Videos tagged with Wax Slug

This video demonstrates the theoretical construction of DIY wax projectiles from common lead cartridges. It details the process of cutting cartridges, melting lead and wax, and creating a composite projectile. The video then proceeds to test these homemade projectiles against concrete blocks, ballistic gelatin, and a helmet, comparing their performance to standard lead slugs and 'cutshell' ammunition.

This guide details the process of creating a DIY wax slug from standard birdshot, as demonstrated by the 'Collapse N Protect' channel. The modification involves melting wax and pouring it over the shot to create a cohesive projectile. The video highlights the increased effectiveness of this DIY slug compared to traditional birdshot, particularly in its ability to concentrate energy on the target, as evidenced by its success in shattering a cinder block. The creator also humorously notes the potential for using scented wax to alter the range's odor.

This video from Civilian Tactical tests the effectiveness of improvised wax and tape slugs fired from a 12 Gauge shotgun. The host demonstrates that while these rounds can hit targets, their terminal ballistics are unpredictable, with projectiles often breaking apart or tumbling upon impact, significantly reducing their effectiveness compared to standard ammunition.
