This video explores the composition of 'Dragon's Breath' shotgun rounds, demonstrating that they are not simply compacted magnesium mesh. The presenter tests improvised versions using Silex, steel wool, and magnesium shavings. While magnesium shavings produced a bright flash, none of the improvised rounds replicated the true Dragon's Breath effect, with steel wool coming closest to a spark shower.
This guide details the construction and testing of a DIY 'Dragon's Breath' style shotgun shell using magnesium shavings and birdshot. The process involves carefully layering the components within a 12-gauge casing to achieve an incendiary effect upon firing. Live fire tests are conducted to evaluate both the pyrotechnic display and projectile accuracy, with an analysis of the results provided. The creator emphasizes safety precautions throughout the process.
