This video from Tática Civil tests the lethality of a unique shotgun shell loaded with three bouncy balls, branded by Hickory Flat Boars. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in ballistic testing, evaluates the shell's performance through water jug, paper target, and ballistic dummy head tests. The results indicate extreme devastation, with the projectiles shredding targets and causing significant damage to the ballistic dummy, leading to a strong warning against being hit by this ammunition.

This in-depth ballistic gel test evaluates Underwood's 9mm +P 115 Grain Sporting JHP ammunition fired from a Canik Mete MC9 (3.1" barrel) and an FN 509 (4.5" barrel). The test meticulously records muzzle velocities, penetration depths, projectile expansion, and weight retention, providing valuable data for self-defense ammunition selection. The expert analysis highlights the ammunition's excellent performance, particularly its massive expansion and near 100% weight retention, while also discussing penetration nuances.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics tests Byrna Kinetic less-lethal 12 Gauge shotgun rounds. The rounds, resembling small torpedoes, were fired at a watermelon and a five-gallon water jug. The assessment focused on the impact and potential for injury, concluding the rounds would sting but not puncture skin.

This review by Boondock Ballistician critically examines the G2 Research R.I.P. round, often dismissed as a gimmick. Through rigorous testing with ballistic gel and a Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC), the analysis reveals surprising barrier-blind performance and fragmentation potential, challenging common perceptions. The speaker, demonstrating high-level expertise, suggests design improvements for future iterations of this concept.

This video demonstrates a DIY method for creating 'wax slugs' by coating birdshot pellets in wax and reloading them into a shotgun shell. A destructive test comparing a standard birdshot round against a wax slug fired into cinder blocks shows the wax slug's significantly higher destructive potential due to concentrated energy transfer. The demonstration is presented by Tática Civil, highlighting the effectiveness of this homemade projectile.

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.

This video explores the potential lethality of a bullet constructed from JB Weld, a common epoxy. While the exact firearms or calibers involved are not detailed in the provided information, the title suggests a DIY approach to ammunition creation and an examination of its ballistic properties and potential effectiveness. The content likely delves into the material science of JB Weld and its performance when fired from a projectile launcher.

This video details a ballistic gel test of custom .410 handloads, featuring 10mm projectiles loaded backwards, a pellet slug, and double balls. Expert analysis from Buckeye Ballistics highlights significant improvements in penetration and wound cavity creation compared to standard .410 loads, suggesting viability for medium game hunting.

This video features a comparison between ballistic gel and content from the YouTube channel @CivilianTactical. Based on the title, the video likely involves testing the performance of firearms or ammunition in ballistic gel, possibly comparing different setups or calibers provided or demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. The content's primary focus is on projectile performance and terminal ballistics.

This video title "Testando Calibres de Pistola Contra Porta de Carro!" indicates a test comparing different pistol calibers against a car door. The content likely involves live-fire demonstrations to observe the penetration or effect of various handgun rounds on automotive metal. Viewers can expect to see which calibers are more effective in this scenario, offering insights into projectile performance against a common barrier.

This YouTube video focuses on testing commercial .410 bore slugs using a water drop test. While the specific firearm is not detailed in the provided information, the emphasis is on the ammunition's performance and terminal ballistics in a ballistic medium. The video aims to evaluate how these slugs perform upon impact.

This video title, "Água Salgada Vs Munição: Qual é mais potente?" (Saltwater Vs Ammunition: Which is more powerful?), directly implies a comparison of the effects of saltwater against ammunition. While the specific firearms or calibers are not mentioned, the core of the comparison likely involves the impact of saltwater on projectile performance or firearm function. This suggests a range test or destructive testing scenario to determine how saltwater affects ammunition's power or a firearm's operation. The content aims to answer a specific question about the interaction between ammunition and a natural element.
