This video from Kentucky Ballistics features a detailed test of various firearms against a life-sized Velociraptor replica to determine what it would take to defeat one. Host Scott, alongside Chris from Ballistic Dummy Lab, tests handguns from .22LR up to .500 Magnum, shotguns including a Spas-12, and rifles ranging from .45-70 to a .4 Bore. The experiment provides insights into the stopping power required for different threats, with a focus on practical application and the effectiveness of various calibers against a simulated large predator.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms against a stack of baking sheets, culminating with a .50 BMG round. The experiment demonstrates the relative stopping power of different calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, and includes a 12-gauge slug, AK-47, .308, and .30-06 rifle rounds. The results highlight significant differences in penetration, with the .50 BMG ultimately piercing all 34 baking sheets.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms, from .22 LR to a .50 BMG, through stacks of paper plates. The experiment aims to determine how many plates each caliber can stop before the projectile is fully arrested. The results show a significant increase in penetration with larger calibers, with the .30-06 Springfield ultimately outperforming the .50 BMG in this specific test due to projectile deflection.

Ted from Line45 advises stockpiling specific ammunition calibers before anticipated shortages in 2026. He details why .22 LR, 9mm Luger, .223/5.56 NATO, 12-gauge slugs and buckshot, 7.62x39mm, and .308/7.62 NATO are critical, citing historical patterns, production limitations, and demand pressures from various user groups. The guide emphasizes maintaining separate stashes for training and defensive use across all firearm types.

This video from GFG (God Family & Guns) identifies five budget-friendly ammunition calibers to stock up on before an anticipated price increase in 2026. The instructor highlights .22 LR, 9mm, .223/5.56 NATO, 12 Gauge Birdshot, and 7.62x39mm, providing cost-per-round estimates and use-case recommendations for each. The expert advice focuses on affordability, availability, and suitability for training, self-defense, and hunting.

This podcast episode features The Yankee Marshal discussing a wide range of firearm-related topics, including specific models, calibers, market trends, and personal opinions on political figures and societal issues.

Sully from Line 45 advises gun owners to stock essential ammunition calibers before potential shortages in 2025. The video highlights 300 Blackout for suppressed short-barreled rifles, .308 Winchester for versatile long-range use, 10mm Auto for potent handgun defense, 12 Gauge for its wide range of applications, .22 LR for affordability and training, .223 Remington/5.56 NATO for AR platforms, and 9mm Luger as the most common and rapidly depleted pistol caliber. The emphasis is on proactive stocking due to anticipated price spikes and supply chain disruptions.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics explores the effectiveness of various firearm calibers in disabling a vehicle. Expert Scott demonstrates that common pistol rounds often only cause cosmetic damage, with a surprising .380 ACP round being the first to stop a truck by hitting the radiator. Larger calibers, including .45 ACP, 12-gauge, and standard rifle rounds, also fail to disable the engine. Ultimately, a powerful .416 Rigby rifle is required to destroy the carburetor and stop the vehicle, highlighting the significant firepower needed to overcome automotive systems.

This video demonstrates the distinct sounds of supersonic rifle fire from 400 yards, differentiating between the sonic crack of projectiles passing and their impact. It uses an AR-15 and AK-47 to illustrate how sound travels and the audible effects at varying distances off target, providing a practical understanding of long-range ballistics. The content is presented by CajunBoyJake, a firearms enthusiast.

Sully from Line 45 outlines seven essential calibers for gun owners to stockpile in 2025 due to anticipated shortages and price hikes. The video emphasizes the unique roles each caliber fills, from the suppressed versatility of 300 Blackout to the long-range power of 308 Winchester, the heavy hitting 10mm Auto, the ubiquitous 12 Gauge, the affordable training round 22 LR, the AR-platform staple 223/5.56 NATO, and the most common pistol caliber 9mm Luger. He advises proactive stocking to avoid scarcity and inflated prices.
