The presenter highlights the material science and historical significance of such ordnance.

This video demonstrates an expert-level test of custom-made tungsten carbide sabot rounds against AR500 steel armor. The host, Matt Carriker of DemolitionRanch, showcases the projectile's design and its ability to penetrate the hardened steel plate, a feat not achieved by standard 7.62x39mm or .308 Winchester rounds. The experiment highlights the effectiveness of specialized projectile materials and designs for defeating ballistic protection.

This video provides a detailed look at the 76mm HVAP-T M319 round, specifically designed for the M41 Walker Bulldog light tank. Expert demonstration shows the disassembly of the projectile, highlighting the tungsten carbide penetrator core and its aluminum sabot. The presenter, demonstrating high authority and expertise in handling historical ordnance, guides viewers through the internal components and reassembly process.

This video showcases the design and construction of a custom rifling machine and the creation of rifling buttons. Mark Serbu details the process of designing a rifling button, highlighting the importance of tapering for proper function. He also demonstrates his self-designed rifling machine, capable of applying significant force, and discusses receiving custom-made rifling buttons from manufacturers.

This video from SHOT Show 2020 features Omar "Crispy" Avila showcasing new firearm and gear releases. Key highlights include STI/Staccato's updated 2011 pistol line with new grips and compensated models, Kalashnikov USA's AKM 103 rifle and KP9 pistol with proprietary accessories, and SOG's revitalized knife lines (Flash, Aegis, Trident) featuring upgraded materials and designs for various user needs. The content provides a look at industry trends and product innovations from the show.

Mark Serbu demonstrates a home-shop button rifling process using Chinese and Ukrainian rifling buttons on 4140 and 12L14 steel barrel blanks. The video details the use of a hydraulic press and Moly grease, concluding with a comparison of the 4-groove rifling from the Chinese button and 6-groove from the Ukrainian button. Serbu provides expert insights into material selection and the practicalities of DIY barrel making.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-authority firearms content creator, conducting an experimental test comparing the ballistic resistance of tungsten carbide and steel plates. The tests reveal tungsten carbide's extreme brittleness, causing it to shatter upon impact from various calibers, while the steel plate demonstrates superior durability, sustaining only minor damage from most rounds.

This destructive testing video pits a .50 caliber Armor Piercing (Black Tip) round and a Raufoss Mk 211 (Green Tip) against a titanium plate at a 90-degree angle. The Raufoss Mk 211, featuring a tungsten carbide penetrator, achieved significantly deeper penetration than the standard AP round. The test highlights the extreme danger of shooting titanium directly, causing a fire due to the ammunition's incendiary components.

This video showcases the impressive speed and effectiveness of a super-expensive tungsten carbide, through-coolant drill bit being used to create firing pin holes in BFG-50 bolt heads. The description highlights the difficulty of drilling high-strength alloy steel and uses a humorous analogy of being accused of witchcraft if this technology were shown centuries ago. The drill's performance is presented as almost unbelievable due to its speed and capability on tough materials.
