds, deeming them too dangerous. 'Disco Ducks' showed no penetration, indicating a less-lethal performance. The 'Rubber Buck' rounds were problematic, with some projectiles sticking and the casing melting during firing. The 'Disco Ducks' are recommended as the safest less-lethal option.

This video tests the 'Tropic Thunder' 12 gauge ammunition, designed to penetrate jungle foliage. It features a combination of buckshot and birdshot, intended to maintain momentum through branches and leaves while providing a wider spread for engagement. The test suggests the ammunition is effective in its intended environment.

This video demonstrates the use of an aerial parachute flare, highlighting its deployment mechanism and bright illumination. The presenter expresses initial apprehension due to the potential for malfunction and the device's intense burn time, but ultimately proceeds with the test after recent rainfall mitigates fire risk. The flare successfully deploys its parachute and burns for approximately 40 seconds, providing a powerful visual signal.
