This review of the AEA Zeus Mark II .72 caliber bullpup air rifle highlights its exceptional power, exceeding 1,500 ft-lbs of energy, making it comparable to many firearms. The host, from 1ShotTV, demonstrates its performance with heavy projectiles and discusses its legal advantages, such as not requiring a background check in many areas. The rifle features a bullpup design for compactness and a powerful muzzle brake.
This video tests the surprising effectiveness of an SKS rifle equipped with a scope mounted solely by electrical tape. Despite the primitive setup, the rifle demonstrated remarkable accuracy and zero retention over hundreds of rounds, even at extended distances. The experiment highlights that functional firearm performance can sometimes defy conventional expectations, though the method is not recommended for practical use.
This video details a ballistic gel test of a powerful shotgun slug, referred to as the 'OG spicy slug.' The test involves a specific setup using ballistic gel blocks, a thin wood barrier, and cinder blocks to analyze projectile performance, fragmentation, and wound cavity creation. The instructor highlights the slug's extreme destructive power, noting its ability to obliterate targets and create significant damage, even shattering a cinder block.
This video provides an expert-level comparison of M855 Green Tip and M855A1 5.56mm ammunition, featuring detailed ballistic gel testing and hard barrier penetration analysis. The host, demonstrating significant experience, highlights the superior terminal ballistics and fragmentation of the M855A1, while also discussing the historical context and limitations of the M855 Green Tip.
This review of the AEA Megalodon .50 cal pump-action air rifle, presented by 1ShotTV, highlights its impressive power and unique features. The host demonstrates its destructive capabilities on various targets and its accuracy at 50 yards. The video also provides a practical guide to refilling the PCP system using a GX Pump, emphasizing the rifle's robust construction and ease of operation for enthusiasts seeking high-performance airguns.
This video tests the effectiveness of homemade ceramic shotgun slugs, comparing their performance to traditional lead slugs. The tests include impact on steel, penetration through ceramic tiles, and terminal ballistics on a ballistic dummy head. The ceramic slugs demonstrate potential as frangible projectiles for door breaching and reduced over-penetration in self-defense scenarios, though with less raw energy than lead slugs.
This video conducts a concrete penetration test comparing the AR-15 (chambered in 5.56x45mm) and the AK-47 (chambered in 7.62x39mm). The test utilizes 100lb concrete slabs within 5-gallon buckets. The results indicate that the 7.62x39mm caliber is significantly more effective at penetrating hard barriers like concrete compared to the 5.56x45mm caliber.
This review from 1ShotTV details the Grimburg Gavle, a powerful CO2-powered less-lethal pistol. The host, an established reviewer, demonstrates its impressive kinetic energy transfer through various tests, including puncturing metal and shattering ceramic tiles, and embedding projectiles in a ballistics dummy. The Gavle features Glock-compatible sights, is optics-ready, and can fire both kinetic rounds and pepper balls, with specific considerations for loading irritant projectiles. It's presented as a potent alternative for self-defense scenarios where lethal force is not required or desired.
This video features a comprehensive test of homemade bulletproof glass created by 3r Ballistics. The host, from 1ShotTV, evaluates three different panels, starting with pistol calibers like 9mm and .44 Magnum, progressing to rifle rounds such as 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm, and culminating with a .50 BMG test. The results demonstrate the varying effectiveness of each homemade panel against different threats, highlighting the material compositions and their impact resistance.
This expert guide details the terminal ballistics testing of the AEA Zeus .72 caliber air rifle, presented by a knowledgeable host from 1ShotTV. The video demonstrates the rifle's immense power using a realistic ballistic gel torso, showcasing the effects of various heavy projectiles. The assessment highlights the rifle's potential for large game hunting, comparing its energy output to conventional firearms.
This video demonstrates the failure of homemade rifle-rated body armor created by a viewer. The armor, constructed with materials like tinfoil, construction paper, pennies, and possibly ceramic, was tested against various handgun and rifle calibers. While it successfully stopped 9mm, 10mm, and 5.7x28mm rounds, it failed against common rifle rounds like .223 Remington, 7.62x39mm, .45-70 Government, and .30-30 Winchester, only stopping a .22 Long Rifle.
