*PENCIL SHOT* Deadly? (test) #gun #fullautofriday #demolitionranch #demoranch #civtac #bodyarmor

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the effectiveness of 'Bubble Buck' shotgun rounds, which combine bubblegum with 00 buckshot. Through a series of tests involving a water bucket, paper target, and ballistics gelatin, the host demonstrates that while the buckshot is lethal, the bubblegum component offers no practical ballistic advantage. The content highlights experimental ammunition and basic ballistics principles.

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.

This video demonstrates an experimental test of custom-loaded shotgun shells filled with powdered sugar, dubbed 'sugar shot' rounds. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical, assesses their lethality by measuring penetration through a paper target, energy transfer via a pineapple, and actual penetration of a shrapnel vest. The results indicate a significant impact and penetration capability, highlighting the potential effectiveness of such unconventional loads.

This video from Civilian Tactical demonstrates an experimental test of World War II-era tacks as shotgun ammunition. The host, exhibiting high authority and expertise, uses a Kel-Tec KSG25 shotgun to fire custom loads at various targets, including paper, water bottles, and a makeshift vest. The analysis confirms the high lethality and energy transfer of this unconventional ammunition, showcasing a structured approach to ballistics testing.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features Scott testing an experimental 'cube bullet' design fired from a massive Punt Gun named 'Fury.' The Punt Gun, a 9-foot-long, 110+ lb black powder firearm, generates over 30,000 ft/lbs of muzzle energy and 800 lbs of recoil. The tests evaluate the penetration and deformation of aluminum, titanium, copper, and tungsten cubes fired into water-filled trash cans, showcasing the significant impact of projectile density.

This video explores the potential lethality of homemade shotgun shells loaded with LEGO bricks. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating intermediate practical firearms experience, uses a GForce 1 Shotgun and ballistics gelatin to test accuracy and impact. The experiment concludes that while painful, these rounds are 'less lethal' and unlikely to be deadly, highlighting the importance of proper ammunition and testing methods.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
