This demonstration showcases the capabilities of the Hotchkiss Mle 1934 25mm Anti-Tank Gun. The video details its transport, setup, loading, firing, and the resulting penetration of a 1-inch steel plate, highlighting its anti-armor potential.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .45 Colt calibers, analyzing their performance in both revolvers and lever-action rifles. The analysis, conducted by Banana Ballistics, uses detailed chronograph data and ballistics gel testing to evaluate velocity, energy, penetration, and terminal performance. The conclusion highlights the .357 Magnum as the most versatile and cost-effective option for most shooters.

This demonstration showcases the impressive penetration capabilities of a modified M3 Anti-Tank Gun firing 25mm Bushmaster rounds. Expert handling is evident as the operator manually loads and fires the weapon at a 1-inch steel plate, with high-speed footage clearly illustrating the rounds punching through. The video highlights the kinetic energy and effectiveness of this historical anti-tank weapon system.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of the .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge fired from a Barrett MRAD rifle. The test involves shooting through steel plates of varying thicknesses and then engaging ballistic dummy heads arranged in a line to simulate a zombie apocalypse scenario. The results demonstrate the significant power of the .338 Lapua Magnum, showing it can penetrate substantial steel and incapacitate multiple ballistic targets with a single round.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a 1-inch steel beam. The 50 BMG, 30-06, and 460 S&W Magnum demonstrated significant penetration, with the 50 BMG achieving the most dramatic results. Lower calibers like 9mm and 45 ACP showed minimal impact.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of the .338 Lapua Magnum and .300 Winchester Magnum cartridges, focusing on their penetration capabilities against mild steel. The analysis, conducted by Banana Ballistics Host, utilizes precise measurements and chronograph data to demonstrate that while the .338 Lapua Magnum generally offers superior energy and penetration, the .300 Winchester Magnum performs surprisingly close, especially considering its lower energy output. The content highlights the importance of kinetic energy and sectional density in terminal ballistics.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of several popular rifle calibers (.338 Lapua Magnum, 7mm Remington Magnum, .308 Winchester, 6.5 Grendel, and .17 HMR) against mild steel targets of increasing thickness. The host, demonstrating high authority and technical proficiency, uses a chronograph and precise measurement tools to record muzzle velocities and penetration depths. The results offer valuable insights into the real-world performance of these rounds for tactical applications and long-range engagements.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test of .50 Caliber Armor Piercing Incendiary (API) rounds fired from a Barrett .50 Caliber Rifle against a 1/2-inch mild steel plate. Expert shooter Jerry Miculek utilizes a 50,000 FPS high-speed camera to capture the projectile's impact, the incendiary effect, and the penetration capabilities of the API round. The analysis highlights the projectile's components and discusses safety considerations for this type of ammunition.
