This guide details the experimental construction and testing of a unique 1882 patent for a rat trap that utilizes a firearm. Lead Firearms Instructor Brandon Herrera demonstrates the process, starting with a black powder revolver and progressing to more powerful firearms like the Smith & Wesson Model 500 and a Serbu Super Shorty 12-gauge shotgun. The experiment highlights firearm mechanics, historical patents, and safe, albeit unconventional, testing procedures.

This guide details the process of converting a closet into a secure and organized gun room using Hold Up Displays slatwall panels. The project involves lighting installation, secure panel mounting, and the setup of modular racks for firearms and tactical gear. The creator, identified as Vietac, demonstrates a methodical DIY approach, highlighting the customization potential of the slatwall system for efficient storage.

This video explores a homemade, left-handed "Melon Hand Trap" based on a 1934 Popular Science article. While the original design aimed for press board or light wood construction, this example is made of metal. The presenters discuss the challenges of replicating the trap today due to variations in modern hardware like nails and wire, and the difficulty in achieving proper spring tension for consistent clay target launching. They demonstrate its use, highlighting the issues caused by its left-handed orientation for right-handed throwers and insufficient spring power, suggesting modifications like a tighter spring are needed for optimal performance.

This guide details the construction and experimental testing of a custom PVC potato cannon. The host, an experienced ballistics hobbyist, demonstrates its build using common materials and tests its power against various targets, including a ballistic dummy head. The video emphasizes the significant power of such devices and the critical importance of safety precautions.

This video details an experiment where the creators built their own body armor using layered hex tiles and Flex Seal. They then proceeded to test its effectiveness against various firearms, including .308, 5.56, .45 ACP, 9mm, .380 ACP, .22 Short, and shotgun slugs. The results consistently showed that the homemade armor failed to stop any of the tested projectiles, with most rounds penetrating all layers.

This video demonstrates the construction and ballistic testing of a DIY 'Christmas Body Armor' using a cookie tin filled with river pebbles. The creator, identified as an experienced tactical gear content creator, humorously tests its effectiveness against 9mm and 5.56x45mm rounds. While surprisingly effective at stopping these projectiles due to the fragmentation properties of the pebbles, the project is strictly for entertainment and not recommended for real-world protection.
