This video provides an in-depth review of several high-powered arrow rifles available on Amazon, including the Benjamin Pioneer, GoGun Sixneedler, Hatsan Harpoon, and Umarex AirSaber Elite X2. The presenter, from a specialized gear review channel, demonstrates their capabilities, discusses technical specifications like FPS and energy output, and compares their effectiveness for hunting applications. The review highlights the growing trend of arrow-shooting airguns as a viable alternative to traditional archery equipment.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the lethality and accuracy of flare guns. The host demonstrates loading and firing an Orion 12-gauge flare gun at various targets, including a plastic skull and watermelons. Key takeaways highlight the extreme inaccuracy of flares, with deviations of up to two feet from the point of aim, making them unreliable for precise targeting despite their significant impact and incendiary potential. The host emphasizes safety and the unpredictable nature of these projectiles.

This guide details the experimental firing of a custom-built bowling ball cannon, as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. It covers loading, aiming at a 45-degree angle on a modified dolly, and managing extreme recoil. The experiment highlights the significant power of black powder for launching projectiles over extreme distances, estimated at over 3 miles.

This guide details an experimental technique for firing a crossbow bolt vertically and measuring its total flight time. It emphasizes safety protocols, including seeking cover during descent, and highlights the use of specialized audible arrow tips for tracking. The experiment, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, provides specific ballistic data for a Ravin R10 crossbow.
