This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test comparing Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Soft Point (SP) ammunition against RMA Armament body armor. The test involves firing both ammunition types into ballistic gel placed behind the armor, with a water jug serving as a penetration indicator. The FMJ round impacted the ceramic plate, fragmenting, while the SP round's performance is observed for its potential to penetrate the armor and the water jug.

This expert-level analysis from Tools&Targets details a .357 Magnum ballistic gel test using Remington Performance Wheelgun 158-grain lead semi-wadcutter ammunition. The test, conducted by an experienced instructor, utilized a 4-inch Ruger GP100 and a 6-inch Colt Python, measuring velocities and observing bullet performance. The data provides valuable insights into the terminal ballistics of this specific ammunition type from different barrel lengths.

This video conducts a comprehensive ballistic test to determine if forklift forks can stop various firearm rounds, from .22 LR up to a .50 BMG. The test, executed by an experienced individual, demonstrates that while forklift forks can withstand many common calibers, they are ultimately penetrated by the powerful .50 BMG round. The results provide practical insights into the ballistic resistance of industrial steel.

This review details a ballistic gel test of Hornady Critical Defense .38 Special +P 110 grain ammunition fired from 2-inch and 3-inch barrels. The testing instructor, demonstrating significant expertise, found the +P rounds produced mild recoil comparable to standard pressure .38 Special, with the primary difference being a louder report. Performance in gel showed good expansion and penetration within expected self-defense parameters.

This comprehensive ballistic gel test evaluates the Winchester Defender .40 S&W 165-grain bonded JHP ammunition. The review, conducted by an experienced firearms instructor, details velocity, penetration, and expansion characteristics across different Glock barrel lengths (3.5" and 4.5"). The results demonstrate excellent performance, with the bonded projectile maintaining integrity and achieving significant expansion and penetration through a heavy clothing barrier.

This video from Banana Ballistics explores the capabilities of two distinct Israeli-made rounds: the N4-61 tear gas bullet and the M61 armor-piercing round. The host, demonstrating high expertise in ballistics, conducts penetration tests against steel, concrete, and ballistic gel, comparing their effectiveness. The M61 round shows significant penetration power, while the N4-61 demonstrates its tear gas dispersal capabilities.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic penetration of various firearm calibers through stacks of playing cards. It demonstrates how many decks of standard Bicycle cards are needed to stop rounds from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The experiment highlights the surprising stopping power of dense paper against different bullet types and velocities, with the .50 BMG requiring 18 decks for complete stoppage.

This video demonstrates the significant power of the .454 Casull cartridge using a Freedom Arms revolver. Hickok45 fires a 360-grain flat-nosed bullet at a bowling pin, which is completely penetrated and split, showcasing the round's impressive energy and destructive capability. The demonstration highlights the substantial recoil associated with this powerful handgun caliber.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features a direct penetration test comparing 9mm and 10mm calibers. Using standard Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition, the test demonstrates the superior penetration depth of the 10mm cartridge over the 9mm. The host, Scott, provides clear visual evidence and concise results, highlighting the differences in terminal ballistics between these popular handgun rounds.

This video provides an in-depth review of the 500 A-Square Dangerous Game Rifle, designed by Art Alfon. The presenter, Scott, demonstrates its immense power through various tests, including penetration through a truck door and destruction of paint cans. He also showcases the extreme recoil with an air mattress test and evaluates its performance against Level 4 body armor and a ballistic dummy head. The review highlights the rifle's significant energy output and terminal ballistics.

This video explores whether a bullet can penetrate a Jawbreaker candy. Given the title's direct question, the content likely involves testing the ballistic properties of the candy against firearms or ammunition, though the specific firearm and caliber are not mentioned. The experiment aims to determine the stopping power or penetration capability when a projectile impacts the hard candy.

This video provides an in-depth review and ballistic testing of an American Derringer chambered in .30-30 Winchester, a powerful rifle cartridge. Expert Scott from Kentucky Ballistics demonstrates the extreme recoil, penetration capabilities (and limitations due to barrel length), and effectiveness against various barriers and body armor. The review highlights the significant difference in performance compared to a standard lever-action rifle in the same caliber.
