This YouTube video presents a countdown of the Top 8 deadliest ammunition types ever conceived. It highlights extreme rounds like Dragon's Breath, the .577 Tyrannosaur for stopping large game, depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, and the controversial RIP bullet designed for fragmentation. Other mentioned munitions include the mythical Californium bullets, Macho Gaucho rounds with spinning cables, and the powerful .50 BMG, capable of long-range vehicle disabling. The video explores the engineering, spectacle, and potential controversy surrounding these potent and often feared ammunitions, appealing to firearms enthusiasts and the curious alike.
This video tests the 'Ball & Chain' shotgun round, specifically the Macho Gaucho from Firequest, against hyper-thin SafeLife body armor. The round consists of two lead balls connected by a wire. While it did not defeat the body armor, it demonstrated significant blunt force trauma potential. The test involved a water jug and a body armor plate as targets.
This #shorts video from 704 Tactical tests the effectiveness of Firequest's 'Macho Gaucho' 12-gauge ball and chain ammunition. Fired into ballistic gelatin, the projectile demonstrated full penetration, exiting the block and severing a small tree before embedding in the ground. The test highlights the unique terminal ballistics of this specialized ammunition.
This video features a "Bolo" type shotgun shell called the "Macho Gaucho" being tested. The "Bolo" is described as a device stuffed into a shotgun shell designed to create two connected wounds via a steel wire. The test is conducted using a Benelli Supernova 12 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun and Clear Ballistics 20% Ballistics Gel 16" NATO Blocks. The creator explains their preference for 20% gel due to its ability to stop projectiles sooner and prevent over-penetration.
