How To Make A Cut Shell!!!

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 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 and testing a shotgun 'cutshell' modification. The video demonstrates how cutting the hull concentrates the shot and casing into a single projectile, significantly increasing penetration power compared to standard birdshot. The demonstration includes a practical test against a 1-inch wood board, showcasing the effectiveness of this DIY ammunition modification.

This video demonstrates a cost-effective method for creating DIY 12-gauge slugs by repurposing birdshot shells. The presenter highlights a significant cost saving per slug, making them approximately 37 cents compared to a dollar for store-bought alternatives. However, this DIY approach requires an initial investment in tools and a substantial time commitment, making it most economical for those producing over 200 slugs.

This guide details the process of creating and utilizing a cut shotgun shell, a technique historically employed for hunting medium game when specialized slugs were unavailable. The video demonstrates how cutting the shell casing allows the front portion to exit the barrel as a single, heavy projectile, significantly increasing penetration compared to standard birdshot. The demonstration highlights its effectiveness against barriers like cinder blocks, contrasting it with the ineffectiveness of birdshot.

This video provides a methodical breakdown of a Remington ShurShot Game Load 12 Gauge shotgun shell. An intermediate technical enthusiast demonstrates the disassembly process, measuring shot weight at 23.98g and powder weight at 1.35g. The guide includes visual inspection of components like the lead birdshot and plastic wad, and a burn rate test for the powder, highlighting the use of precision tools for analysis.

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.
