Duration: 12:27

This review compares various less-lethal 12-gauge shotgun rounds, testing their drywall penetration and energy transfer using clay blocks. While rubber buckshot showed minimal penetration, rubber slugs and bean bags easily breached drywall. The Lightfield Extended Range Rubber Slug demonstrated significant energy transfer, and the Fiocchi door breaching slug proved extremely powerful, though not strictly less-lethal.

Quick Summary

The Lightfield Extended Range Rubber Slug showed the most impressive energy transfer in clay block tests, penetrating the first block and hitting the second at 600 fps. The Fiocchi door breacher shattered two blocks, demonstrating massive force.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of less-lethal 12 gauge shotgun rounds were tested?

The test included Fire Ants (rubber buckshot), Triple Threat (.68 Cal Balls), Lightfield HV Star, a standard 12-gauge bean bag, a rubber missile slug, Lightfield Extended Range Rubber Slug, and a Fiocchi door breaching slug.

How did the less-lethal rounds perform in drywall penetration tests?

Rubber buckshot only dented the drywall. Triple Threat, bean bags, HV Star, rubber missile slug, and extended range rubber slug all penetrated the drywall with varying degrees of power.

Which less-lethal slug showed the most energy transfer in clay block tests?

The Lightfield Extended Range Rubber Slug demonstrated impressive energy transfer, penetrating the first clay block and hitting the second at 600 fps. The Fiocchi door breacher was even more powerful.

Are rubber buckshot rounds effective for home defense penetration?

Based on the test, rubber buckshot (Fire Ants) did not penetrate drywall, suggesting it may not be ideal for penetrating barriers in a home defense scenario, though it carries ricochet risks.
