Brandon Herrera, a recognized firearm manufacturer and ballistics expert, analytically tests theories surrounding the Cybertruck incident. He demonstrates the manageable recoil of the .50 AE Desert Eagle, its penetration power, and tests the Cybertruck's Autopilot limitations. The video also covers muzzle flash visibility and the effectiveness of NIJ Level 3A armor against .50 AE rounds, providing valuable insights into firearm performance and vehicle safety systems.

This guide details a ballistic test comparing the penetration capabilities of the 5.45x18mm PSM pistol and the 7.62x25mm Tokarev pistol against NIJ Level 3A soft body armor. The test, conducted by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons, reveals that while both calibers can penetrate this level of armor, the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round imparts significantly more energy and causes greater damage to the vest and backing material. The PSM, despite its thin profile, creates cleaner holes with less energy transfer.
