This video from Civilian Tactical explores the terminal ballistics of shooting moissanite (a diamond simulant) from an Axor Arms folding shotgun. The experiment tests accuracy, energy transfer, and penetration against a shrapnel vest, providing insights into the effectiveness of such projectiles against body armor. The host demonstrates a high-energy, experimental approach to ballistic testing.

Quick Summary

The Civilian Tactical experiment tested the lethality of moissanite projectiles fired from a 12 Gauge shotgun. While accurate and capable of destroying a water jug, the projectiles failed to penetrate a shrapnel vest, indicating they are not deadly against body armor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can shooting diamonds from a shotgun be considered deadly force against body armor?

Based on the Civilian Tactical experiment, shooting moissanite (a diamond simulant) from a 12 Gauge shotgun did not penetrate a shrapnel vest, suggesting it is not an effective round for defeating body armor.

What shotgun was used in the "How Deadly is a Diamond?" video?

The video features an Axor Arms folding shotgun, a single-shot 12 Gauge firearm with a compact folding design, used for ballistic testing of moissanite projectiles.

What were the results of testing moissanite projectiles against a shrapnel vest?

When fired from a 12 Gauge shotgun, moissanite projectiles impacted a BulletSafe shrapnel vest, causing a dent in the material and a dent in the wood backing, but failed to achieve penetration.

What kind of tests were conducted in the "How Deadly is a Diamond?" video?

The experiment included accuracy tests using a cardboard target, energy transfer tests with a soda bottle, and a lethality test involving penetration of a shrapnel vest with moissanite projectiles.
