Shell Shock Technologies 1000 Round Test

Published on November 18, 2016
Duration: 40:18

This video details a 1000-round test of Shell Shock Technologies' NAS³ ammunition fired through an Angad 9mm carbine pistol. The test focused on evaluating the durability and reliability of the novel two-part ammunition casing, specifically checking for case separation under high-volume fire. The firearm was lubricated every 250 rounds, and observations were made regarding feeding, ejection, and overall performance.

Quick Summary

Shell Shock Technologies NAS³ ammunition utilizes a two-part casing with a new alloy and aluminum base, offering a 50% weight reduction and 2.5x tensile strength compared to brass. A 1000-round test confirmed its reliability, with no case separations observed, and highlighted its magnetic cleanup advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Shell Shock Technologies NAS³ ammunition?

Shell Shock Technologies NAS³ ammunition features a unique two-part casing made from a new alloy and an aluminum base. This design is significantly lighter and stronger than traditional brass casings, offering improved durability and reloadability.

What were the key findings of the 1000-round test of NAS³ ammunition?

The 1000-round test demonstrated that Shell Shock Technologies NAS³ ammunition is highly reliable, with no case separations occurring. The casings proved durable under high-volume fire, and the ammunition performed consistently.

What are the advantages of NAS³ ammunition casings?

NAS³ casings are 50% lighter than brass, 2.5 times stronger, and offer a 10-fold increase in reload capacity. The aluminum base can also be color-coded for load identification, and the magnetic casings simplify cleanup.

Were there any malfunctions during the 1000-round test?

While the ammunition itself performed without case separation, minor malfunctions like a dented round and a failure to feed were observed, attributed to magazine issues and firearm condition rather than the NAS³ casing technology.
