This video explores the effectiveness of using Skittles for riot control, posing the question of whether this method actually works. The title and description do not mention any firearms, calibers, manufacturers, or specific firearm-related topics. The content appears to be an investigation into an unconventional crowd dispersal technique rather than a firearms-related discussion.
This content highlights leadership lessons learned at Ranger School, focusing on the importance of team welfare over personal comfort, exemplified by a story involving Skittles rationing. It underscores the Ranger Creed's principle of 'officers always eat last' and the rigorous evaluation process leaders undergo.
This YouTube video, titled "O Lançador de Skittles 3000," appears to be a creative and likely humorous project that utilizes a projectile launcher, potentially for entertainment or novelty purposes. Based on the title, the content likely involves building or demonstrating a device designed to launch Skittles. While not explicitly a firearm, the concept of a "launcher" suggests a mechanism that could be inspired by or share similarities with projectile launching systems, sparking curiosity among those interested in DIY projects or unconventional mechanisms.
This video showcases the 'Skittle Blaster 3000', an experimental AR-15 modification using a golf ball launcher to fire Skittles as a less-lethal deterrent. Testing on ballistics gel confirmed the candy's inability to penetrate, validating its non-lethal projectile status. The host also demonstrated a safe transition back to live ammunition.
This video humorously contrasts a child's terrified reaction to Chucky with an adult's calm, prepared response. The adult, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, uses a Remington 870 12 Gauge pump-action shotgun to neutralize the 'threat' of the Chucky doll. The content highlights Scott's expertise in firearms handling and safety, presented with a satirical tone.
This video showcases a unique and humorous firearm experiment where Johnny Q fills the M16 rifle's stock compartment with Skittles. It highlights the practical, albeit unconventional, use of the rifle's storage feature for carrying snacks to the range. The content emphasizes the novelty aspect and the convenience of having a readily available treat during shooting sessions.
This video from Kentucky Ballistics explores the surprising lethality of various candies when fired from specialized firearms. Host Scott tests different candies, including Skittles, Nerds, Tic Tacs, and Gummy Bears, using a 4-gauge shotgun and a Can Cannon against a ballistic dummy. The experiment highlights how candy composition and mass can lead to significant impact damage, with hard candies causing cuts and gummy candies forming a slug. The video concludes with a demonstration of the destructive power of a .577 T-Rex rifle.
This video explores the destructive potential of custom 12-gauge shotgun shells loaded with Halloween candy. Tests include Tootsie Rolls impacting a flour bag, Skittles fired as buckshot against a target, and a large lollipop shell against a mannequin. The results show significant fragmentation and dispersal, with varying degrees of penetration and surface damage.
This video details an experiment launching 30 pounds of Skittles from a custom bowling ball cannon. The initial test aimed to penetrate 1.5-inch bulletproof glass, which shattered but held. A second test launched the Skittles into the air, creating a 'candy rain' effect over a cornfield. The content highlights creative, large-scale projectile experiments.
This experiment tests the ballistic capabilities of 50 pounds of Skittles as a projectile backstop. A 9mm round from an FN 509 penetrated about 6-7 inches, while a .50 AE round from a Desert Eagle and a .30-06 rifle round were stopped within the first bag of candy, demonstrating surprising effectiveness against handgun and rifle rounds.
