This video from Yee Yee Life features an experiment testing the ballistic penetration of Feastables chocolate bars against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The results show a clear correlation between caliber size and penetration depth, with larger calibers easily passing through dozens of bars. The host, demonstrating safe firearm handling, provides an entertaining look at projectile energy transfer.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic penetration of various firearm calibers through standard decks of playing cards. The host, demonstrating enthusiasm and proper firearm handling, shows how many decks are needed to stop rounds from 9mm up to .50 BMG. The results highlight the significant differences in power and penetration capabilities across common handgun and rifle cartridges.

This video tests the bullet-stopping capabilities of a large, dense ball of dried paint. Surprisingly, the paint successfully stopped .22 LR, 9mm, and .44 Magnum rounds. However, it was easily penetrated by a .45 ACP and completely overwhelmed by a .50 AE. The results suggest dried paint offers more ballistic resistance than commonly assumed, especially against moderate handgun calibers.

This video tests the penetration power of various calibers through Hammermill copy paper. A 9mm round stopped after one pack (500 sheets), while a .44 Magnum Bear Load penetrated into the second pack. An AR-15 with 5.56mm ammo went through 1,500 sheets, and a 12-gauge slug stopped within the third pack. The test highlights significant differences in projectile energy and stopping potential.

In this experiment from Yee Yee Life, Parker tests the stopping power of a bowling ball against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. While the bowling ball effectively stops handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP, and even rifle rounds like 5.56 and .308, it is ultimately penetrated by the powerful .50 BMG round. The test highlights the significant difference in energy and penetration capabilities between different firearm calibers.

This experiment tests the bullet-stopping power of toilet paper against various firearm calibers. Results show that common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by 6-7 rolls, while rifle rounds require more. Higher-powered calibers like .308 Winchester and 300 Norma Magnum penetrate significantly more rolls, demonstrating the varying ballistic performance based on caliber and velocity.

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.
