This video features Shawn Ryan Show discussing a common bedroom myth. A sex expert debunks the internet's biggest bedroom myth, explaining the biological composition of female ejaculate and differentiating it from urine. The expert emphasizes communication as the best way to gauge a partner's pleasure.

This guide details an experimental test to debunk the myth that a .50 BMG round passing near a target can be lethal. Using a ballistic mannequin, cardboard indicators, and a concrete backstop, the test demonstrates that a near miss from a .50 BMG round does not impart enough shockwave or air pressure to cause fatal injury, though the projectile itself possesses immense kinetic energy as evidenced by its impact on the concrete block. The test was conducted objectively by an individual with high authority, indicated by their empirical testing methods and proper safety protocols.

This video provides an objective, expert-level assessment of suppressor effectiveness using a structured acoustic testing methodology. The speaker, demonstrating high practical field knowledge, debunks the myth of 'silent' suppressed firearms when using standard supersonic ammunition. The experiment clearly shows that even suppressed firearms remain audible at significant distances, challenging unrealistic Hollywood portrayals.

This video debunks common ballistics myths through experimental testing. A high-velocity .223 round in a .300 Win Mag case demonstrated significant expansion, contrary to popular belief. The accuracy of AR-15 platforms for hunting was proven with sub-MOA groups. The instructor also discussed recoil absorption techniques and optimal shot placement for hunting, supported by expert-level data and demonstrations.

This guide details the analysis of the AK-50's muzzle brake design, explaining how vent placement affects barrel whip. It also covers a practical test to debunk the myth that a .50 BMG shockwave can damage targets without direct impact. The insights are presented by Brandon Herrera, the lead designer, highlighting his deep technical expertise.

This guide details a practical experiment to debunk the myth that an AR-15 round would 'blow off' an ear. The Humble Marksman demonstrates through testing with pig ears that common rifle rounds, and even heavier calibers, create clean holes rather than explosive damage on thin tissue. The expert's analysis highlights the difference between tissue interaction and ballistics gel cavitation.

This guide debunks the myth that AK-style rifles are inherently inaccurate. The VSO Gun Channel Host demonstrates impressive accuracy with an AK-47 at 450 yards using iron sights, highlighting that modern semi-automatic versions are comparable to M16 platforms. The focus shifts to ammunition quality as the primary determinant of accuracy in contemporary firearms.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously debunks the myth of Glocks being made of porcelain and undetectable by metal detectors. It references the fictional Glock 7 from Die Hard 2, clarifying that real Glocks are not made of ceramic and are standard firearms. Lovell's high authority as a professional firearms instructor is evident in his clear explanation and proper handling.

This video features firearm experts Ian McCollum and Bloke on the Range debunking common myths about the AK-47, M16, and M1 Carbine. They provide historical context and technical explanations, drawing on their extensive knowledge of firearms.

This expert guide from 1ShotTV debunks the myth of .50 BMG near-miss damage. Using a Barrett M99 and a detailed ballistic torso, the test demonstrates that a round passing close to the target causes no damage, attributing this to the bullet's aerodynamic design minimizing external shockwave effects. The instructor's high authority level is evident through proficient handling and specialized equipment use.

This video features prominent firearms experts Eric (Iraqveteran8888) and Mike (Mrgunsngear) debunking common myths surrounding the AR-15 platform. They address misconceptions about full-auto fire, hunting ethics, terminal ballistics, reliability of budget models, accuracy standards, the meaning of 'AR', criminal usage statistics, and historical jamming issues. The discussion highlights the AR-15's versatility, reliability, and accuracy, supported by expert experience and data.
