This video tests the ballistic penetration of a reinforced cinderblock wall against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG sniper rifle. The wall, filled with Quikrete, successfully stopped handgun rounds (.22 LR to .44 Magnum) and intermediate rifle rounds (5.56mm, .308), with the 5.56mm penetrating about 3 inches. However, the .50 BMG round completely penetrated the wall, hitting the target dummy.

This ballistic test evaluates an excavator bucket's ability to stop various firearms, from handguns to a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers and even .308/ .450 Bushmaster only dented the bucket, the .50 BMG round, including an Armor Piercing Incendiary variant, successfully penetrated the heavy equipment, demonstrating its extreme power.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms, from handguns to a .50 caliber sniper rifle, against a 20-inch wide oak tree. Surprisingly, even the .50 caliber API rounds were stopped by the tree's density, demonstrating its effectiveness as cover. The host, Parker, conducts the tests with a high-energy, enthusiastic approach.

This video from Yee Yee Life, hosted by Parker, tests the ballistic resistance of a 300lb cast iron sewer lid against various calibers, from handguns to a .50 BMG sniper rifle with an API round. The test reveals that while smaller calibers cause minimal damage, a .308 round from an FN SCAR 17 successfully penetrates, and the .50 BMG API round easily obliterates the lid and subsequent targets. The video demonstrates a high-energy, albeit informal, approach to ballistics testing.

This video demonstrates the PKM machine gun's quick-change barrel system, highlighting the functional use of the carry handle for removing a hot barrel. It also showcases the installation of a Rugged Surge 762 suppressor, confirming its belt-fed rating. The expert, Parker, emphasizes proper weapon clearing before maintenance.

The 28 bore shotgun offers a compelling balance of power and manageability, delivering 12-bore-level penetration within 30-40 yards with significantly less recoil. While its history dates back to the 1800s, modern loads like the 21g (3/4 oz) are considered optimal. It serves as an excellent introductory caliber, surpassing the .410 due to higher pellet count, though cartridge cost is a consideration.

This video demonstrates a detailed process for cleaning and restoring old 10 gauge brass shotgun shells, specifically Winchester brand cases from around 1874. It covers de-priming, washing with hot soapy water, scrubbing corrosion with steel wool, brightening with vinegar, and final polishing in a vibratory tumbler to achieve a like-new appearance for reloading.

This video details the process of recreating original-style flat-top checkering on a Parker Side-by-Side shotgun. It emphasizes using an original firearm as a reference for the pattern, which starts at the guard and extends over the top. The tutorial covers essential tools like checkering cradles and specialized flat-top cutters, along with precise layout techniques for both the grip and forend, aiming for 16 lines per inch (LPI) and a 3:1 diamond ratio.

This video details the 'striking the barrels' process for an antique Parker shotgun, a crucial step before final polishing. It covers using 80-grit abrasive paper with a dowel for the top rib and sanding blocks for barrel surfaces, emphasizing lengthwise sanding from breech to muzzle. Deep pits are addressed with chalked smooth files to prevent scratching, and custom-ground files are used for precision work near the rib.

This video features Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, discussing 'The Parker Project.' He explains his acquisition of an old Parker shotgun for $150 at a gun show, specifically as a project gun intended for restoration. The goal is to teach the processes involved in bringing a late 1870s shotgun back to serviceable and like-new condition.
