Published on August 17, 2012
Duration: 3:13

This video showcases the immense power of the 10-gauge shotgun through a series of destruction tests. Targets ranged from steel plates and water-filled bottles to cinder blocks and melons, all demonstrating significant kinetic energy transfer. A unique 'cut shell' technique is also demonstrated, where the hull is modified to act like a slug for increased penetration.

Quick Summary

The 'cut shell' is a field-expedient shotgun modification where the hull is partially cut, allowing the entire shot column and hull to travel together like a slug. This technique was demonstrated to increase penetration, creating a large entry hole in a wooden board.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'cut shell' in shotgun terminology?

A 'cut shell' is a field-expedient modification where the shotgun shell hull is partially cut. This causes the entire shot column and hull to travel together downrange, behaving much like a slug for increased penetration and impact.

How powerful is a 10-gauge shotgun?

The 10-gauge shotgun demonstrates extreme power, capable of shattering cinder blocks, vaporizing melons, and causing significant damage to steel plates. Its large payload delivers substantial kinetic energy.

What types of ammunition were tested in the 10-gauge shotgun?

The video tested 10-gauge slugs against steel plates, turkey loads against multiple bottles, and a specialized 'cut shell' against a wooden board, showcasing various performance characteristics.

What were the results of the cinder block test?

When fired at a cinder block, the 10-gauge shotgun blast completely shattered the block, demonstrating the immense destructive force and energy transfer capabilities of this large caliber firearm.
