This video tests the lethality of 12-gauge birdshot fired from a trap alarm. While the birdshot did not penetrate a ballistic gelatin head, it caused significant brass casing fragmentation and ejection, posing a serious eye hazard. The test suggests birdshot from a trap alarm is not lethal but is unsafe for unprotected eyes.

Quick Summary

Testing reveals that 12-gauge birdshot fired from a trap alarm is not lethal, failing to penetrate a ballistic gelatin head. However, the high pressure causes significant brass casing fragmentation and ejection, creating a severe eye hazard. While not fatal, it is extremely dangerous to unprotected eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 12-gauge birdshot from a trap alarm lethal?

Based on testing with a ballistic gelatin head, 12-gauge birdshot fired from a trap alarm is not lethal. While it caused superficial damage, it did not penetrate the gelatin, suggesting it lacks the energy for fatal wounds.

What are the primary dangers of using birdshot in a trap alarm?

The main danger is severe eye injury. The high pressure from the ammunition causes the brass casing to fragment and eject forcefully, posing a significant risk to unprotected eyes, even if the projectile itself is not lethal.

Does 12-gauge birdshot fragment extensively when fired from a trap alarm?

In this test, the 12-gauge birdshot projectile did not fragment extensively. It impacted the ballistic gelatin as a single unit, though the brass casing did break apart significantly due to the high pressure.

Who supplied the trap alarm used in the test?

The trap alarm and associated setup used in this test were supplied by Hickory Flatboard. The video expresses thanks to them for providing the equipment for the experiment.
