Videos tagged with Wax Slugs

This guide details the process of creating DIY wax slugs, as demonstrated by Tática Civil. The video shows how to modify standard birdshot rounds by coating the pellets in wax and reinserting them into the shell. A destructive test comparing regular birdshot to the wax slug against cinder blocks highlights the significantly increased energy concentration of the wax slug. This modification is presented as a method to enhance projectile impact energy.

This guide details the process of creating DIY wax slugs, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. The process involves modifying standard 12-gauge birdshot shells by mixing the lead shot with melted wax and reloading it into the casing. This modification aims to improve projectile integrity and energy transfer upon impact, as shown in a comparison against standard birdshot. The instructor emphasizes safe handling and explains the terminal ballistics of this custom ammunition.

This guide details a practical test comparing the accuracy of wax slugs against standard 1-ounce rifled slugs using a Beretta 1301 shotgun. The experienced instructor demonstrates proper shooting technique and analyzes the results, highlighting key differences in projectile design and their impact on accuracy. The test aims to determine the practical effectiveness of wax slugs for potential use.

This guide details the DIY process for creating wax slugs, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. It covers the shell modification, mixing lead shot with wax, and forming the projectile. The video also includes testing against cinder blocks, standard slugs, and a ballistic gel, highlighting the unique damage potential of wax slugs compared to birdshot and conventional slugs. The host, an experienced individual in ballistics testing and firearm safety, provides practical insights into this ammunition modification.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of homemade wax slugs fired from a Mossberg 590A1 Retrograde shotgun. The presenter compares the impact of wax slugs against regular birdshot on various targets, including steel, two-liter bottles, ballistic gel, an iPad, and Oreo bricks. The wax slugs consistently showed superior penetration and impact force, often causing more significant damage and remaining more intact upon impact compared to birdshot.
