This video conducts a comprehensive ballistic test to determine if forklift forks can stop various firearm rounds, from .22 LR up to a .50 BMG. The test, executed by an experienced individual, demonstrates that while forklift forks can withstand many common calibers, they are ultimately penetrated by the powerful .50 BMG round. The results provide practical insights into the ballistic resistance of industrial steel.

This video explains that grip depth differences between common handgun calibers like 9mm, .40 S&W, .357 SIG, and .45 ACP are minimal. It also touches on how some larger caliber revolvers, like .357 Magnum, require larger grips due to round length, and clarifies that Glock's SF models refer to short frames, not slim frames.
