This video from Edwin Sarkissian tests the bullet resistance of a cast iron sewer lid against a variety of firearms, from handguns to heavy sniper rifles. The test demonstrates that while common handgun and rifle calibers fail to penetrate, specialized .50 BMG armor-piercing rounds can easily defeat the lid. The experiment highlights the significant difference in terminal ballistics between standard ammunition and military-grade penetrators.

This video demonstrates the destructive power of various firearms against a fire hydrant, a target known for its cast iron durability. Starting with smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm, which show minimal effect, the test progresses to 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm, causing superficial damage and eventually a hole. The true destructive potential is revealed with .50 BMG Raufoss and API rounds, which easily penetrate and ultimately split the hydrant in half. The experiment highlights the significant difference in terminal ballistics between common handgun/rifle rounds and heavy machine gun/anti-materiel calibers.

This video demonstrates the extreme durability of a WWII-era torpedo crane track against multiple .50 caliber rounds. Despite being hit by Raufoss, APIT, and AP Black Tip ammunition fired from a Serbu BFG-50A rifle, the track remained functional after each impact, even after being knocked off its stand. The tests highlight the robust construction of historical military equipment and the power of .50 BMG rounds.
