A munição mais dolorida que já atirei

Shortshot Tony explains why alternating buckshot and slugs ('candy cane loads') in a shotgun magazine is an ineffective defensive strategy. He demonstrates buckshot's immediate tissue damage and argues that slugs following buckshot are redundant, often passing through the same wound channel. Tony advises sticking to consistent loads like all buckshot for general use and keeping slugs on a side saddle for specific long-range needs.

This video showcases a diverse collection of 12-gauge shotguns, highlighting various models from brands like Black Aces Tactical, Mossberg, Remington, Kel-Tec, Kalashnikov USA, Stoeger, and Beretta. The presenter, Yoki Sturrup, provides a brief overview of each firearm, touching on features, calibers, and some personal opinions. The collection emphasizes the versatility of the 12-gauge platform for different applications, including tactical and home defense scenarios.

This video provides a practical guide to selecting and patterning buckshot for home defense shotguns, emphasizing the importance of testing ammunition in your specific firearm. Chris Baker from Lucky Gunner demonstrates how different buckshot loads, particularly 00 Buck, perform at common indoor distances, highlighting the impact of shell design and wads on pattern consistency. The expert assessment underscores the need for shooters to pattern their own chosen loads to ensure effective and safe performance.

This guide details the process of creating DIY wax slugs from standard birdshot shells, involving cutting the shell, mixing lead shot with melted wax, and reloading the hull. The video demonstrates their significantly higher impact energy compared to birdshot, as evidenced by tests on cinder blocks and a Chinese PLA helmet, though accuracy is noted to be less precise than standard slugs. The host, an experienced firearms instructor, also compares their cycling reliability in a semi-automatic shotgun to cut shells.

This expert-level review from Shark Coast Tactical details the Beretta 1301 Tactical Mod 2, comparing it to the Benelli M4 and highlighting its features for combat and competition. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, discusses its lighter weight, faster cycling 'Blink' gas system, and ease of loading. Notably, the video addresses ATF import restrictions on higher-capacity magazines for the 1301, explaining how ghost loading can still maximize capacity.

This video explores various flashlight mounting options for the Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun, including the Mod 2 variant. The creator discusses their personal purchasing decisions, provides close-up views of the mounts, shares their opinions, and demonstrates the installation process. The video also briefly mentions high-temp zip ties, prep pads, and sanding pads as related items. A link to a Beretta 1301 playlist and social media channels are included for further engagement and support.

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.
