Are These Magnetic Balls Lethal?

This video tests the 'Botfly' shotgun shell, focusing on its large hollow-point design and terminal ballistics. The test involved water jugs for hydrostatic shock, a paper target for accuracy, and ballistics gelatin to observe expansion. The shell demonstrated significant expansion and energy transfer, creating a large wound cavity.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of the 12-Gauge Full Metal Kraken Slug from Civilian Tactical. Expertly presented with a focus on safety and data, the test utilizes ballistics gelatin and a water jug to showcase the slug's devastating impact and unique 8-petal expansion pattern. The demonstration highlights the effectiveness of this specialized ammunition for tactical applications.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the effectiveness of a double slug shell, featuring two stacked lead slugs in a single 12-gauge cartridge. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, conducts tests using ballistics gel and water targets to assess lethality and energy transfer, recovering a completely flattened slug. Accuracy is evaluated at 35 yards, showing a relatively tight grouping for a multi-projectile load. The testing methodology includes proper range safety and clear explanations of ballistics principles.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of a 13mm socket fired from a shotgun. The projectile was found to be surprisingly accurate and capable of significant penetration, creating a large wound channel in ballistic gelatin. The test highlights the potential lethality of improvised projectiles when fired from a suitable platform.

This video tests the effectiveness of microscopic rubber ducks as 37mm riot control rounds fired from a TAC 79 grenade launcher. While the ducks demonstrated a wide spread pattern suitable for crowd dispersal, they lacked the energy to penetrate ballistics gelatin or significantly impact a water jug, indicating limited effectiveness for riot control purposes. The testing involved paper targets for spread, a water jug for energy, and ballistics gelatin heads as 'rioters'.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test of experimental shotgun shells loaded with three bouncy balls, marketed as 'Bouncy Ball Shotgun Slugs' by Hickory Flat Boars. The test, conducted by Joe Fitt from Tática Civil, includes impact assessments on a water jug, paper targets, and a ballistic dummy head. The results show significant damage, including tearing apart a water jug and creating deep craters in the ballistic dummy, with some projectiles disintegrating. The instructor emphasizes the lethal potential and warns against being hit by this ammunition.

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.
