Shotgun Slugs vs Concrete Blocks .410 20ga 12ga

This video tests the accuracy of home-cast versus store-bought shotgun slugs, debunking the myth that homemade slugs are less accurate. Both types produced equally tight groups when fired from a Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol. The host also highlights the shotgun's performance and promotes tactical gear.

This review introduces the EAA Balikli Blue Label O/U shotgun, a budget-friendly option for bird hunters with an MSRP of $479. The shotgun features a walnut stock with a pistol grip, laser engraving, back-bored barrels for improved performance, and comes with a set of five chokes. It is available in 12, 20, 28, and .410 gauges, with barrel lengths varying by gauge. Scott Olmsted, Editor-in-Chief of American Hunter, highlights its high feature-to-price ratio.

This review tests the effectiveness of various snake shot loads across different calibers. While .410 bore offers more power, its loudness limits its utility. For common pest encounters at close range, .22 LR provides the best balance of reduced noise and adequate spread pattern, demonstrating surprisingly effective pest control capabilities.

Amber and Doshie from Exile Armory showcase a wide array of new firearms and accessories. The video features various pistols, rifles, shotguns, and suppressors from brands like FN, Q, Bergara, Springfield Armory, and Beretta, with detailed pricing and some technical specifications provided. The presentation is casual and informative, highlighting new inventory for customers.

This video tests the accuracy of 20 Gauge Sabot Slugs fired from a Winchester SXP Black Shadow shotgun. It also references other videos featuring 12 Gauge rifled slugs and 12 Gauge sabot slugs, providing comparisons for shotgun slug performance across different types and gauges. The description includes affiliate links to various gear used in the videos, such as holsters, steel targets, cameras, shooting accessories, and ammo boxes.

This review of the Charles Daly Honcho highlights its design as a compact 'problem solver' for defense. It details the shotgun's aluminum receiver, bottom feed/side eject system, and availability in 12 or 20 gauge. The review emphasizes its short 27-inch overall length with a 14.5-inch barrel, making it highly portable, and notes the MSRP ranges from $335 for the polymer version to $380 for the walnut model.

This video compares the terminal performance of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The test demonstrates a significant increase in destructive power from .22LR up to .45 ACP, with the larger calibers causing more explosive expansion and fragmentation. Specific hollow-point ammunition from Speer, Aguila, and Underwood was used, highlighting the importance of bullet construction for terminal ballistics.

Buckeye Ballistics conducted a comparative test of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating significant firearm and ballistics knowledge, emphasized extreme safety precautions due to ricochet risks. The test revealed that while larger calibers showed more damage, none could fully penetrate the concrete block's second wall, suggesting limitations for self-defense scenarios against hardened barriers.

This Taurus TX22 review details its performance with various .22 LR ammunition. While initially reliable with CCI Mini-Mags and cycling standard velocity rounds well, it encountered malfunctions with sub-sonic and high-velocity loads. A catastrophic failure occurred due to a squib load followed by a second shot, resulting in a bulged barrel and damaged magazine.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR rimfire cartridges using cantaloupes as targets. The .22LR showed a clean pass-through with minor damage, the .22WMR caused an explosive front-face disintegration, and the .17HMR, despite its speed, disintegrated internally with no exit. The test highlights how different rimfire rounds perform on soft tissue simulants.
