This video explores the unconventional self-defense potential of firing golf balls from a rifle-mounted launcher. Testing reveals that golf balls, when propelled by blank .223/5.56 ammunition, possess significant kinetic energy, capable of penetrating a gallon of milk and becoming deeply embedded in ballistic gelatin, indicating a lethal rather than less-lethal outcome.
This video showcases the 'Skittle Blaster 3000', an experimental AR-15 modification using a golf ball launcher to fire Skittles as a less-lethal deterrent. Testing on ballistics gel confirmed the candy's inability to penetrate, validating its non-lethal projectile status. The host also demonstrated a safe transition back to live ammunition.
This video tests a viewer-suggested DIY suppressor method using a golf ball launcher on a Bersa Thunder .22 pistol. Experiments with standard and subsonic .22 LR ammunition, both with and without tissue packing, failed to achieve any significant sound suppression. The host demonstrates proper range safety and discusses the principles of sound suppression.
This video debunks the myth that a golf ball launcher is a silencer. While it significantly alters the sound profile of a 9mm pistol, making it a 'deep thump' rather than a sharp crack, it does not suppress the noise effectively. Testing with both standard and subsonic ammunition reveals that the device functions as a hollow expansion chamber, primarily designed for launching golf balls using blanks.
This video showcases the Can Cannon, a unique firearm accessory, along with its golf ball ammo conversion kit. The title and description hint at references to the ATF, US Army, and the video game Call of Duty, suggesting a blend of firearm functionality with cultural and tactical associations. The AR-15 platform is explicitly mentioned, indicating the base firearm for the Can Cannon. The content appears to be a demonstration or review of this specialized attachment and its ammunition.
This YouTube video showcases a unique and "stupid fun" firearm setup: a revolver modified to launch golf balls. The description explicitly mentions a "Revolver Shooting Golf balls," indicating a novelty or custom build focused on an unconventional application of a revolver. The video is from the "Deuce and Guns" channel, which suggests a broader focus on firearms content.
This video demonstrates the use of an AR-15 equipped with a golf ball launcher attachment as a high-powered marshmallow gun. The host, from Civilian Tactical, emphasizes safety procedures, including clearing the firearm and ensuring no live rounds are present before loading marshmallows and a blank cartridge. The demonstration shows the marshmallows launching effectively, described as 'marshmallow grape shot.' The video also features a giveaway announcement for a custom Jeep Gladiator, celebrating the channel's subscriber milestone.
This video explores the creation of a powerful potato cannon using an AR-15 platform with a golf ball launcher attachment. Initial tests with blank rounds resulted in the potato exploding, indicating the need for modifications like a wad to protect the projectile. The host emphasizes safety protocols throughout the experiment.
This video tests the Durkin Tactical AR-15 Golf Ball Launcher at a 100-yard range. The launcher, firing standard golf balls using .223/5.56 blanks, demonstrated surprising accuracy and power, impacting a dueling tree with enough force to swing multiple paddles. The host noted the unique dimpled imprint left by the golf ball on steel targets, estimating a maximum range exceeding 500 yards.
This video showcases the surprising power of the Strike Industries Golf Ball Launcher, a muzzle attachment for .308 rifles. Firing golf balls with blank cartridges demonstrates significant destructive potential, capable of denting metal plates and splitting watermelons. The experiment also briefly explores launching snow, highlighting the versatility and unexpected applications of specialized firearm accessories.
Edwin Sarkissian tests the Strike Industries Golf Ball Launcher on a Leviathan Defense .308 rifle. The review highlights the launcher's ability to pass live rounds and its effectiveness in launching projectiles like golf balls, snow, and even causing a spray paint can to explode. The video showcases impressive kinetic energy transfer and the versatility of the muzzle device.
This video showcases a unique application of a golf ball launcher at the Annual Oshkosh Police Department Benevolent golf outing held at Utica Golf Club.
