Videos tagged with Less Lethal Ammunition

This video explores three unusual types of shotgun ammunition. It showcases a 12-gauge shell filled with actual horse manure, a 'rubber bucky' load containing plastic, airsoft BBs, and rubber ducks for less lethal applications, and a load that fires bouncing balls. The presenter tests the effectiveness of the bouncing ball load against a 2-liter bottle.

This video provides an expert-level overview of various 12-gauge shotgun ammunition types, demonstrating their characteristics and effects, particularly when fired from a suppressed Mossberg 590. The instructor, with clear expertise, explains the differences in recoil, stopping power, and projectile types, ranging from standard buckshot and slugs to exotic and less-lethal loads. It's a practical guide for understanding ammunition diversity in a hypothetical survival scenario.

This video explores the feasibility of creating DIY riot control rounds using 37mm grenades, a professional reloader, and hardwood wooden spheres. The demonstration includes tests on paper targets, water jugs, and ballistic gelatin to assess spread, penetration, and damage. The results suggest that these homemade rounds can be effective for less-lethal applications.

This video tests the effectiveness of 37mm Skittles-filled grenades as less lethal ammunition for crowd control. Initial tests showed insufficient energy, but adjustments to the reloader resulted in a more effective dispersion pattern. While the Skittles did not penetrate water jugs or ballistic gelatin, they caused significant impact and sugar residue on a target, indicating a less lethal, but impactful, crowd dispersal capability.

This video tests the impact energy and penetration capabilities of bean bag rounds, a type of less-lethal shotgun ammunition. Through tests involving a water jug, peanut butter, and ballistic gelatin, the video demonstrates that while these rounds are unlikely to be fatal, they possess sufficient force to incapacitate or deter a target. The presenter notes the importance of understanding the energy transfer of such munitions.

This video provides an expert-level assessment of 12-gauge less-lethal bean bag rounds, demonstrating their impact and energy transfer through various tests. The Civilian Tactical host, exhibiting high authority and expertise, uses a Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun to test the rounds against a water jug, peanut butter jar, and ballistics gelatin. The conclusion highlights their effectiveness as a deterrent without being inherently lethal.

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 three novel less-lethal shotgun rounds: 'Florida Man' (pink flamingos), 'Disco Ducks' (disco balls and rubber ducks), and 'Rubber Bucky' (rubber ducks). Testing in ballistics gelatin reveals significant penetration issues with the 'Florida Man' rounds, while 'Disco Ducks' showed no penetration, indicating true less-lethal performance. 'Rubber Bucky' experienced melting and significant pellet embedding. The instructor recommends 'Disco Ducks' as the most viable less-lethal option among the three tested.

This review of the B&T GL06K micro grenade launcher, presented by an expert with engineering ties to B&T, details its design origins as a less-lethal system for European police. The guide covers its compact form factor, break-action operation, and the specific 40x46mm caliber, highlighting its potential for less-lethal applications and novelty uses like fireworks. The expert emphasizes its reloadable blank cartridge system and the limitations of its aluminum barrel with harder projectiles.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of two types of .22 caliber ammunition for less lethal applications, specifically pest control. The .22 Super Colibri is shown to penetrate approximately 10 cm into ballistic gelatin, while a .22 LR shot capsule is tested for pattern dispersion at a distance suitable for small game or snakes. The presenter highlights the need for manual cycling with the Super Colibri and the effectiveness of the shot capsule for multiple hits on small targets.

This video explores the potential lethality of homemade shotgun shells loaded with LEGO bricks. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating intermediate practical firearms experience, uses a GForce 1 Shotgun and ballistics gelatin to test accuracy and impact. The experiment concludes that while painful, these rounds are 'less lethal' and unlikely to be deadly, highlighting the importance of proper ammunition and testing methods.

This video provides a practical demonstration and comparison of two less-lethal 12-gauge ammunition types: Javelin rubber rounds and Rock Salt rounds. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high expertise, tests their effectiveness on water jugs, highlighting differences in sound and impact. The content is valuable for individuals considering less-lethal options for self-defense.
