This video demonstrates an experimental technique for attempting to curve a .50 BMG projectile through custom-bent galvanized steel pipes using a Serbu RN50 rifle. The experiment highlights the immense power of the .50 BMG round, showing a pipe rupture on a sharp bend and a successful navigation of a more gradual curve. The presenter, Edwin Sarkissian, showcases proficient handling of high-caliber firearms and an understanding of breech-loading mechanics, emphasizing safety with proper protection and remote firing.

This video demonstrates the concept of skipping a bullet off steel plates. The experiment aims to show that a projectile can indeed bounce off a steel target and hit a secondary target. The presenter emphasizes the importance of understanding projectile behavior when shooting steel.

This video demonstrates a high-risk ballistic experiment using a Serbu BFG-50A .50 BMG rifle to detonate gasoline, oxygen, and acetylene mixtures. The channel's host, Edwin Sarkissian, known for his expertise in recreational ballistics, showcases the destructive power of .50 caliber armor-piercing rounds against volatile targets, resulting in massive fireballs and explosions. The experiment also includes a secondary engagement with an AK-47 for cleanup.

This experiment demonstrates the potential consequences of using incorrect ammunition in a 9mm firearm. While a .380 ACP round did not cause catastrophic failure in a 9mm FN 509, it resulted in a weak firing impulse and a failure to cycle the action. The video strongly advises against attempting such tests due to inherent risks.

This video demonstrates a unique experiment launching baseballs with various firearm calibers, from 9mm to 12 Gauge Slug. The Yee Yee Life host, exhibiting practical firearms experience and safety consciousness, provides a casual yet informative comparison of projectile energy transfer. The results highlight significant differences in launch distance and impact severity across calibers, offering a visual representation of ballistic power.

This video demonstrates the catastrophic failure of an airgun when struck by a 5.56x45mm round. The experiment highlights the extreme danger of using an airgun for personal defense, as it can essentially act as a bomb if compromised. The presenter, wearing protective gear including a Tacticon Armament chest rig and plate, acknowledges the risks and advises against attempting such experiments.

This video details an experiment conducted by Civilian Tactical to determine if .22 LR tracer rounds can ignite gasoline. Using a Volquartsen Mamba pistol and FireQuest .22 LR tracers, the host fires rounds into a gasoline-filled bottle. The experiment concludes that the tracers fail to ignite the fuel, demonstrating a surprising lack of incendiary effect. The host emphasizes proper safety gear and confirms the gasoline's flammability with a blowtorch.

This video demonstrates a practical experiment by firearms instructor Edwin Sarkissian, testing bullet accuracy when fired through a vehicle's windshield. Using a Glock 17 and 9mm FMJ ammunition, the test establishes a baseline accuracy and then measures the deflection and trajectory changes caused by shooting through laminated glass. The experiment highlights the importance of understanding how environmental factors affect projectile performance.

This video presents a unique ballistics experiment using liquid-filled condoms as anatomical targets to simulate projectile impact. The creator, identified as 2Ajkell, demonstrates appendix carry with a Glock 19 in a We The People Holsters Kydex holster, highlighting a humorous yet illustrative approach to understanding terminal ballistics and the potential consequences of firearm handling errors. The experiment emphasizes safety through its controlled setup and observation of results.

This video showcases a high-energy ballistics experiment conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrating the effects of shooting pressurized oxygen and acetylene tanks, as well as an M67 grenade, inside a truck bed. The experiment highlights the volatile nature of these materials and the significant structural damage they can cause. Sarkissian, a high-level firearms entertainer and ballistics experimenter, uses a Serbu BFG-50A .50 caliber rifle for the tank tests and observes the resulting explosions and propulsion.

This video explores the potential for a chain reaction of negligent discharges within a firearm's magazine tube. The experimenter tests various calibers, including 30-06, 7.62x54R, and 50 BMG, by dropping them down a pipe to simulate magazine loading. The results indicate that while smaller calibers are unlikely to cause a chain reaction, heavy and sharp 50 BMG rounds can indeed initiate a cascade of primer strikes and detonations.

This video demonstrates an experiment by Naaming Kotchanok, an experienced shooting sports content creator, to test if a .22 LR bullet can detonate a 12 Gauge shotgun shell primer. Using a CZ 457 Jaguar rifle with a Discovery scope at Alpha 2 Shooting Range, the experiment shows that while the .22 LR bullet accurately strikes and penetrates the primer, it does not cause the shotgun shell to detonate. The bullet passes through the primer and lodges in the shell casing.
