This video demonstrates a series of ballistic tests using various projectiles, including .22LR, 12-gauge birdshot and slug, 9mm hollow point, a crossbow bolt, and a .50 Cal round, to determine how many basketballs each can penetrate. The results offer a visual comparison of the stopping power and penetration capabilities of different ammunition types and projectile platforms. The experiment highlights the significant differences in energy and effectiveness between common handgun rounds, shotgun loads, and high-powered rifle cartridges.

This video tests the ballistic penetration capabilities of wet toilet paper against various handgun calibers. It demonstrates that even multiple layers of wet toilet paper are insufficient to stop common handgun rounds like .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP, with projectiles consistently penetrating through significant amounts of material. The experiment highlights the importance of proper ballistic protection over improvised materials.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian tests the 'bulletproof' claims of various chopping cleavers against different firearm calibers. While smaller rounds had minimal effect, higher-energy calibers like .45-70 Government caused the high-carbon steel blades to shatter due to brittleness, despite stopping the projectiles. The expert demonstrates safe firearm handling and provides insights into material science under ballistic stress.
