This video tests the myth of water being bulletproof by firing various firearms, from 9mm handguns to a .50 BMG rifle, into a water tank. Results show that even high-powered rounds like the .50 BMG are significantly slowed or stopped by water, failing to penetrate to the target. The tests demonstrate water's effectiveness in dissipating projectile energy.
A BUG Match compares the Serbu Super Shorty 12-gauge shotgun against the MIL Thunder 5 pistol, a predecessor to the Taurus Judge. The Super Shorty demonstrated superior accuracy with nine headshots on a silhouette target. Conversely, the Thunder 5 exhibited a much wider shot spread, exceeding its effective range even at close distances.
This video tests the functionality and durability of various firearms when fired underwater. While smaller calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP function with reduced recoil and some bullet deformation, larger calibers and rifles experience significant issues. The 12-gauge shotgun had primer issues and a broken forearm, the 5.56 AR-15 suffered catastrophic failure, the 7.62x39 AK-47 survived with its top cover blown off, and the .50 BMG caused a pool to rupture.
This experiment tests the durability of a Tevlaphee tire boot against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers caused only superficial damage, even powerful rounds like the .500 Magnum and 10 Gauge shotgun failed to dislodge the boot. It took a .300 Win Mag to damage the internal rod and a .50 BMG to completely destroy the mechanism, proving the boot's robust design.
The Serbu Super Shorty, initially deemed 'dumb' by its creator Mark Serbu, became a popular product for Serbu Firearms. This 12 Gauge AOW shotgun features a folding foregrip for recoil management and is designed for close-quarters use, not precision. Live fire testing reveals significant recoil, emphasizing the need for forward pressure on the grip for control.
Mark Serbu details the history and evolution of his iconic Super-Shorty shotgun. Originally designed in 1997, its unique AOW classification and fun factor are discussed alongside its impracticality for mass production. The video highlights the development of a new, more profitable Turkish-based version to meet high secondary market demand, featuring improved machining and a target retail price of around $1,000.
This video tests the terminal ballistics of custom clay bullets across various calibers, including .40 S&W, 12 Gauge slugs and buckshot, .300 BLK, and .50 BMG. The results show that while clay bullets can create impact marks and penetrate light materials, they tend to fragment or vaporize upon significant impact, especially at higher velocities or with larger calibers. The .300 BLK and .50 BMG rounds fragmented almost instantly due to extreme forces.
This video features a unique challenge where guest Houston Jones must shoot mystery boxes containing items he likes. The challenge involves a 'Wheels of Misfortune' system that dictates the firearm caliber and number of shots required to open each box. Several high-caliber firearms are used, including a .50 BMG rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun, and a .500 Magnum revolver, testing the durability of various items within the boxes.
This video tests the terminal ballistics of bullets cast from J-B Weld epoxy across various calibers. While smaller pistol rounds like 9mm fragmented easily, larger calibers such as .45 ACP, .44 Magnum, and especially .50 BMG demonstrated significant penetration and damage. The .50 BMG round, weighing 262 grains, completely passed through the ballistic dummy, causing extensive bone damage. The conclusion is that J-B Weld bullets, despite their brittle nature, are surprisingly lethal, particularly in high-mass rifle calibers.
This video demonstrates the performance of Aguila mini shells in a Serbu Super Shorty shotgun. It covers capacity testing, live fire with buckshot against watermelons, and notes on cycling reliability. The review highlights the destructive power of mini shells despite their size and potential cycling challenges.
This review showcases the Serbu Super Shorty 12 gauge shotgun, highlighting its compact size and pump-action operation. The demonstration includes proper loading procedures, confirming a 2+1 capacity, and a live-fire sequence into water to display its performance. The speaker's expertise and enthusiasm suggest a high level of familiarity with NFA items and safe firearm handling.
This review showcases the unique Serbu Micro .50 BMG, a custom firearm with a 10-inch barrel based on the RN-50 receiver. Despite its compact size, initial firing tests revealed manageable recoil. The video includes penetration tests comparing different barrel lengths and destructive capability tests using API rounds against oxygen tanks, highlighting the .50 BMG's power.
