This video showcases an extreme ballistic test where an airplane propeller is mounted to a vehicle and shot with a Desert Tech MDRx rifle. The experiment progresses from moderate speeds to full throttle, demonstrating the destructive power of bullets against high-speed rotating blades. The results highlight significant damage to the propeller, emphasizing the forces involved in such a test.

This experiment tests whether a spinning airplane propeller can stop bullets. Using a custom-built 'van-plane,' Demolition Ranch fired both 5.56 NATO and .308 Winchester rounds at the propeller. The results showed that while some bullets were deflected or shattered, the propeller did not effectively stop the projectiles, with shrapnel posing a significant risk.
