Qual é a minha munição menos letal?

This video compares the terminal ballistics of subsonic and supersonic .22 LR ammunition. Testing in ballistic gelatin, with and without a denim barrier, revealed that while supersonic rounds produced a larger wound channel, subsonic rounds demonstrated superior penetration, exceeding the FBI's 12-inch requirement. The instructor concludes that subsonic ammunition is not necessarily less lethal.

This video tests the performance of a "kitchen sink" 12-gauge shotgun shell, which contains a mix of buckshot, slugs, and birdshot. The "kitchen sink" shell was tested against a water jug and ballistic gelatin to demonstrate its explosive impact and penetration depth. Pattern testing on paper showed a tight grouping of buckshot and slug with birdshot spreading around the impact zone.

This video demonstrates the significant drawbacks of using cut shells in shotguns. The presenter shows how cut shells fail to cycle properly, leading to malfunctions. Furthermore, ballistic testing reveals that cut shells fragment upon impact, acting like a grenade and dispersing energy widely, which can be more devastating but less controlled than standard ammunition.

This guide details a technique for testing low-lethality ammunition, specifically the .22 Super Colibri and .22LR Rat Shot, using ballistics gel and cardboard targets. The Civilian Tactical host demonstrates how to assess penetration and spread patterns, highlighting the non-cycling nature of the Super Colibri and the pellet payload of the Rat Shot. The testing emphasizes understanding the performance characteristics for specific applications like pest control.

This video compares Hornady American Whitetail and Nosler AccuBond 150-grain rifle ammunition through accuracy testing and ballistic gelatin performance. The instructor demonstrates that while both rounds offer excellent accuracy and consistent velocity, their terminal ballistics differ significantly. The Nosler AccuBond excels in deep penetration and controlled expansion for larger game, while the Hornady American Whitetail provides rapid expansion and a wider wound channel for medium game like whitetails, at a lower cost.

This video demonstrates a pistol grip technique focused on kinesthetic awareness and recoil management, taught by Chris Reno. It also showcases the performance of DoubleTap Defense Equalizer ammunition through ballistic gelatin testing. The content is relevant for intermediate shooters looking to improve their handling and understanding of ammunition performance.

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 explores the surprising functionality of a realistic toy shotgun, the M870 by Dart Armory. The presenter tests if it can chamber and cycle real 12-gauge shotgun shells, comparing its operation to a Mossberg 590. The toy shotgun successfully loads, chambers, and ejects real shells, demonstrating a high degree of realism in its mechanical operation.
