SHOTGUN SLUG - MOSSBERG 590

This video details a ballistic gel test of a powerful shotgun slug, referred to as the 'OG spicy slug.' The test involves a specific setup using ballistic gel blocks, a thin wood barrier, and cinder blocks to analyze projectile performance, fragmentation, and wound cavity creation. The instructor highlights the slug's extreme destructive power, noting its ability to obliterate targets and create significant damage, even shattering a cinder block.

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 provides an expert-level overview of various 12-gauge shotgun ammunition types, demonstrating their characteristics and effects, particularly when fired from a suppressed Mossberg 590. The instructor, with clear expertise, explains the differences in recoil, stopping power, and projectile types, ranging from standard buckshot and slugs to exotic and less-lethal loads. It's a practical guide for understanding ammunition diversity in a hypothetical survival scenario.

This "Blast Off Mondays" episode from Tactical Hyve features a ballistic test of a Mossberg 930 shotgun firing Winchester PDX1 ammunition (slug and buckshot combination) at a bowling ball from 25 yards. The test demonstrated that the PDX1 ammunition cracked the outer shell of the bowling ball but did not penetrate its solid inner core. The video also previews a future challenge involving a Glock 19 and a race car helmet.

This video tests the durability of self-healing targets against 9mm handgun rounds and shotgun slugs. The former CI officer demonstrates how different calibers affect the targets, noting that while 9mm causes minor cracks and penetration, shotgun slugs cause significant damage, rendering parts of the target unable to self-heal. The instructor highlights the importance of shooting at an angle to make targets move.

This video demonstrates the 'ghost loading' technique for several popular pump-action shotguns. It confirms that the Benelli M4 and Remington 870 can be ghost loaded, increasing capacity by one round. However, the Mossberg 500/590 series, Ithaca Model 37, and Winchester 1200/1300 series are shown to be incompatible with this loading method due to design limitations.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms instructor, conducting a unique bullet penetration test. He uses 12 Ozark Trail 12-inch cast iron skillets to determine how many rounds from various calibers and firearms, including 9mm, .45 ACP, 500 S&W Magnum, 7.62x39mm, 5.56mm, 5.7x28mm, and 12 Gauge slugs, can penetrate the cookware. The results offer practical insights into the ballistic performance of different ammunition types against a common household item.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian provides an expert-level demonstration of the Serbu BFG-50A rifle's capability against a railroad track. Sarkissian, a high-level firearms enthusiast, showcases the .50 BMG caliber's power with various ammunition types, including the specialized Raufoss Mk 211 Mod 0, highlighting its penetration through thick steel. The content offers valuable insights into terminal ballistics and the performance of heavy caliber rounds.

This video demonstrates a unique application of the X Products Can Cannon, a gas-operated launcher compatible with AR-15/M16 lowers, to launch an M67-style fragmentation grenade using .223 Blanks. Expert experimentalist Edwin Sarkissian showcases the process of loading and firing the device towards a frozen lake, highlighting the launcher's ability to hold the grenade's spoon in place until firing. The demonstration results in a significant explosion and ice shatter upon impact.

This guide details a ballistic test comparing a .50 Cal Spotter round against a 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass panel using a Serbu BFG-50A rifle. The test, conducted by firearms enthusiast Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates the significant destructive potential of specialized .50 BMG ammunition, highlighting differences in impact effects between incendiary spotter rounds and standard FMJ rounds. The expert-level demonstration emphasizes the importance of understanding ammunition types and their performance against protective materials.
