This video introduces the new Silencer Central Banish 46-V2 suppressor, an improved version of their popular Banish 46. The V2 is designed to be lighter, smaller, and better overall, building on the success of the original which was particularly favored for lever-action rifles chambered in big-bore cartridges like the .45-70 Government. The video highlights the company's CEO's initiative to enhance the product's design through engineering.

This video features a "ballistic chicken test" comparing a 12-gauge slug against a 300-grain Hornady FTX .50 Beowulf. The test aims to visually demonstrate the destructive power of each round on a chicken, highlighting the differences in impact and terminal ballistics.

The .50 Beowulf cartridge, developed by Alexander Arms, offers significant stopping power on an AR-15 platform. Despite its large caliber, it uses standard AR-15 lower receivers and magazines, with modifications primarily to the barrel and bolt. Testing reveals substantial recoil, comparable to a .45-70, and impressive energy transfer, demonstrated by its destructive effect on targets and ballistic gel.

This video features a ballistic gel test using Hornady Lever Evolution and Barnes Vor-TX .45-70 ammunition fired from a Henry lever action rifle.

This video directly compares the .50 Beowulf and .458 SOCOM calibers, presenting empirical data on their performance. The .50 Beowulf, using a 335gr FMJ, achieved a mean velocity of 1848 ft/s and 2541 ft-lb of energy. The .458 SOCOM, with a 350gr load, recorded 1715 ft/s and 2286 ft-lb of energy. Both calibers demonstrate significant power, comparable to 12-gauge shotgun loads, with the .50 Beowulf showing a slight advantage in velocity and energy in these specific tests.
