This video demonstrates an experimental test of custom 12-gauge shotgun slugs made from Himalayan sea salt. The host fires these slugs at various targets, including an improvised body armor vest, to assess their accuracy, impact energy, and lethality. The results suggest that while the salt slugs fragment, they retain enough mass and energy to penetrate soft targets, indicating a potential for incapacitation.

Quick Summary

Civilian Tactical conducted an experiment firing custom 12-gauge shotgun slugs made from Himalayan sea salt. The results showed fragmentation on impact but sufficient energy and accuracy to penetrate an improvised body armor vest, indicating a surprising level of lethality for this unconventional projectile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was tested in the Civilian Tactical shotgun video?

The video tested the lethality and effectiveness of custom 12-gauge shotgun slugs loaded with chunks of Himalayan sea salt. These experimental rounds were fired at various targets, including an improvised vest, to assess their penetration and impact energy.

How effective were the salt slugs against the improvised body armor?

The salt slugs demonstrated the ability to penetrate an improvised vest made of duct tape and plastic bags. This suggests that while the projectiles fragment, they retain enough energy to pose a significant threat to soft targets.

What kind of shotgun was used in the experiment?

A black pump-action shotgun was used to fire the custom salt slugs. The video also briefly mentioned GunPrime ammunition and BulletSafe body armor.

What were the results of the salt slug test on different targets?

On cardboard, the salt slugs fragmented but remained accurate. A soda jug showed high impact energy but minimal penetration. The improvised vest was successfully penetrated, indicating lethality.
