Flechettes vs Gel Balístico: o que acontece quando disparamos?

This video highlights the overlooked value of budget-friendly shotguns, particularly the Maverick 88 and simple single-shot models, for preppers and those seeking reliable, no-frills firearms. It contrasts the elitism in the gun community with the practical needs of survivalists, emphasizing mechanical reliability over cosmetic features. The content suggests that for under $200, one can acquire a dependable firearm that functions in adverse conditions, making it a smart choice for preparedness.

This video from Civilian Tactical tests whether a .22 caliber tracer round can ignite a mini propane tank. The experiment, conducted with a Volquartsen Arms Mamba pistol, utilized a control flame to isolate the tracer's effect. The results, analyzed in slow-motion, indicated that the tracer round itself did not ignite the propane; the secondary torch flame was the cause. The conclusion is that .22 tracers are unlikely to ignite propane tanks.

This video from 704 Tactical features an expert-level demonstration of the G2 Research R.I.P. 12-gauge slugs. The demonstration utilizes a Cranium Target ballistic gel face within a vehicle setting to showcase the projectile's performance upon impact, emphasizing its fragmentation and energy transfer characteristics. The instructor's high authority level and familiarity with specialized defensive ammunition are evident.

This video demonstrates the performance of Firequest Iron Fist less-lethal shotgun rounds. The tests show that while these lead-filled beanbag rounds do not penetrate clothing, they deliver significant kinetic energy, capable of destroying targets like water jugs. The testing methodology highlights a controlled approach to evaluating less-lethal ammunition effectiveness.

This video tests Firequest flechette shotgun rounds against a body armor plate. While the flechettes penetrated the front of the armor and lodged in the rear fabric and backing material, they did not fully pass through to hit a target behind the plate. The host notes their historical use in Vietnam and demonstrates a structured, albeit destructive, testing methodology.

This test evaluates Firequest's Flash Thunder Grenade 12 Gauge rounds against Safe Life Defense body armor. The rounds produced a significant flash and bang but no shrapnel. While the body armor successfully stopped the blast, the intense heat and flash caused severe surface damage, leaving the armor on fire. This demonstrates the pyrotechnic and distraction capabilities of these rounds.

This video explores the theoretical and practical outcome of loading a 50 BMG cartridge into a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment, conducted by a hobbyist, demonstrates that while the 50 BMG cartridge surprisingly fits, the flare gun's firing mechanism and primer strength are insufficient to ignite it. The test highlights the significant differences in primer resistance between ammunition types.

This video debunks the myth that shooting upwards is safe, explaining the lethal terminal velocity of falling projectiles. It showcases the Canik Mete MC9 Prime with a Gideon Valor optic and demonstrates the use of 9mm shot shells for controlled, less dangerous demonstrations, highlighting their unique projectile dispersal.

This video debunks the myth that a .50 BMG round passing near a target can be lethal due to shockwave. Using a ballistic mannequin head and a Big Kahuna Firearms Raptor-50 rifle, the test demonstrated that while the .50 BMG round impacted and destroyed a concrete block behind the target, it did not affect the mannequin or the cardboard placed near it. The conclusion is that a near miss from a .50 BMG is not fatal.

This video conducts a destructive test comparing the impact of .22 LR and .50 BMG rounds on a ballistic head model. The .22 LR caused minimal damage, while the .50 BMG completely destroyed the head, highlighting the vast difference in energy and destructive potential between the two calibers. The test also showcases the Raptor .50 BMG upper receiver as an accessible way to experience .50 BMG ballistics on an AR-15 platform.
