Can Soldiers Play Dead?

This video clarifies that soldiers have a right and an obligation to disobey unlawful orders, as defined by the Uniform Code of Military Justice and international law. The oath of enlistment swears allegiance to the Constitution, not solely to the President or superior officers. Unlawful orders include those that violate the Constitution, federal laws, or international law, such as targeting civilians or committing war crimes. The speaker emphasizes that 'following orders' is not a defense for illegal actions, citing the Nuremberg trials as a historical precedent.

This video from Forgotten Weapons, hosted by Ian McCollum, debunks the common myth that the .50 BMG cartridge violates international laws of war. McCollum expertly explains that while certain treaties prohibit expanding or exploding projectiles for humane reasons, no international law specifically bans the use of .50 BMG against enemy combatants. The video clarifies the distinctions between the Geneva and Hague Conventions and the St. Petersburg Declaration, offering historical context for these regulations.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
