This video from Kentucky Ballistics, featuring Scott, delves into the kinetic impact of various firearms on a specialized punching machine equipped with ceramic body armor plates. The experiment highlights how different calibers and projectile types transfer energy, with heavier rounds like the .50 BMG and .338 Lapua demonstrating significantly more 'punch' than standard rifle calibers. The high-energy, experimental approach provides unique insights into ballistic energy transfer.

This demonstration showcases the operational procedure of the 37mm M3A1 Anti-Tank Gun, including loading, aiming, and live-fire execution. The video highlights the significant recoil and muzzle blast associated with firing this historical artillery piece, and provides a visual analysis of the shell's kinetic impact on target vehicles. Instruction is provided by an operator with high authority and expertise in vintage artillery performance.

This guide details the scientific testing of a 40mm grenade launcher against a realistic ballistic torso at point-blank range, as demonstrated by Garand Thumb. The analysis focuses on the kinetic impact of the projectile when it fails to arm, revealing its devastating effects on simulated human tissue and disproving video game tropes. Expert insights highlight the importance of training over gear.
