*Armor Piercing Slug* vs Body Armor!( did it stop it?) #civtac #shotgun #bodyarmor #ammo

This video from Tática Civil demonstrates a unique ballistic test using 12 Gauge shotgun shells loaded with Jawbreaker candies. The instructor, showing experienced firearm handling, tests their impact on a water jug and a Clear Ballistics gel head, comparing the spread to standard birdshot. The results indicate these candy rounds deliver significant energy and wider spread than conventional shotgun shells, posing a greater threat than their composition might suggest.

This video explores the potential legality of various unconventional 12 gauge shotgun loads for airsoft use, featuring tests with bouncy balls, glow sticks, cayenne pepper, and airsoft BBs. The presenter, demonstrating experienced authority, clearly shows that none of these loads are suitable or safe for airsoft due to excessive power and potential for harm.

This video details ten ammunition types prioritized by preppers, focusing on rational decision-making based on availability, production infrastructure, use case breadth, trade value, and shelf life. It highlights calibers like .357 Magnum for its dual-use capability with .38 Special, .57x28mm for its armor penetration potential, and .300 Blackout for its subsonic/supersonic flexibility. The analysis also covers .45 ACP for its robust domestic production, 12 gauge for its versatility, 5.56 NATO due to the vast AR-15 platform base, and 9mm Luger as the most accessible and affordable option. The instructor emphasizes proactive stockpiling before shortages occur.

This video argues that a 12-gauge shotgun is the most versatile firearm if one could only own a single gun. Instructor Eric from Iraqveteran8888 details how different ammunition types, from birdshot for fowl to slugs for large game and barrier-penetrating rounds, make the shotgun adaptable to numerous situations. While acknowledging potential downsides like recoil and capacity, he emphasizes its broad utility as a defensive, hunting, and general-purpose tool.

This video demonstrates a unique ballistic test using 12 Gauge shotgun shells loaded with jawbreaker candies. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, fires these shells at a water jug, paper target, and a Clear Ballistics Joe Fit Head. The results show that these candy projectiles carry significant energy, create a wide spread, and can cause substantial damage, debunking the notion that they are harmless.

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.
