This video demonstrates a DIY process for creating custom exploding slugs, utilizing Lucky 7 Air Ammo slugs as a base and explosive material sourced from .22 caliber Edgun West exploding pellets. The process involves carefully filling the hollow points of the larger slugs with the explosive compound and securing it with super glue. The creator, exhibiting advanced knowledge in projectile modification, then conducts live-fire tests with an AEA Zeus .50 caliber airgun to showcase the successful detonation of these custom projectiles, creating a significant smoke cloud upon impact.

This video demonstrates the power of a 30cm soda can launcher, testing its impact on a ballistic gel head using a 350ml Mountain Dew can. The test reveals significant force, with the can destroying the eye socket and the ballistic head traveling 12 meters. The presenter notes the launcher's potent recoil, comparable to a 12 gauge shotgun, and the need for manual cycling when using blanks.

This review of the AEA Zeus Mark II .72 caliber bullpup air rifle highlights its exceptional power, exceeding 1,500 ft-lbs of energy, making it comparable to many firearms. The host, from 1ShotTV, demonstrates its performance with heavy projectiles and discusses its legal advantages, such as not requiring a background check in many areas. The rifle features a bullpup design for compactness and a powerful muzzle brake.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics explores the effectiveness of pennies as improvised projectiles for self-defense. The host, Scott, tests various methods, from throwing and punching with pennies to firing them from specialized firearms like a 10-gauge shotgun and a 2-bore blunderbuss. The experiments reveal that while simple methods have limited impact, pennies fired from large-bore shotguns can be surprisingly destructive.

This video tests the lethality of marbles when fired from firearms. It investigates whether standard ammunition can be substituted with or augmented by marbles in terms of terminal ballistics and potential for harm. The practical demonstration aims to answer the question of whether marbles are a viable or effective projectile in a firearm context, likely exploring various calibers and firearm types.

This video explores the question of whether a knitting needle can be a deadly projectile. Through practical testing, the content aims to demonstrate the potential lethality or ineffectiveness of such an object fired from a firearm. The analysis likely involves a firearms context to assess penetration and impact, making it relevant to those interested in ballistics and unconventional projectile testing.

This video explores a unique and unconventional concept: firing gummy bears from a firearm to see if it's possible or effective. The title suggests an experimental approach to testing the efficacy of this unusual projectile. The content likely involves a practical demonstration, showcasing the process and the results of shooting gummy bears, potentially comparing it to traditional ammunition or simply investigating the phenomenon.

This video tests the ballistic penetration of various firearms calibers through a 2500-gallon water tank. Results show that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG and 5.56 NATO fragment or deform significantly upon entering the water, failing to reach a target 6.5 feet away. Smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm are stopped with minimal deformation. Approximately 6.5 feet of water provides substantial protection against most common firearms.

This video features a ballistician demonstrating how to create ballistic gel blocks at home for testing firearm projectiles. The description provides precise measurements for both a 20% and a 10% gelatin concentration block, emphasizing accuracy through weight measurements. The creator also promotes their Instagram and SubscribeStar for further engagement and support.

This YouTube video title, "Quão mortal é um Jolly Rancher disparado por uma espingarda?" (How deadly is a Jolly Rancher shot by a shotgun?), suggests an experimental and potentially destructive testing video. It aims to explore the impact and lethality of an unconventional projectile (a candy) fired from a firearm. The focus is likely on the visual effects and the extreme nature of the test, rather than practical applications or detailed firearm analysis. It falls into the category of entertainment or curiosity-driven content within the firearms niche.

This video tests the surprising bullet-stopping capabilities of a Stretch Armstrong toy against various firearm calibers. While it successfully stops handgun rounds like .22, .380, 9mm, 5.7, and .45 ACP, it ultimately fails against rifle calibers .223 and 7.62x39, demonstrating the significant power difference between handgun and rifle ammunition.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of 50 lbs of pinto beans against various calibers from .22 LR to 7.62x39mm. Surprisingly, even rifle rounds like 5.56 NATO and 7.62x39mm were stopped by the second bag of beans, leading to the conclusion that beans can be effectively bulletproof in this context. The test highlights the surprising stopping power of dense, granular materials.
