How Powerful Are Concrete Bullets ??? (10 Gauge Slugs & Buckshot)

Published on June 28, 2024
Duration: 18:35

This video tests the effectiveness of custom concrete 10 gauge slugs and buckshot against various targets, including steel, ballistic gel, household items, and an armored car. The concrete ammunition proved significantly less effective than traditional lead, disintegrating on impact with steel and failing to penetrate even basic barriers. The testing highlights the importance of material density and construction in projectile performance.

Quick Summary

Custom concrete 10 gauge slugs (180 grains) and buckshot (approx. 140 grains) were tested against lead slugs (765 grains). Concrete ammo disintegrated on steel, showed minimal penetration in ballistic gel, and failed to penetrate an armored car, highlighting lead's superior performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did concrete 10 gauge slugs perform against steel targets?

When fired at steel targets, the concrete 10 gauge slugs left a visible mark but lacked the significant impact and penetration of traditional lead slugs. The concrete buckshot essentially turned to powder upon impact.

What was the weight difference between concrete and lead 10 gauge slugs?

The custom concrete 10 gauge slug weighed approximately 180 grains. In comparison, a standard lead 10 gauge slug typically weighs around 765 grains, showing a substantial difference in mass.

Did concrete ammunition penetrate an armored car?

No, the concrete rounds tested failed to penetrate the glass or body of the armored car. This demonstrated their significantly lower effectiveness compared to traditional lead ammunition.

How did concrete slugs perform in ballistic gel testing?

The concrete slugs broke apart immediately upon impact with 10% clear ballistic gel, resulting in very shallow penetration and leaving a gritty residue within the gel.
