This destructive test evaluates the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG round against multiple Level 3A ballistic helmets. The experiment demonstrates that even a tightly stacked configuration of these helmets offers negligible resistance to the powerful .50 BMG caliber, with the round easily passing through and igniting the materials. The video highlights the extreme power of the .50 BMG and the limitations of standard ballistic helmet protection against such high-energy threats.
This video demonstrates an experiment to 'curve' a .50 BMG round using custom bent galvanized pipes. The initial attempt with a sharp bend caused the pipe to rupture, but a second attempt with a more gradual bend successfully guided the bullet to a steel target. The experiment highlights the extreme power of the .50 BMG round and the challenges of redirecting such high-velocity projectiles.
This video showcases a custom-built, gold-plated miniature AK-47, demonstrating its functionality with tiny pellets. Tests include penetrating gummy bears, successfully igniting a 12-gauge shotgun primer, and puncturing a Red Bull can. The presenter, Edwin Sarkissian, highlights the engineering and novelty of this unique firearm.
This video showcases a destructive test involving a .50 caliber rifle and various flammable substances. The experiment involves shooting gasoline, oxygen, and acetylene to observe explosive reactions. A Serbu BFG-50A rifle is used for the .50 caliber shots, with an AK-47 employed for a secondary target.
This video features a dramatic return for Edwin Sarkissian and Jasperito, showcasing a unique TV penetration test. They systematically test various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, against a stack of LG televisions to determine stopping power. The results highlight significant differences in penetration capabilities across handgun and rifle rounds, culminating in an impressive .50 BMG test.
This video showcases a custom-modified M67 fragmentation grenade fitted with spikes and a 5-second delay pressure fuse, fired from a recurve bow. The experiment successfully destroyed a household dryer, demonstrating the effectiveness of the spike modification for preventing ricochets and ensuring detonation on target. Debris was found over 200 yards away, highlighting the explosive power.
This video tests the stopping power of various firearm calibers using Tootsie Rolls as a ballistic medium. It demonstrates how larger calibers like the .500 Magnum and .50 BMG require significantly more candy to be stopped compared to smaller rounds like .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP. The test also includes rifle calibers, showing their penetration capabilities in the candy.
This video, titled "This Broom is a Shotgun - Street Sweeper," uses a creative and attention-grabbing title to draw viewers in. The description provides social media links for the creator, Edwin Sarkissian, indicating a focus on unique and potentially experimental firearm modifications or concepts, rather than a standard review or range day. The title strongly suggests a visual demonstration of an unusual firearm, possibly a highly modified shotgun with a distinctive appearance.
This experiment demonstrates the extreme danger of exposing an M67 fragmentation grenade to high heat. The intense heat from a flamethrower inside an oven caused the grenade to detonate prematurely, resulting in a violent explosion that destroyed the oven and scattered shrapnel. The footage highlights the unpredictable and hazardous nature of ordnance when subjected to uncontrolled thermal stress.
This video tests the ballistic resistance of a MacBook Pro against .22 LR rounds fired from a Ruger Mark IV. While the laptop's screen and keyboard were destroyed, only one of the five shots fully penetrated the device, with internal components like the trackpad and battery stopping the others. The test highlights the surprising protective capabilities of everyday electronics against small caliber firearms.
This video showcases a highly customized Midwest Industries lever-action rifle chambered in .357 Magnum, featuring tactical furniture from Mad Pig Customs and modern accessories like M-LOK rails and a Vortex optic. The review includes live-fire testing, a ballistic comparison against a .357 Magnum revolver, and a demonstration of the Pulsefire flamethrower attachment. The rifle is praised for its accuracy, smooth operation, and modern aesthetic.
This video demonstrates a highly unconventional and potentially damaging method for cleaning firearms using a dishwasher and oven. While presented with satirical humor, the process involves washing handguns in a dishwasher, drying them with WD-40 and oven heat at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The creator, Edwin Sarkissian, uses this method to 'heat treat' barrels and remove moisture, but it carries significant risks.
