Full keg of beer vs 12 gauge shotgun slug

This video tests ceramic BB shotgun shells, comparing their performance to traditional lead BBs. The shells exhibited light recoil but required manual cycling in a semi-auto shotgun. Testing revealed a fast spread pattern and penetration approximately one inch less than lead BBs in ballistics gel.

This video showcases a live-fire demonstration of a short-barreled shotgun (SBS) with wood furniture, likely a Mossberg 500/590 series, chambered in 12-gauge. The demonstration includes loading Rio shells, engaging multiple watermelon targets at close range with rapid cycling, and observing the terminal ballistics in slow motion. The shooter exhibits efficient weapon manipulation and controlled recoil management, indicative of professional handling.

Testing a 12-gauge slug loaded backwards into a shell reveals significantly reduced accuracy and irregular impact patterns compared to standard slugs. While recoil feels similar, the reversed slug's performance is extremely poor, creating scattered hits and jagged holes in the target. This experiment highlights the importance of proper ammunition loading and projectile orientation for effective firearm function.

This video showcases dynamic shotgun handling and reloading techniques, likely in a competition setting. A female shooter demonstrates rapid engagement of multiple targets and efficient reloading while moving. The presence of a safety officer and sponsor logos indicates an organized event, highlighting experienced shooter performance.

This video experimentally tests a Looney Tunes myth: inserting a carrot into a shotgun barrel. The test confirms that a carrot obstruction will cause a 12 Gauge shotgun barrel to catastrophically fail, splitting open like a banana. The experiment highlights the destructive potential of barrel obstructions and the dangers of replicating cartoon physics.

This YouTube video tests the flammability and potential dangers of marshmallows when subjected to a shotgun blast. The title, "Marshmallows podem ser perigosos? Teste com espingarda!" translates to "Can marshmallows be dangerous? Shotgun test!" indicating a destructive testing scenario focusing on the interaction between a common food item and a firearm. The experiment aims to demonstrate what happens to marshmallows under the force and heat of a shotgun firing, likely exploring visual and physical effects.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. While smaller calibers and even .450 Bushmaster and .308 were stopped, the .50 caliber Armor Piercing Incendiary round successfully penetrated the bucket, destroying a dummy target behind it. The test highlights the significant difference in terminal effects between standard rifle rounds and specialized armor-piercing ammunition.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms rounds in a swimming pool, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. Surprisingly, higher velocity rifle rounds like the .223 and .308 fragmented quickly, while the .50 AE Desert Eagle traveled the furthest at 190 inches. The .50 BMG sniper rifle, despite its power, only penetrated 61 inches, likely due to massive energy displacement.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Secret Service Suburban window against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers and even a 10mm and .44 Magnum were stopped with varying degrees of damage, the window was eventually penetrated by a .50 BMG sniper rifle round. The testing provides a clear demonstration of the limits of armored vehicle glass against high-powered rifle threats.
