This guide outlines a testing protocol for experimental chain shot shells, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. It details the setup for evaluating energy transfer, pattern spread, and lethality against simulated body armor. The results suggest chain shot is less lethal than a .22 caliber round, failing to penetrate homemade armor.

Quick Summary

Experimental chain shot shells fired from a pump-action shotgun create a linear 'snake' spread pattern. Testing showed they failed to penetrate homemade body armor, leading to a lethality assessment lower than a .22 caliber round. Targets included water jugs for energy and paper for spread analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is chain shot and how does it perform from a shotgun?

Chain shot is a type of custom ammunition where metal chains are attached to shotgun shells. When fired, it creates a linear or 'snake' spread pattern, unlike traditional shot. Testing indicates it has lower lethality than a .22 caliber round.

How was the lethality of chain shot tested in the video?

The lethality was assessed using a mannequin target equipped with homemade, duct-tape-reinforced body armor. The chain shot's ability to penetrate this armor was evaluated to determine its effectiveness and compare it to other calibers.

What were the key findings regarding chain shot's effectiveness?

The primary finding was that chain shot failed to penetrate the homemade body armor, getting jammed within it. This led to the conclusion that chain shot is less lethal than a .22 caliber projectile.

What types of targets were used to test chain shot?

A multi-target approach was used: a water jug to measure energy transfer, a paper target to observe the spread pattern, and a mannequin with homemade body armor to test penetration and lethality.
