This YouTube video, titled "Tampa privada: será que uma tampa de vaso resiste a um tiro?" (Private bathroom: will a toilet lid resist a shot?), appears to be a test or demonstration of a firearm's ability to penetrate a toilet seat. The title suggests an experiment involving a projectile and a common household item, implying a practical or curiosity-driven evaluation. Without a transcript, the specific firearm and caliber used are unknown, but the context points towards a casual or informal firearm test.

This video explores the feasibility of using a "human tripod" to stabilize a .50 BMG rifle. The title suggests a potential experiment or demonstration to see if this unconventional setup can achieve accurate firing. The content likely delves into the mechanics, stability challenges, and potential outcomes of such a shooting scenario.

This video tests experimental cube projectiles fired from a massive 9-foot Punt Gun named 'Fury'. The tests involved aluminum, titanium, copper, and tungsten cubes impacting water-filled trash cans. Tungsten demonstrated superior penetration, passing through four cans with minimal deformation, while aluminum deformed significantly and titanium showed material transfer from the target.

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.

Attempting to fire an empty 9mm casing in a Springfield Armory Echelon results in a failure to feed due to the lack of a projectile's profile. The empty casing jams against the feed ramp. This demonstration highlights a common firearm malfunction and showcases the 'Tap, Rack, Ready' drill for clearing such jams.

This YouTube video explores a safety and performance question: what happens if you hold the muzzle brake while firing a firearm? The experiment likely demonstrates the potential dangers and consequences of such an action, providing visual results of the test. The title suggests a focus on experimental firearm knowledge and possibly full-auto capabilities.

This experimental video by Polenar Tactical investigates the effects of alcohol on shooting performance using airsoft replicas. Despite significant intoxication levels, up to 0.80 mg/l BAC, participants showed a surprising ability to maintain basic accuracy in controlled tests. However, reaction times, movement speed, and overall safety awareness drastically declined, highlighting the severe risks of combining alcohol and firearms.

This YouTube video presents an experiment comparing the perceived recoil between hammer-fired and striker-fired pistols. The experiment utilizes two handguns of identical weight, grip, barrel length, and locking systems, with the sole difference being their firing mechanisms. The video aims to determine which type of firing system results in more noticeable recoil. The ammunition used for this comparison is Nosler Match 115gr, fired from a Grand Power Q1 and K100. The description also includes links for social media, affiliate discounts, and merchandise.

This experiment tested the ability of a swimming pool filled with water to stop .50 BMG rounds fired from Serbu BFG-50A and RN-50 rifles. The water successfully stopped the projectiles, preventing them from reaching cinder blocks placed behind it. However, the bullets fragmented or deflected unpredictably, making recovery impossible.

This experiment tests how many standard bowling pins are needed to stop a bullet. A Glock 19 firing 9mm rounds was stopped by a single pin, with the bullet recovered inside. Further testing with a .40 caliber Glock 23 was planned to assess penetration capabilities. Dissection revealed a dense, multi-layered wood core within the pins, explaining their significant bullet-stopping power.
