This guide details the analysis of the AK-50's muzzle brake design, explaining how vent placement affects barrel whip. It also covers a practical test to debunk the myth that a .50 BMG shockwave can damage targets without direct impact. The insights are presented by Brandon Herrera, the lead designer, highlighting his deep technical expertise.

Brandon Herrera, a recognized firearms expert and manufacturer, uses high-speed footage and ballistic testing to analyze the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The video aims to debunk conspiracy theories by demonstrating the ballistics of a 5.56mm round grazing an ear and the effectiveness of counter-sniper fire from a .300 Win Mag rifle. Herrera emphasizes the difficulty of precise shots at range and condemns political violence.

This guide details the experimental technique of firing a custom-modified M67 fragmentation grenade, fitted with external spikes and a pressure-activated fuse, from a bow at a target. The video demonstrates the successful application of this modification, highlighting the destructive potential and tactical considerations for preventing ricochet. The process involves careful preparation of the modified ordnance and precise execution of the shot.

This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring Matt Carriker, explores whether a spinning airplane propeller can stop a bullet. The experiment involves modifying a van to spin a propeller and then firing 5.56x45mm NATO and .308 Winchester rounds at it. The results show that propellers shatter and create shrapnel rather than stopping bullets, concluding they are not effective shields.

This video from Garand Thumb provides an expert-level analysis of .50 caliber explosive rounds, specifically the Raufoss Mk 211 APIE, tested against realistic ballistic torsos and armor. The demonstration highlights the devastating terminal ballistics and anti-material capabilities of this specialized ammunition, showcasing its effects through high-speed footage and detailed explanations of its components and impact dynamics.

This video from Taran Tactical, featuring renowned instructor Taran Butler, experimentally tests the famous 'Dirty Harry' claim about the .44 Magnum's destructive power. Using realistic ballistic dummies, they demonstrate the catastrophic damage inflicted by both a Smith & Wesson Model 29 chambered in .44 Magnum and a 44 Auto Mag, concluding that while heads don't literally fly off, the destructive potential is immense.

This demonstration showcases a rare Israeli 7.62x51 NATO tear gas cartridge, valued between $50 and $1000 per round. Fired from a Savage bolt-action rifle with a Vortex scope, the round's impact on a steel target is captured in high-speed footage, revealing a distinct tear gas cloud. The video highlights the exotic nature of this specialized ammunition.

This video demonstrates the destructive power of a Serbu 20mm rifle against a cast-iron fire hydrant. Expert Edwin Sarkissian, collaborating with firearm designer Mark Serbu, showcases various 20mm ammunition types and their effects. The experiment highlights the significant impact energy of the 20mm round, capable of completely destroying the hydrant's cast-iron body and even damaging nearby equipment. The demonstration emphasizes safe handling of large-caliber weaponry in an experimental ballistics context.

This video demonstrates a dangerous experiment involving ricocheting a .50 BMG projectile off a titanium block. Expert firearms content creator Edwin Sarkissian showcases the Serbu BFG-50A rifle and APIT rounds, highlighting the unpredictable nature and destructive potential of ricochets. The experiment, while visually striking, serves as a strong warning against attempting such activities due to inherent risks.

This video analyzes an interesting extractor failure on a Schwarzlose 1898 pistol using slow-motion footage. The description discusses the necessity of extractors in firearms, noting that some early blowback pistols and later Spanish models functioned without them, relying on residual chamber pressure. The Schwarzlose 1898, however, is equipped with an extractor that malfunctioned in this shooting session. Two instances that appeared normal in real-time were revealed as extractor failures upon reviewing the high-speed footage, making them an excellent case study.

This video provides an enthusiastic review of the FN SCAR 17S by FPSRussia, detailing its $5,000 setup cost including an Elcan SpecterDR optic. The demonstration focuses on the rifle's power and accuracy through engaging concrete blocks and yams, captured with high-speed cameras. The presenter highlights the 7.62x51mm caliber's effectiveness and praises the overall performance of the platform.
