This video compares the terminal ballistics of 10mm Auto and .357 Magnum by firing them into a frozen lake. The visual evidence suggests the .357 Magnum created a slightly larger and deeper impact crater in the ice, indicating potentially greater energy transfer in this specific test. The presenter, Mr. Madness, demonstrates a casual yet experimental approach to caliber comparison.

This video demonstrates a ballistic comparison between .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition using an ice test. The host, Mr. Madness, fires both calibers from a Smith & Wesson Model 66 into a frozen surface. The .357 Magnum round clearly created a significantly larger and deeper impact crater than the .38 Special, with the .357 bullet being recovered while the .38 Special was not.

This video from Mr. Madness compares the terminal ballistics of a 9mm CZ PCR and a .45 ACP Smith & Wesson 1911 by firing them into solid ice. The experiment aims to visually demonstrate the difference in damage potential between the two popular calibers. While the 9mm bullet was not recovered, the .45 ACP bullet was found relatively intact, prompting a viewer-driven assessment of which caliber inflicted more damage.

This video provides an in-depth review and ice retention test of the Blue Coolers 30 Quart Roto-Molded Cooler. The reviewer details the cooler's features, assesses how long ice stays frozen, and offers their overall opinion. The description also includes affiliate links for the cooler, various apparel brands (Killdozer, 1776 United, Nine Line Apparel), and the reviewer's social media and website links.

This video conducts a rigorous freeze test on four popular rifles: Sig MCX Virtus, IWI X95, CZ Bren 2, and Beretta ARX 160, in 12°F weather. After initial freezing and successful firing, an extreme test involving spraying water directly into the actions revealed significant performance differences. The IWI X95 proved flawless, while the Sig Virtus, Beretta ARX 160, and CZ Bren 2 experienced various malfunctions.

Mike Chiarappa of Hunt Fish Shoot provides an in-depth 1000-round update on the Staccato C2 Duo 9mm pistol. He details the installation of a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro optic using a Dawson Precision mount and discusses the firearm's impressive reliability, including a rigorous snow and ice test. Chiarappa concludes the Staccato C2 Duo is a highly recommended semi-custom option for enthusiasts.

This video tests the penetration power of .50 BMG rounds through ice. A 660gr FMJ and a blue-tip incendiary round were stopped by the third bucket of ice, while a solid brass round penetrated to the fourth bucket. The experiment highlights that even powerful .50 BMG rounds can be stopped by a relatively small amount of ice.

This .357 Magnum ice test compares 158 grain FMJ and 125 grain Hollow Point ammunition. The FMJ penetrated four ice blocks, while the Hollow Point penetrated three. The FMJ showed minimal bullet remains, highlighting its penetration focus.

This experiment tests how much ice is required to stop a 9mm bullet. Using 12 homemade ice blocks, each 2-2.5 inches thick, the test found that approximately 6-7.5 inches of ice (3 blocks) was sufficient to halt a 115-grain 9mm FMJ round. The footage captures the dramatic impact and shattering of the ice in slow motion.

This cold weather ice test evaluated four modern rifles: Colt 6920, Sig Sauer MCX, Krebs AC15 (AK), and Beretta ARX 100. The Beretta ARX 100 proved to be the most reliable, functioning flawlessly despite extreme icing. The AR-15 platforms experienced issues with frozen magazine releases, while the AK suffered a stock failure during clearing, highlighting critical vulnerabilities in extreme conditions.

This video from AK Operators Union details a brutal durability test of the Primary Arms PA MD-ADS Micro Dot optic. The optic was frozen in a solid ice block for 24 hours, then subjected to a significant drop onto concrete. Despite the extreme conditions and impact, the red dot remained illuminated and functional, demonstrating impressive resilience.
