This short video tests the ballistic resistance of a Husqvarna Gold S1520 industrial saw blade against various calibers. While a .22 LR and 9mm leave minimal marks, a .44 Magnum causes significant deformation. A 5.56 NATO Green Tip round, however, penetrates the blade easily, demonstrating the limitations of the material against higher-powered rifle rounds.
This video tests the bulletproof capabilities of a rubber ball against various calibers, including .22, Bird Shot, .380 ACP, 5.56x45mm (.223), .308 Winchester, and finally, .50 BMG. While the ball resisted complete penetration from most calibers, the .308 Winchester showed signs of penetration with energy loss, and the .50 BMG demonstrated significant impact energy, though it did not fully penetrate the ball. The test highlights the varying effectiveness of ballistic materials against different ammunition types.
This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of a .44 Magnum round against 70 layers of ballistic nylon. The test shows that while the .44 Magnum did penetrate the material, the backface deformation was within acceptable limits for the tested layers, indicating potential for some level of protection. The presenter suggests further testing with different layer counts.
This video tests the ballistic performance of ballistic nylon by stacking layers and testing them against pistol calibers. The experiment begins with 30 layers of ballistic nylon and plans to test 9mm and potentially .44 Magnum rounds, adjusting the number of layers based on performance. The instructor notes the challenge of accuracy with a .22 pistol, which may also be used.
