This demonstration, led by the Civilian Tactical Host, illustrates the dramatic difference in how a shotgun projectile affects a dry pumpkin versus a water-filled one. By 'Frankensteining' pumpkins with water, the video visually explains the concept of hydrostatic shock and displacement, showing how a solid projectile can cause catastrophic target failure when the target is filled with an incompressible fluid. The host, with high authority, provides an educational and casual explanation of this physics principle in action.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian testing the ballistic performance of several powerful firearms against pumpkins. He demonstrates the penetration capabilities of the Magnum Research Desert Eagle .50 AE, Smith & Wesson Model 500, Winchester Model 94, and Marlin 1895. The expert-level demonstration highlights the significant impact of different calibers and bullet types on soft targets.

Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms content creator, conducts an experimental ballistics test using pumpkins to compare the penetration of 9mm, .380 ACP, and .45 ACP ammunition. The test highlights differences in terminal performance, with the .380 ACP FMJ surprisingly out-penetrating the 9mm and .45 ACP hollow points, attributed to its lack of expansion. The Kriss Vector's unique recoil mitigation system is also showcased.
