This video tests the effectiveness of using a pillow as a makeshift silencer, a common trope in movies. The host conducts a sound test by firing a firearm into a pillow multiple times and compares the resulting sound to firing without the pillow. The visual evidence shows the pillow accumulating bullet holes, indicating it was used as a backstop.

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 compilation from Kentucky Ballistics showcases a year of content, featuring an array of large-caliber and exotic firearms, including a 2-bore rifle, a Lahti L-39 20mm anti-materiel rifle, and the GM6 Lynx .50 BMG bullpup. The video blends serious firearm demonstrations with comedic skits involving recurring characters like 'Scooter' and 'W', and concludes with a signature table destruction montage. Scott demonstrates advanced handling of these powerful weapons, offering insights into their unique mechanics and sheer destructive potential.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics explores the effects of firing various firearms underwater. The expert instructor demonstrates how water significantly impacts bullet performance and firearm function, ranging from minimal bullet deformation in handguns to catastrophic failure in rifles like the AR-15. The .50 BMG test highlights extreme power, breaching the target and pool structure.

This video tests the myth of water being bulletproof by firing various firearms, from 9mm handguns to a .50 BMG rifle, into a water tank. Results show that even high-powered rounds like the .50 BMG are significantly slowed or stopped by water, failing to penetrate to the target. The tests demonstrate water's effectiveness in dissipating projectile energy.

This video tests various firearms and projectile weapons against a 250-pound ballistic gel Mega Furby. Smaller calibers like .22 Magnum and .380 ACP failed to penetrate, while larger handguns like the .50 AE Desert Eagle and .500 Magnum achieved significant penetration. High-power rifles, including the .45-70 Government and .416 Rigby, proved capable of full penetration, with the .408 CheyTac and .55 Boys anti-tank rifle demonstrating extreme destructive power.

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.
