This video tests the durability of a 150-pound anvil against various calibers, including 9mm, 10mm, .44 Magnum, .50 AE, 12-gauge slug, 5.56, .243, .308, and finally a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers only left minor marks, the .50 BMG, even with an incendiary round, failed to penetrate the anvil, creating a significant crater but ultimately being stopped. The test highlights the extreme stopping power of the .50 BMG against solid objects.

This video tests the durability of a 1909 wrought iron anvil against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers like 9mm and .44 Magnum only cause lead splatter, larger rounds like the .308 create noticeable divots. The .50 BMG API round, despite creating a small crater and fireball, was ultimately stopped by the anvil, demonstrating its extreme resilience.

This video, "Triggers and what they actually are: Anvil 0150," dives into the fundamental mechanics of firearm triggers. It breaks down a trigger into three core components: trapped energy, the mechanism trapping that energy, and the point where these two elements interact. The description emphasizes that while the concept is simple, many struggle with its application, explicitly stating this is NOT a tutorial and advising viewers against attempting any actions without proper knowledge and capability. The video aims to educate on the principles rather than provide step-by-step instructions.

This video analyzes a Remington Nylon 66, identified as a Mohawk 10C variant. The unit presented with significant rust and failure to feed issues, prompting a conservation, cleaning, oiling, and inspection process. The description emphasizes that this is not a tutorial but rather a demonstration of what viewers need to learn, cautioning against attempting repairs without sufficient skill. The video highlights the historical significance of the Nylon 66 and its use of plastics in firearms.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of an anvil against a powerful .50 BMG round. The title directly poses the question of an anvil's bulletproof capabilities and specifies the caliber used for the test, indicating a destructive testing or durability evaluation focused on a common workshop item against a high-powered rifle round.

This video demonstrates a difficult rust removal process on a firearm. The creator emphasizes that this is not a tutorial and that re-bluing is a necessary follow-up step, urging viewers to ensure their bluing skills are proficient before attempting such a restoration. They explicitly state that individuals unable to perform at a high level should not attempt this procedure. The video offers support links for their Patreon.

This video tests the durability of a Forge cast iron anvil against various calibers, from 9mm to .50 BMG. Smaller calibers like 9mm, 10mm, .44 Magnum, and .223 failed to penetrate, causing only minor damage or indentations. The .450 Bushmaster widened existing craters but also failed to penetrate. However, a single .50 BMG round completely shattered the anvil, demonstrating its immense power.
