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 from Civilian Tactical provides an expert-level comparison of subsonic versus supersonic .22LR ammunition lethality. Using Clear Ballistics gelatin and simulating FBI testing standards with denim, the host demonstrates that heavy subsonic .22LR rounds can achieve greater penetration than their supersonic counterparts, challenging common assumptions about terminal performance. The experiment highlights the importance of bullet design and weight in terminal ballistics.

This video from Banana Ballistics provides an expert-level comparison of a modern .50 caliber muzzleloader against a .500 S&W Magnum rifle, testing their penetration and lethality across various mediums. The host, demonstrating high authority in ballistics, concludes that while muzzleloaders are potent, they do not surpass the performance of high-powered magnum rifles in these destructive tests.

This video investigates the lethal capabilities of the .22LR caliber, specifically at point-blank range. The content creator uses a ballistic dummy head and a .22 pistol to conduct a test and demonstrate the results. The description also includes links for viewer support via Patreon and PayPal, along with social media links to the creator's Instagram.

This video tests the "Twister" shotgun slug, examining its performance in water jug penetration, accuracy on paper, and lethality in ballistics gelatin. The slug features three lead pedals designed to open on impact, creating significant cavitation and expansion. The testing suggests the Twister slug is effective for its intended purpose.

This video tests the lethality and energy transfer of shotgun shells loaded with LEGO projectiles. The experiment involved firing LEGOs into ballistic gelatin and observing the impact on a water jug. The results suggest that while LEGO projectiles can cause significant pain and damage, they are unlikely to be lethal due to their inability to penetrate the ballistic gelatin.

This video from Civilian Tactical tests the lethality of DIY rock salt shotgun shells. The host, a firearms enthusiast, demonstrates how to construct these shells using Federal 12-gauge casings and rock salt. Using a raw chicken as a tissue analog, the test reveals that rock salt shells are surprisingly lethal at close range, causing significant tissue damage and debunking the myth of their non-lethal nature. The video emphasizes safe firearm handling and the importance of understanding ammunition capabilities.

This expert guide details a comprehensive test of Tannerite's lethal distance, conducted by experienced individuals using professional equipment. The experiment involved detonating 5 lbs of Tannerite at varying distances from a ballistic dummy using a Cobalt Kinetics rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO with 77-grain Sierra MatchKing rounds. The results demonstrate that Tannerite, while an explosive target, poses significant risks at close range, with point-blank detonations being non-survivable. The guide emphasizes safety protocols and the importance of understanding blast effects.

This video tests the lethality of firing a rope from a shotgun. The tests, including a paper target for dispersion, water for energy transfer, and a "shrapnel vest" for lethality, indicate that a rope shot from a shotgun is not lethal. The speaker concludes it would be safe to use on a friend, emphasizing this is a joke and rope shots are not deadly.

This video demonstrates the extreme power of the AEA Zeus .72 caliber air rifle at point-blank range using a ballistic dummy head. The test highlights the significant damage potential of large-caliber airguns, comparing its recoil to a 12-gauge shotgun and showcasing the destructive force of a 1082-grain projectile.

This video provides an experimental test of a 12-gauge Orion Flare Gun's potential lethality. While demonstrating its use with a human head model (skull and watermelons), the presenter highlights significant issues with accuracy and unpredictable projectile trajectory. The test reveals the flare can cause damage but emphasizes its unreliability as a precise tool.

This video tests the lethality and effectiveness of firing rope from a shotgun. The experiment involved accuracy, energy transfer, and shrapnel vest tests. The results indicated that rope fired from a shotgun is not deadly and lacks significant energy transfer or penetration capabilities.
