How Lethal Is A Tenderizer Shotgun Slug?

This video explores 17 different types of 12-gauge shotgun ammunition, demonstrating their effects. It covers various slug weights (0.5 oz, 1 oz, 2.5 oz), buckshot (simple and double), and birdshot sizes (2 through 8). The instructor highlights the recoil differences between loads, noting Magnum and Double-X Magnum rounds as particularly powerful.

This video tests three unusual types of Firequest shotgun ammunition: rubber buckshot, flachettes, and birdshot. The rubber buckshot from Firequest, fired from a Maverick 88, had minimal impact and felt like a toy. The flachettes demonstrated significant penetration, piercing a fragmentation vest and wood. The birdshot was noted as the heaviest 12-gauge ammunition the presenter had ever fired, with an unexpectedly tight pattern.

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.
