This video features World's Strongest Man Eddie Hall and host Scott testing the recoil management of extreme caliber firearms. They compare their physical responses to the recoil of a 500 Magnum, 416 Rigby, 577 T-Rex, and a 4 Bore rifle. The results demonstrate that even extreme physical strength has limits against the immense forces generated by these powerful weapons, with Eddie Hall consistently showing less movement than Scott due to his greater body mass.
This video showcases the immense power of extreme caliber rifles against simulated grizzly bear threats. It features the CZ 550 in .416 Rigby, the rare A-Square .577 Tyrannosaur, the .600 Overkill, and the .700 BMG, culminating in a test of the colossal 4 Bore rifle. The 4 Bore, firing a 2150-grain projectile, demonstrates over 10,000 ft-lbs of energy and significant penetration, highlighting its extreme capabilities.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of various extreme-caliber firearms against a 1,500-pound Lefebure bank vault door. While some powerful rounds like the 375 H&H and 416 Rigby penetrated, others like the 458 Lott, 500 Nitro Express, 700 Nitro Express, and the massive 4 Bore rifle failed to fully breach the door, highlighting the door's robust construction. A 577 Tyrannosaur round successfully penetrated, demonstrating its extreme power.
This video from Kentucky Ballistics features an extreme ballistic test pitting a massive 4 Bore rifle against a Russian VANT ballistic shield. The shield, designed to stop heavy threats, faces a barrage of calibers from handguns to powerful safari rounds and ultimately the 4 Bore. The test provides valuable insights into the limitations of ballistic armor against specialized, high-energy rifle cartridges.
This video tests the stopping power of several large-caliber safari rifles, including the 700 Nitro Express, 600 Nitro Express, .577 Tyrannosaur, 500 Nitro Express, and 416 Rigby, by shooting giant gummy bears. The 700 Nitro Express penetrated 9 gummy bears, the 600 Nitro Express and .577 Tyrannosaur penetrated 12, and the 500 Nitro Express also penetrated around 12. The 416 Rigby was the most accurate, staying on track and penetrating 15 gummy bears.
