This video demonstrates a dangerous but potentially life-saving technique for emergency signaling using a 12-gauge shotgun shell in a plastic flare gun. The speaker, exhibiting intermediate authority, explains the severe risks of firing a standard shell due to barrel fitment and pressure issues. A safe method involves removing shot, wad, and powder, leaving only the primer to create a loud sound signal without destroying the flare gun.

This video explores the lethality of firing a flathead screwdriver from a 12 Gauge shotgun shell. The experiment, conducted by Civilian Tactical, demonstrates a critical ballistic failure where the screwdriver punctures the shotgun wad, preventing proper projectile launch. The test highlights the importance of proper projectile design and sabot systems for effective shotgun ballistics, concluding with standard ammunition tests.
