This video details an experiment where .22 caliber blank cartridges were heated in a frying pan on a propane stove. The blanks, which produce noise but no projectile, behaved unexpectedly, combusting with a fiery flash and launching themselves like mini-rockets due to gas expulsion from the crimped side. The presenter strongly advises against replicating this dangerous experiment.

This video explores the theoretical and practical outcome of loading a 50 BMG cartridge into a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment, conducted by a hobbyist, demonstrates that while the 50 BMG cartridge surprisingly fits, the flare gun's firing mechanism and primer strength are insufficient to ignite it. The test highlights the significant differences in primer resistance between ammunition types.

This experiment tests the ballistic resistance of bubble wrap against various projectiles. A 12-gauge birdshot, a compound bow arrow, and a .22 caliber round were fired at a mannequin wrapped in bubble wrap. None of the projectiles were effectively stopped, with all penetrating the material. The conclusion is that bubble wrap is not a viable option for bullet protection.

This video from Demolition Ranch explores the explosive potential of pressure cookers when subjected to extreme forces, specifically a .50 BMG round. While water and food items produced varied results, flammable liquids like implied gasoline created significant fireballs and explosive force. The experiment highlights the dangers of over-pressurization and the destructive power of high-caliber firearms.

Esai Givens conducts an experiment to see if airsoft BB guns, including a full-auto Glock 18C with an extended magazine, can detonate a pressurized aerosol can. Despite multiple volleys of BBs, the can sustains significant damage but ultimately does not explode, highlighting the resilience of such containers under this specific type of impact. The video emphasizes safety disclaimers and is performed in a controlled outdoor setting.

This video features an experiment comparing the impact of a rocket firework against ballistic gel, juxtaposed with a ballistic projectile. The experiment aims to visualize and analyze the effects of both on the gel, likely demonstrating terminal ballistics principles in a unique comparison.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of Kevlar gloves against various handgun calibers, including 22LR, 380 ACP, 9mm, and 45 ACP. The experiments reveal that even multiple layers of standard Kevlar cut-resistant gloves offer minimal protection against bullets, with penetration occurring easily. A bonus segment features Whistlin Diesel firing a gold-plated AK-47.

This video explores an interesting hypothetical scenario: determining how much ice cream is required to stop a bullet. While the title is unconventional, it hints at a potential ballistic gel or material testing concept, possibly using ice cream as a substitute or comparison material.
