Published on May 16, 2022
Duration: 15:03

This video tests the effectiveness of ninja throwing stars (shuriken) for self-defense against ballistic dummies and watermelons, comparing them to modern firearms. While shuriken can cause lethal injury with precise hits, especially to a ballistic gel head, firearms like the Winchester 1897 and Henry .45-70 demonstrate vastly superior stopping power and destructive capability, making them the practical choice for self-defense.

Quick Summary

Ninja throwing stars can cause lethal injury with precise hits, penetrating a ballistic gel head's eye socket. However, their effectiveness is limited compared to firearms, which demonstrate vastly superior stopping power and destructive capability in tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can ninja throwing stars be effective for self-defense?

While ninja stars (shuriken) can cause lethal injury with precise hits, as demonstrated by penetration into a ballistic gel head's eye socket, their effectiveness is highly limited compared to modern firearms. Achieving accuracy under duress is difficult, and their stopping power is minimal against resilient targets.

How do ninja stars compare to firearms for self-defense?

Firearms like shotguns and high-powered rifles exhibit vastly superior stopping power and destructive capability. Tests showed a Winchester 1897 obliterating a watermelon and a Henry .45-70 destroying a ballistic head, starkly contrasting the limited damage from shuriken.

What was tested in the 1ShotTV video?

The video tested the self-defense potential of ninja throwing stars (shuriken) against rubber dummies, watermelons, and a realistic ballistic gel head. It also included comparative tests using a Winchester 1897 shotgun and a Henry .45-70 rifle.
