Videos tagged with Watermelon Test

This video demonstrates the performance of Byrna Kinetic less-lethal 12 gauge shotgun rounds. The host tests these rounds on a watermelon and a five-gallon water jug, observing the impact and damage. The rounds are described as torpedo-shaped and are assessed for their potential to cause injury, with the conclusion that they would sting but not puncture skin.

This video demonstrates a multi-pronged durability test on Premier Body Armor, including ballistic impacts from 9mm and .44 Magnum rounds, and exposure to a flamethrower. The tests also involve a simulated target (watermelon) to assess damage. The reviewer, with a hobbyist authority level, provides an entertaining yet informative look at the armor's resilience beyond advertised capabilities.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test of a SecDefense USA Level IIIA Bulletproof Mask using a watermelon as a target. The mask is tested against various calibers, including .22LR, 9mm, .357 Magnum, and 5.56 NATO. While it stops handgun rounds, the 5.56 NATO rifle round penetrates as expected for Level IIIA soft armor. The testing is conducted in a casual, experimental, and informative tone by an enthusiast reviewer.

This video features a "BOOM!" test of the FK BRNO Field Pistol, specifically showcasing its performance by shooting at a watermelon. The title and description clearly indicate a focus on the firearm's power and an interesting test application.

This video demonstrates a three-step testing protocol for evaluating the performance of a 'Tenderizer' shotgun slug. The tests include an energy assessment with a water bucket, an accuracy evaluation on paper, and a lethality test using ballistics gelatin and a watermelon. The results indicate the slug possesses significant energy and creates a large wound channel, suggesting high lethality.

This video provides a comparative ballistics test of several popular revolver calibers (.38 Special, .357 Magnum, .44 Special, .44 Magnum, .45 Colt) using watermelons as a medium. The presenter, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the terminal performance of soft point ammunition across these calibers, noting the lack of expansion from pistol barrel lengths. The video also touches on the performance differences between soft points and hollow points, and highlights the importance of consistent ammunition loads and watermelon selection for accurate comparisons. Future tests with hollow points and cinder blocks are mentioned.

This video tests the lethality of a double-barrel .45 ACP 1911 handgun by firing two rounds simultaneously into ballistic dummy heads and a watermelon. The review highlights the significant destructive power of dual .45 ACP rounds, particularly with specialized hollow-point ammunition, and discusses recoil and accuracy observations.

This video features a review of the Cadex Defense .50 Caliber rifle, showcasing its performance by shooting through multiple 10-inch watermelons at a distance of 640 yards. The title indicates a full review is forthcoming, suggesting a comprehensive look at the firearm's capabilities and features.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of CCI 9mm Luger shotshells, marketed for pest control, by testing them against a watermelon. The host, identified as a firearms enthusiast and gear reviewer, compares the localized impact of the shotshells to the more destructive power of a standard 9mm FMJ round. The test highlights the limited penetration and localized damage of the shotshells, contrasting it with the significant structural damage caused by FMJ ammunition.

This video provides an experimental test of a 12-gauge Orion Flare Gun's potential lethality. While demonstrating its use with a human head model (skull and watermelons), the presenter highlights significant issues with accuracy and unpredictable projectile trajectory. The test reveals the flare can cause damage but emphasizes its unreliability as a precise tool.

This video demonstrates the significant difference in terminal ballistics between 9mm and 10mm cartridges using a visual watermelon test. The presenter, a shooting enthusiast, shows how a 10mm round causes substantially more destruction than a 9mm round, splitting a watermelon in half compared to the 9mm's entry and exit wounds. The demonstration highlights the increased power and energy of the 10mm caliber.

This video demonstrates a practical comparison between Hollow Point (HP) and Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition using watermelons as ballistic mediums. The host, identified as a firearms enthusiast and content creator, showcases the significant difference in terminal ballistics, with the HP round causing more catastrophic damage due to greater energy transfer. The demonstration highlights the effectiveness of HP ammunition for self-defense applications.
