This video provides a practical demonstration of body armor and helmet effectiveness, featuring an Armored Republic Level 4 C2MH plate and a Protection Group Denmark Fast Cut helmet. The host, from Civilian Tactical, uses a budget $250 AR-15 build to conduct a live-fire test, firing 30 rounds at a target simulating vital organs and head protection. The results suggest body armor is highly likely to offer protection in general shooting scenarios.
This video by Edwin Sarkissian compares the ballistic performance of the .45 ACP and .38 Super calibers, specifically within the context of 1911-style pistols. The testing involved penetration through paper and a Level 3A ballistic helmet. The .45 ACP showed less penetration through paper but was stopped by the helmet, while the .38 Super penetrated more paper but also failed to penetrate the helmet, indicating different performance characteristics under stress.
This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-level tactical and firearms influencer, testing the Hatsan Harpoon arrow launcher. The Harpoon, a Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) device, launches arrows at 600 fps with 300 ft-lbs of energy. Tests demonstrate its significant penetration power, exceeding that of a 9mm handgun through paper and easily piercing sheet metal and Level 3A body armor. The Harpoon is presented as a serious hunting tool, not a toy.
