This video from Yee Yee Life, featuring firearms expert Parker, tests the ballistic resistance of a bowling ball against a wide range of calibers, from .22 LR handguns to a .50 BMG sniper rifle. The experiment demonstrates the significant stopping power of various firearms and ammunition types, culminating in a dramatic test of the .50 BMG round's ability to penetrate the dense bowling ball. The content highlights the destructive potential of high-powered rifle rounds.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 100-pound hardened steel dumbbell against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While handguns and even a 12-gauge slug only chip or dent the steel, rifle rounds like 5.56 Green Tip and .308 SCAR create significant craters. The .50 BMG round comes closest to penetration, embedding deeply and causing the test dummy to be decapitated.

This video demonstrates a series of ballistic tests to determine the effectiveness of common household caulk in stopping various firearm projectiles. The experiment uses multiple firearms, including a .22 LR rifle, 9mm pistols, a .357 Magnum revolver, an AK-47, and an 8mm Mauser rifle, firing different types of ammunition at barriers constructed from caulk tubes. The results show varying degrees of penetration, with more powerful rounds easily passing through multiple tubes, while some success is noted with smaller caliber rounds.

This guide details how to create ballistic gel blocks at home, focusing on a 20% gelatin to water ratio. It covers mold construction, ingredient calculations, proper blooming and heating techniques to avoid denaturing the gelatin, pouring methods to minimize air bubbles, and essential calibration steps using a BB. The process emphasizes consistency for reliable projectile testing, even in a home environment.

This video demonstrates a DIY ballistics test where Nikko Ortiz uses a Sig Sauer P320 in .45 ACP to determine how many rolls of Scott toilet paper are required to stop a bullet. The test provides a visual, albeit informal, insight into projectile energy transfer and penetration capabilities. The presenter's energetic style and clear demonstration make it an engaging watch for firearm enthusiasts interested in basic ballistics.

This guide details a DIY ballistic test conducted by the Yee Yee Life channel, evaluating the stopping power of a 150-pound slam ball against various firearm calibers. The experiment, performed by a firearms enthusiast, demonstrates the slam ball's surprising ability to stop rounds from 9mm up to .50 BMG API, with Flex Tape used for repairs between tests. It highlights practical application of ballistic resistance testing in an experimental context.

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 demonstrates a practical, albeit unconventional, test of a pickaxe's ability to stop various firearm rounds. The presenter, exhibiting high authority and expertise through safe handling and specific identification of firearms and calibers, tests 12 gauge birdshot, .22, .380 ACP, 9mm, and 7.62x39mm. The results show that only the 7.62x39mm rifle round successfully penetrated the pickaxe blade.

This YouTube video, titled "Will It Stop Bullets? (Tinfoil Ball)" and including hashtags like #guns and #ammo, likely explores the ballistic resistance of a tinfoil ball against firearm projectiles. Based on the title and provided description, it appears to be a test or demonstration comparing the stopping power of various firearms and ammunition against this unconventional target. The content is expected to be engaging for firearms enthusiasts interested in ballistic testing and the performance of different calibers and weapon systems.

This video from Yee Yee Life features Parker conducting an experimental ballistic test to see if a large ball of duct tape can stop bullets. Using firearms like the Ruger 10/22, a 9mm Glock, a Ruger Redhawk .44 Magnum, a .45 ACP 1911, a .450 Bushmaster rifle, and an AR-15, Parker tests various calibers against the duct tape target. The results show the tape ball successfully stopped .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP rounds, but was penetrated by .44 Magnum, .450 Bushmaster, and 5.56mm rounds.

This video from Civilian Tactical demonstrates a unique ballistic test, stacking phone screen protectors to see how many it takes to stop various bullet calibers. The host, exhibiting high authority and expertise, tests rounds from .22 LR up to 6.5 Creedmoor, showcasing the increasing penetration power. The experiment highlights the importance of understanding terminal ballistics and the limitations of everyday protective items against firearm projectiles.

This video demonstrates an experimental test of a 0.5-inch thick ULINE metal docking plate's ability to withstand impacts from various calibers, including 9mm, .45 ACP, .44 Magnum, and .223 Remington. The host, identified as a firearms enthusiast, shows that while the plate can stop handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP, and even significantly deform from a .44 Magnum, it is penetrated by a .223 Remington rifle round. The experiment highlights the varying ballistic capabilities of different ammunition types against a common metal plate.
