This video features an expert firearms instructor from Kentucky Ballistics testing various calibers against a large crystal ball. The instructor demonstrates the escalating power of firearms, from .22 LR handguns up to a massive 4 Bore rifle, showcasing the destructive potential of extreme ballistic energy and heavy projectiles. The test provides a unique visual of how different calibers interact with dense materials.

This video provides an expert-level review and ballistic test of the Premier Body Armor 'Everyday Armor' T-shirt, featuring the thin 'Phoenix' Level IIIA panel. The host, demonstrating high authority and a systematic testing methodology, evaluates the armor's performance against a wide range of handgun calibers, from .22 LR up to .500 S&W Magnum, as well as 12-gauge shotgun rounds and 5.7x28mm. The testing, conducted in Indiana, highlights the armor's ability to stop threats beyond its NIJ rating, while also noting potential for injury due to impact deformation.

This video tests the bullet resistance of billiard balls against various calibers, including .22, 9mm, 7.62x39, .223, and .308. The .22 and .223 rounds caused minimal damage or dents, while the 9mm round completely destroyed the ball. The .308 round was the most destructive, not only shattering the ball but also knocking over the stand. The test highlights the significant destructive power of common firearm calibers against seemingly robust objects.

This video provides an expert-level assessment of 12-gauge less-lethal bean bag rounds, demonstrating their impact and energy transfer through various tests. The Civilian Tactical host, exhibiting high authority and expertise, uses a Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun to test the rounds against a water jug, peanut butter jar, and ballistics gelatin. The conclusion highlights their effectiveness as a deterrent without being inherently lethal.

This video explores the effectiveness of airsoft shotgun shells loaded with pepper spray when fired from a 12-gauge shotgun. The experiment involves analyzing the pepper spray blast pattern and testing its impact on ballistics gelatin. The results indicate that while less lethal, the projectiles can cause significant pain and superficial injury.

This video tests the lethality and energy transfer of shotgun shells loaded with LEGO projectiles. The experiment involved firing LEGOs into ballistic gelatin and observing the impact on a water jug. The results suggest that while LEGO projectiles can cause significant pain and damage, they are unlikely to be lethal due to their inability to penetrate the ballistic gelatin.

This video from Civilian Tactical tests the lethality of DIY rock salt shotgun shells. The host, a firearms enthusiast, demonstrates how to construct these shells using Federal 12-gauge casings and rock salt. Using a raw chicken as a tissue analog, the test reveals that rock salt shells are surprisingly lethal at close range, causing significant tissue damage and debunking the myth of their non-lethal nature. The video emphasizes safe firearm handling and the importance of understanding ammunition capabilities.

Nikko Ortiz demonstrates the ballistic capabilities of RTS Tactical's Hero Level 3 Concealable Vest and Special Threats Mini Shield. The video showcases rigorous testing against various pistol, shotgun, and rifle calibers, highlighting the gear's performance under extreme stress. Ortiz provides an entertaining yet informative look at the protective limits of modern tactical equipment.

This video demonstrates a practical test of a soft body armor vest's resistance against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR up to a 12-gauge slug. The host, identified as a content creator and firearms enthusiast, shows how the vest stops multiple handgun rounds and even 12-gauge buckshot. While the vest withstands a 12-gauge slug, the impact is significant enough to cause substantial damage and knock the mannequin over.

This video tests the effectiveness of herbal nicotine pouches when fired from a shotgun. The test involves shooting the pouches at a paper target for spread and accuracy, a water jug for energy transfer, and a shrapnel vest to assess lethality. The results indicate the pouches act similarly to bean bag rounds, impacting but not penetrating the vest, suggesting they are not lethal in this context.

This guide details a test conducted by Yee Yee Life to evaluate the effectiveness of ballistic safety glasses against 12 Gauge birdshot at varying distances. The experiment, performed outdoors with a Churchill Pump-Action Shotgun, demonstrates that while glasses can stop birdshot at 35 feet, they fail to provide adequate protection at 15 and 25 feet, with significant penetration observed. The host emphasizes proper firearm handling and the use of protective gear throughout the test.

This video details an experimental test of vintage Baikal 12-gauge shotgun shells with paper hulls, chambered in an Escort pump-action shotgun. The test revealed significant reliability issues, with multiple failures to fire due to light primer strikes. The content serves as an observational demonstration of potential problems with aged ammunition.
