Can Water Put Out a Tracer? #gun #ammo #civtac

This guide details practical and less conventional uses for red tracer ammunition, emphasizing its utility for target signaling and observing bullet paths during rapid fire. It also cautions against misusing tracers for fire-starting. The instruction comes from an experienced shooter demonstrating proficiency and safe handling.

This video from Civilian Tactical features an experienced instructor testing the durability of a D.A. Self-Healing Target against 1000 rounds of 9mm ammunition fired from a Girsan pistol equipped with a red dot and weapon light. The test demonstrates the target's impressive resilience, with minimal substantial damage after the high volume of fire. The video also includes a promotional segment for Ammo Squared's ammunition delivery service.

This video details a 1000-round durability test on a $49 Harbor Freight Braun 1000 Lumen Tactical Rail Mount LED Light attached to an EAA Witness 9mm pistol. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical, aimed to assess the light's resilience under significant recoil. The instructor, demonstrating experienced firearm handling, found the budget light to be surprisingly robust, remaining securely attached and functional throughout the entire 1000-round challenge.

This guide details a 1000-round durability test of the O-Sight SE red dot optic mounted on a Witness2311 CMX pistol. The test involved proper mounting procedures, including torquing screws to 17 inch-pounds with Loctite, followed by extensive live fire. The results indicate the O-Sight SE maintained its zero and structural integrity throughout the rigorous test, despite significant cosmetic fouling. This provides valuable insight into the optic's resilience under demanding conditions, as demonstrated by an experienced shooter from Civilian Tactical.

This guide details how to use the 9 Reloaded speed loader for 9mm ammunition, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. The process involves placing a Glock-style magazine into the loader, scooping ammunition, and using a button to rapidly load the magazine. The video highlights the efficiency of this tool, enabling faster shooting sessions, but also notes the consequence of depleting ammunition more quickly.

This video demonstrates the unique effects of blue-tipped 9mm ammunition, focusing on its explosive performance against soft targets. Expertly guided by Civilian Tactical, the demonstration includes tests on soft dirt, a ballistic dummy head, and a vehicle, highlighting its potential applications in survival scenarios. The speaker, an experienced firearms instructor, showcases safe handling and effective use of this specialized 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.
