This video demonstrates a comprehensive test of various firearms, from handguns like the Glock 19 to a .50 caliber sniper rifle, against a 20-inch oak tree. The host, Parker, shows that even powerful rounds, including .50 caliber API, are stopped by the natural obstacle, highlighting its effectiveness as cover. The experiment provides practical insights into ballistic penetration through natural materials.

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 from Yee Yee Life, featuring firearms influencer Parker, conducts a comprehensive test to determine if a vintage cast iron fire hydrant can withstand various firearm calibers, from 9mm handguns up to a .50 BMG API round. The experiment provides practical insights into projectile performance against hardened targets, demonstrating the surprising resilience of the hydrant and the significant power of larger calibers.

This guide details a post-submersion firearm test, focusing on safety and functionality. It covers initial inspection, basic cleaning, and a remote firing procedure for a Glock 17 left underwater for 150 days. The experiment highlights the importance of careful handling and safety protocols when dealing with firearms of unknown condition after extreme environmental exposure.

This guide details the process of cleaning and polishing old 10 Gauge brass shotgun shells, as demonstrated by Larry Potterfield. It covers removing primers, washing, scrubbing corrosion, using vinegar for brightening, and finally, tumbling for a high polish. This preparation is crucial for successful reloading of vintage ammunition.

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.
