Chalk Launcher

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 from Civilian Tactical compares the effectiveness of a Tac-79 37mm launcher and an Orion 12-gauge flare gun for hypothetical self-defense scenarios. The host, demonstrating expertise in tactical gear, highlights the intimidation factor of the 37mm launcher but notes its lack of stopping power. The flare gun is presented with a strong caution against misuse. Ultimately, both are deemed suboptimal defensive tools.

This video demonstrates the use of 37mm flash banger grenades fired from an Attack 79 grenade launcher. The presenter highlights the intense flash produced by these grenades, noting their primary purpose is for animal and wildlife control. While the sound and explosion are less significant, the visual effect is powerful, capable of temporarily disorienting targets.

This video demonstrates a test of 37mm skittle grenades as less-lethal ammunition for crowd control. Initial tests showed insufficient energy, but adjustments led to effective dispersion and impact. The projectiles were assessed for their ability to deter without causing lethal injury, with impacts on ballistic gel and a water jug analyzed.

This video compares three types of smoke devices: a hand-activated smoke grenade (TLSFX SP90), a grenade-launched smoke munition (Ordnance Group via TAC 79), and an emergency smoke signal. The TLSFX SP90 is highlighted for its rapid, dense white smoke output, effectively obscuring a large area quickly. The grenade-launched option provides good coverage but less volume than the SP90. The emergency signal produces a longer-lasting, but less dense, orange smoke. The SP90 is deemed most effective for immediate, dense visual cover.

This video tests three 37mm grenades from Desk Pop, including a 'crackle round' and two unidentified blue rounds. One blue round failed to fire, while another discharged only a few feet with stabilizing fins. The final round's casing blew out, revealing orange chalk, identified as a chalk marker round. The speaker notes the unique 38 Special casing embedded in the base of the blue rounds, contrasting with standard primers.

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.
