Videos tagged with Bowling Ball Test

This video conducts a comparative ballistics test, primarily focusing on penetration through bowling balls, using a variety of handgun and rifle calibers. It highlights the destructive power of larger calibers like .50 BMG and .338 Lapua, contrasting them with common handgun rounds such as 9mm and .45 ACP. The test demonstrates significant differences in terminal ballistics and projectile fragmentation.

This video provides an in-depth review and shooting experience with the IWI Jericho 941R, often referred to as the 'Baby Desert Eagle'. The presenter highlights its similarities and differences with the Desert Eagle, its DA/SA operation, and its low bore axis. The review includes extensive reliability testing with various ammunition types, including a unique test of shooting through a bowling ball, and discusses the pistol's handling characteristics, particularly its light single-action trigger and compact slide.

This video from Yee Yee Life features a firearms enthusiast testing the durability of bowling balls against various calibers, including 10mm, .223 Remington, and 12-gauge slugs. The experiment demonstrates the surprising resilience of bowling balls, with none being fully penetrated by the tested firearms. The host emphasizes safe firearm handling throughout the test.

This video features a destructive test comparing the 500 S&W Magnum and 460 S&W Magnum revolvers, specifically the Performance Center models, by shooting bowling balls. The description also mentions that a full video will showcase nine other firearms, including .50 Cal and .338 Lapua, also destroying bowling balls. The channel link for more content is provided.

This video conducts a ballistics test comparing the penetration capabilities of various centerfire rifle calibers (.223 Rem, 5.56x45mm NATO, 7.62x39mm, .270 Win, .450 Bushmaster) against bowling balls. The presenter, with experience in similar tests, demonstrates how different bullet types and calibers interact with the dense material, highlighting the significant differences in terminal performance and penetration depth.

This video demonstrates a dramatic comparison between the smallest and largest calibers by testing their impact on a bowling ball. The .22 LR from a Standard Manufacturing Switch Gun barely marks the ball, while a single .50 BMG round from a Raptor 50 completely obliterates it. The host, Civilian Tactical Host, showcases high expertise through direct demonstration and knowledge of technical specifications.

This video tests the impact of .410, 20-gauge, and 12-gauge shotgun slugs on bowling balls from approximately 15-20 yards. The .410 slug created lines on impact, the 20-gauge split a bowling ball perfectly in half, and the 12-gauge caused more fragmentation. Disassembly revealed variations in bowling ball internal construction, including wood chips and styrofoam, which affected projectile performance.

This video demonstrates a unique ballistics test, firing a .50 BMG round from a Raptor 50 upper receiver at a Brunswick bowling ball. The Raptor 50 is highlighted as a bolt-action upper designed for AR-15 lower receivers, showcasing modularity. The experiment results in the complete disintegration of the bowling ball, providing a visual representation of .50 BMG power.

This guide details a ballistics test using bowling balls as targets, demonstrating the terminal effects of various large-caliber firearms, from .416 Rigby to the .700 Nitro Express. The experiment, presented by Scott of Kentucky Ballistics, highlights differences in projectile energy transfer and destructive power. Scott, an authority in extreme caliber testing, emphasizes safe handling of high-recoil firearms and provides insights into the performance of different elephant gun rounds.

This video demonstrates the immense power of the .50 BMG cartridge through various tests. It features a .50 BMG Barrett M99 rifle and showcases its destructive capability by shooting a bowling ball with an armor-piercing incendiary tracer round, causing it to explode and start a fire. The core of the video involves extensive ballistics gel testing with different .50 BMG rounds, including the 750-grain Hornady A-MAX and an API tracer, revealing massive wound cavities and significant destruction of the gel blocks and testing equipment.

This video demonstrates the destructive power of 12-gauge armor-piercing incendiary rounds against a bowling ball. The ammunition, provided by Firequest, completely shattered the bowling ball, producing significant fragmentation. The instructor notes that only a .50 BMG round has previously achieved a similar level of destruction against a bowling ball, highlighting the potency of the tested 12-gauge rounds.

This video demonstrates the performance of a Safety Harbor Firearms 50 BMG upper receiver, which can be mounted on an AR-15 lower. The instructor highlights its continued functionality after several years and showcases its destructive power by shooting a bowling ball. The content emphasizes that the 50 BMG remains a viable and fun option, especially for those with an existing AR-15 lower.
