This video demonstrates and tests the effectiveness of 'chain shot' ammunition for shotguns, adapted from historical pirate weaponry. The experiment involves firing three variations (fine, medium, and thick chain) at targets, pineapples, a water bucket, and ballistic gelatin to assess their spread, impact energy, and potential lethality. The findings suggest that while chain shot can cause significant surface damage, its penetration and overall effectiveness are limited compared to conventional ammunition.

This video demonstrates a test of fire-resistant 'Frog' pants against a continuous flamethrower stream. The Pulsfire Flamethrower, an electric/battery-powered unit, was used to apply fire to the pants mounted on a metal door at an outdoor range. The experiment, conducted by a tactical gear enthusiast, showed that while the pants are fire-resistant, they could not withstand the prolonged, intense heat of the flamethrower, resulting in the fabric glowing incandescent red and the metal door becoming charred.

This video from 704 Tactical demonstrates the potential danger of blank cartridges, specifically 5.56 blanks, when fired at extremely close range. The host, an experienced firearms reviewer, conducts an experiment by firing a blank point-blank into a 25lb block of clay. The results show that while blanks lack a projectile, the expanding gases can create a significant cavity, indicating a potential for severe injury at close distances.
