Which Ammo Makes The Biggest Boom?

This video tests three exotic shotgun ammunition types to determine which creates the largest explosion upon impact. The Hickory Flatboards Bear Claw, the 'Meat Tenderizer' (a combination of bird shot, buck shot, and a slug), and the Extreme Marine are tested against a gallon jug of water. The 'Meat Tenderizer' is identified as the most explosive, completely destroying the jug.

This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test of 'chain shot' ammunition, an adaptation of historical pirate cannon shot, loaded into modern shotgun shells. The test evaluates the penetration of fine, medium, and thick chain shot. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, concludes that chain shot is impractical and potentially dangerous for modern use, best left to historical reenactments.

This video demonstrates a unique ballistic test using 12 Gauge shotgun shells loaded with jawbreaker candies. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, fires these shells at a water jug, paper target, and a Clear Ballistics Joe Fit Head. The results show that these candy projectiles carry significant energy, create a wide spread, and can cause substantial damage, debunking the notion that they are harmless.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the effectiveness of chain shot, a historical pirate projectile, adapted into modern shotgun shells. The expert instructor details the historical context, tests three chain types (fine, medium, thick) for accuracy, impact on pineapples, water, and ballistics gelatin. The findings suggest chain shot is not a practical or deadly modern ammunition, best left to historical reenactments.

This video details an experimental test of custom shotgun shells loaded with drill bits, fired at various targets including a soda bottle, paper silhouette, and ballistic gel head. The presenter, exhibiting experienced authority, critiques the AI's suggestions for testing realism, particularly regarding pressurized targets. The results highlight the unpredictable nature of such projectiles, with some hits achieving center mass and others deviating significantly, like the 'rogue bit'. The video also features a promotional code for a ballistic gel head product.

This video tests the effectiveness of Hickory Flatbs 12 Gauge shotgun shells, which fire projectiles resembling marbles. The test utilizes ballistic gel to measure penetration depth and observe projectile behavior. The results indicate these shells are potentially suitable for home defense due to limited over-penetration.

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.
