This guide details an experimental test of a flare gun and a shotgun against a television set. It covers target preparation, projectile firing, and damage assessment. The video highlights the significant difference in destructive power between a flare gun and a standard shotgun when used as projectiles against a common household item. The presenter, Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates safe handling practices throughout the experiment.

Quick Summary

An experimental test compares a 25mm flare gun's impact on a TV to a 12 gauge shotgun. The flare gun causes only minor surface damage, penetrating a few millimeters. The shotgun, however, easily penetrates the TV, creating large holes and demonstrating vastly superior destructive power.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference in penetration power between a flare gun and a shotgun against a TV?

A 25mm flare gun causes only superficial surface damage to a TV screen, penetrating just a few millimeters. In contrast, a 12 gauge shotgun easily penetrates the television, creating large holes and causing significant structural damage.

How did the presenter prepare the TV target for the experiment?

The presenter, Edwin Sarkissian, first spray-painted 'TV' on the screen. To make the target more flammable, he attached an Axe body spray can to the bottom of the television using duct tape before firing the flare.

What safety precautions were observed during the video?

The presenter demonstrated safe firearm handling, including maintaining muzzle discipline and firing in a controlled outdoor environment. Use of ear protection was also implied by the context of firearm discharge.

Which projectile was more effective at damaging the television?

The 12 gauge shotgun was significantly more effective at damaging the television. While the flare gun caused minimal damage, the shotgun rounds easily penetrated the screen and casing, destroying the unit.
