This video features Edwin Sarkissian, an established tactical and firearms testing personality, conducting an experimental test. He evaluates the penetration power of a TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow, equipped with the ACUdraw PRO cocking system, against a World War II German steel helmet. The test demonstrates the crossbow's ability to completely penetrate the helmet with both a practice tip and a Muzzy broadhead, highlighting its significant kinetic energy and velocity.
This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of different archery platforms against fresh coconuts. Expert shooter Edwin Sarkissian tests a PSE Heritage traditional bow (170 fps), a PSE Evoke 31 compound bow (340 fps) with Muzzy broadheads and practice tips, and a TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow (430 fps) with various broadheads. The tests highlight the varying power and penetration of each bow type.
This video from Edwin Sarkissian explores the penetration depth of various archery devices into the ground. It features tests with a PSE recurve bow, a PSE Evoke 31 compound bow, a Pocket Shot slingshot, a Hickory Creek mini crossbow, and a TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow. The experiment highlights differences in arrow penetration based on the power and design of each projectile launcher, with the TenPoint Nitro XRT achieving the deepest penetration.
This video provides an experimental analysis of projectile penetration through plastic tables, featuring various archery equipment. Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrating high authority in recreational ballistics testing, showcases the performance of recurve bows, compound bows, slingshots, and high-performance crossbows against layered plastic tables. The insights highlight how arrow types (broadheads vs. practice tips) and projectile velocity significantly impact penetration depth.
Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrating high authority in experimental shooting, tests the penetration power of various archery equipment against a row of Apple iPads. The video compares the performance of a PSE Recurve bow, PSE Evoke 31 compound bow, Pocket Shot slingshot, Hickory Creek Mini Vertical Crossbow, and the TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow, detailing arrow velocities and the number of iPads each projectile could penetrate. This provides valuable insights into the relative power and effectiveness of different archery platforms.
This guide details an experiment to measure projectile flight distance at a 45-degree launch angle using compound bows, traditional bows, and crossbows. It emphasizes the importance of precise angle measurement with tools like the Johnson Magnetic Angle Locator and highlights how launch angle significantly impacts projectile range, as demonstrated by the comparison between 10-degree and 45-degree shots. The experiment provides practical ballistics data for recreational shooters.
This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-authority influencer in ballistics testing, demonstrating the penetration capabilities of various archery equipment against motorcycle helmets. The experiment highlights how arrow velocity and bow/crossbow power directly correlate with penetration depth, with higher velocity setups like the TenPoint Nitro XRT easily piercing multiple helmets.
This guide details a real-world ballistic gel test comparing different archery equipment. Expert Edwin Sarkissian demonstrates the penetration capabilities of a recurve bow, a compound bow, and a high-powered crossbow. The tests highlight the effectiveness of broadheads versus practice tips and provide performance data for various archery platforms using FBI-standard ballistic gel.
This video from Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced ballistics content creator, tests the penetration capabilities of different archery equipment through watermelons. It details the performance of a PSE recurve bow, a PSE compound bow (with both practice tips and broadheads), and a TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow (also with practice tips and broadheads), providing valuable insights into projectile energy and terminal ballistics.
This guide details an experiment to measure the vertical flight time of arrows shot from different bow types, as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. It covers the setup, equipment, and recording process, highlighting how arrow velocity impacts flight duration. The experiment emphasizes safety and the use of specialized whistling arrow tips for better tracking.
This video, presented by Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced individual with knowledge of archery kinetics and various bow types, tests the effectiveness of riot shields against different archery projectiles. It details penetration tests using a recurve bow, a compound bow (PSE Stinger at 300-350 fps), and a high-performance crossbow (TenPoint Nitro XRT at 470 fps and 190 ft-lbs). The results demonstrate that standard riot shields offer limited protection against powerful archery equipment, with multiple shields and specialized bolts required for significant resistance.
This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-authority content creator specializing in destructive testing, as he tests the effectiveness of various crossbows against a one-inch thick bulletproof glass target. The experiment demonstrates the impact of different arrow velocities and kinetic energies, with even high-powered crossbows failing to penetrate the glass, though arrow tips deform significantly.
