20mm vs Excavator Bucket

This expert guide, presented by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, demonstrates the extreme danger of using modern smokeless gunpowder in a muzzleloader. The experiment clearly shows that muzzleloaders are designed for slower-burning black powder, and substituting modern powders leads to catastrophic failure due to immense pressure differences. The video emphasizes that this practice is akin to creating a 'pipe bomb' and should never be attempted.

This video tests the penetration power of various calibers against a 50-pound bag of rice. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm showed limited penetration, larger rounds like .45 ACP and .50 AE penetrated the bag. The .50 BMG sniper rifle completely obliterated the rice bag and the dummy target, demonstrating its immense power.

This video demonstrates the destructive power of a customized Glock 19 firing Sim-X 9mm DefenseCore ammunition into a watermelon. The demonstration highlights the significant hydrostatic shock and explosive effect on the fruit, showcasing the terminal ballistics of the ammunition and the capabilities of the modified firearm.

This video showcases the destructive power of a 20mm round fired from a Typhon 20 rifle against pressurized oxygen and acetylene tanks. The 20mm projectile demonstrated significant penetration, causing massive explosions and sending tanks flying. Even reinforced tank bases were penetrated or had rounds embedded, highlighting the extreme ballistic capabilities of this caliber.

The video title 'This Disc Explodes' is highly suggestive of a firearm demonstration, likely involving a destructive test or a unique firing mechanism. Given the lack of a description, it's probable the content focuses on the dramatic effect of the "disc exploding," which in a firearm context could relate to ammunition performance, experimental projectile designs, or a theatrical demonstration of firearm capabilities. Without further information, the exact nature of the "disc" and the firearm involved remains speculative, but the title strongly points towards an action-oriented or experimental firearms video.

This YouTube video, titled "50 BMG vs 3.8 liters of cola in slow motion," likely features a ballistic test comparing the impact of a .50 BMG round against a large quantity of cola, shown in extreme slow motion. The visual focus is on the explosive interaction and the fragmentation of the cola, highlighting the immense power of the .50 BMG cartridge. While the title is in Portuguese, the subject matter is universally understood within firearms and ballistics communities.

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.
