This video experimentally tests the common myth that shotguns do not require precise aiming due to shot spread, by systematically shortening the barrel length of 12-gauge shotguns. Matt Carriker, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise and legal awareness, shows that significant spread only occurs with extremely short barrels or increased distances. The video also covers legal NFA compliance for Short Barreled Shotguns and tests terminal ballistics.

This ballistic test by Kentucky Ballistics explores if a standard residential air conditioner can serve as effective cover. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm are stopped by internal coils, larger rounds like .44 Magnum and .50 AE are often halted by the dense compressor unit. Even powerful rifle rounds struggle to penetrate the compressor, which acts as the only reliable stopping point, though it's a small target. The conclusion is that an AC unit offers poor ballistic protection.

This YouTube video from TheFireArmGuy investigates a common firearm myth: whether a hanging bedsheet can stop a .22LR round from 20 yards. The creator is prompted by a subscriber's comment and aims to provide a factual test. The video also includes links to various playlists covering handgun reviews, rifle and shotgun reviews, Second Amendment content, gear reviews, and range test reviews, as well as the creator's Twitter handle.
