Civilian Legal Flash Bangs!

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 tests the effectiveness of "rubber duck" projectiles fired from a 37mm T79 grenade launcher as a form of crowd control. The test involves assessing dispersion on paper targets, energy impact on a water jug, and simulated protester engagement using ballistic gelatin heads. While the projectiles showed good dispersion and flew quickly, their energy transfer was insufficient to incapacitate simulated targets, leading to a conclusion that they are not a precise or highly effective crowd control munition.

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 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 a practical test of inexpensive $2 gardening gloves for firearm use, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. The test involved shooting 1000 rounds of 9mm ammunition to evaluate the gloves' durability, comfort, and overall value. The findings suggest that while showing wear, these gloves offer a surprisingly robust and cost-effective option for shooters, potentially lasting thousands more rounds.

This video demonstrates a unique ballistic test using custom shotgun rounds loaded with drill bits, as suggested by AI. The testing, conducted by an experienced individual from Civilian Tactical, involves firing these rounds at various targets including a soda bottle, a paper silhouette, and a ballistic gel head. The results provide insights into the projectile's spread, penetration, and overall effectiveness, offering a practical, albeit unconventional, look at terminal ballistics.

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.
