This video from Civilian Tactical explores the ballistic performance of a unique shotgun shell loaded with bouncy balls. The instructor, demonstrating experienced authority, conducts tests on water jugs, paper targets, and ballistic gelatin to assess penetration, spread, and energy transfer. The findings suggest this ammunition is capable of causing significant damage, with a warning issued against being hit by it.

This guide details the process of creating custom exploding slugs, as demonstrated by an experienced firearms instructor. It involves using 'Lucky 7 Air Ammo' slugs as a base and carefully filling them with explosive material salvaged from '.22 cal Edgun West exploding pellets'. The process emphasizes meticulous handling and securing the material with super glue. The instructor highlights successful test firings using an 'AEA Zeus .50 cal airgun', showcasing the projectile's explosive effect.

This guide details a test of a 30cm soda can launcher attached to an AR-style receiver, using 350ml Mountain Dew cans as projectiles fired with blanks. The test involved aiming at a ballistic gel head and analyzing the impact, noting significant damage and target displacement. The recoil was compared to a 12 gauge shotgun, and manual cycling was required due to insufficient pressure from blanks.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the effectiveness of a double slug shell, featuring two stacked lead slugs in a single 12-gauge cartridge. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, conducts tests using ballistics gel and water targets to assess lethality and energy transfer, recovering a completely flattened slug. Accuracy is evaluated at 35 yards, showing a relatively tight grouping for a multi-projectile load. The testing methodology includes proper range safety and clear explanations of ballistics principles.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of a 13mm socket fired from a shotgun. The projectile was tested for accuracy and penetration in ballistic gelatin. The results indicate the socket is surprisingly effective, creating a significant wound channel and exiting the target.

This review of the AEA Zeus Mark II .72 caliber bullpup air rifle highlights its exceptional power, exceeding 1,500 ft-lbs of energy, making it comparable to many firearms. The host, from 1ShotTV, demonstrates its performance with heavy projectiles and discusses its legal advantages, such as not requiring a background check in many areas. The rifle features a bullpup design for compactness and a powerful muzzle brake.

This guide details the process of loading and testing the experimental 17-5.56 KAK wildcat cartridge, aiming for record-breaking velocities. It covers cartridge preparation, projectile selection, and comprehensive testing including steel penetration and ballistic gel performance. The content highlights the expertise of Banana Ballistics in experimental ammunition development and high-velocity testing.

This video tests the effectiveness and safety of wax projectiles, specifically a traditional wax bullet and a tape-wrapped lead projectile. The tests reveal that the wax projectile broke apart upon impact with a bucket, indicating it is not lethal or effective for penetration. The tape-wrapped projectile also showed signs of disintegration. The experiment highlights the limitations of these types of projectiles for any practical application.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of 12-gauge buckshot rounds fired at a toilet seat. The test reveals that a standard toilet seat is not sufficient to stop buckshot, with projectiles passing through both the lid and the seat rim. The instructor advises against using toilet seats for projectile stopping purposes.

This video provides an in-depth review and testing of the Grimburg TYR Less Lethal Launcher, featuring guest Houston Jones. The review highlights its exceptional power, confirmed by chronograph readings and extensive ballistic gel testing, which demonstrated significant penetration and damage capabilities for a less-lethal device. The testing was conducted by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, an established personality in firearms and ballistics testing.

This video explores the question of whether a knitting needle can be a deadly projectile. Through practical testing, the content aims to demonstrate the potential lethality or ineffectiveness of such an object fired from a firearm. The analysis likely involves a firearms context to assess penetration and impact, making it relevant to those interested in ballistics and unconventional projectile testing.

This video explores a unique and unconventional concept: firing gummy bears from a firearm to see if it's possible or effective. The title suggests an experimental approach to testing the efficacy of this unusual projectile. The content likely involves a practical demonstration, showcasing the process and the results of shooting gummy bears, potentially comparing it to traditional ammunition or simply investigating the phenomenon.
