This video from TA Targets compares three common target types: cardboard, self-healing, and steel. It visually demonstrates how each target type reacts to bullet impacts, showing holes in cardboard, surface marks on self-healing targets, and audible pings with paint damage on steel. The comparison highlights the different feedback mechanisms and durability characteristics of each target, aiding viewers in selecting the best option for their shooting needs.

This guide details a test of a 30cm soda can launcher attached to an AR-style receiver, using 350ml Mountain Dew cans as projectiles fired with blanks. The test involved aiming at a ballistic gel head and analyzing the impact, noting significant damage and target displacement. The recoil was compared to a 12 gauge shotgun, and manual cycling was required due to insufficient pressure from blanks.

This video from Backfire showcases the immense power of the 'Elephant Gun' bolt-action rifle. The host demonstrates its capability by firing at a 1/2 inch steel plate and water jugs, captured with a high-speed camera to analyze the dramatic impact. The demonstration highlights the rifle's effectiveness in a desert shooting range environment.

This video features an informal ballistic test comparing a .45 ACP 1911 pistol against a WWII Japanese military helmet. The test, conducted by a firearms enthusiast from Yee Yee Life, demonstrates the helmet's ability to withstand a direct impact, though the resulting deformation caused significant damage to the mannequin head beneath. The visual evidence highlights the energy transfer and penetration capabilities of the 1911 pistol against historical military equipment.

This video showcases the formidable M2 .50 caliber machine gun engaging steel silhouette targets. The presenter, demonstrating experienced handling, highlights the raw power of the .50 cal round as it impacts and visibly deforms the steel plates. The footage includes close-ups and slow-motion to emphasize the destructive force and the resilience of the targets under sustained fire.

This video demonstrates the impact of a Firequest 12-gauge rubber slug on a Cranium Target Ballistic Gel head. The host, a content creator and gear reviewer from 704 Tactical, showcases the gel head's features, including its sticky adhesive backing and gel containment system. The slow-motion footage highlights the projectile's significant impact on the gel's facial area, confirming the durability of the ballistic gel target.

This video demonstrates a ballistics gel test using a .50 BMG round fired from a Raptor 50 rifle. The experiment, conducted by a firearms enthusiast, uses rubber ducks and a gel face model to visualize energy transfer and impact effects. The results show significant destruction to the gel and the supporting structure, highlighting the power of the .50 BMG cartridge.

This review from 704 Tactical examines the HV Star 12 Gauge rounds, featuring a unique rubberized star projectile. The video demonstrates their performance on various targets, including a rubberized impact surface and a water jug wrapped in clothing, showcasing their less-lethal or novelty application. The host, an experienced reviewer, uses slow-motion analysis to detail the projectile's behavior upon impact.

This video demonstrates the preparation and firing of a "Grapeshot Load" using a small-scale cannon. The host, exhibiting high authority and expertise, details the process of filling a soda can with half-inch ball bearings and using Hodgdon Pyrodex P propellant. The impact on a car door is then analyzed, showcasing significant damage, including punctures and shattered windows.

This guide details a destructive testing procedure for evaluating armor's effectiveness against a 20mm cannon round, using a ballistic dummy. The experiment, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates the severe blunt force trauma even non-penetrating hits can cause, highlighting the limitations of current armor against extremely high-caliber threats. The tests also show the devastating effect of direct hits on unprotected areas.

This video demonstrates a test of Firequest 12 Gauge Double Slug ammunition against Safe Life Defense body armor. The host, a tactical gear reviewer, uses a water bucket test to show kinetic energy and then fires the double slugs at body armor with a paper backing. The results show the armor successfully stopped both slugs, with one slug appearing to ram the other.

This video provides an experimental comparison between Federal 9mm Frangible and standard 9mm FMJ ammunition, as demonstrated by 704 Tactical Host. The test focuses on how each round behaves upon impact with a concrete paver, highlighting the frangible round's tendency to disintegrate and dissipate energy, making it safer for steel target shooting, while the FMJ round shows significantly more destructive penetration. The host, an experienced firearms reviewer, emphasizes range safety and explains energy dissipation concepts.
