This short demonstrates the ballistic power of the .500 Auto Max cartridge fired from an AR platform rifle. The video showcases a test where the round obliterates a water-filled protein powder tub, highlighting the round's destructive potential. The presenter, exhibiting clear familiarity with large-caliber firearms and ballistics, conducts a visual demonstration of the ammunition's impact.

This video demonstrates the firing of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50, into a sandbag target. It highlights the significant recoil and muzzle blast associated with this powerful caliber. The footage includes a close-up of the spent casing ejection and an assessment of the impact on the sandbag, showing penetration and sand leakage. Steel targets in the background are also observed for any secondary impacts.

This video details an advanced experimental attempt to push .22LR velocities beyond factory specifications using modified nail gun blanks. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in ballistics and firearm modification, explores various power levels of blanks and their impact on velocity and firearm integrity. The experiments highlight the extreme dangers and limitations of such modifications, ultimately concluding that dedicated cartridges like the .17 WSM are necessary for achieving 3000 FPS.

This video demonstrates a ballistics test of the Smith & Wesson 629 Hunter Edition revolver chambered in .44 Magnum. Using DoubleTap 200 grain HP Lead-Free ammunition, the presenter measures muzzle velocity with a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph. The results show impressive velocities, highlighting the power of this classic magnum cartridge in a modern platform.

This video provides first impressions and performance insights into several Ridgeback Defense suppressors, including the Rhino X, Rhino S, Sahara 300, Rodie 6, and Rodie 6K. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise, conducts sound testing at various distances and notes low gas-to-face performance. The Rodie models are highlighted as favorites for their quiet operation and durability, with the Sahara 300 praised for .300 Blackout applications.

This video critically examines the alleged deceptive practices and intimidation tactics employed by firearms YouTuber '110 Sass Actual' against fellow creator 'Boondock Ballistician'. The speaker details instances of alleged dishonesty in Tisas Raider reviews and highlights 110 Sass Actual's attempts to silence Boondock Ballistician after she exposed his misinformation and conflicts of interest with ammunition companies. The content emphasizes the importance of truth in ballistics testing and encourages support for creators who uphold ethical standards.

This video provides an expert-level examination of the 20-gauge Detonator shotgun slug, highlighting its extreme power and unique detonation characteristics. The instructor, demonstrating significant firearms expertise, tests the slug's impact on various targets, including steel and ballistic gel, and investigates its activation threshold. The findings suggest the slug requires substantial impact force to detonate, making it potentially dangerous if misused but incredibly effective when properly activated.

This video from Yee Yee Life explores the bullet-stopping capabilities of basketballs by testing various calibers against them. While entertaining, the experiment is conducted by a hobbyist and lacks rigorous scientific methodology or safety protocols typically expected from professional instruction.

This video explores the experimental '22 Super Long Rifle' ammunition, which places a .22LR bullet in a .223 casing. Tested in a Steyr AUG, the custom rounds demonstrated surprising cycling capability with approximately 20% less recoil than standard .223. However, energy output was significantly lower, leading to ricochets and potential malfunctions, prompting a strong caution against attempting such modifications.

This video from Yee Yee Life explores the ballistic penetration capabilities of various firearms and ammunition types through basketballs. Lead Firearms Instructor and SEO Strategist Parker demonstrates the stopping power of .22LR, 9mm (FMJ and Hollow Point), 12 Gauge (Birdshot and Slug), and .50 BMG rounds. The experiment highlights how different projectile designs and calibers interact with a soft, yielding medium like a basketball, offering practical insights into terminal ballistics and the limitations of improvised barriers.

This review explores the experimental '22 Super Long Rifle' cartridge, created by loading a .22LR bullet into a .223 casing. The test demonstrates that while the custom rounds possess sufficient energy to cycle a Steyr AUG, they exhibit significantly reduced accuracy and increased smoke compared to standard .223 ammunition. The experiment highlights potential malfunctions and questions the practical application of such a modification.

This guide, based on a ballistics test in a Ford Explorer, identifies the most effective locations within a vehicle for protection against gunfire. It highlights that the driver's side door is inadequate, while the trunk, the area behind two doors, the passenger footwell, and behind the steering wheel offer significant ballistic protection. The assessment emphasizes staying low for maximum coverage.
