500 Magnum vs GIANT Scissors ✂

Demolition Ranch's Matt Carriker tests the ballistic resistance of various kitchen utensils against a .22 LR bullet. While thin spoons fail, thicker spoons and serving utensils can stop the round. A Farberware cleaver shatters but stops the bullet, and a Lodge cast iron skillet stops .22 LR rounds in the center but breaks near the edge. An extreme test with a Barrett .50 BMG shows the skillet's limitations against high-powered calibers.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a large survival knife against various calibers. While the knife's handle sustained damage from 12 gauge birdshot and a .22, it was the .380 Auto round that caused a catastrophic failure, shearing the handle completely off. The revealed survival kit contained matches, sewing, and fishing supplies.

This video from Demolition Ranch explores the functionality and power of 'bang sticks,' devices designed for underwater use and shark protection. Instructor Matt Carriker tests various calibers (.223, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and 12 Gauge) on different targets, including watermelons and ballistic gel, demonstrating their effectiveness and significant recoil. The content highlights the unique mechanics of these tools and their potential applications beyond their intended purpose.

This video details a catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG, which exploded due to extreme pressure exceeding 85,000 PSI. The incident resulted in severe injuries to the shooter, Scott, including a broken orbital bone, nose, lacerated jugular vein, and punctured lung. The analysis points to the breech cap shearing off its threads as the failure point, highlighting the dangers of exceeding firearm pressure limits.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics puts the Desert Eagle Mark XIX through a series of extreme environmental torture tests. The firearm demonstrates impressive initial resilience, functioning perfectly after water submersion and snow exposure. However, it encounters significant malfunctions when subjected to mud and sand, highlighting potential failure points in extreme conditions. The test is conducted by Scott, a recognized authority in destructive firearm testing.

This video features a series of extreme caliber tests using a zombie torso dummy. The .700 Nitro Express is tested with a 1000-grain soft point round, followed by .600, .500, and .470 Nitro Express calibers. Additional tests include the .460 Weatherby Magnum and .500 Jeffery, showcasing the immense power and recoil of these large-bore firearms.

This Liberty Safe National Classic Select underwent extreme torture tests, including a flamethrower fire simulation and ballistic impacts. While it withstood .45 ACP, .50 AE, .500 S&W Magnum, and .450 Marlin rounds, a .308 Win round penetrated, and .50 BMG rounds easily breached the safe. Despite significant damage, the safe's frame remained intact against mechanical force.
