Videos tagged with Hay Bale

This video demonstrates a ballistic test using a hay bale as a projectile barrier against various firearm calibers. The Yee Yee Life Host, exhibiting safe firearm handling and structured testing, shows that common handgun and intermediate rifle rounds are stopped. However, a .50 BMG round successfully penetrates the hay bale and the drywall behind it, highlighting significant differences in terminal ballistics.

This video demonstrates a practical, albeit informal, ballistics test to determine the penetration capabilities of various firearms against a large hay bale. The experiment, conducted by an enthusiast, systematically tests calibers from 9mm up to .50 BMG, using cardboard and drywall to mark entry and exit points. It effectively illustrates that while hay bales offer significant cover against most common rounds, they are insufficient against high-powered sniper rifle ammunition like the .50 BMG.

This video compares the bullet-stopping capabilities of sandbags and hay bales for fortification purposes. The presenter, with apparent experience in firearms testing, demonstrates how various calibers, from 9mm to .308 Winchester, interact with stacked sandbags and hay bales. The sandbags, particularly those filled with small pebbles, proved significantly more effective at stopping rounds than the hay bales, which were penetrated by most calibers tested.
