Federal Shorty: Será que passa no teste do FBI?

Published on July 29, 2025
Duration: 1:02

This video tests Federal's "Shorty" 12-gauge shotgun shells against the FBI's standard penetration test. The "Shorty" shell, designed to be smaller than a regular 12-gauge shell, contains 15 pellets encapsulated in flux to prevent deformation. The test involved firing the shell into ballistic gel to measure penetration depth.

Quick Summary

The Federal "Shorty" is a mini 12-gauge shotgun shell containing 15 pellets encapsulated in flux to prevent deformation. In ballistic gel tests simulating the FBI standard, two projectiles reached a second gel block, indicating significant penetration potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Federal "Shorty" 12-gauge shell?

The Federal "Shorty" is a mini 12-gauge shotgun shell designed to be significantly smaller than a regular 12-gauge shell. It contains 15 pellets encapsulated in flux to prevent deformation during firing.

How does the Federal "Shorty" perform in the FBI penetration test?

In a ballistic gel test simulating the FBI standard, the Federal "Shorty" shell showed promising results. While the FBI test requires 12 inches of penetration through a barrier, two projectiles reached a second gel block even without the barrier.

What is the purpose of flux in shotgun shells?

Flux is a white substance used in some shotgun shells, like the Federal "Shorty," to prevent the pellets from deforming upon firing. This helps maintain pellet integrity and consistent flight.

What are the key components of the Federal "Shorty" shell tested?

The Federal "Shorty" shell tested contained a load of 15 pellets. These pellets were packed with a white substance called flux, which serves to prevent pellet deformation during the firing process.
