This video demonstrates a test of 'chain shot,' an adaptation of historical pirate ammunition, using a modern shotgun and ballistic gel. Three types of chain (fine, medium, and thick) were loaded into shotgun shells and fired. The results showed minimal penetration for fine chain, moderate penetration for medium chain, and a surprising lack of penetration with the thick chain, which acted more like a paintball. The instructor concludes that chain shot is impractical for modern use.
