12 Gauge Drone Round

This video demonstrates the testing of Maverick Drone Systems' 12 Gauge drone capture rounds. The ammunition is designed with segmented projectiles that deploy a net-like structure to recover drones intact for examination. The testing involves live fire with a shotgun and subsequent analysis of projectile components, highlighting the embedded Kevlar fibers and steel spheres. The minimum order for these specialized rounds is $100.

This guide demonstrates the use of the Tough Products Quick Strip, a speedloader designed for double-barreled shotguns. It details how to load six 12 gauge cartridges into the chambers of a shotgun, highlighting the unique design features of the strip, such as its thumb pad and reliefs. The video also touches upon its compatibility with different shotgun action types (extractor vs. ejector) and its effectiveness for faster reloads.

This video from Tática Civil demonstrates a unique ballistic test using 12 Gauge shotgun shells loaded with Jawbreaker candies. The instructor, showing experienced firearm handling, tests their impact on a water jug and a Clear Ballistics gel head, comparing the spread to standard birdshot. The results indicate these candy rounds deliver significant energy and wider spread than conventional shotgun shells, posing a greater threat than their composition might suggest.

This video, presented by Sully from Line 45, outlines seven essential ammunition calibers gun owners should stockpile in anticipation of future shortages and price spikes, particularly focusing on 2025. The expert emphasizes the importance of proactive stocking for calibers like .300 Blackout, .308 Winchester, 10mm Auto, 12 Gauge, .22LR, .223/5.56 NATO, and 9mm Luger, detailing their specific applications, performance characteristics, and current market availability challenges. The advice is geared towards ensuring preparedness for various shooting scenarios, from self-defense to hunting and training.

This video outlines three essential firearms for home preparedness: a 9mm concealed carry handgun for its practicality and availability, a 12-gauge shotgun as the most effective home defense tool due to its intuitive nature and close-quarters effectiveness, and a modern sporting rifle in .223/5.56 for precision home defense, hunting, and wilderness survival. The instructor emphasizes the importance of choosing firearms that are practical, reliable, and readily supported by aftermarket accessories.

This guide details a practical test comparing the sound reduction effectiveness of the YHM Victra 12 shotgun suppressor across three common 12 gauge ammunition types: birdshot, buckshot, and slugs. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical, demonstrates that suppressors significantly reduce noise, with buckshot showing the most dramatic difference. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, recommends specific ammunition types for optimal suppression.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
