This guide details a test procedure for evaluating the effectiveness of a custom '9mm Buckshot' load, created by placing 9mm FMJ projectiles into 12-gauge shells. The test covers accuracy, energy transfer, and lethality against various targets, including a homemade shrapnel vest. The results indicate significant penetration and lethality, though keyholing was observed, suggesting ballistic instability.

Quick Summary

A custom '9mm Buckshot' load, created by placing 9mm FMJ bullets into 12-gauge shells, was tested for effectiveness. Results showed significant lethality, penetrating a homemade shrapnel vest and shredding a soda bottle. However, keyholing was observed on targets, indicating poor stabilization from the smoothbore shotgun barrel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is '9mm Buckshot' and how is it made?

'9mm Buckshot' refers to a custom ammunition load where 9mm bullets are removed from their original cartridges and loaded into 12-gauge shotgun shells. This experimental load aims to combine the characteristics of both firearm types for testing purposes.

What were the results of the 9mm buckshot test?

The test showed the 9mm buckshot load could shred a soda bottle and penetrate a homemade shrapnel vest, indicating lethality. However, significant keyholing was observed on targets, suggesting poor projectile stabilization from the smoothbore shotgun barrel.

What is keyholing and why did it occur?

Keyholing is when a bullet hits a target sideways, tumbling rather than flying point-first. This occurred because the 9mm projectiles were fired from a smoothbore 12-gauge shotgun barrel, which lacks the rifling needed to stabilize them effectively.

What targets were used to test the 9mm buckshot load?

The test utilized a cardboard silhouette target for accuracy assessment, a 2-liter soda bottle to demonstrate energy transfer, and a homemade shrapnel vest constructed from duct tape and padding to evaluate lethality and penetration.
