Isso NÃO é Dragon's Breath!

This video tests the lethality of a projectile made from JB Weld epoxy, comparing its impact on ballistic gelatin to a standard 12-gauge round. The JB Weld projectile demonstrated significant penetration, exiting a gallon jug and creating a new wound channel in the gelatin, indicating high lethality despite poor accuracy. The speaker emphasizes that this is an amateur approach and advises against panic buying, suggesting a service for automatic ammunition accumulation.

This video from Civilian Tactical tests the effectiveness of improvised wax and tape slugs fired from a 12 Gauge shotgun. The host demonstrates that while these rounds can hit targets, their terminal ballistics are unpredictable, with projectiles often breaking apart or tumbling upon impact, significantly reducing their effectiveness compared to standard ammunition.

This guide details the construction and testing of a DIY 'Dragon's Breath' style shotgun shell using magnesium shavings and birdshot. The process involves carefully layering the components within a 12-gauge casing to achieve an incendiary effect upon firing. Live fire tests are conducted to evaluate both the pyrotechnic display and projectile accuracy, with an analysis of the results provided. The creator emphasizes safety precautions throughout the process.

This video explores the effectiveness of a "Piranha" shotgun shell loaded with steel nails. The creator fires three rounds into ballistic gel targets, examining the results. The demonstration is described as surprisingly powerful and impressive. The video also mentions the use of Clear Ballistics 20% Ballistics Gel NATO Blocks for testing. The creator encourages viewers to support the channel through Patreon and to like and subscribe.

This video from Civilian Tactical tests the lethality of DIY rock salt shotgun shells. The host, a firearms enthusiast, demonstrates how to construct these shells using Federal 12-gauge casings and rock salt. Using a raw chicken as a tissue analog, the test reveals that rock salt shells are surprisingly lethal at close range, causing significant tissue damage and debunking the myth of their non-lethal nature. The video emphasizes safe firearm handling and the importance of understanding ammunition capabilities.

This video details an experimental attempt to create functional ammunition by combining .22 caliber blanks with .22 airgun slugs. The experiment, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, resulted in a catastrophic firearm malfunction due to excessive back pressure from the blank's crimp. The host concludes this improvised ammunition is not viable, as it damaged the rifle's extractor and yielded poor ballistic performance compared to standard .22 LR rounds.

This video explores the compatibility of a 50 BMG cartridge with a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment reveals that while the cartridge fits, the flare gun's mechanism cannot ignite the tough 50 BMG primers. However, it successfully fires a standard 12 gauge blank, highlighting the difference in primer hardness. The content is presented from a hobbyist perspective, focusing on experimental curiosity rather than professional instruction.

This video from Tática Civil, featuring an expert instructor, explains the dangers of firing upwards due to projectile drop and terminal velocity. It demonstrates the safe use of 9mm shot shells for controlled demonstrations, highlighting the Canik Mete MC9 Prime with a Gideon Valor red dot sight. The instructor emphasizes crucial firearm safety protocols.

This guide details an experimental test to debunk the myth that a .50 BMG round passing near a target can be lethal. Using a ballistic mannequin, cardboard indicators, and a concrete backstop, the test demonstrates that a near miss from a .50 BMG round does not impart enough shockwave or air pressure to cause fatal injury, though the projectile itself possesses immense kinetic energy as evidenced by its impact on the concrete block. The test was conducted objectively by an individual with high authority, indicated by their empirical testing methods and proper safety protocols.

This video demonstrates a dramatic comparison between the .22 LR and .50 BMG calibers using a ballistic head model. The .50 BMG, when attached to an AR-15 platform via a Raptor upper, shows vastly superior destructive power, completely obliterating the model, while the .22 LR causes only superficial damage. The host's enthusiastic and experimental approach, combined with clear technical explanations, highlights the significant energy difference between these two rounds.
