This video from Tática Civil tests the penetration capability of a 9mm round on an SUV tire. Using a Girsan Witness 2311 pistol equipped with a Gideon Judge red dot, the presenter demonstrates that a single 9mm shot can effectively disable a tire by causing it to deflate rapidly. Multiple rapid shots were fired to assess if the tire would explode under pressure, which it did not, though projectiles penetrated the tire and impacted the vehicle's chassis.
This video title, "Será que gelo consegue parar uma bala?" (Can ice stop a bullet?), explores the ballistic properties of ice when subjected to firearm projectiles. It investigates the potential of ice as a projectile barrier, a concept often seen in fictional scenarios but rarely tested in reality. The video likely delves into the physics of bullet impact and penetration through a frozen medium, possibly comparing different types of ice or bullet calibers to determine their effectiveness in stopping or deforming rounds.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 caliber sniper rifle against hay bales. A single hay bale proved insufficient, with the .50 BMG round penetrating and hitting the ballistic dummy. However, two stacked hay bales successfully stopped the round, demonstrating their effectiveness as a ballistic barrier alternative.
This video tests the bulletproof capabilities of a standard beer keg by firing progressively larger calibers into it. While smaller rounds like .22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, and .44 Magnum failed to penetrate completely, the 5.56 Green Tip round successfully passed through both sides. The 12-gauge slug caused significant damage but also did not exit.
This YouTube video features a penetration test where hockey pucks are shot with a 5.56mm projectile to determine how many are required to stop the bullet. The video focuses on ballistics and the effectiveness of the 5.56mm round against a specific type of barrier.
This YouTube video compares the steel penetration capabilities of two popular rifle calibers: .223 Remington and .22-250 Remington. The testing focuses on mild steel (A529 grade 55) at a distance of 50 yards, aiming to determine if sheer velocity is the sole determinant of penetration power. The description also notes the inclusion of an affiliate link for a brass catcher and emphasizes that the tests are for entertainment and educational purposes, with a warning about the dangers of shooting steel.
This video explores the potential of oobleck (a cornstarch and water mixture) as a cost-effective ballistic testing medium. Through a series of tests with various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, the experiment demonstrates oobleck's surprising ability to slow and stop projectiles. The results highlight how factors like bullet velocity and surface area influence penetration depth, offering valuable insights into terminal ballistics.
This YouTube Shorts video features a comparison between blue plastic .308 ammunition and a water jug. The content appears to be a visual demonstration, likely testing the ballistic performance or penetration capabilities of the ammunition against the water jug. Given the focus on ammunition and a clear comparison, it falls into the category of a range test or demonstration of equipment capabilities.
This video showcases the destructive capabilities of the CMMG Mk47 Mutant chambered in 7.62x39mm, firing in full-auto. Expert instructor Eric from Iraqveteran8888 demonstrates the rifle's performance on various targets including watermelons, sodas, raw chickens, and concrete blocks. The video highlights the significant energy of the 7.62x39mm cartridge even from a short 10-inch barrel.
This video from Demolition Ranch explores the surprising bullet-stopping capabilities of Silly Putty. Host Matt Carriker tests various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, against a 150lb mass of the material. The results demonstrate that Silly Putty, due to its non-Newtonian properties, can effectively stop many common firearm rounds, though higher-powered rounds like the .50 BMG can penetrate.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of a 9mm Sig Sauer P365 using ribeye steaks as a ballistic medium. A Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) round passed through all 12 steaks, while a Federal Hydra-Shok hollow point round was stopped in the 10th steak, demonstrating significant expansion and tissue damage. The experiment highlights the difference in terminal ballistics between FMJ and expanding hollow point ammunition.
This experiment tested how many bags of Doritos are required to stop a 9mm Hornady Critical Duty +P round. It was determined that 35 bags of Doritos were sufficient to halt the bullet's penetration. The recovered 135-grain FlexLock bullet showed significant expansion, indicating its effectiveness even after passing through a large quantity of snack food.
