can we open a safe with a Bowling ball Cannon?

This experiment tests the impact resistance of a 300-gallon water tank against a bowling ball fired from a custom black powder cannon. The bowling ball successfully penetrated the tank, demonstrating significant kinetic energy transfer. While the water absorbed enough energy to prevent the projectile from exiting the rear, the tank's structural integrity was compromised, with the projectile remaining inside.

This video showcases an experimental bowling ball cannon, custom-built and patriotically themed, utilizing black powder for propulsion. The demonstration highlights extreme recoil, with the first shot flipping the cannon and damaging its mount. The second shot achieves an estimated range of over 3 miles, underscoring the immense power of the black powder charge and the projectile physics involved in such extreme launches.

This YouTube live stream features Mr. Snow.Makes discussing his various projects, including a cannon and high-speed filming. While the title suggests a potentially broad range of topics, the mention of "cannons" and the context of 3D2A (often associated with 3D-printed firearms and related engineering) indicate a strong likelihood of firearms-adjacent or directly firearms-related content. The stream is described as being "a little more off topic than our normal streams, but should be fun," implying a more casual and potentially varied discussion.

This video details the assembly of a 30mm APFSDS-T round, showcasing the attachment of tail fins, sabot petals, and a retaining ring before insertion into the cartridge case. It then demonstrates live fire from a Mk44 Bushmaster cannon, highlighting the projectile's high velocity, approximately five times the speed of sound. The content emphasizes the technical aspects of military-grade ammunition and its application.

This video showcases scenes from the 2025 Battle of Camden, South Carolina, which is described as the largest Revolutionary War reenactment in the South. The content likely focuses on historical military displays, period weaponry, and the spectacle of a large-scale historical reenactment.

This video demonstrates a destructive test using a modern cannon firing a homemade grapeshot load of ball bearings at a car. The test showcases the significant damage potential of historical ordnance, with the grapeshot creating a wide spread of punctures and shattering multiple windows. The host provides a detailed assessment of the vehicle's damage, highlighting the effectiveness of the improvised projectile.

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.
