.22 BULLETS BUCKSHOT?!? *Small Caliber big sting* #civtac #ammo #shooting #shotgun

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 video demonstrates an experimental test of replacing lead shot in a 12-gauge shotgun shell with approximately 100 hairpins. The test involves three parts: a water test to show immediate energy, a cardboard test for pattern analysis, and a ballistic gelatin test to assess penetration and projectile behavior. The results indicate significant projectile deformation and penetration, suggesting a potentially lethal outcome.

This video demonstrates an experimental modification of a 12-gauge shotgun shell, replacing birdshot with thousands of bobby pins. Through a three-part test involving water jugs, cardboard targets, and ballistic gelatin, the effectiveness and lethality of this improvised projectile are evaluated. The results indicate significant energy transfer, wide pattern spread, and penetration capabilities, suggesting the bobby pin shell is 'certified deadly'.

This guide details the process of creating custom exploding slugs, as demonstrated by an experienced firearms instructor. It involves using 'Lucky 7 Air Ammo' slugs as a base and carefully filling them with explosive material salvaged from '.22 cal Edgun West exploding pellets'. The process emphasizes meticulous handling and securing the material with super glue. The instructor highlights successful test firings using an 'AEA Zeus .50 cal airgun', showcasing the projectile's explosive effect.

This guide details the disassembly of a 12-gauge shotgun cartridge, as demonstrated by an experienced instructor from DROBASHEVICH. It covers the careful cutting of the crimped end, removal of internal components like the wadding and shot cup, and the extraction of the primer. This process is crucial for understanding ammunition construction and potentially for salvaging components for reloading or educational purposes.

This guide details an attempt to install an AR-15 trigger into a Derya Arms DY12 12-gauge shotgun. The process involves disassembly, fitting the AR-15 trigger, and reassembly, followed by a functional test. The video highlights potential compatibility issues due to differing internal designs, specifically the hammer mechanism and pin configurations, ultimately concluding that the AR-15 trigger is not directly compatible.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
