This video tests the ballistic resistance of hydrants against various calibers. It demonstrates that while some calibers like .22 LR and 12 gauge with birdshot do not penetrate, higher calibers such as 9mm and 5.56x45mm can cause significant damage, with 9mm cracking cast iron and 5.56x45mm creating small entry holes.
This video demonstrates the ballistic resistance of a 45-pound cast iron barbell plate against a variety of firearm calibers, from .22 LR up to a .50 BMG sniper rifle. The test, conducted by an experienced individual on an outdoor shooting range, shows how different rounds affect the plate, with smaller calibers causing minimal damage and larger rounds eventually penetrating. The expert handling and clear explanations highlight the effectiveness of the plate against handgun rounds and intermediate rifle calibers, but its limitations against heavy sniper rounds.
This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of a Forge brand cast iron anvil against various calibers, from 9mm to .50 BMG. The host, demonstrating safe firearm handling and an experimental tone, shows how smaller calibers cause minimal damage, while larger rounds like the .223 and .450 Bushmaster create craters. Ultimately, the .50 BMG round proves too powerful, shattering the anvil. The content provides unique insights into material durability under extreme ballistic stress.
This video tests the durability of three different types of pans (cast iron, stainless steel, and granite nonstick) when struck by 9mm handgun rounds. The host demonstrates the effects of the ballistic impact on each material, noting differences in entry and exit damage. The test provides a visual comparison of how common cookware materials withstand projectile force.
This video from Yee Yee Life features an outdoor durability test of three different pans (stainless steel, cast iron, and non-stick granite) shot with a 70-pound compound bow. The cast iron pan demonstrated the highest durability, sustaining only a minor mark. The stainless steel pan showed significant deformation but no penetration, while the non-stick granite pan was completely penetrated by the arrow. The content creator, identified as an outdoor enthusiast with consistent archery form, showcases an experimental approach to product testing.
This video tests the ballistic resistance of an Attwood 15lb mushroom anchor against various firearm calibers, including .308 Win. The anchor demonstrates significant durability, with the .308 Win round only causing a dent rather than penetration. The host, an established tactical content creator, concludes the anchor is effectively bulletproof.
This YouTube video from Kern's AK Korner delves into the manufacturing differences between hammer-forged and cast iron parts for AK firearms. It explains why these distinctions matter for consumers when choosing an AK. The video is presented by GUNBROS, a family-owned business focused on providing quality firearms and accessories, emphasizing the Second Amendment.
This video from Civilian Tactical tests the bulletproof capabilities of a 20lb cast iron dumbbell against various calibers, from .22 to .308. Using an RTS Tactical Level 3 ballistic shield for safety, the host demonstrates how different rounds impact the dumbbell. The test concludes that the dumbbell is effectively bulletproof against the tested calibers, with only the .308 causing significant damage.
This experiment from Civilian Tactical tests the ballistic resistance of fire hydrant caps made from aluminum and cast iron against various calibers, including .22 LR, 12-gauge birdshot, 9mm, 5.56 NATO M855, and .308 Win. The results show that while hydrant caps can stop smaller calibers like .22 LR and birdshot, they are penetrated by rifle rounds such as 5.56 NATO M855. The cast iron cap sustained significant damage from 9mm rounds, whereas the aluminum cap stopped them but showed rear impact.
This video demonstrates a highly experimental and dangerous technique for opening a 100-year-old safe using a combination of dynamite and an M67 fragmentation grenade. The process, led by Edwin Sarkissian, involves carefully placing the explosives inside the safe and setting a timer for detonation. The aftermath reveals the safe completely destroyed, with detailed inspection of the debris and the internal locking mechanism.

This YouTube video primarily focuses on the unboxing and arrival of enameled cast iron Dutch ovens and cast iron pans. The creator also briefly mentions O2 absorbers, likely in the context of food preservation. While the description contains numerous product links for survival and food storage items, there is no direct mention or demonstration of firearms, ammunition, or related accessories. The content is focused on kitchenware and long-term food storage solutions.
This video tests the ballistic resistance of a thick sewer lid against various firearms. A 20mm practice round failed to penetrate, causing only minor surface damage. However, a 20mm tungsten armor-piercing round successfully penetrated the cast iron lid. A full-auto MP5 firing 9mm rounds also failed to significantly damage the lid, highlighting the effectiveness of the sewer lid's material against smaller calibers.
