This video demonstrates the use of a Breach and Rescue Bar (BRB) against laminate automotive glass. It highlights two primary techniques for breaching: serrating the glass like a steak knife and scoring the glass to weaken it prior to serration. The demonstration emphasizes how the BRB's weight aids in penetration and how to effectively use its edge for rapid glass removal.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of Jaws of Life rescue tools against high-caliber .50 BMG rounds. The first test with a .50 Cal Silver Tip API round created a large crater but did not completely destroy the forged aluminum arm. However, a subsequent shot with a .50 Cal Raufoss round caused catastrophic failure, completely severing the arm.
