Controle de tumulto com Skittles: funciona mesmo?

This video tests the effectiveness of 37mm Skittles grenades as a less-lethal riot control option. Initial tests showed insufficient spread and energy. After professional adjustments, the grenades demonstrated significant spread, capable of covering a crowd, and left dents on a table but did not penetrate ballistic gelatin heads, indicating a potential for less-lethal application.

This video tests the effectiveness of a 37mm 'Marine Blaster 3000' grenade, loaded with wax crayons, for less-lethal crowd control. The testing involved firing at paper targets and simulated riot heads to assess projectile energy and impact. Adjustments were made to the projectile's charge to achieve desired effects, demonstrating a method for tuning less-lethal munitions.

This video showcases the use of a 37mm grenade launcher, specifically the TAC 79, with Ordinance Group's 'Whistle Pig' and 'Freedom Round' projectiles. The presenter demonstrates firing both rounds, emphasizing their use for animal control rather than fireworks. Tips on reloading casings and a recommendation for Squared Ammunition for common calibers are also provided.

This video explores a spectrum of less-lethal force options, from basic tools like cattle prods to advanced launchers like the Byrna SD and 40mm grenade launchers. Matt Carriker and Donut Operator demonstrate and test various kinetic, irritant, and crowd-control projectiles on ballistic targets. The content highlights the escalating impact and potential for damage even with less-lethal rounds, emphasizing the importance of understanding their capabilities and limitations.

This video tests the impact energy and penetration capabilities of bean bag rounds, a type of less-lethal shotgun ammunition. Through tests involving a water jug, peanut butter, and ballistic gelatin, the video demonstrates that while these rounds are unlikely to be fatal, they possess sufficient force to incapacitate or deter a target. The presenter notes the importance of understanding the energy transfer of such munitions.

This video demonstrates the effects of three different 37mm grenades: the 'Chocante' (shocking), 'Super Destruidora' (super destructive), and 'Explosiva de Luz' (light explosive). It showcases their deployment and visual impact, highlighting differences in their explosive effects, such as concussive force, aerial bursts with smoke and sparks, and intense light flashes. The presenter tests each grenade to determine which is most effective.

This video explores the compatibility of a 50 BMG cartridge with a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment reveals that while the cartridge fits, the flare gun's mechanism cannot ignite the tough 50 BMG primers. However, it successfully fires a standard 12 gauge blank, highlighting the difference in primer hardness. The content is presented from a hobbyist perspective, focusing on experimental curiosity rather than professional instruction.

This video from Tática Civil, featuring an expert instructor, explains the dangers of firing upwards due to projectile drop and terminal velocity. It demonstrates the safe use of 9mm shot shells for controlled demonstrations, highlighting the Canik Mete MC9 Prime with a Gideon Valor red dot sight. The instructor emphasizes crucial firearm safety protocols.

This guide details an experimental test to debunk the myth that a .50 BMG round passing near a target can be lethal. Using a ballistic mannequin, cardboard indicators, and a concrete backstop, the test demonstrates that a near miss from a .50 BMG round does not impart enough shockwave or air pressure to cause fatal injury, though the projectile itself possesses immense kinetic energy as evidenced by its impact on the concrete block. The test was conducted objectively by an individual with high authority, indicated by their empirical testing methods and proper safety protocols.

This video explores the surprising functionality of a realistic toy shotgun, the M870 by Dart Armory. The presenter tests if it can chamber and cycle real 12-gauge shotgun shells, comparing its operation to a Mossberg 590. The toy shotgun successfully loads, chambers, and ejects real shells, demonstrating a high degree of realism in its mechanical operation.
