This video tests the durability of a 150-pound anvil against various calibers, including 9mm, 10mm, .44 Magnum, .50 AE, 12-gauge slug, 5.56, .243, .308, and finally a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers only left minor marks, the .50 BMG, even with an incendiary round, failed to penetrate the anvil, creating a significant crater but ultimately being stopped. The test highlights the extreme stopping power of the .50 BMG against solid objects.
This video tests the durability of three pans (stainless steel, cast iron, non-stick granite) against a 70-pound compound bow. The cast iron pan proved most resilient, showing only a minor mark. The stainless steel pan bulged significantly but didn't fully penetrate, while the non-stick granite pan was easily pierced. The test highlights material differences in resisting projectile impacts.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of 9mm Full Metal Jacket and .45 ACP Hollow Point rounds against a Lodge cast iron skillet. Both calibers successfully penetrated the skillet, demonstrating the limitations of cast iron as a ballistic barrier. The experiment highlights the effectiveness of common handgun rounds against this material.
This video tests an Attwood 15lb mushroom anchor's resistance to firearm impacts. Lower calibers like Birdshot, .22 LR, .380 ACP, and 9mm caused minimal damage, only removing the zinc coating or leaving minor marks. A 7.62x39mm round from an AK caused a slight dent. The .308 Win from a Diamondback AR-10 successfully impacted the cast iron, tearing out a chunk, but did not penetrate the anchor, leading to the conclusion that it is effectively bulletproof against these tested rounds.
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 tests the ballistic resistance of a 20lb cast iron dumbbell against various calibers from .22 to .308. While smaller calibers caused minimal damage, rifle rounds like 5.56 and 7.62x39 created significant gouges and cracks. The .308 round penetrated the first plate but not the second, leading to the conclusion that the dumbbell is effectively bulletproof against these tested rounds. Safety protocols included the use of an RTS Tactical Level 3 shield.
This video compares the penetration power of the Heckler & Koch MP7 (4.6x30mm) and the HK G3 battle rifle (.308 Winchester) against cast iron skillets. The MP7 required three skillets to be stopped, while the G3 penetrated five to six. The demonstration highlights the significant difference in power between a PDW round and a full-power rifle round.
This video tests the durability of Foreverware stainless cast iron skillets against high-caliber firearms. A .50 BMG FMJ round penetrated three skillets, stopped by the fourth, while an AP round showed similar results. A .50 AE Desert Eagle and a .45-70 BFR were stopped by the first skillet, and a .338 Lapua Magnum penetrated two before being stopped by the third, demonstrating significant resistance.
This YouTube video compares the Mosin Nagant rifle with cast iron skillets, seemingly as a humorous or unconventional test, possibly referencing its durability or utility in unexpected scenarios, as hinted by its association with the popular video game PUBG. The description also includes a link to the Classic Firearms YouTube channel.
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 demonstrates a unique ballistics test where an M134 Minigun fires 7.62x51mm rounds at a 45lb Gold's Gym cast iron weight. The experiment, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, shows the weight sustaining significant surface damage and chipping but ultimately stopping the high-velocity rounds without shattering. The footage highlights the destructive power of the minigun and the surprising resilience of the cast iron target.
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.
