This video features Scott from Kentucky Ballistics testing his suppressed CZ 550 rifle chambered in .416 Rigby, nicknamed the '416 Honey Badger'. The review details the rifle and SilencerCo Hybrid 46M suppressor, compares the .416 Rigby caliber to others, and showcases its immense power through destructive tests on various targets, including watermelons, ballistic gel, and an armored car. Scott's expertise in extreme ballistics is evident throughout the demonstration.
This video showcases the immense power of extreme caliber rifles against simulated grizzly bear threats. It features the CZ 550 in .416 Rigby, the rare A-Square .577 Tyrannosaur, the .600 Overkill, and the .700 BMG, culminating in a test of the colossal 4 Bore rifle. The 4 Bore, firing a 2150-grain projectile, demonstrates over 10,000 ft-lbs of energy and significant penetration, highlighting its extreme capabilities.
This video pits Houston Jones against extreme recoil from a series of progressively larger caliber big-bore rifles, culminating in the massive 4 Bore. The challenge highlights the physical toll of handling such powerful firearms, with Jones experiencing increasing discomfort. The video showcases rare and powerful rifles, emphasizing their unique calibers and the significant felt recoil associated with them.
This video tests the stopping power of various rifle calibers against a 200 lb rubber Atlas stone. Smaller calibers like 5.56 and 7.62x39 only caused surface marks. Even .308 and .30-06 failed to penetrate. The .416 Rigby successfully penetrated the stone, while the .458 Lott was stopped by the internal iron core. The .50 BMG also penetrated, with its second shot being stopped by the core.
John Lovell of Warrior Poet Society and Scott from Kentucky Ballistics test five powerful firearms, pushing John's recoil tolerance. They cover a 12-gauge shotgun, a Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum, a 10-gauge Pardner, a CZ 550 in .458 Lott, and a formidable 600 Nitro Express. The video highlights the intense physical challenge of managing extreme recoil from these large-caliber firearms.
This video tests the blunt force trauma effects of high-caliber 'elephant guns' on Level IV body armor using a realistic zombie torso. While some rounds penetrated the armor, even those stopped caused significant internal damage, shattering ribs and organs. The experiment highlights that stopping a projectile doesn't guarantee survival due to extreme energy transfer.
This video tests the destructive power of various elephant guns against bowling balls, showcasing the significant differences in energy transfer between calibers. Larger calibers like the .700 Nitro Express and .600 Nitro Express obliterate bowling balls, demonstrating immense 'thump' and energy dump. Smaller, faster rounds like the .416 Rigby penetrate deeply but don't shatter the balls as effectively, highlighting distinct ballistic properties.
This video showcases the destructive power of various large-caliber elephant guns, culminating in the .700 Nitro Express, against 'zombie head' targets. Scott from Kentucky Ballistics demonstrates the escalating damage from .375 H&H Magnum up to the .700 Nitro Express, highlighting bullet types and weights. The .460 Weatherby Magnum and .700 Nitro Express are shown to completely obliterate their targets, emphasizing the extreme capabilities of these big bore rifles.
This video reviews the extreme 'Elephant Pistol,' a MOA Corp single-shot handgun chambered in .375 H&H Magnum. It demonstrates the immense power of this dangerous game cartridge through penetration tests on cinder blocks and expansion tests using nacho cheese. The review highlights the pistol's 16-inch barrel, compensator, and unique safety mechanism, comparing its .375 H&H Magnum round to common rifle cartridges.
This review of the CZ 550 in .375 H&H Magnum highlights its capability as a versatile 'elephant rifle' for dangerous game. The .375 H&H Magnum, introduced in 1912, is shown to be a legal minimum for many dangerous game scenarios. Ballistic tests demonstrate impressive penetration through cinder blocks and significant destructive power on soft targets, even causing a table to break from hydraulic shock via exploding nacho cheese cans.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of large-caliber elephant rifles, specifically the .458 Lott, .500 Nitro Express, and the powerful .700 Nitro Express, against 7.5 inches of bulletproof glass. While the .458 Lott and .500 Nitro Express penetrated the first pane and stopped in the second, the .700 Nitro Express, despite shattering the first pane, was also stopped by it. A humorous skit and a 12-gauge cabbage test add entertainment.
This test pits powerful elephant rifles against a 41-pine-board box. The .458 Lott and .500 Nitro Express with brass solids achieved surprising full penetration, setting new records for the box. In contrast, lead rounds from both calibers stopped after penetrating 20 boards, highlighting the significant difference in terminal performance between solid and lead projectiles.
