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 DIY process for creating wax slugs, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. It covers the shell modification, mixing lead shot with wax, and forming the projectile. The video also includes testing against cinder blocks, standard slugs, and a ballistic gel, highlighting the unique damage potential of wax slugs compared to birdshot and conventional slugs. The host, an experienced individual in ballistics testing and firearm safety, provides practical insights into this ammunition modification.

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 deconstruction of a Baschieri & Pellagri MB Feltro Tricolor 12 gauge shotgun shell. It covers weighing the shot (33.0g) and powder (1.8g), identifying components like the felt wad and paper casing, and measuring individual shot pellets. The video also includes a burn rate demonstration of the powder. The instruction is presented with high authority through precise deconstruction techniques and measurement tools.

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 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 detailed, multi-stage manual reloading process for a niche 4-gauge shotgun shell. The expert instructor guides viewers through priming, powder loading, wad insertion, projectile seating with a 'Megaslug', and finally sealing the shell with melted polymer/wax. The process highlights specialized tools and components required for this large-caliber reloading.

This guide details the process of handloading 12 Gauge buckshot ammunition, as demonstrated by an experienced individual. It covers priming casings, adding Sokol gunpowder, inserting wads and 9mm lead buckshot, and finishing with a star crimp using a reloading press. Proper storage with a desiccant is also shown. The demonstration highlights expertise in ammunition handloading techniques.

This guide details the methodical disassembly of vintage 16-gauge Azot shotgun shells, as demonstrated by a specialist. It covers the careful cutting of the hull, extraction of components like lead shot and gunpowder, and the use of precision tools for measurement. The video emphasizes a systematic approach to analyzing old ammunition, including a gunpowder burn test, highlighting the expertise of the presenter in handling potentially hazardous vintage materials.

This guide details the custom reloading of 12 Gauge brass shotgun rounds, emphasizing a methodical, ASMR-style approach. It covers shell preparation, precise powder measurement, wadding, projectile insertion, and finishing with wax seals and custom stamps. The process also includes the 3D printing of custom storage cases, showcasing advanced DIY ammunition crafting.
