This video from Civilian Tactical tests the lethality of blowdarts loaded into 12 gauge shotgun shells against a ballistic gel head. The experiment, conducted by a tactical content creator, yielded surprising results showing minimal penetration. The host demonstrates safe firearm handling and proper use of protective gear throughout the test.

Quick Summary

Testing revealed that blowdarts loaded into 12 gauge shotgun shells are not as deadly as one might assume. The darts often hit sideways and tumbled, failing to penetrate a ballistic gel head target effectively, with a standard blowdart gun showing better results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are blowdarts loaded into shotgun shells deadly?

In a ballistic gel test conducted by Civilian Tactical, blowdarts loaded into 12 gauge shotgun shells showed surprisingly low penetration and were not found to be deadly against a ballistic gel head target. A standard blowdart gun proved more effective.

What happened when blowdarts were fired from a shotgun?

When blowdarts were fired from a 12 gauge shotgun, they tended to hit sideways and tumble due to instability, significantly reducing their penetration power against a ballistic gel head target.

What equipment was used in the blowdart shotgun test?

The test involved a pump-action 12 gauge shotgun with Woox wood furniture, custom-loaded blowdart shells, and a Cranium Target ballistic gel head. The host wore AR500 body armor and eye/ear protection.

Why did blowdarts fired from a shotgun fail to penetrate effectively?

The light weight and aerodynamic instability of the blowdarts, combined with the shotgun's blast, caused them to tumble and hit sideways upon impact, negating any potential for deep penetration into the ballistic gel.
