This video explores the terminal ballistics of firing a .357 Magnum round from a 12-gauge shotgun using a sabot. The experiment demonstrates significant energy transfer and projectile expansion, with the sabot itself fragmenting and contributing to the wound cavity. The results indicate a surprisingly effective, albeit unconventional, application of this ammunition type in a shotgun platform.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of a 13mm socket fired from a shotgun. The test involves shooting the socket into ballistic gelatin and paper targets to assess its energy transfer, penetration, and accuracy. The results indicate that the 13mm socket is lethal and surprisingly accurate when fired from a shotgun.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of a 9mm Luger round through multiple 2-liter soda bottles. The experiment shows that a single 9mm projectile can easily penetrate several bottles, with significant energy transfer observed even when the projectile doesn't fully exit the final container. The findings suggest that relying solely on a limited number of soda bottles for ballistic protection is insufficient.
