Should You Throw The Kitchen Sink At It?

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.

This video provides an expert look at several unique and 'crazy' 9mm ammunition types, including Dragon's Breath, Tracer, Exploding Rounds, and Birdshot. The demonstration, conducted by an experienced individual on an outdoor range, utilizes ballistics gel to showcase the terminal effects of these specialized rounds. It offers insights into their unique properties and potential applications, emphasizing safety considerations for handling such ammunition.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of the 12-Gauge Full Metal Kraken Slug from Civilian Tactical. Expertly presented with a focus on safety and data, the test utilizes ballistics gelatin and a water jug to showcase the slug's devastating impact and unique 8-petal expansion pattern. The demonstration highlights the effectiveness of this specialized ammunition for tactical applications.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test of experimental shotgun shells loaded with three bouncy balls, marketed as 'Bouncy Ball Shotgun Slugs' by Hickory Flat Boars. The test, conducted by Joe Fitt from Tática Civil, includes impact assessments on a water jug, paper targets, and a ballistic dummy head. The results show significant damage, including tearing apart a water jug and creating deep craters in the ballistic dummy, with some projectiles disintegrating. The instructor emphasizes the lethal potential and warns against being hit by this ammunition.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the ballistic performance of a unique shotgun shell loaded with bouncy balls. The instructor, demonstrating experienced authority, conducts tests on water jugs, paper targets, and ballistic gelatin to assess penetration, spread, and energy transfer. The findings suggest this ammunition is capable of causing significant damage, with a warning issued against being hit by it.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the volatility and penetration capabilities of blue-tipped 9mm ammunition. The demonstration involves shooting a Ford Explorer door to observe the effects, highlighting the ammunition's explosive potential on soft targets and its ability to cause significant damage and smoke when impacting harder surfaces like a car door. The presenter, exhibiting experienced analysis, notes the surprising outcome of the door opening after being shot.

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.
