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 details an experiment by Civilian Tactical to test the lethality of custom-loaded 12-gauge shotgun shells using silica gel beads as a projectile. A budget pump-action shotgun, stored in a Tracker Safe, was used to fire these shells at various targets, including water bottles and a shrapnel vest. The results indicated that the silica gel birdshot was non-lethal, failing to significantly penetrate the targets.

This Gun Talk Radio episode discusses the controversial idea of police switching from traditional ammunition to rubber bullets. Host Tom Gresham engages with a caller on the topic, exploring the potential benefits and significant flaws of adopting non-lethal ammunition for law enforcement. The discussion delves into the reasoning behind why such a switch might be considered flawed, with Gresham providing in-depth analysis.

This video provides an expert review of Firequest .410 Rubber Buckshot, tested using a Taurus Public Defender revolver. The demonstration includes a pattern test at 5-7 yards, showing a surprisingly tight group, and an impact test on a soda jug, illustrating significant kinetic energy transfer. The speaker, an experienced reviewer, highlights the projectile's rubber-plastic hybrid composition and its effectiveness in bursting the target.

This video showcases a Force on Force defensive scenarios training class led by Navy SEAL Mark "Coch" Cochiolo. The training utilizes real firearms converted to fire non-lethal ammunition to simulate deadly encounters, providing valuable, pain-based feedback for students. The class is part of Tactical Hyve's ongoing offerings for 2021, with future Force on Force classes planned. The video emphasizes the importance of in-person training with qualified professionals for safe and effective learning. It also promotes Tactical Hyve's website and social media channels.

This video from Tactical Hyve explores various force-on-force training options and non-lethal ammunition, featuring insights from Simunition, UTM, and Force on Force. It highlights conversion kits for real firearms, different types of marking and non-marking rounds, and essential protective gear. The discussion covers technical differences between brands regarding powder usage, projectile design, and safety features like standoff distances and velocity.

This video provides a behind-the-scenes look at the 2018 Concealed Carry Expo, highlighting innovative gear and training tools. Key takeaways include the Wilderness Tactical ankle first-aid kit for immediate access, Kinetic Concealment's comfortable neoprene-backed hybrid holsters, and Barrel Block/Mag Block systems for safe dry-fire practice. It also showcases the Sig Sauer P365 and Ultimate Training Munitions (UTM) for realistic, non-lethal training.
