This video demonstrates the significant advantage of a shotgun over a handgun for home defense, particularly at close range. Using a high-speed camera, it visually compares the impact of a 9mm hollow point bullet against a double-aught buckshot shell fired into a watermelon. The buckshot, containing nine 8mm pellets, shows a dramatically more destructive effect.
This video tests the effectiveness of 37mm Skittles grenades as a less-lethal riot control option. Initial tests showed insufficient spread and energy. After professional adjustments, the grenades demonstrated significant spread, capable of covering a crowd, and left dents on a table but did not penetrate ballistic gelatin heads, indicating a potential for less-lethal application.
This video tests the efficacy of microscopic rubber ducks as 37mm riot control rounds. The experiment involved firing the ducks from a TAC 79 grenade launcher to assess projectile spread, impact energy on water, and effect on ballistic gelatin "rioters." While the ducks achieved a wide spread suitable for crowd dispersal, they lacked the energy to significantly affect the targets.
This video explores the effectiveness of 'chain shot' shotgun ammunition, a historically inspired projectile. The presenter tests three variations (fine, medium, and heavy chain) against various targets, including pineapples and ballistic gelatin, to assess their spread, impact energy, and potential lethality. The findings suggest that while chain shot can cause significant surface damage and wound channels, its penetration and overall effectiveness vary considerably with chain thickness and projectile design.
This YouTube video, titled "Human Face Vs 460 Pellets (Deadly?!)", uses the #gun and #pewpew hashtags, indicating a focus on firearms. The title strongly suggests a demonstration or comparison related to projectile impact, possibly a ballistic gel test or a thought experiment exploring the effects of 460 pellets. The inclusion of "Deadly?!" points towards an emphasis on the terminal ballistics and potential lethality of this type of projectile spread. Given the nature of the content, it likely involves a firearm that shoots multiple projectiles, such as a shotgun, and ammunition designed for a wide spread. The video aims to create intrigue and draw viewers interested in the power and effects of firearms.
This video from the Institute of Shotgunology explores the effectiveness of Mentos when fired from a shotgun. It details a standardized testing procedure involving paper targets for spread and accuracy, water tests for energy, and a shrapnel vest for lethality assessment. The results indicate significant spread and energy transfer, with the Mentos impacting the vest.
This YouTube Shorts video titled '"DOOM" Round Spread Test #shorts' likely demonstrates the spread pattern of rounds fired, possibly from a shotgun, as suggested by the "DOOM" reference which often implies a wide spread of projectiles in popular culture, and the term "Round Spread Test". The content focuses on the practical application of firearm performance by showcasing how ammunition disperses, which is valuable for understanding the effectiveness of certain firearms in various scenarios. Given the focus on projectile spread, it's likely aimed at firearm enthusiasts interested in the ballistics and performance of their weapons.
