TheYankeeMarshal offers a practical perspective on self-defense ammunition, prioritizing penetration over expansion. He argues that concerns about overpenetration with ball ammo are often overstated compared to the risk of missing, and that the difference in wound channel size between non-expanding and expanding bullets may not be as significant as commonly believed. The discussion also touches on regulatory aspects, referencing New Jersey's ban on JHPs.

This video demonstrates a ballistic experiment testing the penetration capabilities of various firearm calibers against a stack of bricks. The host, an enthusiast content creator, shows how rounds from .22 LR up to .50 BMG interact with the brick barrier, providing a visual comparison of stopping power. The experiment highlights significant differences in penetration based on caliber and bullet type.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the stopping power of various firearm calibers against a bowling ball. The experiment progresses from smaller rounds like .22 LR and 9mm, which cause superficial damage, up to powerful rifle and handgun rounds. While many calibers significantly damage the bowling ball, only the .50 BMG is shown to completely obliterate it and penetrate through. The host demonstrates safe firearm handling throughout the test.

This video explores the ballistic capabilities of liters of liquid, specifically how much volume is needed to stop a bullet. It delves into the physics of projectile impact and material resistance, likely using various materials or scenarios to demonstrate the effectiveness of liquid barriers against different types of ammunition. The video aims to provide an understanding of kinetic energy transfer and the properties that make certain substances effective at absorbing or deflecting bullets.

This video from Yee Yee Life conducts a practical, albeit informal, ballistics test to determine how many bamboo cutting boards are needed to stop various common bullet calibers. The experiment progresses from a .22 LR, which is stopped by the first board, up to a .50 BMG, which penetrates all eight boards. The host demonstrates safe handling and showcases a variety of firearms used in the tests, providing a visual comparison of bullet energy versus material resistance.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test comparing Liberty Ammo's 70gr 'Bear Country' and Underwood's 200gr 'Hard Cast' 10mm loads. The host, demonstrating high expertise through rigorous testing, found the Liberty round fragmented excessively, leading to shallow penetration, while the Underwood round, despite its heavier weight, also underperformed in velocity compared to advertised specs. Neither round was deemed ideal for bear defense based on this testing.

This video title, "Será que gelo consegue parar uma bala?" (Can ice stop a bullet?), explores the ballistic properties of ice when subjected to firearm projectiles. It investigates the potential of ice as a projectile barrier, a concept often seen in fictional scenarios but rarely tested in reality. The video likely delves into the physics of bullet impact and penetration through a frozen medium, possibly comparing different types of ice or bullet calibers to determine their effectiveness in stopping or deforming rounds.

This YouTube video explores the ballistic resistance of ice, specifically investigating whether it can effectively stop a bullet. The title suggests a direct test or demonstration of this phenomenon, likely involving firearms and ammunition to determine penetration capabilities. The content aims to answer a practical question about the properties of ice in the context of projectile impact.

This YouTube video analyzes the penetration capabilities of 9mm bullets through sheetrock and studs. It aims to provide a visual understanding of how different ballistic behaviors occur when a 9mm projectile encounters common building materials. The video likely includes practical demonstrations and explanations relevant to understanding terminal ballistics and projectile behavior in various environments.

This video tests the ballistic penetration of various firearms calibers through a 2500-gallon water tank. Results show that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG and 5.56 NATO fragment or deform significantly upon entering the water, failing to reach a target 6.5 feet away. Smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm are stopped with minimal deformation. Approximately 6.5 feet of water provides substantial protection against most common firearms.

This video tests the bullet-stopping capability of a 25-foot streetlight pole against various calibers. Lower calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, and .44 Magnum caused dents but failed to penetrate. The .50 AE and 12-gauge slug also failed to penetrate, creating significant damage. However, a .308 Win and a .50 BMG round easily penetrated the pole, demonstrating the significant difference in power between handgun/shotgun rounds and high-powered rifle rounds.

This YouTube video investigates the ballistic resistance of a car door against a .22LR projectile. The title directly poses the question of whether a car door can withstand a shot from this specific caliber. The video likely involves testing or demonstration to provide a visual and informative answer for viewers interested in firearm performance and terminal ballistics in everyday object penetration.
