The Sten MkIII submachine gun, produced by the toy company Lines Brothers, was a simplified, fully stamped sheet metal design intended for mass production during WWII. Despite its efficiency (5.5 man-hours per gun), it was considered inferior to the MkII due to quality control issues, leading to its primary use by the UK's Home Guard. Approximately 874,000 MkIIIs were manufactured before production ceased in late 1943.

This video showcases a custom-built "Dragon Bike" constructed by the creator in 1967. The bike is described as being made from sheet metal and Bondo, with the creator having built 17 unique variations since its inception. The description highlights the Shovelhead motor, detailing its 98 cubic inch displacement, specific stroke and bore measurements, Andrews C grind cam with a 525 lift, ported and flowed heads, and a 44mm S&S carburetor. The creator emphasizes the motor's power and its ability to perform impressive wheelies due to the bike's rear-heavy design, with a personal record of a block-and-a-half wheel stand. The video also includes a link to merchandise.

This video compares the penetration capabilities of 9mm and 10mm ammunition through 24-gauge sheet metal. The 9mm round, fired from a Glock 17, penetrated 11 sheets, while the 10mm round from a Glock 20 penetrated 14 sheets. The test highlights the significant difference in power and penetration between these two popular pistol calibers.

This video compares the ballistic performance of 9mm and .380 ACP rounds fired from Glock 43 and Glock 42 pistols, respectively, through 24-gauge sheet metal. The 9mm round penetrated seven sheets, while the .380 ACP penetrated five, demonstrating 9mm's superior penetration power in this test. The video also touches on the Glock 43's popularity for concealed carry and the availability issues of the Glock 42 in California.

This video compares the penetration capabilities of .357 Magnum and .38 Special rounds against 24-gauge sheet metal. Using a single Taurus revolver to eliminate firearm variables, the .357 Magnum (125 grain Underwood) penetrated 11 plates, while the .38 Special (130 grain Winchester) penetrated 6 plates. The .357 Magnum demonstrated significantly higher penetration power and recoil.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a homemade armor plate coated with Line-X. The plate, constructed from Kevlar, ceramic tiles, and sheet metal, successfully stopped both 5.56mm rounds from an AR-15 and 9mm Extreme Penetrator rounds from a Glock 19. The Line-X coating played a crucial role in containing fragments and preventing penetration.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG API round against 18-gauge sheet metal. It was determined that 16 sheets of this metal were required to stop the projectile. The experiment utilized a Serbu BFG-50A rifle and highlighted the significant power of the .50 BMG caliber.

This video demonstrates the penetration power of a .357 Magnum revolver against 24-gauge sheet metal. The Taurus .357 Magnum, with an 8-round capacity and 6.5-inch barrel, successfully penetrated 11 discs, significantly outperforming the 9mm in a similar test. The comparison highlights the .357 Magnum's superior hole creation and penetration capabilities.

This destructive test evaluates the Walther P22's .22LR performance against 24-gauge sheet metal. The CCI Mini-Mag 40-grain rounds penetrated two sheets, with the third stopping the deformed projectile. The video highlights the significant difference in bullet weight and impact compared to 9mm.
