This video tests the lethality of blank rounds using a ballistic dummy head and a Nemo Arms FX rifle. While blanks can cause painful surface injuries and pitting at close range due to muzzle blast and gas expulsion, they did not cause skull fractures or simulated blood expulsion in this test. The experiment highlights the importance of understanding firearm safety even with seemingly inert ammunition.

This video thoroughly debunks the 'Mercury Bullet Myth' by conducting rigorous ballistic tests on modified hollow-point rounds. Experiments using steel targets, pine boards, computer paper, and ballistic gel demonstrate that adding mercury to a hollow point does not result in explosive expansion or significantly enhanced terminal performance. The tests conclude that mercury-filled bullets perform similarly to standard hollow points, with some tests showing even lesser performance.

This video debunks the 'blow your head clean off' myth associated with the .44 Magnum, using ballistic dummies for destructive testing. While the head doesn't detach, the damage from both a .44 Magnum revolver and a .44 Auto Mag is shown to be catastrophic, effectively validating the movie's sentiment. The experiment highlights the immense power and terminal ballistics of these calibers.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of bell peppers by shooting them. The title suggests a focus on projectile penetration and the effectiveness of common objects against firearms. While no specific firearms or calibers are mentioned, the premise directly relates to ballistic performance and would appeal to those interested in the physics of firearms and projectile interaction with materials.
