This video demonstrates the destructive power of a 150-ton hydraulic press on Soviet and US 30mm ammunition. The expert presenter showcases the deformation and failure points of both inert rounds, highlighting differences in material response under extreme pressure. The visual comparison of the mangled remains on national flags provides a stark, albeit non-ballistic, perspective on the physical properties of the ordnance.

This video details an experiment testing the lethality of a flathead screwdriver fired from a 12 Gauge shotgun shell. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical, demonstrates a ballistic failure where the screwdriver punctures the wad, preventing proper launch. The expert analysis highlights the need for a sabot for such improvised projectiles. The video concludes with target destruction using standard handgun ammunition.
