life is good today we're going to be
studying the effectiveness of putting
twenty twenty two caliber pellets in a
federal target shell the idea is to
create an intermediate close-quarters
defense round that has more power than
just using birdshot but a lot less power
recoil and over penetration than using
double ought buck instead of just nine
double-lock duck talks we'll be sending
a swarm of twenty twenty-two caliber
pellets at a velocity of around 1,200
feet per second whatever you're ready
this is nuts first of all we have five
of these things at this target one of
them right there in the slug hole get
your retina slow-roll one of you skipped
off the edge here looks like another one
skipped off the edge there did they
actually go through no none of through
this is the only one that broke the
surface of this up okay however this is
what's cool just sitting up behind it
this one went right of the cylinder and
made up perfect 22 caliber hole these
guys over here this bladder do they're
also we'll see pretty decent power Wow
at bad guy in your house range the
spread was pretty comparable to
double-aught buckshot now birdshot would
never have penetrated that steel propane
bottle now the pellets appear to be
still tumbling through the air despite
being nose-heavy and having a skirt
our ballistic jelly gummy bears are
about three inches thick and the pellets
went right through without any problem
again the spread was quite decent all
the pellets landed in around a 12-inch
area now for reference the white metal
backstop were using measures 14 inches
by 14 inches could it be the perfect
home defense round let's find out go
ahead so at living room ranges I counted
16 impacts here 16 out of about 20 all
the way down from his belly button area
some of them when I almost hit out here
on the edge almost missed but most of
the group was up here right over his
heart point and aim was right here in
the dead center of the pink circle and
then this I cut into this carrier so I
could peel one of these guys out for you
there it is there's the hit it was
hidden sideways there little pellet
flying sideways still now for those of
you who like to invent a perfect home
defense rounds this wouldn't be bad
this wouldn't be bad however why would
you go to all the trouble of crafting
this thing when you can just probably go
out and get yourself a good number four
shot and do the same amount of damage or
better yet stick with some standard old
double-aught buck yes the block is a
good defense round but having a round
that has very low recoil such as this
but also patterns quite well it may
actually have some useful applications
the pellets definitely carry a lot of
energy as you can see it hitting this
Kevlar level-3 body armor panel now one
pellet did manage to go through the vest
but it hit that vulnerable tilly's heel
edge of the best as we've seen before
there's almost no protection on the edge
of a Kevlar
s retailer group about the size of OGIS
power fence here so not a bad little
group now of course there's no such
thing as the magic bullet that will take
out a bad guy but won't go through your
walls now a lighter projectile will lose
a lot of energy traveling through
something like this one inch thick
particle board 40 yards can you hit the
stop sign yep take awhile for the hit
yeah at 40 yards we could definitely see
just how much speed and overall energy
these pellets lose absolutely none of
the pellets made it through this thin
aluminum stop sign and even though greg
was aiming directly at the stop sign
many of the pellets actually landed
quite short some of them probably
bounced off the ground and hit the soft
side but there you have it a weird
hybrid shotgun round that probably lands
somewhere between birdshot and buckshot
it probably has some kind of application
somewhere anyway I hope you guys enjoyed
this thanks for watching what did you
say
what do you say What did he say what'd
he say
there you go
told you I don't believe in firearms you
will
