Chain Shot

This video demonstrates a unique approach to shotgun ammunition by testing 'Chain Shot' – custom loads using different types of chain. The presenter, exhibiting experienced authority, tests fine, medium, and thick chains against ballistic gel. The results show minimal penetration for fine chain, significant penetration for medium chain, and the thick chain bouncing off with considerable force, highlighting its unpredictable and potentially dangerous nature.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the effectiveness of chain shot, a historical pirate projectile, adapted into modern shotgun shells. The expert instructor details the historical context, tests three chain types (fine, medium, thick) for accuracy, impact on pineapples, water, and ballistics gelatin. The findings suggest chain shot is not a practical or deadly modern ammunition, best left to historical reenactments.

This guide details a ballistic gel test comparing the 10mm Auto and .357 Magnum calibers, as demonstrated by Kentucky Ballistics. Both calibers, using specific JHP ammunition, were tested for penetration in 16-inch Clear Ballistics gel blocks. The results showed full penetration for both, leaving the caliber debate unsettled. The video emphasizes practical comparison using specialized testing equipment.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the performance of experimental ceramic BB shotgun shells. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, conducts a thorough test using a semi-automatic 12 Gauge shotgun and various targets including ballistics gelatin. The analysis reveals interesting data on penetration and spread, offering an informative look at this unique ammunition type.

This entry details the testing of the Maverick Drone Systems Anti-Drone Round, a specialized 12-gauge ammunition designed for drone interdiction. The video showcases its unique 5-segment projectile with internal entanglement cords and demonstrates its terminal effects using ballistic gel. The high cost per round is noted, alongside promotional mentions for tactical deals.

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 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.
