This video tests common household objects and vehicle components as ballistic cover against various calibers including .22 LR, 9mm, .223, 12 gauge, and 300 Blackout. The experiment uses ballistic dummies to determine if objects provide cover (stopping rounds) or concealment (not stopping rounds). Results indicate that most everyday items offer minimal to no effective cover against common firearm calibers, with only certain materials and calibers showing potential to stop rounds.

This video from Louisiana Firearms humorously tests the ballistic resistance of a Lodge Cast Iron Skillet against various calibers, from 9mm to .50 BMG. The instructor, demonstrating experienced firearm handling, compares the penetration and damage inflicted by each round. While presented with entertainment value, the segment offers insights into projectile performance against a dense, non-standard material, highlighting the destructive power of larger calibers.

This video from Yee Yee Life demonstrates the ballistic effects of various calibers (.22 LR, 9mm, .223, .50 BMG) impacting a vehicle. Using a dummy named 'Fred' equipped with recording devices, the experiment visually showcases projectile penetration, glass fragmentation, and structural damage. The high-energy, informal presentation highlights the destructive power of firearms against automotive materials, culminating in a catastrophic .50 BMG impact.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an enthusiastic host conducting a high-energy ballistic test, firing progressively more powerful calibers at an engine block. The experiment demonstrates the penetration capabilities of firearms ranging from 9mm to a .50 BMG sniper rifle, providing visual evidence of each round's impact and stopping power. The host's expertise is evident in his clear explanations and adherence to range safety protocols, making this an engaging and informative demonstration of firearm ballistics.

This video showcases a very small firearm designed to resemble a wallet, chambered in .22 LR. The presenter conducts a ballistic gelatin test to assess its penetration capabilities, concluding that despite its size, the weapon is "incredibly lethal" based on the test results.

This video details an extreme durability test of a Hyosung ATM, subjecting it to a wide array of ballistic impacts from various firearms, ranging from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The test, conducted by firearms enthusiasts Parker and Zach, demonstrates the remarkable resilience of ATM construction, with most calibers failing to breach the vault. Ultimately, manual breaching was required to retrieve a golf ball placed inside.

This video tests Remington's low-decibel, subsonic .410 ammunition, advertised at 650 ft/s, using ballistic gel. The instructor questions its suitability for hunting small game like squirrels due to limited penetration, especially when factoring in hide and muscle tissue. Chronograph readings exceeded advertised velocity, but penetration in gel was significantly less than a BB gun, raising concerns about humane dispatch.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-authority firearms influencer, conducting a unique ballistics test. He uses hot dogs as a medium to demonstrate the penetration capabilities of various calibers, including .22 LR, .45 ACP, .50 AE, and the powerful .500 S&W Magnum. The experiment highlights how bullet expansion, particularly with hollow points, can limit penetration depth.

This video demonstrates the M240B's effectiveness in turning cover into concealment by penetrating common barriers like cinder blocks and car doors. Expert insights from Michael Jones (Garand Thumb) and a professional machine gunner highlight the destructive power of 7.62x51mm NATO rounds and discuss practical applications and maintenance. The content emphasizes the weapon's role in suppressing enemy positions and its reliability in various scenarios.

This video simulates a home invasion scenario to test the ballistic resistance of common household items against firearms like the Canik METE MC9 and Sig Sauer Spear LT. Expert insights from Matt Carriker reveal that most household items offer little to no reliable ballistic protection, emphasizing the importance of understanding terminal ballistics in self-defense contexts.

This video challenges the notion that .22LR is ineffective, demonstrating its penetration capabilities with a Glock 44. The demonstration involves shooting at a car's metal body to showcase the round's impact. It highlights the importance of understanding firearm calibers beyond common misconceptions.
