Videos tagged with Pumpkin Penetration

This video demonstrates a ballistic test using pumpkins to gauge the penetration power of various calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The experiment, conducted by an experienced individual, showcases how different firearms and rounds interact with a soft barrier, providing a visual understanding of projectile energy and stopping power. The results highlight significant differences in penetration capabilities across the tested calibers.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests how many pumpkins various firearms and calibers can penetrate. It features a Ruger Mark IV (.22 LR), Glock 19 (9mm), 1911 (.45 ACP), a .44 Magnum revolver, Desert Eagle (.50 AE), AR-15 (.223 Rem), FN SCAR 17S (.308 Win), and a .50 BMG rifle. The experiment highlights how bullet expansion and fragmentation affect penetration depth, with handguns like the Desert Eagle outperforming high-velocity rifle rounds in this specific test scenario.

This video tests the potential lethality of an X Products Golf Ball Cannon, fired using 5.56 blanks. The cannon was tested against various targets, including a rubber dummy head, watermelon, pumpkin, 2-liter bottle, and a ballistic dummy head. The tests revealed that the golf ball cannon can cause significant damage, shattering targets and causing bone fractures on the ballistic dummy head, suggesting it could be a potent, albeit unpredictable, projectile.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian provides an experimental look at projectile penetration through pumpkins. Using a Mossberg 590A1 shotgun, the test compares the stopping power of a 12-gauge slug against 00 buckshot. The results offer a visual demonstration of how different ammunition types perform against soft barriers, with the buckshot showing greater penetration. The expert tone and clear demonstration highlight the practical differences in shotgun shell performance.
