Chopping Cleavers Bulletproof?

This video tests the 'bulletproof' claims of various chopping cleavers against different firearm calibers. While smaller rounds like .22 Magnum and 9mm FMJ were stopped by the steel blades, higher-powered rifle rounds (.357 Magnum and especially .45-70 Government) caused structural failure due to the material's brittleness, shattering the cleavers despite stopping the projectiles.

This video explores whether a pocket watch could potentially save a life, specifically in a bulletproof context. While the title hints at a ballistic protection element, the description is minimal, leaving the exact nature of the "save your life" scenario and the "bulletproof" aspect open to interpretation within the video's content. It's likely an examination of unusual defensive tools or historical artifacts with a potential life-saving application, possibly involving ballistics or impact resistance.

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 destructive test reveals that a Ramset powder-actuated nail gun can penetrate Level 3A body armor and 1.5-inch thick bulletproof glass, despite the glass previously stopping shotgun slugs and pistol rounds. However, the nail gun failed to penetrate a hardened railroad tie plate that had stopped rifle rounds. The test highlights the difference between blunt force and concentrated pressure impacts.

This YouTube video, titled 'Relógio de bolso à prova de bala pode salvar sua vida?' (Bulletproof pocket watch can save your life?), poses a question about the defensive capabilities of a bulletproof pocket watch. While the description is minimal, the title suggests an exploration of whether this specific item offers any practical self-defense or survival value against firearms. The content likely delves into the material properties and potential ballistic resistance of the watch, and whether it could realistically be used as a shield or defensive tool in a dangerous situation. It may also touch upon the concept of unexpected or concealed defensive items.

This video tests how many cast iron skillets are needed to stop various bullets, from .22 LR to 500 S&W Magnum. Most common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by two skillets. Rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm also require two to three skillets, while the powerful 500 S&W Magnum penetrates three and is stopped by the fourth. The .22 LR failed to penetrate even the first skillet.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50A, against a section of railroad track. Various .50 caliber rounds, including Raufoss Mk 211 API and silver tip API, were fired. While the rifle and ammunition demonstrated the ability to penetrate even the thickest parts of the rail (over 1.5 inches), bullet deflection and shifting upon impact with the dense steel were observed.

This video demonstrates launching an M67 fragmentation grenade using an X Products Can Cannon towards a distant frozen lake. The Can Cannon, firing .223 blanks, successfully propels the grenade, which detonates upon impact, creating a visible hole in the ice. The experiment highlights the launcher's capability for extreme projectile delivery in challenging outdoor conditions.

This video tests the destructive power of a .50 caliber spotter round against 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass, comparing it to a standard FMJ round. The spotter round, designed to spark and flash, created a larger crater and more surface damage than the FMJ round, demonstrating its specialized impact characteristics. The Serbu BFG-50A rifle was used for both tests.
