How Effective is the World's Most POWERFUL Shotgun Slug???

This ballistic gel test compares Sinterfire and Fiocchi Guardian Blue .40 S&W ammunition. Both rounds demonstrated significant fragmentation, creating large wound cavities. The Fiocchi Guardian Blue appeared to produce a slightly larger average wound cavity. Both met FBI penetration standards through denim, with the Sinterfire retaining 57 grains and the Fiocchi retaining 51.9 grains through denim.

This video demonstrates the surprising lethality of a Jolly Rancher candy fired from a shotgun. The experiment tests its impact on water bottles and a fragmentation vest, revealing its potential to act like a projectile with significant energy transfer. The findings suggest that while not conventional ammunition, such improvised projectiles can possess dangerous terminal ballistics.

This ballistic chicken test compares the terminal performance of 223/5.56mm and 300 Blackout rifle rounds. The test utilized 55-grain V-Max for 223/5.56mm and a 110-grain Nosler Varmageddon for 300 Blackout, both fired from 16-inch barrels. The 300 Blackout demonstrated more energy transfer and penetration, resulting in more violent expansion and destruction within the ballistic medium compared to the 223/5.56mm.

This video provides a ballistic gel test comparing CCI and Federal 22LR shotshell ammunition. The test reveals that both brands offer very limited penetration, with most shot pellets penetrating less than 2 inches in bare ballistic gelatin. The CCI brand showed slightly better penetration than the Federal. The instructor notes these rounds are not suitable for hunting small game like squirrels and are best suited for pest control of insects or very small vermin at close range.

This video demonstrates a practical test of ballistic penetration using a Mossberg 500 Series 12 Gauge shotgun and Oriented Strand Board (OSB). The host, an enthusiastic content creator specializing in recreational shooting, systematically tests how many sheets of OSB are required to stop a shotgun slug. The experiment highlights the significant penetration power of a 12-gauge slug, eventually stopping after penetrating 12 sheets of OSB.

This video details a ballistic gel test comparing Federal Punch and Aguila Interceptor .22LR ammunition. The test, conducted from a Ruger 10/22 Charger with a 10-inch barrel, aimed to determine which round offered superior penetration. The Federal Punch consistently outperformed the Aguila Interceptor in penetration depth, establishing its dominance in this specific test.

This video provides an expert-level assessment of BB gun lethality for self-defense, featuring an experienced instructor from 1ShotTV. The test uses a realistic ballistic dummy head to compare a Daisy Red Rider BB gun, an Umarex MP40 CO2 replica, and a Gamo Wildcat Whisper pellet rifle. The findings indicate that BB guns are ineffective for self-defense, while pellet rifles show some potential but lack the stopping power of conventional firearms.

This video provides an expert-level demonstration of the BulletSafe VP3 Level 3A bulletproof vest's capabilities. The host, exhibiting high authority and expertise in ballistics and armor ratings, tests the vest against various calibers up to .44 Magnum and 12-gauge buckshot using a realistic ballistic dummy. The results highlight the vest's effectiveness in stopping rounds while also illustrating the potential for significant blunt force trauma and skeletal damage from high-energy impacts.

This review covers the Crosman DPMS SBR, a full-auto BB gun mimicking an AR-15 SBR. The host, demonstrating experienced authority, details its select-fire capability, dual CO2 power, 25-round capacity, and performance metrics like 430 FPS and 1400 RPM. The review includes practical demonstrations of loading, accuracy testing with minimal recoil, and penetration tests on various targets, concluding it offers a realistic full-auto experience for recreational shooting.

This video from 1ShotTV, featuring an experienced firearms content creator, experimentally tests the viability of a flare gun for self-defense. The tests reveal significant fire hazards when firing into household materials and inconsistent performance against clothing and ballistic targets. The Orion 12-gauge flare gun's single-shot capacity and slow reload time are highlighted as major drawbacks for defensive use. The conclusion strongly advises against using flare guns for self-defense due to these risks and limitations.
