Expert analysis, utilizing professional chronographs and standardized testing methods, reveals surprising performance differences, particularly in lumber and steel penetration. The .17 HMR often leads in penetration, while the .22 WMR Hollow Point shows strong performance in ballistic gel.

This video from 1ShotTV provides an in-depth look at the capabilities of the .22LR cartridge, featuring expert testing by the host. The analysis covers penetration through various materials like produce, paper, ceramic, steel, and a vintage helmet, using different ammunition types. The host demonstrates safe firearm handling and offers insights into the effectiveness of .22LR for different applications.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of four common 5.56/.223 ammunition types (XM193, SS109, M855, and M855A1) tested for steel plate penetration. Using a custom bolt-action rifle and a MagnetoSpeed chronograph, Banana Ballistics objectively measures velocity and penetration depth, revealing significant differences in performance, especially against hardened AR500 steel. The M855A1 demonstrated superior penetration capabilities in mild steel, while all rounds struggled against AR500.

This video provides a practical, hands-on comparison of 300 Blackout and 7.62x39mm ammunition performance against steel targets. The host, demonstrating high-level enthusiast knowledge, utilizes a MagnetoSpeed V3 chronograph and custom testing equipment to measure velocities and assess penetration capabilities. The results indicate a clear advantage for 7.62x39mm in penetrating steel plates, while 300 Blackout, particularly subsonic loads, is less effective against hard targets but suitable for other applications.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-profile firearms and ballistics content creator, testing the Seneca Double Shot .50 caliber air shotgun. The review covers the PCP system, loading procedures, and extensive ballistics tests against various materials including steel plates, water jugs, a ballistic helmet, concrete, and wood, providing a comprehensive look at the air shotgun's capabilities.

This video details an experimental test of 12-gauge Armor Piercing Incendiary (API) slugs fired from a Lynx 12 semi-automatic shotgun against a 1/2-inch steel plate. The test, conducted by a firearms enthusiast, aimed to assess the slug's penetration and incendiary capabilities. While the API slug caused a significant dent and showed heat discoloration, it failed to penetrate the steel plate, highlighting the limitations of this ammunition type against hardened targets.

This video features Karl Kasarda and Ian McCollum of InRangeTV testing .50 BMG M2 Armor Piercing (AP) ammunition using a PGM Hecate II rifle against AR450 steel plates. The AP round demonstrates significant penetration, easily passing through both plates. A comparison with standard .50 BMG Ball ammunition shows its inability to penetrate a single plate. The discussion includes historical context with the Mauser Tankgewehr and touches upon rifle availability and modern caliber comparisons.

This video provides a detailed comparison between the Magnum Research Desert Eagle .50 AE and the Smith & Wesson 500 S&W Magnum Performance Center. Expert analysis from Kentucky Ballistics covers penetration tests through pine boards, cinder blocks, and steel plates, as well as ballistic gel (water jugs) performance. The .500 S&W Magnum was ultimately declared the winner based on a points system across all conducted tests.

This video compares the destructive power and ballistics of a 12-gauge shotgun slug against a .50 BMG rifle round. It details chronograph readings for both firearms and demonstrates their performance on steel targets at 20 yards. The .50 BMG significantly outperforms the 12-gauge slug in penetration and overall force, as evidenced by its ability to destroy a steel plate and damage filming equipment, while the 12-gauge slug had no effect.
