This video rigorously tests the lethality of modern crossbows using a realistic ballistic dummy. Various broadheads, including fixed-blade Muzzy Trocar and mechanical options like CenterPunch and Rage, are tested. The results demonstrate extreme penetration and significant wound channels, confirming the high lethality of these hunting tools, even in headshot scenarios.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of various archery equipment against fresh coconuts. A traditional bow at 170 fps penetrated one coconut, a compound bow at 340 fps penetrated two to three, and a crossbow exceeding 400 fps also penetrated multiple coconuts, demonstrating significant power differences.
This experiment tests how many footballs an arrow can penetrate using different bows. A PSE compound bow and a TenPoint crossbow, both shooting around 340-370 fps, stopped arrows in the sixth football. A traditional recurve bow, however, only penetrated the first football, demonstrating a significant power difference.
This video compares the real-life performance of Minecraft-inspired bows and crossbows against FBI-standard ballistic gel. A PSE Heritage recurve bow at 100 fps penetrated halfway, while a PSE compound bow at 350 fps with a broadhead passed through the entire gel torso. The TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow, boasting 470 fps and 192 ft-lbs of energy, nearly penetrated a 20-inch gel block with a Muzzy broadhead.
This video tests the ballistic resistance of budget riot shields against various archery projectiles. While a single shield can stop a basic recurve bow arrow, higher-velocity compound bows and crossbows easily penetrate. The experiment concludes that at least three layers of these $50 shields are needed to stop high-powered crossbow bolts.
