Frequently Asked Questions

How did custom shotgun rounds loaded with drill bits perform on a soda bottle target?

What was the accuracy of drill bit shotgun rounds on a paper silhouette target?

On a standard paper silhouette target, most of the drill bit projectiles from the custom shotgun round hit the center mass area. However, one projectile deviated significantly, landing off-target.

What was the penetration depth of drill bit shotgun rounds in ballistic gel?

The drill bit shotgun rounds showed limited penetration in the ballistic gel head. One projectile entered the eye area to a depth comparable to the instructor's thumb, indicating less than expected penetration.
