Arrows vs Apple MacBook Pros : Tenpoint Shadow NXT crossbow

This video compares the stopping power of different archery equipment against Stretch Armstrong toys. A recurve bow with field tips barely penetrates the first toy, while a 60lb PSE compound bow with broadheads passes through two. The TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow, shooting at 470 fps, demonstrates significant power, with broadheads penetrating multiple toys.

This experiment tests the penetration capabilities of bows and a crossbow against an airplane door. A 20 lb bow failed to penetrate, while a 70 lb bow succeeded, though the arrow broke. The 210 lb crossbow, using a broadhead, gashed through the door and embedded in a table, missing the dummy. The results highlight significant differences in projectile power and material resistance.

This video revisits the physics of arrow flight, specifically testing how far arrows travel when launched at a 45-degree angle compared to a lower angle. It demonstrates that a 45-degree launch significantly increases distance for both compound and traditional bows. The experiment uses precise angle measurement tools and compares results from a compound bow, a traditional recurve bow, and a high-speed crossbow.

This experiment tests the penetration power of different bows through watermelons. A recurve bow penetrated three watermelons, a compound bow with a practice tip penetrated four and stopped in the fifth, while a broadhead stopped in the third. The TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow with a broadhead penetrated five watermelons, and with a practice tip, it penetrated six.

This video showcases three distinct crossbow reloading methods: a tactical, efficient reload; a realistic, physically demanding manual cocking process; and a stylized, video-game-inspired spin reload. It highlights the difference between practical weapon manipulation and performance-based actions, demonstrating dexterity with a custom prop crossbow.

This experiment tests how many footballs an arrow can penetrate using different bows. A PSE compound bow and a TenPoint crossbow, both shooting around 340-370 fps, stopped arrows in the sixth football. A traditional recurve bow, however, only penetrated the first football, demonstrating a significant power difference.

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.
