CATCHing A BULLET?

This video investigates the potential dangers of using fishing weights (chumbada de pesca) as projectiles in a shotgun. It aims to determine if this is a safe practice or if it poses risks to the firearm or shooter. The content is a cautionary exploration rather than a demonstration of safe or recommended use.

This video explores the ballistic capabilities of liters of liquid, specifically how much volume is needed to stop a bullet. It delves into the physics of projectile impact and material resistance, likely using various materials or scenarios to demonstrate the effectiveness of liquid barriers against different types of ammunition. The video aims to provide an understanding of kinetic energy transfer and the properties that make certain substances effective at absorbing or deflecting bullets.

This video demonstrates a dangerous experiment where 22 LR, 9mm, and .223 ammunition are heated in a pan on a stove, leading to their detonation. The host, exhibiting expertise in firearm technology, shows the explosive force and dispersal of components for each caliber. The experiment highlights the inherent dangers of ammunition when subjected to heat, emphasizing the importance of safe storage and handling practices.

This video debunks the myth of the .38 Special being solely a low-power round, highlighting its historical development and continued relevance. It explores its effectiveness, especially with modern +P ammunition, and its enduring popularity for concealed carry due to reliability and simplicity. The discussion also touches upon the practical advantages for reloaders and its trusted status in self-defense and law enforcement.

This video explores the hypothetical scenario of firing a rifle bullet in reverse. It aims to explain the physics and potential outcomes of such an unusual act, likely delving into projectile dynamics and firearm mechanics. The content is geared towards understanding the behavior of ammunition when its intended trajectory is reversed, making it an educational piece for firearm enthusiasts interested in the technical aspects of shooting.

This video debunks the myth that all cheap ammo is bad, recommending HSL Ammunition reloads for 9mm and .223, and Federal Field & Target for 12-gauge as reliable budget options. It warns against Blazer Aluminum .38 Special and steel-case 9mm due to potential firearm damage from split cases. Winchester NATO and PMC are noted as reliable, slightly pricier bulk choices.

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.
