This guide details the experimental process of creating and testing custom bullets made from JB Weld epoxy. The Civilian Tactical host demonstrates loading these epoxy projectiles into 12-gauge shells and evaluates their performance through energy impact tests, accuracy assessments, and a lethality test using ballistics gelatin. The results indicate these custom bullets are highly penetrative but lack accuracy.

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 using a 12-gauge to 9mm caliber adapter in a Balikli Blue Label break-action shotgun. It covers loading the adapter and chambering it, highlighting the adapter's function. The video's host, identified as a knowledgeable enthusiast, demonstrates this modification for potential survival scenarios, while also noting significant accuracy limitations.

This guide details a cost-effective method for creating black powder shotgun shells using common household items and readily available components. The process involves preparing 12-gauge shells, measuring black powder and shot to create a 'square load,' and sealing the components with cardboard discs and glue, omitting traditional crimping. The instructor emphasizes safety, particularly when using double-barrel shotguns with these homemade shells.

This guide details the construction and experimental testing of a DIY body armor plate, as demonstrated by 704 Tactical. The project utilizes common materials like ceramic tiles and computer paper, costing between $5-$8. The video showcases the process of cutting and assembling the plate, followed by ballistic tests against handgun, shotgun, and rifle rounds. While effective for its cost in stopping threats, the creator emphasizes its experimental nature and not for life-saving reliance.

This guide details the process of lengthening the chamber on an antique Parker 12-gauge shotgun from 2.5 inches to 2.75 inches to accommodate modern shells. Expert gunsmith Larry Potterfield demonstrates the use of specialized tools like a piloted chamber reamer and emphasizes meticulous cleaning and lubrication for a safe and effective modification. The process requires precision and adherence to specific steps to ensure proper chamber dimensions.

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.
