This video from Kentucky Ballistics features a detailed test of various firearms against a life-sized Velociraptor replica to determine what it would take to defeat one. Host Scott, alongside Chris from Ballistic Dummy Lab, tests handguns from .22LR up to .500 Magnum, shotguns including a Spas-12, and rifles ranging from .45-70 to a .4 Bore. The experiment provides insights into the stopping power required for different threats, with a focus on practical application and the effectiveness of various calibers against a simulated large predator.
This video demonstrates a practical experiment to quantify firearm recoil using a wheelchair on a marked range. Experienced instructor Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, alongside Houston Jones, tests a variety of firearms from 9mm to a massive 4 Bore rifle. The experiment provides a visual and measurable comparison of how different calibers and firearm platforms generate recoil, offering valuable insights for shooters interested in understanding ballistic forces.
This video explores hypothetical alien defense scenarios using firearms and tactical gear against a ballistic dummy. It debunks common sci-fi tropes for defeating aliens and demonstrates the effectiveness of various calibers and weapons, from less-lethal rounds and crossbows to powerful handguns, shotguns, AR-15s, and a massive 4 Bore rifle. The experiment highlights the destructive power of conventional firearms against a simulated threat.
This video showcases the world's first 4-bore suppressor, developed in collaboration with Huxwrx and Silencer Shop, and mounted on a Christian Firearms 4-bore rifle. Expert instructor Scott demonstrates the immense scale of the 4-bore caliber, comparing it to common rounds and everyday objects. Live-fire tests reveal significant sound and recoil reduction with the suppressor, and armor penetration tests highlight the projectile's destructive power against ballistic protection.
This video pits various firearms, culminating in a massive 4 Bore rifle, against a 250-pound Atlas stone. While smaller calibers like .45 ACP and .44 Magnum only cause minor chipping, 5.56 NATO creates pits and .458 SOCOM begins to break off chunks. The 4 Bore, despite immense energy, heavily craters the stone but doesn't shatter it, requiring a jackhammer for final destruction.
This video, featuring Kentucky Ballistics and The Slow Mo Guys, provides an expert-level demonstration of extreme recoil and ballistics using calibers like the 950 JDJ, 4 Bore, 600 Overkill, 50 BMG, and 500 Bushwhacker. The content highlights the immense physical forces, muzzle blast, and projectile capabilities of these powerful firearms, captured in extreme slow motion. The speaker's high authority level is evident through detailed knowledge of these specialized firearms and their physics.
This video demonstrates an extreme ballistics test where Scott from Kentucky Ballistics collaborates with The Slow Mo Guys to fire a massive Punt Gun at thick bulletproof glass. The test utilizes a Phantom TMX 7510 high-speed camera to capture the impacts at 200,000 FPS, showcasing the destructive power of the 1lb lead ball and a 4-bore buckshot load against a previously tested ballistic-resistant barrier. The expert-level demonstration highlights the capabilities of both the firearm and the camera technology.
This video tests various firearms against a custom ballistic torso simulating Wolverine's adamantium skeleton. Smaller calibers like .22 LR, 5.7x28mm, 9mm, and .45 ACP failed to penetrate the metal structure. Larger handgun calibers like 10mm and .50 GI also proved ineffective. However, powerful magnum handgun rounds (.50 AE, .500 S&W) and rifle calibers (.30-06, .416 Rigby) caused significant damage, with the 4 Bore and a safe drop completely destroying the torso.
This video demonstrates how extreme physical strength and mass, as exemplified by Eddie Hall, can significantly mitigate the felt recoil and muzzle rise of powerful firearms. Expert Scott from Kentucky Ballistics uses a measuring board to quantify the difference in muzzle displacement between an average shooter and a world-class strongman, highlighting effective recoil absorption techniques through body positioning and mass utilization.
This video details a ballistic gel test of the massive 4 Bore rifle, described as the biggest rifle ever. Expert Scott from Kentucky Ballistics demonstrates the rifle's power, comparing its 2,150-grain projectile to common calibers like the .50 BMG. The test involves nearly 800 pounds of Clear Ballistics gel, showcasing the extreme wound channel and penetration capabilities of this rare large-bore firearm.
This video provides an expert look at a rare Double 4-Bore Shotgun from TGS Outdoors, featuring detailed technical specifications, historical context, and practical demonstrations of its immense power and recoil. The presenter, Johnny, showcases the firearm's significant weight, 101mm chamber, and the historical significance of the 4-bore caliber, noting its brief period of popularity.
This video provides an in-depth look at the incredibly rare and massive Watson double-barreled 4 Bore shotgun, highlighting its impressive size and weight (17lb 9oz). The content creators explore the gun and its formidable caliber, discovered at the Holts July 2023 sale. The video aims to educate viewers about this unique firearm and its place in history.
