This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of 'dime shot' shotgun shells, which are custom-loaded with US dimes. The host fires these shells into ballistic gel to assess penetration and deformation, noting significant damage and penetration depths. The experiment highlights the destructive potential of improvised ammunition against soft targets.

Quick Summary

Custom shotgun shells loaded with US dimes, known as 'dime shot', were tested for ballistic performance. Fired from a 12 gauge shotgun into Clear Ballistics gel, these shells achieved penetration depths of up to 12 inches, with the dimes exhibiting significant deformation upon impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'dime shot' ammunition?

'Dime shot' refers to custom-loaded shotgun shells where US dimes are used as projectiles. This experiment tests the ballistic performance and destructive capability of such improvised ammunition against standardized ballistic gel.

How deep did the dime shot penetrate ballistic gel?

In the conducted test, the dime shot shells demonstrated significant penetration, with some dimes reaching depths of up to 12 inches into the Clear Ballistics gel. Even shallow impacts showed penetration of around 2 inches.

What happened to the dimes after impact?

Upon impact with the ballistic gel, the dimes experienced severe deformation. They became significantly mangled and twisted due to the immense forces involved in penetrating the gel medium.

What materials were used in the dime shot test?

The test utilized custom-loaded 12 Gauge shotgun shells, specifically Fiocchi 70mm hulls, loaded with US dimes. The target medium was Clear Ballistics gel, and a pump-action shotgun was used for firing.
