This YouTube video features Andy and Drake conducting a ballistic test using a human-sized torso from Ballistic Dummy Lab. They evaluate the impact of various common calibers, culminating in a test of the powerful .408 Cheytac. The video highlights the destructive potential of each caliber and offers a glimpse into the capabilities of Ballistic Dummy Lab products. Sponsors for the video include SDI, USCCA, and Last Shot Ammo, with discount codes and links provided.

This video conducts a dramatic comparison between the terminal ballistics of G9 80-grain hollow-point ammunition and a flamethrower, both tested against a ballistic gel torso. The G9 ammo demonstrates significantly more destructive terminal performance than standard AAC 124-grain FMJ, creating larger wound cavities. The flamethrower test simulates extreme thermal trauma, melting and charring the gel.

This video tests the lethality of nail guns against a ballistic gel torso, comparing battery-powered and powder-actuated models. While battery nailers show limited penetration, powder-actuated tools are proven lethal at point-blank range, shattering bone and damaging organs. The experiment debunks movie tropes, showing nails fired from a distance lack accuracy and penetration power.

This video tests a BulletSafe Level 3A vest against various 12-gauge shotgun loads using a ballistic torso. While birdshot caused minimal damage, 00 buckshot and slugs resulted in significant blunt force trauma, broken ribs, and in some cases, penetration. The test highlights the limitations of soft body armor against high-powered shotgun rounds, even when the projectile is stopped.

This video experimentally tests the danger of bullet ricochets against a realistic human torso dummy. While point-blank tests with 9mm and 5.56mm showed minimal damage, glancing ricochets proved highly dangerous, causing fragmentation and significant trauma. The .375 H&H Magnum demonstrated extreme lethality in a glancing ricochet scenario, emphasizing the unpredictable and severe risks associated with deflected rounds.

This video tests the BulletSafe VP3 Level IIIA vest against various calibers up to .44 Magnum using a realistic human torso dummy. While the vest stopped all tested rounds, including a .44 Magnum and 12-gauge buckshot, significant backface deformation and blunt force trauma were evident, especially with higher-energy rounds. The dummy's shoulder blade was broken by buckshot, and severe bruising was indicated by the .44 Magnum impact.

This video debunks the myth that handgun rounds can expel organs from a ballistic torso. Testing 9mm, .44 Magnum, and .500 Magnum calibers, the host demonstrates significant internal damage but no organ expulsion. The .500 Magnum, even with heavy hollow points, causes extreme trauma but keeps organs contained, highlighting its effectiveness for self-defense.

This video tests the effectiveness and dangers of using a flare gun for self-defense. While a flare gun can ignite materials and cause internal damage to a ballistic torso, its single-shot capacity, slow reload, and high risk of starting fires make it an irresponsible and dangerous choice for defense. The test highlights the unpredictable nature and significant fire hazard associated with using flare guns in a defensive scenario.

This video tests the terminal ballistics of a .375 H&H Magnum 'elephant gun' against a realistic human torso. Using a 300-grain expanding round, it demonstrated massive tissue damage and rib destruction. A solid .375 H&H round showed extreme penetration, while a .45-70 and a .50 caliber rifle were also tested for comparison, with the .50 caliber causing catastrophic damage.
