This video from Civilian Tactical humorously tests the lethality of custom 'blue stuff' (rock candy) shotgun shells, referencing Walter White. The experiment, conducted by a firearms enthusiast, involved testing spread on paper, impact on a water jug, and penetration on a shrapnel vest, concluding the ammunition is non-penetrating and thus not deadly. The content also includes a brief promotion for the Sonoran Desert Institute's gunsmithing programs.
This guide details the experimental testing of 'Wrench Shot' shells, a novel ammunition type featuring small steel wrenches as projectiles. The Civilian Tactical host demonstrates a structured approach to evaluating accuracy, energy transfer, and penetration capabilities against various targets, including a shrapnel vest and metal door. The testing highlights the unique destructive potential of this ammunition, with the wrench leaving a distinct mark and penetrating multiple barriers.
This video tests the lethality of Lego pieces fired from a shotgun. The experiment involved loading Lego figures into a shotgun and firing them at a paper target for accuracy, distilled water for energy, and a Bullet Safe shrapnel vest for penetration. The results indicated that even small Lego fragments can penetrate body armor, suggesting a potential, albeit unconventional, threat.
This video demonstrates the experimental use of emergency radio antennas as projectiles in 12-gauge shotgun shells. The Civilian Tactical host showcases the loading process and tests their effectiveness against various targets, including a shrapnel vest, providing insights into their terminal ballistics and potential as unconventional ammunition. The testing highlights safe firearm handling and a methodical approach to evaluating novel projectile designs.
This video demonstrates a controlled experiment testing the effectiveness of knives fired from a 12 Gauge shotgun. Utilizing a remote trigger and a Lead Sled for safety and stability on an outdoor snowy range, the test assesses projectile penetration against a shrapnel vest. The speaker, identified as a content creator and firearms enthusiast from Civilian Tactical, concludes the test by seeking viewer input on potential reasons for the knife's failure to penetrate the vest.
This video demonstrates a lethality test involving .22LR casings loaded into a shotgun shell. The test aims to assess the penetration and energy of this improvised ammunition against a shrapnel vest. The results indicate that .22LR casings fired from a shotgun can be deadly, with one casing embedding itself in the vest.
This video tests the lethality of bamboo skewers fired from a shotgun. While accuracy is noted as poor, the skewers demonstrate significant penetration and wound potential, even splitting upon impact to create more damage. The test utilizes water bottles for energy demonstration and a shrapnel vest for lethality assessment.
This video tests the 'unstoppable' claim of Downy Unstoppable ammunition by firing it at various targets, including a shrapnel vest. The results indicate that the ammunition disintegrates upon impact with water bottles and fails to penetrate the shrapnel vest, suggesting it is not 'unstoppable' or particularly deadly.
This video tests the lethality of matches fired from a shotgun. While the matches did not ignite upon impact, they were found to be embedded in a shrapnel vest, indicating they did not pass through. The test suggests matches fired from a shotgun are not deadly in terms of penetration.
This video details an experiment by Civilian Tactical to test the lethality of custom-loaded 12-gauge shotgun shells using silica gel beads as a projectile. A budget pump-action shotgun, stored in a Tracker Safe, was used to fire these shells at various targets, including water bottles and a shrapnel vest. The results indicated that the silica gel birdshot was non-lethal, failing to significantly penetrate the targets.
This video from Civilian Tactical explores the surprising lethality of a custom-made 12-gauge shotgun shell loaded with toothbrush handles as projectiles. The host, an experienced firearms content creator, conducts a structured test on an outdoor range, evaluating accuracy, energy transfer, and penetration against a shrapnel vest. The results indicate that these unconventional projectiles can achieve full pass-through on protective gear, highlighting potential effectiveness in certain scenarios.
This guide details a test methodology for custom 'Penny Shot' ammunition fired from a G-Force Arms AR-12 shotgun. The test involves assessing energy transfer, accuracy, spread, and penetration capabilities against ballistic armor. The host demonstrates a structured approach to evaluating experimental ammunition, highlighting the importance of safety gear and a controlled testing environment.
