This video from Edwin Sarkissian, an established tactical gear influencer, tests the ballistic resistance of an RTS Tactical Level 3A SWAT shield against various projectiles. The shield demonstrates effectiveness against traditional arrows and a 'Pocket Shot' launcher but is penetrated by a PSE Evoke 31 compound bow and a TenPoint Viper S400 crossbow. The testing highlights the varying capabilities of different projectile launch systems against ballistic armor.

This video tests the durability of Stretch Armstrong toys by shooting them with arrows from various bows. The experiment uses a traditional recurve bow, a compound bow, and a high-speed crossbow, with both field tip and broadhead arrows. The results show that the toys offer some resistance but are ultimately penetrated and damaged by the arrows, with broadheads creating larger wounds. The video also touches on arrow construction and the physics of impact.

This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring Matt Carriker, explores the ballistic resistance of historical helmets against modern airgun technology. The FX Ranchero (Arrow Edition) air pistol, a PCP-powered device firing specialized carbon fiber bolts, was used to test a replica Roman helmet and a US military helmet. The testing demonstrates the limitations of historical armor against even non-conventional projectile weapons, highlighting the importance of understanding material science and impact dynamics.
