The .17 HMR is an exceptionally effective varmint round, delivering high velocities and violent projectile fragmentation upon impact. While it causes significant tissue damage and temporary cavity effects, its shallow penetration limits its effectiveness against larger targets or in self-defense scenarios due to projectile disintegration. The .22 LR, surprisingly, offers deeper penetration with less dramatic expansion.
This video explores hypothetical alien defense scenarios using firearms and tactical gear against a ballistic dummy. It debunks common sci-fi tropes for defeating aliens and demonstrates the effectiveness of various calibers and weapons, from less-lethal rounds and crossbows to powerful handguns, shotguns, AR-15s, and a massive 4 Bore rifle. The experiment highlights the destructive power of conventional firearms against a simulated threat.
This video tests a custom 2-bore blunderbuss, 'The Mule,' against a ballistic grizzly bear head. Different loads, including cornflake shot, birdshot, double-aught buckshot, and a half-pound lead ball, are fired. The half-pound lead ball proved devastatingly effective, passing completely through the target.
