This video from Kentucky Ballistics explores the effectiveness of pennies as improvised projectiles for self-defense. The host, Scott, tests various methods, from throwing and punching with pennies to firing them from specialized firearms like a 10-gauge shotgun and a 2-bore blunderbuss. The experiments reveal that while simple methods have limited impact, pennies fired from large-bore shotguns can be surprisingly destructive.

This video debunks the movie myth of rock salt ammunition, specifically referencing a James Bond scene. While rock salt doesn't have the kinetic energy to propel a person backward, the intense pain and stun effect can cause a significant reaction, making the movie depiction partially accurate in its psychological and physiological impact.

This video from Civilian Tactical, featuring content similar to Demolition Ranch, tests the effectiveness and accuracy of improvised wax and tape slugs fired from a 12 Gauge shotgun.
