This video conducts a comprehensive ballistic test to determine if forklift forks can stop various firearm rounds, from .22 LR up to a .50 BMG. The test, executed by an experienced individual, demonstrates that while forklift forks can withstand many common calibers, they are ultimately penetrated by the powerful .50 BMG round. The results provide practical insights into the ballistic resistance of industrial steel.
This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic penetration of various firearm calibers through standard decks of playing cards. The host, demonstrating enthusiasm and proper firearm handling, shows how many decks are needed to stop rounds from 9mm up to .50 BMG. The results highlight the significant differences in power and penetration capabilities across common handgun and rifle cartridges.
This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic penetration of various firearm calibers through stacks of playing cards. It demonstrates how many decks of standard Bicycle cards are needed to stop rounds from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The experiment highlights the surprising stopping power of dense paper against different bullet types and velocities, with the .50 BMG requiring 18 decks for complete stoppage.
This video from Yee Yee Life tests the stopping power of various firearm calibers against a bowling ball. The experiment progresses from smaller rounds like .22 LR and 9mm, which cause superficial damage, up to powerful rifle and handgun rounds. While many calibers significantly damage the bowling ball, only the .50 BMG is shown to completely obliterate it and penetrate through. The host demonstrates safe firearm handling throughout the test.
In this experiment from Yee Yee Life, Parker tests the stopping power of a bowling ball against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. While the bowling ball effectively stops handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP, and even rifle rounds like 5.56 and .308, it is ultimately penetrated by the powerful .50 BMG round. The test highlights the significant difference in energy and penetration capabilities between different firearm calibers.
This video from Yee Yee Life features an experiment testing the ballistic penetration of Feastables chocolate bars against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The results show a clear correlation between caliber size and penetration depth, with larger calibers easily passing through dozens of bars. The host, demonstrating safe firearm handling, provides an entertaining look at projectile energy transfer.
This video from Yee Yee Life conducts a practical, albeit informal, ballistics test to determine how many bamboo cutting boards are needed to stop various common bullet calibers. The experiment progresses from a .22 LR, which is stopped by the first board, up to a .50 BMG, which penetrates all eight boards. The host demonstrates safe handling and showcases a variety of firearms used in the tests, providing a visual comparison of bullet energy versus material resistance.
This experiment tests the bullet-stopping capabilities of 250 pounds of Play-Doh against various calibers. Penetration depths ranged from 4 inches for a .22 LR to 24 inches for a .50 BMG, with 9mm penetrating 10 inches and .45 ACP/ .50 AE reaching 22 inches. High-velocity rounds like the .223 AR-15 and 12 gauge slug penetrated 9.5 inches, demonstrating that while Play-Doh offers some resistance, it is not a reliable bullet stop for most common firearm calibers.
This video tests the bullet-stopping capabilities of Play-Doh. The experiment involves shooting various calibers into a large, whale-shaped mass of Play-Doh to see how much is required to stop them. It's a fun, albeit unconventional, approach to ballistics testing.
This video demonstrates the extreme muzzle blast of a .50 caliber sniper rifle by attempting to clear a dinner table. The experiment successfully blew most items off the table, showcasing the raw power of the large caliber round. It highlights the significant pressure wave generated by such firearms.
This video tests the ballistic resistance of a large crystal ball against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers cause minor damage, larger rounds like the .308 and 12 gauge slug create significant internal fracturing and shattering. The .50 BMG completely obliterates the crystal ball, but remarkably, the bullet still doesn't penetrate the mannequin behind it.
This video tests the ballistic penetration of a .50 caliber sniper rifle against a car engine block. The .50 BMG round successfully penetrated the car's fender and some engine components but was ultimately stopped by the engine block itself. A mannequin placed behind the engine survived the impact, demonstrating the engine's surprising defensive capability against this powerful round.
