This expert-level review from Kentucky Ballistics delves into the rare Russian KS-23 4-gauge shotgun. Scott provides detailed historical context, discusses its unique development from aircraft barrels, and showcases its impressive capabilities through live-fire testing. The review highlights its original intended use for riot control with less-lethal rounds, its breaching potential with slugs, and the extreme terminal performance of its heavy projectiles.

This video demonstrates the extreme power of a punt gun by firing a 1lb lead ball into a 5,000-gallon pool. The experiment showcases the projectile's destructive force, causing a massive explosion of water and completely destroying the pool structure. Slow-motion analysis provides a detailed view of the impact and the resulting cavitation.

This video showcases the 'Blubber Buster,' a custom 2-bore whaling cannon firing a 4lb harpoon with 6,600 ft-lbs of energy. Tests against a water drum, zombie target, ballistic dummy, and even a limousine demonstrate its immense power and penetration capabilities. The cannon features a sophisticated recoil dampening system to manage its significant force.

This video showcases an experimental bowling ball cannon firing a standard bowling ball at pressurized gas tanks. The second shot successfully hits a valve, causing the tank to rapidly depressurize and launch like a rocket across a snowy field. The demonstration highlights the potential dangers and unpredictable results of such experiments, with a close call for the crew.

This video demonstrates the loading and firing of a massive wall gun, highlighting its historical use and the significant physical effort required. It showcases the impressive visual effects of black powder ignition, including smoke and recoil, and explores a two-person firing technique for heavy historical firearms.
