This review tests the effectiveness of a 12-gauge double slug shell, finding it delivers significant energy transfer and a tight grouping at 35 yards. The test involved ballistics gel, a water target, and paper accuracy, demonstrating the potential of this multi-projectile load for various applications.

This review tests high-capacity 12-gauge 00 buckshot rounds, comparing recoil and effectiveness. A 15-pellet load showed surprisingly manageable recoil, placing 9 pellets in the A-zone with a wider spread. Ballistics gel tests confirmed over 12 inches of penetration, deeming it effective for home defense.

This review highlights the reliability of pump-action shotguns while also assessing the performance of the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol semi-automatic. Despite a minor jam during the initial break-in period, the A300 demonstrated impressive cycling speed and overall trustworthiness for tactical and self-defense applications. The video emphasizes that high-quality semi-automatic platforms can be as dependable as manual actions.

This review examines the '12 Gauge Vaccinator' shells, a novel ammunition type from GunNutts and Hickory Flat Boars. The shells contain small, finned darts designed for remote vaccination (satirical). Tested in a Beretta 1301 Tactical, the darts penetrated approximately 4 inches into ballistics gel, demonstrating a unique projectile behavior.

This video tests the suitability of exotic 12-gauge shotgun rounds for airsoft use. The instructor demonstrates that rounds containing bouncy balls, glow sticks, or cayenne pepper and airsoft BBs are not safe or appropriate for airsoft. The tests, conducted with a Standard Manufacturing SSR shotgun and ballistic gel, highlight potential dangers and emphasize that these types of ammunition should never be used in airsoft applications.

This video from Civilian Tactical introduces several unique 9mm ammunition types, including Dragon's Breath, Tracer rounds, exploding hollow points, and CCI Birdshot/Ratshot. The instructor, demonstrating a high level of expertise, explains the function and visual characteristics of each round, using ballistics gel to illustrate terminal effects. The content emphasizes understanding the specific applications and safety considerations for these specialized cartridges.

This comedic skit humorously emphasizes the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It illustrates a handgun malfunction, specifically a stovepipe, and uses a visual gag with a spent casing to drive home the safety message. The creator showcases tactical gear and a Sig Sauer P365 XL, demonstrating firearm handling in a range environment.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, against a tree. Surprisingly, even the powerful .50 BMG round failed to penetrate the tree completely, demonstrating the significant stopping power of natural barriers against firearms.

This video explores the hypothetical concept of using a human body as a suppressor, simulating the scenario with ballistic gel. A Derya Arms .22 rifle is fired into a ballistic gel head, with the host noting the shot sounded 'dead silent'. The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head.

This test evaluates the ballistic protection of a Belgian M1 steel helmet against various calibers. While it stopped birdshot, .22, and .380 Auto rounds, it failed to defeat 9mm and .223 Remington rounds, indicating it is not suitable for protection against common handgun or rifle threats.
