This video demonstrates a series of ballistic tests on a pair of 36-inch giant steel scissors, using various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The tests, conducted by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, show how the scissors' structural integrity degrades with increasing firearm power. While the .22 LR and 9mm had minimal effect on the blades, the .45 ACP caused the scissors to break at the pivot, and the .500 S&W Magnum and .50 BMG rounds completely destroyed the tool.
