This video explores the terminal ballistics of firing a .357 Magnum round from a 12-gauge shotgun using a sabot. The experiment demonstrates significant energy transfer and projectile expansion, with the sabot itself fragmenting and contributing to the wound cavity. The results indicate a surprisingly effective, albeit unconventional, application of this ammunition type in a shotgun platform.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the rare Remington .30-06 Accelerator round, featuring a .22 caliber projectile within a sabot. The host, demonstrating high practical ballistics knowledge, conducts chronograph testing, achieving velocities over 3800 fps, and terminal effect tests on meat and bone, showcasing rapid fragmentation and energy transfer. The assessment concludes the round's unique ballistics align with specific anecdotal reports but deem it unlikely for the hypothetical assassination scenario due to its rarity and accuracy limitations.

This video discusses the ATF's open letter regarding Franklin Armory's Antithesis firearm. It details the legal battle and settlement that classified the original .45 Long Colt/.410 variant as a 'firearm' but not a rifle or SBR. The ATF's current stance is that the 5.56 variant, despite the potential for multi-projectile ammunition, is still considered an SBR due to its design and barrel length, contrasting with the court's previous ruling.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of the penetration capabilities of the .50 Cal SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Penetrator) Tracer round against the Hornady 750gr A-MAX. The host, demonstrating high authority and technical expertise, uses a Desert Tech HTI rifle and a chronograph to test various thicknesses of mild steel. Key takeaways include the surprising effectiveness of the A-MAX against thinner steel and the unexpected stopping power of 1.5" mild steel against the SLAP round at 50 yards, despite its armor-piercing design. Safety precautions, including sabot strike prevention, are emphasized.

This guide details an experimental test of .50 caliber SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Penetrator) rounds against AR500 steel, as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. The experiment highlights the projectile's tungsten core and plastic sabot, its penetration capabilities, and the performance of specialized rounds like the Raufoss Mk 211. The testing emphasizes safety protocols for high-power firearms and ammunition, including remote firing techniques.
