This video explores the performance of .30-06 ammunition, specifically focusing on the .30-06 Accelerator sabot round and comparing it to standard Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Hornady CX hunting rounds. The presenter conducts ballistics gel tests to demonstrate penetration differences, aiming to explain discrepancies in the Charlie Kirk case. The .30-06 Accelerator shows significantly less penetration, consistent with its design as a small .22 caliber bullet fired at high velocity, often resulting in fragmentation and no exit wound. Standard FMJ rounds exhibit much deeper penetration, while the expanding Hornady CX offers a balance.

This video tests the durability of a 'Nee Doh' toy against various firearm calibers, demonstrating its penetration limits. The instructor also promotes Snoring Desert Institute for firearms mechanics and gunsmithing education, highlighting their online programs with hands-on components.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Buffalo Bore's .44 Magnum +P 'Deer Grenade' ammunition. The test, conducted by an experienced shooter, measures velocity and terminal performance from two different barrel lengths (6.5-inch and 8-inch). The results highlight extreme fragmentation and significant penetration, positioning this round as a highly effective, albeit powerful, hunting option.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms, from .22 LR to a .50 BMG, through stacks of paper plates. The experiment aims to determine how many plates each caliber can stop before the projectile is fully arrested. The results show a significant increase in penetration with larger calibers, with the .30-06 Springfield ultimately outperforming the .50 BMG in this specific test due to projectile deflection.

This video tests the bullet resistance of a sledgehammer against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The sledgehammer demonstrates significant resistance, with no caliber achieving a complete pass-through. Notably, even larger calibers like 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm NATO caused significant denting and bullet fragmentation, while the .50 BMG created a substantial divot. The experiment concludes that a sledgehammer is effectively bulletproof against the tested rounds.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a boulder, culminating with the .50 BMG. While smaller calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP caused minimal damage, larger rounds like 5.56mm and 12 gauge slugs began to chip the rock. The .308 and initial .50 BMG shots caused significant fragmentation but did not penetrate. A second .50 BMG shot successfully penetrated the boulder.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of 5.56 NATO ammunition, specifically XM193 FMJ and green tip variants, through clay media. The testing reveals that even after hitting the same point of impact as a .30-06 round, the 5.56 NATO rounds did not achieve full pass-through, with clay particles falling out from the green tip round.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of a powerful 72 caliber air rifle against a 12-gauge slug. Through a series of tests involving pine trees, sand, steel plates, and ballistic gel, the video demonstrates the significant momentum and penetration capabilities of heavyweight air rifle projectiles, highlighting their potential as a quieter alternative to firearms in certain scenarios.

This video tests Velocias 9mm 96-grain solid copper hollowpoint defensive ammunition. The instructor evaluates its performance against a steel target, observing significant mushrooming and recovery of the projectile after a 3-inch dig. Further testing in a sand jug with a 2x6 backer shows the rounds do not penetrate the wood, indicating effective energy transfer and stopping power within this medium.

This video reviews a highly modified and 'cursed' Kyber Pass Martini Henry rifle, cloned to resemble an M16. The presenter, Brandon Herrera, highlights the questionable craftsmanship, extensive welding, and improvised modifications. Despite significant safety concerns and the seller's warning not to shoot it, the rifle was test-fired using custom-loaded black powder .303 British rounds. The review details the rifle's poor build quality, including loose components and misaligned sights, and assesses its performance through various firing tests, ultimately deeming it a 'piece of dog [expletive]'.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of various calibers by shooting through stacked candles. It highlights how larger and more powerful rounds, like the 50 caliber, can pass through significantly more material than smaller calibers such as .22 LR or 9mm.

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.
