This video demonstrates a unique ballistic test using 12 Gauge shotgun shells loaded with jawbreaker candies. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, fires these shells at a water jug, paper target, and a Clear Ballistics Joe Fit Head. The results show that these candy projectiles carry significant energy, create a wide spread, and can cause substantial damage, debunking the notion that they are harmless.
This video demonstrates the impressive velocity and impact energy of a high-powered PCP air rifle, specifically the Western Airguns Rattler, using H&N Baracuda Hunter pellets. The host, acting as a subject matter expert, showcases a chronograph reading of 1212 FPS, highlighting the significant power achievable with modern airguns. The analysis includes a scope cam replay of the pellet's trajectory and target impact, emphasizing the effectiveness of this setup for certain applications.
This video explores the effectiveness of 'chain shot' shotgun ammunition, a historically inspired projectile. The presenter tests three variations (fine, medium, and heavy chain) against various targets, including pineapples and ballistic gelatin, to assess their spread, impact energy, and potential lethality. The findings suggest that while chain shot can cause significant surface damage and wound channels, its penetration and overall effectiveness vary considerably with chain thickness and projectile design.
This video tests the destructive potential and lethality of a budget-friendly rubber bullet. The test involved impacting a clay pigeon, a water jug, and a fragment vest to assess energy transfer and penetration. The rubber bullets embedded in the fragment vest, with one striking a steel plate, indicating significant impact force.
This video tests the bulletproof capabilities of a rubber ball against various calibers, including .22, Bird Shot, .380 ACP, 5.56x45mm (.223), .308 Winchester, and finally, .50 BMG. While the ball resisted complete penetration from most calibers, the .308 Winchester showed signs of penetration with energy loss, and the .50 BMG demonstrated significant impact energy, though it did not fully penetrate the ball. The test highlights the varying effectiveness of ballistic materials against different ammunition types.
This video tests the 'lethality' of spaghetti when fired from a shotgun, using a three-step process involving paper targets for spread and accuracy, water jugs for energy impact, and a shrapnel vest for penetration. While primarily an entertainment-driven experiment, it demonstrates projectile behavior and penetration capabilities under specific test conditions.
This video introduces the new Benelli Ethos SuperSport Performance Shop for 2024, highlighting its revolutionary Advanced Impact Barrel technology. This new barrel system, featuring a unique internal contour and choke, significantly increases muzzle velocity and energy at various distances compared to standard 12-gauge shotguns, leading to improved performance in sporting clays and greater penetration. The Performance Shop models also include other standard Ethos features.
This video provides an expert comparison between the .17 HMR and .22 Magnum calibers, featuring Naaming Kotchanok, a recognized firearms reviewer in Thailand. The comparison covers performance at various distances (50m, 100m, 150m, 200m) using pineapple targets and paper, detailing bullet drop, accuracy, and impact energy. The .17 HMR demonstrates a flatter trajectory and higher velocity, while the .22 Magnum offers more impact energy and significantly lower ammunition costs, making it the recommended choice for most users in Thailand due to its cost-effectiveness and availability.
This video tests the lethality of a Jolly Rancher fired from a shotgun, comparing its performance to a standard slug. The experiment involves shooting a Jolly Rancher at paper targets for accuracy, water bottles for energy transfer, and a shrapnel vest for lethality assessment. The results indicate that a Jolly Rancher, due to its hardness, can penetrate a shrapnel vest, demonstrating a surprising level of lethality.
This YouTube Shorts video from Predator Armor showcases their Non-Ballistic Trauma Pads. The description emphasizes their function in protecting against injuries caused by back face deformation by dissipating impact energy and reducing transmitted force. The pads are designed to be comfortable when worn with body armor, utilizing high-density, flexible materials to absorb impact and reduce blunt force trauma. A link to the full video and the product on their website is provided.
This video from Kentucky Ballistics explores the unique application of shot shells in a .500 S&W Magnum revolver, specifically the Smith & Wesson Model 500. Expertly demonstrating safe firearm handling and ballistic analysis, the host tests these specialized rounds on various targets at different ranges. The content highlights surprising close-range effectiveness and destructive power, while also addressing potential reliability issues during rapid fire, offering valuable insights for firearms enthusiasts.
