This video details the explosive results of shooting compressed oxygen tanks with high-powered firearms. Initial tests with smaller calibers failed to penetrate, but .338 Lapua Magnum and .50 BMG API-T rounds caused massive fireballs and sustained torch effects due to the oxygen fueling combustion. The experiment highlights the extreme reactivity of oxygen and the destructive potential when combined with high-velocity projectiles.

This video tests an alien-themed target with high-caliber firearms. The .50 BMG Serbu BFG-50A, using API-T rounds, created clean pass-throughs due to high velocity, failing to produce an explosive effect. A .50 AE Desert Eagle with hollow points offered a different terminal ballistics result. The creator suggests binary explosives might be needed for a more dramatic impact.

This video tests the stopping power of various firearms against giant gummy bears. A .50 caliber rifle with API-T rounds was stopped by the 6th gummy bear at point-blank range. An FN SCAR 17 in 7.62x51mm stopped in the 3rd bear, while a Desert Eagle 50AE was stopped by the 4th bear. The experiment highlights differences in projectile energy and construction.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of .50 caliber rounds against 1-inch thick copper plates. An API-T round successfully penetrated all three plates, creating a significant crater on the first. A standard AP round penetrated the first two plates but was stopped by the third, showing less damage. The experiment highlights the destructive power of .50 BMG and differences between specialized ammunition types.

This video tests incendiary and tracer ammunition fired into water. It confirms that both 5.56 tracer and .50 BMG API/API-T rounds continue to burn underwater, producing visible effects. The experiment highlights the significant impact and visual spectacle of .50 BMG rounds underwater, with a portion dedicated to high-speed slow-motion analysis.
