A Escopeta 12 de Quebra-Queixo!

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the surprising impact of 12 Gauge shotgun shells loaded with Jawbreaker candies instead of traditional pellets. Expert analysis covers the energy transfer, spread pattern, and damage potential when fired at various targets, including a water jug and a ballistic gel head. The instructor emphasizes that these candy-filled rounds are not harmless.

This video from Tática Civil tests the lethality of a unique shotgun shell loaded with three bouncy balls, branded by Hickory Flat Boars. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in ballistic testing, evaluates the shell's performance through water jug, paper target, and ballistic dummy head tests. The results indicate extreme devastation, with the projectiles shredding targets and causing significant damage to the ballistic dummy, leading to a strong warning against being hit by this ammunition.

This video demonstrates the testing of specialized 12 Gauge ammunition designed for drone capture, developed by Maverick Drone Systems. The ammunition features a segmented projectile that opens in a net shape to disable and recover drones intact. The testing process involves firing the rounds at a drone stand-in and examining the projectile's components post-firing, highlighting the embedded Kevlar fibers and steel spheres.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of the Maverick Drone Systems anti-drone round, a $20 12-gauge shotgun shell designed to entangle and destroy drone rotors. Live fire tests using ballistic gel analogs show the round creates significant lacerations and embeds its internal entanglement cords, proving its lethality even against soft targets. The host, from Civilian Tactical, highlights the specialized design and experimental nature of this drone interdiction ammunition.

This video provides a direct comparison of a 12 gauge shotgun's sound and recoil when fired suppressed versus unsuppressed. The demonstration highlights a significant reduction in noise (40-50%) and smoother recoil with the Yankee Hill Vitra 12 suppressor. The instructor, demonstrating experienced knowledge, notes the practical benefits and the suppressor's heat buildup after sustained use.

This video provides a practical demonstration of how different types of 12 Gauge shotgun ammunition perform acoustically when fired through a YHM Victra 12 suppressor. The instructor highlights that buckshot and fine shot offer the most significant sound reduction compared to slugs, with buckshot showing the greatest difference. This information is valuable for understanding suppressor effectiveness with various shotgun loads.

This video explores the theoretical and practical outcome of loading a 50 BMG cartridge into a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment, conducted by a hobbyist, demonstrates that while the 50 BMG cartridge surprisingly fits, the flare gun's firing mechanism and primer strength are insufficient to ignite it. The test highlights the significant differences in primer resistance between ammunition types.

This video debunks the myth that shooting upwards is safe, explaining the lethal terminal velocity of falling projectiles. It showcases the Canik Mete MC9 Prime with a Gideon Valor optic and demonstrates the use of 9mm shot shells for controlled, less dangerous demonstrations, highlighting their unique projectile dispersal.

This video debunks the myth that a .50 BMG round passing near a target can be lethal due to shockwave. Using a ballistic mannequin head and a Big Kahuna Firearms Raptor-50 rifle, the test demonstrated that while the .50 BMG round impacted and destroyed a concrete block behind the target, it did not affect the mannequin or the cardboard placed near it. The conclusion is that a near miss from a .50 BMG is not fatal.

This video conducts a destructive test comparing the impact of .22 LR and .50 BMG rounds on a ballistic head model. The .22 LR caused minimal damage, while the .50 BMG completely destroyed the head, highlighting the vast difference in energy and destructive potential between the two calibers. The test also showcases the Raptor .50 BMG upper receiver as an accessible way to experience .50 BMG ballistics on an AR-15 platform.
