Videos tagged with Projectile Energy Transfer

This video explores the terminal ballistics of firing a .357 Magnum round from a 12-gauge shotgun using a sabot. The experiment demonstrates significant energy transfer and projectile expansion, with the sabot itself fragmenting and contributing to the wound cavity. The results indicate a surprisingly effective, albeit unconventional, application of this ammunition type in a shotgun platform.

This video tests the projectile stopping power of soda bottles against a 9mm handgun. Multiple 2-liter bottles were stacked and shot to determine how many were required to stop a 9mm projectile. The experiment found that five bottles were penetrated, with the sixth bottle cracking and deflecting the bullet without full penetration.

This video tests the lethality and accuracy of "magnetic sizzling dragon eggs" fired from a shotgun. The projectiles demonstrated significant energy transfer, causing clear pass-throughs in three gallons of water and substantial damage to ballistics gelatin. Accuracy was also tested, with shots landing dead center on a target, indicating surprising precision for this type of ammunition.

This video tests the lethality and penetration capabilities of crossbow bolts fired from a shotgun. The experiment involves testing accuracy on a paper target, energy transfer into a pumpkin, and penetration through a fragmentation vest. Results indicate significant penetration and fragmentation, suggesting a potentially lethal outcome.

This video demonstrates the ballistic effects of a large caliber projectile on water-filled jugs. The experiment shows how projectile energy is transferred and dissipated, leading to significant destruction of the jugs. The results suggest that the amount of water affects the degree of fragmentation and energy release upon impact.
