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.

Quick Summary

Custom JB Weld bullets, made from epoxy and loaded into 12-gauge shells, are highly penetrative and lethal, as shown in ballistics gelatin tests. However, they exhibit very low accuracy, failing to perform like standard slugs which offer greater energy transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a JB Weld bullet and how is it made?

A JB Weld bullet is a custom projectile created by mixing JB Stick epoxy and forming it into a dense, spherical shape. These are then loaded into shotgun shells for testing, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical.

How accurate are JB Weld bullets?

According to the Civilian Tactical test, JB Weld bullets fired from a 12-gauge shotgun are highly inaccurate, making them unsuitable for precise targeting.

Are JB Weld bullets lethal?

Yes, despite their inaccuracy, JB Weld bullets have proven to be lethal. In testing, one penetrated a ballistics gelatin head from front to back, indicating significant penetrative power.

How does a JB Weld bullet compare to a standard slug?

A standard 12-gauge slug typically causes a more explosive impact with greater energy transfer. The JB Weld bullet, however, prioritizes deep penetration, punching through targets without the same dramatic effect.
