This video demonstrates the performance of Byrna Kinetic less-lethal 12 gauge shotgun rounds. The host tests these rounds on a watermelon and a five-gallon water jug, observing the impact and damage. The rounds are described as torpedo-shaped and are assessed for their potential to cause injury, with the conclusion that they would sting but not puncture skin.

This video explores the capability of a 12 gauge perimeter alarm to fire live shotgun rounds. The experiment involves modifying a blank-firing perimeter alarm to accept a 12 gauge slug. Initial tests with a powderless slug show a loud report similar to a blank, with the shell warping significantly. Firing a single 12 gauge slug results in ejection with low force and the plastic casing splitting open, but insufficient energy to cause significant damage.

This video tests three novel less-lethal shotgun rounds: 'Florida Man' (pink flamingos), 'Disco Ducks' (disco balls and rubber ducks), and 'Rubber Bucky' (rubber ducks). Testing in ballistics gelatin reveals significant penetration issues with the 'Florida Man' rounds, while 'Disco Ducks' showed no penetration, indicating true less-lethal performance. 'Rubber Bucky' experienced melting and significant pellet embedding. The instructor recommends 'Disco Ducks' as the most viable less-lethal option among the three tested.

This segment focuses on extending personal protection with abdominal armor and discusses the utility of a tactical tool for breaching or manipulation. It also touches upon the integration of a hydration pouch into a plate carrier setup, emphasizing its use during extended operations.

This guide details the testing methodology for various exotic shotgun rounds, including exploding slugs, bolo rounds, flechettes, and armor-piercing ammunition. Expert analysis from Mike Jones, using high-speed cameras and ballistics gel, reveals that most exotic rounds are ineffective gimmicks, recommending standard buckshot and slugs for practical use.

This video tests the effectiveness of three less lethal shotgun rounds against watermelons. The Fire Ants (rubber buckshot) penetrated halfway, the Javelin rounds split the watermelon in half, and the Iron Fist (iron pellets) disintegrated the watermelon, indicating significant impact potential for all three.

This guide details the testing of Firequest Iron Fist shotgun rounds, a less-lethal 12-gauge option. The video demonstrates accuracy and impact tests on various targets, highlighting the round's ability to deliver significant kinetic energy without penetration. Instruction comes from an expert with high authority, emphasizing controlled testing and range safety.

This video, presented by a defensive shooting instructor, highlights the critical importance of selecting the correct ammunition for versatile firearms like the .410 revolver. It explains how traditional shotgun rounds perform poorly in rifled barrels due to pellet dispersion, creating a large hole in the pattern's center. Winchester's 410 Defender Round, featuring Defense Discs, is presented as a specialized solution designed to maintain accuracy by engaging the rifling, thus providing a more effective defensive projectile.
