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 video demonstrates a practical, albeit informal, test of bullet penetration through common building bricks using various firearms and calibers. From .22 LR to .50 BMG, the experiment visually showcases the significant differences in ballistic energy and stopping power. The presenter, Parker, offers an enthusiastic and knowledgeable approach, highlighting the destructive potential of each round.

This video demonstrates the vulnerability of budget gun safes from Harbor Freight and Union Safe Company when subjected to blunt force, power tools, and high-caliber ballistics. The expert instructor, Scott, highlights that even electronic safes with thicker doors can be compromised through weaker points like the back panel. The Barrett M82A1 .50 BMG rifle easily penetrates both the front and back of the 10-gun safe, indicating a severe lack of security against determined threats.

This video demonstrates a practical experiment to quantify firearm recoil using a wheelchair on a marked range. Experienced instructor Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, alongside Houston Jones, tests a variety of firearms from 9mm to a massive 4 Bore rifle. The experiment provides a visual and measurable comparison of how different calibers and firearm platforms generate recoil, offering valuable insights for shooters interested in understanding ballistic forces.

This video demonstrates an extreme test of firearm resilience, encasing handguns in concrete and then using a .50 BMG rifle to break them free. The experiment highlights the potential for firearms to function even after severe environmental exposure, though it also reveals potential malfunctions like stovepipes due to debris. The presenter, an experienced shooter, emphasizes safety and demonstrates clearing techniques.

This video from Yee Yee Life, featuring Fred, tests the bullet-stopping capability of a thick titanium block against various calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The demonstration, conducted on an Outdoor Range with safe firearm handling, shows that even powerful rounds like the .50 BMG create significant damage, including deep craters and material removal, but fail to penetrate the approximately 2-3 inch thick titanium block. The expert assessment highlights the effectiveness of titanium as a ballistic material against a wide range of threats.

This video details a rigorous torture test on a Barrett M82A1 .50 BMG rifle, conducted by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. The test involves submerging the rifle in water, covering it with dirt, mud, and sand, and then attempting to fire it. The expert-level demonstration highlights the rifle's remarkable durability and reliability under extreme conditions, showing its ability to return to service with minimal field maintenance after significant contamination.

This video demonstrates a ballistic penetration test using a Barrett M82A1 .50 BMG rifle, led by tactical instructor John Lovell. The test involves firing a single .50 caliber round into stacks of paperback and hardback books to assess penetration capabilities. Lovell, a former Army Ranger, showcases proficient handling of the high-caliber firearm and provides insights into terminal ballistics.

This video provides an expert-level overview of the Barrett M82A1, presented by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. The M82A1 is detailed as an anti-materiel and EOD rifle, not primarily a sniper weapon, with typical accuracy around 3 MOA. Its semi-automatic design prioritizes sustained fire over pinpoint precision.
