The little fart as the exploding slug was perfect. Such a tiny payload isn't going to compare to the energy of the projectile itself and this demonstrated it wonderfully.
Explosion itself wasn't anything compared to just a slug going through the gel. As a non-medical person, I wonder if it is enough heat that there'd be additional burn trauma in flesh, causing additional pain with the wound that it may better incapacitate an attacker in a non-fatal wound?
@@GryphonBrokewing eh, if it fragmented like a typical grenade, it could theoretically send shrapnel out from the point of impact. Itd be like a jacketed hollow point on roids, if i were to assume.

The actual wording is the weapon can't be made to just wound or disfigure. The idea that the 5.56 was made to wound is untrue since the round is slightly more deadly than the round from an AK-47. The reason being is the AK-47 passes through the body while the 5.56 bounces around the body giving it a better chance to hit a vital organ.
War crimes are only illegal in war, hence the phrase "war crime" Hollow points are war crime territory but they're legal for use because we don't use them in war.

I bought some gimmick rounds at a gun show like 10 years ago. The only ones worth spending money on are dragon’s breath. Not for any practical usage outside of arson, but just for funsies and the cool factor.
The dragons breath is hundreds or thousands of small pieces of burning magnesium flying very fast, it might not blow you to pieces but it will burn and maim for sure.
@ATruckCampbell Just imagine for a second right that instead of magnesium it was white phosphorus.And you get shot in the face😰😰😰😰 My dad had horrible stories from Vietnam about white Phosphorus and nay palm burns

Thing is that the "exploding shotgun round" is such an obvious gimmick. An actual explosive (not just "exploding" as in it flies apart on impact and has some kitchen match compound in the nose) is possible. Steel body, lead or copper rifling band impact fuse in the nose and a bursting charge of PETN. Basically a Mk 211 Raufoss round with a thinner wall (because it's not being pushed as hard) and no penetrator or incendiary effect. And automatically a "destructive device" with all the paperwork that that entails. Definitely *not* an over the counter purchase at your local gas station.
During the Cold War, I carried a shotgun on COINOPS in Central and South America. The only ammo we were issued was 00 buckshot, but we all really wanted some flechette rounds. 😆 Of course, none of us had ever tried or even seen any of them. 🤣
Sometimes the zombies, theyre coming from all sides huh. Am i also the only one whos a fan of the snake video game in the grand theft auto 5 online penthouse tv.

There was a video game in tbe computer of the black ops 1 menu screen break as well
I remember in the year 2000 finding a Mossberg 88 home security cruiser at a pawnshop brand new for $200, and they had the needle rounds the napalm explosive shells & some others in three packs. They also had the large thumper rounds in packs of three; your previous video about the break grenade launcher reminded me of all of that
this right here is why I love shotguns more than any other gun. The SHEER versatility they have. Shells for ANY situation, simple shotguns, complicated shotguns, small ones, big ones.
The most devastating shotgun round I've ever fired is a cut, 3 inch 000 buck 12 gauge shell. Like a laser beam and went through half inch of hardened steel at 25 yards with a 8.5 inch shotgun. Wild actually. Only footage I have that I didn't edit yet due to the current Cananda thing happening

Love that flechette rounds that are considered a warcrime due to their extreme maiming is marketed as a great home defense round
The flechettes came from centuries ago by shooting through brush the enemy was taking cover from. Imo I think the effect would be like s birdshot but very damaging. Won't instant kill but make the target wish it would. I'm probably wrong on that but looks sickly brutal to get hit with it
Which is funny because the US military has a flechette tank round with thousands of them.
The actual wording is the weapon can't be made to just wound or disfigure. The idea that the 5.56 was made to wound is untrue since the round is slightly more deadly than the round from an AK-47.
