Skittle Riot Control

This video tests the effectiveness of 37mm Skittles-filled grenades as less lethal ammunition for crowd control. Initial tests showed insufficient energy, but adjustments to the reloader resulted in a more effective dispersion pattern. While the Skittles did not penetrate water jugs or ballistic gelatin, they caused significant impact and sugar residue on a target, indicating a less lethal, but impactful, crowd dispersal capability.

This video demonstrates the testing of a 37mm grenade, dubbed the 'Marine Blaster 3000', for less-lethal riot control applications. The presenter uses a TAC 79 grenade launcher and conducts impact tests on paper targets, a water jug, and simulated riot heads to assess the projectile's effectiveness and energy transfer. Adjustments were made to the ammunition load by a professional reloader to achieve desired performance.

This video demonstrates three distinct 37mm grenade rounds: the Shocker, Super Breaker, and Flashbanger. The Shocker produces a concussive blast, the Super Breaker features an air burst with smoky ribbons and sparks, and the Flashbanger emits an incredibly bright flash. The presenter highlights the loading mechanism of the launcher, which involves pressing a button to drop the barrel, inserting the round, and then firing.

This video demonstrates the use of 37mm flashbang grenades fired from an Attack 79 grenade launcher. While technically classified as flares for wildlife and animal control, they produce a significant visual flash and a moderate audible report. The demonstration highlights their effectiveness in creating a bright flash, even in daylight, and their potential tactical applications.

This video showcases the use of a 37mm grenade launcher, specifically the TAC 79, with Ordinance Group's 'Whistle Pig' and 'Freedom Round' projectiles. The presenter demonstrates firing both rounds, emphasizing their use for animal control rather than fireworks. Tips on reloading casings and a recommendation for Squared Ammunition for common calibers are also provided.

This video discusses the US Army's $11.6 million contract for Mossberg shotguns, primarily the 590 A1 variant. The speaker, a former senior non-commissioned officer and master marksmanship trainer, highlights the reliability, simplicity, and effectiveness of Mossberg pump-action shotguns in military applications like breaching and gate guard duties. He contrasts them with semi-automatic options, emphasizing their durability in austere environments.

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.
