This video tests 12-gauge rock salt shells for self-defense effectiveness. At 5 yards, the spread was massive and effective, penetrating the target. At 10 yards, the spread was full-body but still impactful. However, at 25 yards, the spread was too great, with no visible impact on the target. The legality of using such ammunition for self-defense is noted as highly questionable.

This video tests the effectiveness of 12-gauge rock salt shotgun shells against ballistic gelatin. The experiment, conducted by 704 Tactical in collaboration with Fire Quest and American Pawn and Gun, demonstrates that while rock salt can penetrate the skin and cause burning, it lacks the depth of penetration to be considered life-threatening or effective for personal defense. The instructor advises against using specialty ammunition for self-defense.
