This entry details the 'No Wasted Space' concept in shotgun shells, exemplified by the Hickory Flat Boars Havoc BB Shell. The video demonstrates how filling gaps between 00 Buckshot with BB pellets maximizes damage output. Expert insights from Civilian Tactical cover ballistics testing on various media, highlighting the shell's effectiveness for high-damage applications. The guide emphasizes safe firearm handling during testing.

Quick Summary

The 'No Wasted Space' concept in shotgun shells, demonstrated by the Hickory Flat Boars Havoc BB Shell, fills gaps between 00 Buckshot with BB pellets. This maximizes projectile density and damage potential, as shown in tests on water jugs, car doors, and ballistics gelatin, making it suitable for high-damage applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'No Wasted Space' concept in shotgun shells?

The 'No Wasted Space' concept involves filling the empty gaps between larger projectiles (like 00 Buckshot) in a shotgun shell with smaller pellets (like BBs). This aims to increase the total number of projectiles fired and maximize potential damage upon impact.

How does the Hickory Flat Boars Havoc BB Shell work?

The Havoc BB Shell is a 12-gauge load designed with the 'No Wasted Space' principle. It combines 00 Buckshot with smaller BB pellets, ensuring that the space within the shell casing is utilized efficiently to deliver a denser, higher-impact payload.

What are the demonstrated effects of the Havoc BB Shell?

Testing showed significant damage. A water jug test resulted in extreme mangling, a car door test revealed surface damage and deep penetration, and ballistics gelatin tests indicated massive surface evisceration and deep buckshot penetration.
