This video tests if standard ball or tracer 9mm ammunition can ignite gasoline. Standard ball rounds failed to ignite the fuel, but Supernova 9mm tracer rounds successfully ignited the gasoline due to their pyrotechnic composition, creating a significant fire. The experiment highlights the potential dangers of tracer ammunition in flammable environments.

This video tests whether tracer ammunition can ignite a tree. While tracer rounds from both .22 LR and 9mm calibers impacted the wood, creating smoke and brief illumination, neither caliber was able to start a fire. The experiment highlights that despite the visual effect of tracers, they do not pose a significant fire risk to typical range backstops like wood.

This video experimentally recreates the forensic effects of a contact shotgun blast, inspired by the Alex Murdaugh trial. It demonstrates how trapped gases and pressure cause extensive damage beyond projectile impact, destroying the back and top of a ballistic dummy head while leaving the face relatively intact. The experiment highlights the significant splatter and debris generated, offering insights into trial evidence.

This review of the Benelli SuperNova 12 Gauge shotgun highlights its 3.5-inch chamber, recoil reduction system, and unique shell stop button. While praised for its build quality and versatility with various loads, the reviewer notes a long action that can lead to short-stroking. Extensive testing includes birdshot, buckshot, slugs, and specialized rounds against steel targets and a bank vault door.

Proper recoil management for hard-kicking shotguns and rifles involves a solid shooting stance, leaning into the gun rather than away from it, and maintaining a firm but flexible grip. Avoid excessive tension, as it transfers the full impact to your body. This technique is crucial for safety and accuracy, especially with powerful magnum loads.
