Videos tagged with Terminal Effect

This video from Johnny Q provides a visual demonstration of the terminal effects of various common firearm calibers on a cardboard target. It covers .380 ACP, 9mm Luger, .357 Magnum, 5.56 NATO, and 12 Gauge slugs, showcasing the increasing impact and damage potential from smaller handgun rounds to rifle and shotgun rounds. The instructor highlights the significant difference in damage, particularly with the 12 Gauge slug.

This guide details the process of testing Firequest 12 Gauge Flash Thunder Grenade shotgun shells against a Cranium Target ballistic gel head using a Maverick 88 shotgun. The test, conducted point-blank on an Outdoor Shooting Range, assesses the terminal effects of these specialized shells, which replicate a flashbang effect. The Civilian Tactical host demonstrates proper setup and evaluation of the results.

Instruction from Joe, a former SEAL Team sniper with extensive combat experience, debunks the myth that 5.56 NATO is ineffective at extended ranges. He emphasizes that shot placement, platform, and application are critical, and 5.56 with 77-grain bullets has proven effective in real-world scenarios. The video advocates for prioritizing consistent training with affordable, available platforms like the AR-15 chambered in 5.56 over expensive, niche calibers for developing true shooting competence.
