This video demonstrates a DIY method for creating 'wax slugs' by coating birdshot pellets in wax and reloading them into a shotgun shell. A destructive test comparing a standard birdshot round against a wax slug fired into cinder blocks shows the wax slug's significantly higher destructive potential due to concentrated energy transfer. The demonstration is presented by Tática Civil, highlighting the effectiveness of this homemade projectile.
This guide details the process of creating DIY wax slugs from standard birdshot shells, involving cutting the shell, mixing lead shot with melted wax, and reloading the hull. The video demonstrates their significantly higher impact energy compared to birdshot, as evidenced by tests on cinder blocks and a Chinese PLA helmet, though accuracy is noted to be less precise than standard slugs. The host, an experienced firearms instructor, also compares their cycling reliability in a semi-automatic shotgun to cut shells.
This video demonstrates how to create DIY wax slugs by modifying standard birdshot shells with melted wax. The process binds pellets into a single mass, significantly increasing energy transfer and penetration compared to traditional birdshot. Testing shows wax slugs can shatter cinder blocks, unlike birdshot, and can even add a pleasant scent to the shooting range.
