This guide details a DIY sound suppression test using a Charter Arms Off Duty revolver in .38 Special. The experiment demonstrates how effectively enclosing a firearm within a pillow and sealing it with duct tape can drastically reduce noise levels to a potentially hearing-safe range (71 dB) compared to unsuppressed firing (152 dB). The speaker, demonstrating high authority, explains the mechanics behind firearm noise, particularly the role of the cylinder gap, and contrasts this method with less effective attempts like wrapping a towel.
This video features a "Does it Work?" test of the RTS Tactical Bullet Proof Pillow. The title and description suggest the pillow underwent rigorous testing and "serious abuse," implying durability and possibly its ballistic resistance capabilities are being evaluated. The content creator also promotes their apparel and website, linking to various social media platforms and a podcast. The disclaimer clarifies the content is for educational and entertainment purposes and not a substitute for professional gunsmithing advice. Affiliate links are also present.
This video, titled 'Gun Vs Bulletproof Pillow,' appears to be a direct comparison test. The core premise involves testing the effectiveness of a bulletproof pillow against firearm projectiles. While the specific firearm or caliber used is not detailed in the provided information, the title strongly suggests a ballistic test. The content likely aims to demonstrate the protective capabilities of the pillow and the penetration power of a firearm, offering a visual or experimental perspective on ballistic resistance.
This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring experienced host Matt Carriker, conducts a unique ballistics test to determine how many memory foam pillows are needed to stop various firearm calibers, from .22 Magnum up to a .50 BMG. The test provides practical, albeit unconventional, data on projectile stopping power using shredded memory foam as a medium. The expert-level demonstration highlights the effectiveness of memory foam in absorbing energy from different rounds.
This video demonstrates a practical, albeit unconventional, test to determine the bullet-stopping capabilities of common household items. Edwin Sarkissian, an established firearms content creator, uses a Glock 19 with 9mm FMJ ammunition to test how many pillows are needed to stop a bullet. The experiment provides a visual representation of projectile penetration, concluding that 7 to 8 pillows were required.
