Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when you fire jawbreaker candies from a 12 Gauge shotgun?

Firing jawbreaker candies from a 12 Gauge shotgun results in a wide spread pattern and significant impact energy. Tests show they can burst water jugs and cause substantial damage to ballistic gel, slicing open a simulated nose.

Are jawbreaker shotgun shells dangerous?

Yes, jawbreaker shotgun shells are not harmless. Despite being made of candy, they carry enough energy to cause significant damage, comparable to or exceeding traditional shotgun loads in certain aspects like spread and impact severity.

What is the spread of jawbreaker shotgun shells compared to birdshot?

Jawbreaker candies fired from a shotgun spread out much more widely than conventional birdshot. This wider dispersion means a less concentrated impact zone but covers a larger area.

Where can I buy ballistic gel heads for testing?

Ballistic gel heads, such as the Joe Fit Head, can be purchased from specialized suppliers like Clear Ballistics. Discount codes, like CIVTAC10, may be available from content creators who review these products.
