In this video, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics tests the durability of giant 36-inch steel scissors against various calibers of ammunition. Initially, the scissors are tested for their cutting ability on branches, demonstrating surprising effectiveness before breaking. The main experiment involves shooting the scissors with calibers ranging from .22 Long Rifle up to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm cause minimal damage, larger calibers like .45 ACP and .500 S&W Magnum begin to break down the scissors, particularly the plastic handles and eventually the steel blades. The test culminates with a .50 BMG round, which successfully obliterates the scissors.
