This video tests the ballistic penetration capabilities of a 100-pound lead block against various firearm calibers, from .22LR up to a .50 BMG. The test demonstrates that while smaller calibers leave minimal marks, larger rounds create significant craters. Notably, even powerful rifle rounds like the .308 and .223 fail to fully penetrate the block, highlighting lead's effectiveness as a projectile barrier. The .50 BMG is the only caliber shown to successfully penetrate the entire block and reach the target behind it.
This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic penetration of various firearm calibers through standard decks of playing cards. The host, demonstrating enthusiasm and proper firearm handling, shows how many decks are needed to stop rounds from 9mm up to .50 BMG. The results highlight the significant differences in power and penetration capabilities across common handgun and rifle cartridges.
In this experiment from Yee Yee Life, Parker tests the stopping power of a bowling ball against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. While the bowling ball effectively stops handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP, and even rifle rounds like 5.56 and .308, it is ultimately penetrated by the powerful .50 BMG round. The test highlights the significant difference in energy and penetration capabilities between different firearm calibers.
This video from Yee Yee Life features an experiment testing the ballistic penetration of Feastables chocolate bars against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The results show a clear correlation between caliber size and penetration depth, with larger calibers easily passing through dozens of bars. The host, demonstrating safe firearm handling, provides an entertaining look at projectile energy transfer.
This video from Yee Yee Life conducts a compelling ballistic test, firing progressively powerful calibers into an engine block to assess penetration capabilities. The experiment demonstrates how even a .50 BMG round is ultimately stopped by the cast iron structure, highlighting the surprising resilience of the engine block. The host's enthusiastic approach and clear demonstrations provide valuable insights into projectile performance against dense materials.
This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of a Jasper 350 V8 engine block against various firearms, culminating in a .50 caliber anti-material rifle. The host, Parker, demonstrates how even powerful rounds are significantly slowed or stopped by the dense cast iron of the engine block. The testing provides a unique insight into the structural integrity of engine blocks under extreme ballistic stress, showcasing the effectiveness of the engine block as a makeshift ballistic barrier.
This review of the Standard Manufacturing Switch Gun by Civilian Tactical highlights its exceptionally small, wallet-like form factor, chambered in .22 LR. The video demonstrates its unique folding mechanism, requiring manual hammer cocking for each shot. Despite its diminutive size, ballistics gel tests reveal surprising lethality, with rounds penetrating over 12 inches.
