This video from Kentucky Ballistics demonstrates the immense power of a Number 16 bear trap. The trap is shown to be very powerful, capable of completely destroying a 2-liter water bottle upon impact. The demonstration highlights the trap's raw force in a controlled outdoor setting.

This video demonstrates a 'hand cannon' test using a Thompson/Center ProHunter pistol to destroy a watermelon in an outdoor winter environment. The experienced speaker highlights safe firearm handling, including the use of ear and eye protection, and achieves a 'dead center' shot, resulting in the watermelon's dramatic disintegration. The demonstration serves as an entertaining showcase of the firearm's power.

This video demonstrates the extreme danger of using modern smokeless gunpowder in a muzzleloader designed for black powder. Lead instructor Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, with expertise signaled by his specialized destructive testing, shows through a catastrophic failure that modern powders create pressures far exceeding the design limits of muzzleloaders. The experiment highlights critical firearm safety and the distinct properties of different propellant types.

This video provides an expert review of the American Derringer Model 1 in .30-30 Winchester, showcasing its extreme recoil and limited effectiveness due to its short barrel. The presenter, Scott, a seasoned ballistics tester, demonstrates its performance against various barriers and compares it to a Henry Lever Action rifle, highlighting the significant difference in energy transfer and expansion capabilities. The review also includes tests against body armor and a ballistic dummy, offering a comprehensive look at this unique firearm's capabilities and limitations.

This guide details an experiment simulating a bolt-action rifle firing with its bolt open or locking lugs disengaged. Expert Scott DeShields demonstrates the potential for the bolt to become a dangerous projectile. The tests cover .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, and .50 BMG calibers, highlighting the severe risks associated with such malfunctions and emphasizing stringent safety measures.

This YouTube video, titled "50 BMG vs 3.8 liters of cola in slow motion," likely features a ballistic test comparing the impact of a .50 BMG round against a large quantity of cola, shown in extreme slow motion. The visual focus is on the explosive interaction and the fragmentation of the cola, highlighting the immense power of the .50 BMG cartridge. While the title is in Portuguese, the subject matter is universally understood within firearms and ballistics communities.

This video features a ballistic test comparing the terminal effects of a .22-250 caliber rifle round against a concrete block. The title explicitly states the caliber and the target, suggesting a destructive testing or terminal ballistics demonstration. The content likely focuses on the penetration and fragmentation capabilities of the .22-250 round when impacting a hard material.

This video presents a comparison of two vastly different calibers, 22LR and 50 BMG, in a rather unconventional test involving pumpkins. The title "22LR contra 50BMG! Quem vence a batalha das abóboras?" (22LR vs 50 BMG! Who wins the pumpkin battle?) suggests a direct confrontation between these two ammunition types and the firearms that utilize them, likely highlighting the extreme differences in their power and application through a destructive test. The description is absent, but the title clearly indicates a caliber and potential firearm comparison.

This YouTube video title indicates a test involving a pumpkin and a .50 BMG round. The focus is clearly on the destructive power of this large caliber cartridge. Given the nature of the subject, it likely involves shooting footage and demonstrating the impact of the .50 BMG round on the pumpkin, offering a visual spectacle of the projectile's capabilities.

This video demonstrates the capability of the M61 round in piercing AR500 steel at close distances. The title and description explicitly warn viewers against attempting this themselves, emphasizing that the activity is for testing purposes only. This suggests a focus on ballistics, material science related to armor, and the destructive power of certain ammunition types.

This video explores the destructive capabilities of a .50 caliber round by testing its impact on a watermelon. The title directly poses the question, and the description confirms the experimental nature of the content, focusing on what a .50 cal projectile can do to a common fruit. It's a straightforward demonstration of terminal ballistics on a non-human target.

This video demonstrates an extreme test of a punt gun, firing a 1lb lead ball through a 5,000-gallon pool. Scott from Kentucky Ballistics showcases safe handling of this large-bore firearm using a remote lanyard. The experiment highlights the immense power and water displacement capabilities of such a weapon, resulting in the complete destruction of the pool.
