They recreated it and using ballistic gel were able to get enough to cause injury. If the bullet struck an artery it could kill. It was a cool experiment.

However, the clips on the fuse box acted to steady the casing, acting as a VERY short barrel.
Must we go over this again?
They are not "clips", they are "magazines"

The CLIPS he is talking about are the ones that hold the lil round glass fuse

They are spring loaded, and they don't feed the rounds into a magazine, so they are magazines, clearly.
