Videos tagged with Projectile Dispersion

This video tests the effectiveness of small rubber ducks as 37mm crowd control munitions. While they demonstrated good dispersion and speed, their light weight resulted in minimal energy transfer, failing to significantly impact ballistic gelatin or water jugs. The test suggests these 'munitions' are ineffective for riot control.

This video tests shotgun shells loaded with ceramic spheres, comparing their performance to traditional lead shot. The demonstration includes shooting a milk jug for energy transfer and ballistic gelatin for penetration and lethality. The results suggest ceramic spheres disperse rapidly but exhibit similar penetration depth to lead, with potential implications for reduced lethality in some scenarios.

This video tests the lethality and effectiveness of marbles as shotgun projectiles. The experiment evaluates projectile energy, accuracy, and penetration against homemade armor. Results indicate marbles can penetrate wood and are considered lethal under certain conditions, though accuracy and dispersion are also assessed.

This video tests the lethality of steel washers as projectiles. The assessment includes energy transfer into a water jug, projectile dispersion, accuracy on a paper target, and penetration of homemade body armor. The results indicate that steel washers can be lethal, capable of penetrating certain types of armor.

This video tests the lethality and dispersion of 'chain shot' ammunition. Two types, large and small, were evaluated by observing their effect on a water jug for energy transfer, a paper target for spread, and a homemade body armor sample for penetration. The results indicate chain shot is less lethal than a .22 caliber round but still causes significant fragmentation and spread.
