This video demonstrates how to create improvised slugs from standard shotgun shells by cutting them. Historically used during the Great Depression, these 'cut shells' offer a budget-friendly alternative to slugs. The process involves carefully cutting the shell to retain the wad and shot, then firing to test accuracy and performance, noting potential ejection issues with semi-automatic shotguns.

This video highlights critical firearm safety failures, including poor muzzle awareness and lack of trigger discipline, culminating in a negligent discharge within a residential setting. The demonstration, though silent, serves as a stark warning against unsafe handling practices, emphasizing the importance of proper training.

This video demonstrates how to create DIY wax slugs by modifying standard birdshot shells with melted wax. The process binds pellets into a single mass, significantly increasing energy transfer and penetration compared to traditional birdshot. Testing shows wax slugs can shatter cinder blocks, unlike birdshot, and can even add a pleasant scent to the shooting range.

This video tests whether shotgun shells mounted on a plate carrier will explode when shot. Experiments with birdshot, buckshot, and a Dragon's Breath round show that while the shells and carrier are damaged, the shells themselves do not detonate. The speaker explains this is because firing requires both primer ignition and compression from a barrel, neither of which are present when a shell casing is breached.
