This video provides a detailed ASMR-style breakdown of a Shershen 12-gauge rifled sabot slug. It demonstrates careful disassembly using an Opinel knife, revealing the expansive slug, sabot, and flake gunpowder. A burn test of the gunpowder is conducted, showing a burn time of approximately 1.81 seconds for the sample.

This ballistic gel test compares 12 gauge Sabot and Foster slugs. The Foster slug offered a massive energy dump and shorter penetration (14.25 inches) in gel, making it suitable for home defense. The Sabot slug provided deeper penetration (24.75 inches) but showed no expansion in this test, making it better suited for hunting large game requiring deep tissue penetration.

This YouTube video features a "12 Gauge Sabot Slug Shootout" focusing on an accuracy test. The title explicitly mentions "Hornady," "Remington," and "Winchester," indicating these brands' sabot slugs will be compared. The description also links to a "Rifled Slug Shootout" video, suggesting a broader comparison of slug types for 12 gauge shotguns. The video appears to be a direct product comparison and performance evaluation, likely filmed at a shooting range.

This video debunks the myth that rifled shotgun slugs require a rifled barrel. It clarifies that rifled slugs are designed for smoothbore barrels, using helical fins for stability. Conversely, sabot slugs, which are lighter and longer, necessitate a rifled barrel for the sabot to engage the rifling and provide gyroscopic stability.
