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 review by firearms instructor John G. Johnson highlights the Attack Arms Bull Pup 12Ga Semi Automatic shotgun, emphasizing its suitability for home defense due to its compact bullpup design. Key features include an 18-inch barrel, ambidextrous controls, included cheek riser, and flip-up sights. Notably, the shotgun does not require a break-in period and reliably cycles 7.5 birdshot, even with 2 3/4 inch shells, demonstrating its readiness for immediate use.

This video reviews the Israeli Weapons Industry (IWI) MAFTEAH 12-gauge shotgun as an ideal firearm purchase under $1000. The instructor highlights its suitability for home defense, its compact size, and its technical features like M-Lok slots and optic-ready capability. The MAFTEAH is presented as a practical and effective tool for various defensive scenarios.

This video tests the suitability of several exotic 12-gauge shotgun loads for airsoft use, concluding none are safe. The tests involved a bouncy ball round, a glow stick round, and a cayenne pepper/airsoft BB round, all fired at a ballistic gelatin head. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in firearms and ballistics, clearly advises against using any of these for airsoft due to excessive force and potential for injury.

This review covers the Mossberg 590RM Chisel, a magazine-fed, 12-gauge pump-action shotgun with an 11-inch barrel, classifying it as an SBS. The design incorporates AR-style controls and a detachable box magazine, a significant upgrade for capacity in short-barreled shotguns. The presentation is informative, highlighting key features and technical specifications.

This review assesses the budget-friendly Tokarev TBP 12 bullpup shotgun, imported by SDS Imports, priced under $250. The host, an experienced reviewer, details its physical specifications, controls, and initial performance. Despite a broken magazine detent and a single feeding malfunction during testing, the shotgun is deemed a 'pass' for its price point, with plans for a follow-up review.

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.

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.
