1 Ballistic Products, Inc. 12 Gauge, 20 Gauge and 410 Bore Shotgun Ammunition Terminal Performance

2 Introduction In March of 2014, Ballistic we began Products, communicating Inc. completed with Ballistic the terminal Products, ballistic Inc. regarding testing of the some of our terminal shotshell ballistic products testing and of the some ultra of slow their motion shotshell recording products of and the the interaction ultra slow of motion the shot recording pellets of with the interaction ballistic gelatin of the blocks. shot pellets Given with the technical ballistic gelatin acuity of blocks. our customer Given the base technical and the acuity need of to their provide customer results base and that the are need relatable to provide to test results data otherwise that are relatable publically to available, test data otherwise test medium publically of available, ten percent the test ballistic medium gelatin of ten was percent chosen ballistic for the testing. gelatin was This chosen media (10% for the concentration testing. This 250A media porcine (10% concentration gelatin) is particularly 250A porcine suited gelatin) for this particularly task as it has suited been for the this domestic task as law it has enforcement been the and de domestic facto commercial law enforcement standard for de three facto decades. commercial standard for three decades. The ammunition tested during this test event is was listed provided below: by the customer and were as below: Gauge Shell Length Projectile Buckshot High Velocity Steel (BBB) ITX-10 Duck # Nickel Plated Lead # ounce Thug Slug ITX-13 Goose # /8 ounce Thug Slug gr Thug Slug The test site was configured as below: Velocity Weapon 7 feet Screen GELATIN 10 feet H S V With the ultra slow motion camera in use being the Photron SA-5 Color. Atmospheric conditions at the test site were 76 F and 80% relative humidity and took place on 04 April 2014.

3 Results 12 gauge 00 Buckshot Shot Number Impact Velocity (ft/sec) Average Penetration Depth (inch) Pellet Surface Area (in 2 ) Kinetic Energy Transfer up to 12 depth (ft-lbf) Penetration depth is the maximum straight-line distance traveled by the pellet into the gelatin block. Pellet surface area is conceptually the same as expanded diameter for measuring hollowpoint expansion but the scientifically-relevant units of surface area are used in place of linear inches. KE Transfer up to 12 depth is a measure of the potential for causing damage up to and including the FBI required penetration depth for defensive ammunition.
