Videos tagged with Ice Penetration

This video from Civilian Tactical tests the penetration capabilities of various firearm calibers when shot into a frozen lake. An experienced instructor demonstrates how a .22 Magnum had minimal effect, a .380 Auto and 9mm showed moderate penetration, a .45 ACP performed similarly to the 9mm, and a 7.62x39mm rifle round from an AK-47 created significant damage.

This video showcases a .22 caliber powder-actuated nail gun, specifically using Remington cartridges, being fired into solid ice on a frozen lake. The demonstration highlights the tool's power, with the nail penetrating approximately two inches into the ice. The content is presented by 'Mr. Madness' with an enthusiastic and experimental tone, focusing on the visual impact and performance of the tool in an unconventional environment.

This video tests the ability of a 5kg block of medical-grade solid ice to stop a shotgun blast. It demonstrates that while ice can stop birdshot, it fails against buckshot, with pellets penetrating the ice and a milk jug target. The video also briefly mentions a service for automatic ammunition stacking.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics demonstrates a unique test of .50 BMG ammunition penetration through ice. Expert Scott tests three different types of .50 BMG rounds against stacked 5-gallon buckets of ice in sub-freezing temperatures. The results show varying degrees of penetration, highlighting the power of the .50 BMG cartridge.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test comparing the penetration capabilities of 158 grain FMJ and 125 grain Hollow Point .357 Magnum ammunition through ice blocks. The test, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, shows the FMJ penetrating four blocks while the Hollow Point penetrated three, with differing bullet recovery results. The expert-level demonstration highlights practical ballistic performance differences between common bullet types.

This guide details an experiment to determine how much ice is required to stop a 9mm bullet. It outlines the setup, ammunition used, firing procedure, and analysis of results, emphasizing safe firearm handling and the use of protective gear. The experiment, conducted by firearms content creator Edwin Sarkissian, provides practical insight into projectile energy transfer and stopping power.
