Videos tagged with Shotgun Ammunition Testing

This video tests three exotic shotgun ammunition types for their explosive impact. The Hickory Flatboards Bear Claw, loaded with 15 .227 caliber projectiles, created significant vaporization. The 'Meat Tenderizer' ammunition, a combination of bird shot, buck shot, and a slug, produced an even more violent explosion, completely destroying a water gallon. The 'Extreme Marine' ammunition, also a multi-component load, was effective but less so than the Meat Tenderizer.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of shotgun effectiveness, particularly for home defense, by demonstrating the ballistic behavior of various ammunition types (birdshot, buckshot, slugs) at different distances (10 and 20 yards) using a cylinder bore shotgun. It highlights the significant impact of ammunition choice and distance on shot patterns and terminal ballistics, debunking the myth that shotguns require no aiming. The instructor emphasizes the importance of understanding shotgun limitations, such as recoil and ammunition capacity, and advocates for informed selection over common misconceptions.

This video provides an in-depth review and testing of the S.O.B. (Save Our Butts) 12-gauge shotgun slug from Holy S Ranch. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, evaluates its performance through live-fire tests on steel and ballistic gel, chronograph readings, and comparisons to standard slugs. Key findings include its unique all-brass construction, low recoil, impressive terminal performance in gel, but also concerns about consistency and price.
