This video features a water column drop test, part three of a series, comparing eleven commercial .410 slugs. The creator aims to assess how aerodynamic drag impacts slugs in flight, building on previous visual inspections and weight/measurement tests. While most slugs showed inconsistencies, the Brenneke slug performed exceptionally well. The video acknowledges limitations due to camera frame rate but highlights the value of this comparative test. Thanks are given to Buckeye Ballistics for providing the slugs and taofledermaus for the original test methodology. Future content will delve into slug/wad/powder construction.

This video explores the creation of 20-gauge mini shells, a project initiated because no manufacturers currently produce them. The creator details a simple process involving a standard load with a modified wad (omitting the vision section) to achieve a 1 3/4" overall shell length. The description emphasizes the importance of a roll crimp for successful completion. The content poses a question of practicality versus novelty for these custom shells.

This video from Civilian Tactical evaluates three unique 12 Gauge shotgun rounds, including a copper coil slug, copper rods, and a wax/lead shot projectile. The presenter, demonstrating advanced knowledge of firearms and ammunition, fires each round to analyze their impact characteristics and stability. The evaluation includes visual inspection of targets after single shots and extended firing sessions to gather comprehensive data on projectile performance and consistency.

This episode of TGC News covers several firearm-related topics. Jon Patton discusses a new Polymer80 (P80) AFT kit, news about Bushmaster silencers, and a comparison of CZ red and blue firearms. The episode also notes the passing of Danny from Taofledermaus and provides links to TGC's merchandise, support options, and ad-free viewing. The content aims to inform and entertain firearms enthusiasts with updates on new products and industry news.

This archival footage analysis video features YouTube creators Taofledermaus and Bloke on the Range, along with Othais, as they investigate and attempt to understand historical firearm manufacturing processes depicted in old film. The content focuses on piecing together information from the archival material to shed light on the "making of the war" through the lens of firearms production.

This video explores the feasibility of firing a .50 BMG round from a 12-gauge Orion flare gun. Initial tests with a standard flare show significant damage to a melon. However, attempts to fire the .50 BMG round directly from the flare gun failed due to insufficient firing pin force and primer ignition issues. A secondary method using a BB gun to strike the primer also resulted in unburnt gunpowder, concluding the experiment.
