This video demonstrates the creation and testing of DIY less-lethal ammunition using a 37mm grenade launcher, reloader, and hardwood spheres. The tests show that the projectiles create a significant smoke cloud, cause damage to a water jug without penetration, and ricochet off ballistic gel heads, indicating reduced lethality and effectiveness for riot control applications. The presenter highlights the importance of proper projectile dispersion and impact energy for less-lethal rounds.

This video demonstrates a test of 37mm skittle grenades as less-lethal ammunition for crowd control. Initial tests showed insufficient energy, but adjustments led to effective dispersion and impact. The projectiles were assessed for their ability to deter without causing lethal injury, with impacts on ballistic gel and a water jug analyzed.

This video tests the performance of ceramic sphere shotgun shells against various targets, including a milk jug and ballistic gelatin. The demonstration reveals that while the recoil was light and cycling was problematic, the ceramic spheres exhibited significant dispersion and penetration comparable to lead shot, suggesting potential for painful or lethal effects in certain scenarios. The presenter notes the rapid spread of these projectiles.
