This video demonstrates a professional firearms instructor's test of 'chain shot' ammunition, a concept adapted from naval warfare for shotguns. Three variants—fine, medium, and coarse chain—were fired into ballistic gel to assess penetration and energy transfer. The fine chain showed minimal penetration, the medium chain penetrated about 4 inches, and the coarse chain exhibited dangerous ricochet potential, leading the instructor to conclude it's best left to historical naval contexts.

Quick Summary

Chain shot ammunition, adapted from naval warfare for shotguns, was tested in ballistic gel by a firearms instructor. Fine chain showed minimal penetration (1 inch), medium chain penetrated about 4 inches, while coarse chain exhibited dangerous ricochet potential due to high energy transfer, making it unsuitable for modern use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is chain shot ammunition and how does it perform?

Chain shot is a type of ammunition, historically used in naval warfare, adapted here for shotguns. It involves loading chains into the barrel. Tests show fine chain has minimal penetration, medium chain penetrates about 4 inches, and coarse chain poses significant ricochet risks due to high energy.

Is chain shot ammunition safe for modern firearms?

Based on ballistic gel testing, coarse chain shot is extremely dangerous due to its unpredictable ricochet potential. While historical naval use is noted, its use in modern firearms is strongly discouraged by experts due to safety concerns and lack of controlled performance.

What were the results of testing different chain shot sizes in ballistic gel?

Fine chain shot penetrated only about 1 inch into ballistic gel. Medium chain shot penetrated approximately 4 inches (10 cm). Coarse chain shot, however, bounced off the gel with significant energy, highlighting its hazardous ricochet characteristics.
