This video marks the final episode of DemolitionRanch, featuring a series of high-impact tests and a farewell from host Matt Carriker. The content includes realistic ballistic dummy testing for grenade blast suppression and the destructive power of a Pak 40 anti-tank gun. The finale involves multiple tanks firing simultaneously, showcasing extreme destructive capabilities. The video highlights the channel's legacy of extreme testing and entertainment.
This video details the chaotic yet successful execution of a large-scale personal firearm collection sale hosted by Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch at Apache Rifleworks. It highlights the immense fan turnout, crowd management strategies like 'line skip' challenges, and the sale of various firearms including NFA items and California-compliant models. The event showcases Carriker's authority as a leading firearms influencer and business owner in the tactical space.
This guide details an experimental technique for extreme sound suppression of firearms, as demonstrated by Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch. It involves using a moving blanket and even burying a suppressed rifle in dirt to achieve maximum noise reduction. The video highlights the effectiveness of subsonic ammunition and the inherent quietness of bolt-action platforms compared to semi-automatics. Expert insights into NFA regulations and practical application of sound dampening are provided.
This video from DemolitionRanch explores what happens when ammunition is fired outside of a gun's chamber. Host Matt Carriker, a recognized firearms expert, uses various calibers and a chronograph to demonstrate that without the containment and pressure of a chamber, ammunition exhibits significantly reduced velocity and energy. The experiments highlight that primers may ignite, but full powder burn and projectile propulsion are severely compromised, making such scenarios largely ineffective and potentially hazardous.
This guide details the testing of Ordnance Group's Tac-79 and Tac-D 37mm launchers, highlighting their legal status as flare launchers distinct from NFA-regulated firearms. It covers the use of various Exotic Ammo rounds, including specialized effects like the 'Whistle Pig' and 'Superbreaker,' and demonstrates the construction and firing of a 'Triple Dumper' setup. The content emphasizes safe handling and understanding of 37mm projectile effects, presented with the high energy and expertise characteristic of Demolition Ranch's content.
Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch conducts a skeptical and high-energy review of budget tactical gear purchased from Temu, including body armor, helmets, and shoes. He tests their ballistic resistance against various calibers (.22 LR, 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot, .44 Magnum) and assesses the quality of steel targets. The review highlights significant performance differences between cheap imported gear and established brands, emphasizing the importance of verified protection ratings.
This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring Matt Carriker and Brandon from Texas Plinking, explores the extreme ballistics of a .50 BMG round fired from a Bushmaster BA50. The experiment involves firing the bullet through various curved metal pipes, including a full 360-degree loop, to test its ability to maintain trajectory and energy. The tests demonstrate the robust nature of the .50 BMG round and the Bushmaster BA50 rifle, with expert insights into firearm mechanics and terminal ballistics.
This video from Demolition Ranch, featuring Matt Carriker, tests the effectiveness of four different homemade body armor plates against an AR-15 style rifle chambered in 5.56mm. The results indicate that none of the viewer-submitted armor plates provided adequate protection, as all were penetrated by the rifle rounds. The demonstration highlights the critical importance of using certified and reliable body armor for personal safety.
This video from DemolitionRanch showcases an experimental test of homemade body armor against a .338 slug, specifically using 8.6 Blackout subsonic rounds. The host, Matt Carriker, demonstrates the effectiveness of various layered materials, including a composite, in stopping or significantly slowing the projectile. The test highlights the potential of DIY solutions in ballistic protection, though it's presented in an informal, experimental context.
This guide details an experimental procedure for testing the ballistic resilience of a running V8 engine. It outlines a series of tests using various calibers, from .22 LR to a .50 BMG Raufoss Mk 211, against different engine components. The experiment utilizes high-speed cameras to capture the effects of impacts, demonstrating how specific rounds can cause catastrophic engine failure. This is presented by Matt Carriker, an expert in experimental automotive and firearm testing.
This guide details a rigorous testing procedure for firearm optics, comparing an authentic EOTech Holographic Weapon Sight against a significantly cheaper clone purchased from Temu. The tests include recoil, impact, and water submersion to evaluate durability and reliability. The speaker, Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch, provides an expert assessment based on his experience with firearms and market pricing, highlighting the stark differences in quality and performance between the genuine and counterfeit products.
This video from Demolition Ranch, featuring experts from Q, tests the effectiveness of various homemade body armor plates against 5.56x45mm NATO and 8.6 Blackout rounds. The tests reveal that common homemade armor designs offer minimal protection against high-velocity rifle rounds and even struggle against some heavy subsonic .30 caliber projectiles. The discussion highlights the importance of proper ballistic materials and design for effective protection.
