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 from Kentucky Ballistics explores the physics of firearm recoil by testing what happens when various guns fire without being held. The experiment demonstrates how different calibers and firearm designs react to recoil forces when unbraced, providing insights into muzzle flip and firearm movement. The presenter, Scott, uses a range of calibers from 9mm to 50 BMG to illustrate these principles.

This guide details a method for testing firearm functionality and durability underwater, as demonstrated by Kentucky Ballistics. It emphasizes safety through remote firing and controlled environments. The tests reveal significant energy loss and potential for catastrophic failure in firearms when fired submerged, with larger calibers like .50 BMG causing extreme water displacement and structural damage.

This video features the powerful Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum revolver engaged in trap shooting. The description highlights the use of this specific handgun for the activity, indicating a focus on the practical application of a large-caliber firearm in a sporting context.
