The experiment highlights the significant differences in terminal ballistics between various firearm cartridges.

This guide details an experimental approach to trigger press technique, challenging conventional wisdom. Expert instructor Ziga demonstrates that with a stable sight picture and controlled trigger break, accurate shots can be achieved even with unconventional finger placements on the trigger. The Laugo Arms Alien pistol is used to showcase these advanced marksmanship principles.

This video demonstrates an experimental technique for attempting to curve a .50 BMG projectile through custom-bent galvanized steel pipes using a Serbu RN50 rifle. The experiment highlights the immense power of the .50 BMG round, showing a pipe rupture on a sharp bend and a successful navigation of a more gradual curve. The presenter, Edwin Sarkissian, showcases proficient handling of high-caliber firearms and an understanding of breech-loading mechanics, emphasizing safety with proper protection and remote firing.

This video explores a unique and unconventional concept: firing gummy bears from a firearm to see if it's possible or effective. The title suggests an experimental approach to testing the efficacy of this unusual projectile. The content likely involves a practical demonstration, showcasing the process and the results of shooting gummy bears, potentially comparing it to traditional ammunition or simply investigating the phenomenon.

This video explores the effectiveness of shooting a handgun sideways, often termed 'gangsta style'. The speaker, identified as firearms enthusiast JaredAF, demonstrates the technique with a Beretta 92FS in 9mm Luger on an outdoor range. Despite the non-standard grip, the speaker successfully hits a steel torso target multiple times, indicating potential effectiveness for accuracy at moderate distances, though safety and proper handling remain paramount.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features an expert firearms instructor, Scott, conducting an experimental test to determine if dry ice can stop bullets. The experiment progresses from .22 LR up to a powerful 20mm Vulcan rifle, demonstrating the surprising resilience of dry ice and the immense power of large-caliber firearms. Scott's high-energy, humorous, and experimental approach, combined with his deep knowledge of ballistics and specialized firearms, provides an engaging and informative look at projectile dynamics against an unusual medium.

This guide details a technique for shooting a pistol with completely removed sights, as demonstrated by JaredAF. It emphasizes safety protocols, including loading only two rounds to test functionality and prevent potential malfunctions. The demonstration highlights the challenge of accurate shooting at 25 yards without sights, with the shooter expressing surprise at hitting the target.

This video demonstrates that a semi-automatic pistol, specifically a Ruger MK IV in .22 LR, can function correctly even when held upside down. The presenter, JaredAF, debunks common claims about limp-wristing and unconventional grip causing malfunctions by firing multiple shots and performing a mag dump in this orientation. A critical safety takeaway emphasizes ensuring the slide reciprocates away from the shooter's body to prevent injury.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an enthusiastic firearms enthusiast testing the ballistic capabilities of couch cushions against a 12-gauge slug fired from a bullpup shotgun. The experiment, conducted at an outdoor range, demonstrates proper firearm handling and a clear cause-and-effect analysis as the slug penetrates multiple cushions and impacts a dummy target. It highlights an experimental approach to understanding projectile performance in unconventional mediums.
