Projéteis de cera: Será que são mesmo tão perigosos?

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 a DIY method for creating hollow point projectiles by drilling into FMJ bullets. The experiment, conducted at Clay Lake, compares the impact of a standard FMJ against a modified hollow point in a clay target. The results show a significantly larger impact crater from the drilled hollow point, suggesting increased expansion. The speaker, wearing Leupold sunglasses, indicates a potential for accuracy testing next.

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 DIY hollow point ammunition from FMJ rounds using a drill press, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. It covers the modification steps, testing for cycling and accuracy in a Girsan CMX, and evaluating terminal ballistics in ballistic gelatin. The instructor, an experienced firearms expert, advises caution and recommends factory ammunition despite the potential for DIY hollow points to be effective.

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 a DIY method for creating hollow point bullets from FMJ projectiles using a common power drill. The video demonstrates the process and compares the terminal ballistics of a modified FMJ against a standard FMJ in a mud lake test. The results showed a significantly larger cavity from the DIY hollow point, surprising the presenter. The video suggests further accuracy testing. Instruction is provided by an experienced individual with clear expertise in ammunition types and reloading.

This video explores the compatibility of a 50 BMG cartridge with a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment reveals that while the cartridge fits, the flare gun's mechanism cannot ignite the tough 50 BMG primers. However, it successfully fires a standard 12 gauge blank, highlighting the difference in primer hardness. The content is presented from a hobbyist perspective, focusing on experimental curiosity rather than professional instruction.

This video from Tática Civil, featuring an expert instructor, explains the dangers of firing upwards due to projectile drop and terminal velocity. It demonstrates the safe use of 9mm shot shells for controlled demonstrations, highlighting the Canik Mete MC9 Prime with a Gideon Valor red dot sight. The instructor emphasizes crucial firearm safety protocols.

This guide details an experimental test to debunk the myth that a .50 BMG round passing near a target can be lethal. Using a ballistic mannequin, cardboard indicators, and a concrete backstop, the test demonstrates that a near miss from a .50 BMG round does not impart enough shockwave or air pressure to cause fatal injury, though the projectile itself possesses immense kinetic energy as evidenced by its impact on the concrete block. The test was conducted objectively by an individual with high authority, indicated by their empirical testing methods and proper safety protocols.

This video explores the surprising functionality of a realistic toy shotgun, the M870 by Dart Armory. The presenter tests if it can chamber and cycle real 12-gauge shotgun shells, comparing its operation to a Mossberg 590. The toy shotgun successfully loads, chambers, and ejects real shells, demonstrating a high degree of realism in its mechanical operation.
