This video demonstrates that bullets can indeed ricochet off ice, similar to how they behave on water. Using a .45 ACP pistol, the experiment shows that while shallow angles may lead to penetration, shallower angles can induce a skip or ricochet. The presence of water beneath the ice and the high-speed impact are noted as factors influencing bullet behavior. The experiment concludes with a successful ricochet off the ice, impacting a tree, highlighting the potential for unpredictable projectile paths in such conditions.

This video conducts a series of ballistic tests using various firearms, from .22LR to .50 BMG, against rows of pumpkins to determine penetration capabilities. The experiment highlights how different calibers and bullet types interact with organic matter, demonstrating significant differences in energy transfer and penetration between handgun and rifle rounds. Notably, it shows that some rifle rounds can penetrate less than handguns due to rapid energy dumping.

This video from 704 Tactical demonstrates a point-blank terminal ballistics test using a North American Arms .22 Short Mini-Revolver fired into a Smithfield ham. The experiment aims to visually assess the penetration capabilities of the .22 Short cartridge from a micro-revolver. The instructor, established in firearms review, showcases proper handling and focuses on the damage assessment, confirming the round passed completely through the ham.

This video demonstrates a live-fire exercise using a semi-automatic handgun against a mannequin target. The demonstration highlights the impact of a projectile, showing the mannequin's head exploding due to internal liquid, with a slow-motion replay analyzing the effect. The shooter exhibits a proper stance and uses essential safety gear like electronic ear protection.

This video investigates the stopping power of paper against a 9mm bullet. It features target shooting with a focus on whether a stack of paper can successfully catch or be penetrated by the projectile. The content aims to provide a visual demonstration and answer a common question regarding projectile containment.

This video features an "ammo showdown" comparing G9 Defense External Hollow Points (EHP) to Speer Gold Dot and Winchester Ranger 9mm ammunition using a spiral-cut ham as a medium. The creator, who has used G9 EHP for their EDC for years and has tested it extensively, clarifies that the demonstration is not scientific but intended for entertainment and to add to general knowledge. The video is part of a series, with a future installment promising "armored hams." The creator discloses receiving ammunition from G9 for various uses, emphasizing their effort to remain unbiased. The description also promotes DryfireMastery.com for at-home firearm training.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of the SIG P320 XTen in 10mm and the SIG P320 M17 in 9mm using a simulated meat target. "Coach" from Tactical Hyve, with assistance from "Ryan," demonstrates how both calibers perform on ribs, watermelon lung tissue, and simulated clothing, with a drywall wall and ballistic panel behind. The 10mm showed more significant tissue destruction and rib shattering, while the 9mm demonstrated excellent energy dumping with less penetration. Both calibers performed well within the target, with neither significantly penetrating the drywall.

This video features a destructive testing scenario where a "Tenderizer Slug" is fired into a 50-pound block of clay. The primary focus is on the impact and deformation of the slug upon hitting the target, likely showcasing the slug's terminal ballistics and construction. While the specific firearm used is not mentioned, the context strongly suggests a firearm projectile was involved, making it relevant to ballistics and ammunition performance analysis.

This YouTube video features a range test of the Ruger American Ranch Rifle chambered in 350 Legend, specifically focusing on the expansion of 150-grain Extreme Point polymer tip bullets when fired into leveling sand. The video aims to demonstrate the bullet's terminal performance by recovering the expanded projectiles. The creator encourages viewer interaction and provides links to their other playlists covering handguns, long guns, Second Amendment content, gear reviews, and more, along with social media links.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian demonstrates a unique ballistics test, using steaks as a medium to test 9mm bullet penetration. The Sig Sauer P365 is used to fire both Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Federal Hydra-Shok hollow point rounds. The results show the FMJ penetrating all 12 steaks, while the Hydra-Shok expanded and stopped within the 10th steak, highlighting the difference in terminal performance.

This video demonstrates a comparative ballistics test using standard Winchester Foster slugs across three common shotgun calibers: .410 bore, 20 gauge, and 12 gauge. The test involves firing slugs into water-filled gallon jugs to visually assess penetration and expansion differences. The instructor highlights the use of basic, readily available ammunition and standard shotgun platforms for the comparison.

This guide details an experimental approach to understanding bullet stopping power using Play-Doh as a medium. It outlines the process of preparing Play-Doh, setting up targets, and firing a Glock 17 9mm handgun to observe the projectile's interaction with the material. The experiment highlights the importance of material density in projectile stopping capability.
