This episode of the Gunwerks Long Range Pursuits Podcast features a deep dive into the 'Tiny A.F.' rifle, part of the Skunkwerks Project. The discussion, led by industry experts, focuses on the rifle's impressive ballistic performance despite its compact 11-inch barrel. They analyze bullet weight testing, powder combinations, and the cartridge's ability to maintain supersonic velocity at extended ranges.
This video, titled "Será que um quebra-queixo resiste a tiros?" (Can a 'breaker-of-jaws' withstand bullets?), directly asks if a specific item, colloquially referred to as a 'quebra-queixo', can withstand gunfire. Without a transcript or further description, the exact nature of the 'quebra-queixo' is unknown, but the title strongly suggests a ballistic testing scenario involving firearms. The content likely aims to explore the durability of an object when subjected to projectile impact, making it relevant for those interested in ballistics, material science, or informal firearm testing.
This video focuses on a practical technique for firearm enthusiasts: how to achieve clear ballistics gel. Ballistics gel is crucial for understanding bullet performance and terminal ballistics, often used in reviews and testing. The video likely covers the process and materials needed to create transparent gel, which enhances visibility during testing and analysis of projectile impact. This is a valuable DIY technique for those who conduct their own testing or are interested in the scientific aspects of ammunition performance.
This video investigates claims about the terminal ballistics of a 30-06 round allegedly used in an incident involving Charlie Kirk. Through ballistics gel and simulated tissue/bone testing, the host demonstrates the significant energy transfer and penetration capabilities of the 30-06, particularly with FMJ ammunition. The tests highlight the potential for massive internal damage and bone shattering, questioning the reported lack of an exit wound.
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 video tests the durability of a 1909 wrought iron anvil against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers like 9mm and .44 Magnum only cause lead splatter, larger rounds like the .308 create noticeable divots. The .50 BMG API round, despite creating a small crater and fireball, was ultimately stopped by the anvil, demonstrating its extreme resilience.
This YouTube video explores the effectiveness of various liquids in stopping a bullet. While the specific liquids and firearms are not detailed in the provided information, the title clearly indicates a ballistic testing scenario. The content likely involves live-fire demonstrations to observe the penetration or lack thereof of different substances against projectile impacts.
This video tests several unique and high-performance ammunition types, including a Bear Creek Ballistics .44 Magnum +P load that demonstrates impressive penetration and wound channel creation. It also evaluates various 12 Gauge slugs, such as the Max Tactical 'Reaper', Hickory Flat Boars 'RIP' and 'Kraken', and a Ballistic Machinist slug with a .357 core, comparing their performance in ballistic gel and against steel. The testing highlights significant differences in penetration, expansion, and wound cavity effects between these specialized rounds.
This video details the creation and testing of a custom 'M80A1 Short Mag' load by chambering a military M80A1 bullet in a .300 WSM cartridge. The custom load achieved significantly higher velocities (3587 FPS vs 3043 FPS) and energy compared to the standard 7.62x51 M80A1. Testing against various steel plates demonstrated the projectile's penetration capabilities, with the Short Mag load outperforming the standard in some scenarios but failing to penetrate 1-inch mild steel.
This video investigates the ballistic resistance of chalk, specifically examining whether it can stop a bullet. While the exact firearm and caliber used are not detailed in the provided information, the core premise is a ballistic test comparing a common material to projectile penetration. The content likely involves firing a projectile at a chalk block to observe the outcome and determine its effectiveness as a protective barrier.
This video compares the terminal ballistics of two powerful subsonic heavy bullets: the Steinel 700gr .50 Beowulf and the Steinel 730gr .45-70 Government. Testing in ballistic gel and plywood reveals that while both rounds possess significant momentum, the .45-70 demonstrated deeper penetration in sand and a near-plywood penetration after gel, suggesting 'skinny' bullets can outperform 'wide' ones at subsonic speeds. Recoil was comparable, with the .45-70 slightly higher.
This video title, "Bala Tranquilizante Caseira MORTAL? (TESTE)" (Homemade Tranquilizer Bullet DEADLY? (TEST)), suggests a test or review of a potentially dangerous homemade ammunition. The title uses a question to create intrigue and implies a lethal outcome is being investigated. This content likely falls into the realm of experimental ammunition or firearm modifications, with a focus on its potentially dangerous effects. The use of "MORTAL" and "TESTE" points towards a critical evaluation of its lethality.
