Demolition Ranch Dressing.....I Hate You All

This video experimentally tests what happens when ammunition is fired outside of a gun's chamber. Contrary to some misconceptions, firing cartridges without a barrel and chamber results in significantly reduced velocity and energy, often with incomplete powder burn. Even large calibers like .50 BMG and shotgun shells show minimal projectile movement and energy when ignited this way, highlighting the critical role of the firearm's design in harnessing explosive force.

This video showcases the intricate manufacturing process of the custom 'Demolitia' double-stack 1911 by Watchtower Firearms, detailing CNC machining and hand-fitting. It also features a creative homemade body armor challenge with ballistic testing, highlighting the effectiveness of different materials against various calibers, including .30-06 AP rounds.

This video features Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch conducting a farewell experiment, testing the effectiveness of jumping on a grenade using ballistic dummies. It also includes a test of a WWII German Pak 40 anti-tank gun's lethal range. The results demonstrate significant blast and fragmentation suppression from the grenade and the devastating power of the Pak 40's muzzle blast and kinetic projectile.

Demolition Ranch's Matt Carriker hosted an unprecedented gun shop event, drawing massive crowds who camped out over 24 hours in advance. The sale featured a diverse inventory, including personal collection firearms, NFA items, and 'torture test' guns. Strategies like 'line skip' challenges for high-value items were implemented to manage the overwhelming turnout, highlighting the strong community engagement and demand.

This video explores extreme sound suppression methods for firearms, including unconventional materials and techniques. It highlights the significant noise reduction achieved with suppressors, especially on bolt-action platforms like the Q Fix in 8.6 Blackout. The experiment culminates in burying a suppressed rifle, demonstrating the effectiveness of mass and isolation in dampening gunshot noise, albeit with a baffle strike.

This video showcases the legal distinction and practical application of 37mm launchers, which are classified as flare launchers by the ATF and not firearms. It features the Ordnance Group Tac-79 and Tac-D, along with various exotic ammunition types from Exotic Ammo, including flashbangs and glass-breaking rounds. The content culminates in the creation and testing of a 'Triple Dumper' setup, demonstrating impressive firepower.

This video explores the AirForce Texan SS, a suppressed .45 caliber big bore air rifle, and the Sam Yang Dragon Claw .50 caliber air rifle. It highlights how these powerful airguns, despite their significant energy output (around 500 ft-lbs for the Texan SS), are not legally classified as firearms, allowing their integrated suppressors to bypass NFA regulations. The review includes sound comparisons, accuracy tests at 100 yards, and penetration demonstrations, showcasing their surprising effectiveness.

This video features former Special Operations sniper Nicholas 'The Reaper' Irving demonstrating various firearms and sharing combat insights. Key takeaways include the performance of the Barrett M107A1 and SR-25, the extreme recoil of the S&W 500 Magnum, and the effectiveness of .50 BMG rounds against an engine block. Irving's expertise as a decorated sniper significantly enhances the technical depth of the content.

This expert guide details the dangerous consequences of firing incorrect calibers in handguns, as demonstrated by firearms instructor Matt Carriker. It covers firing .380 ACP in a 9mm, 9mm in a .40 S&W, and .223 Remington in a .40 S&W, highlighting malfunctions like failure to cycle, bulged casings, and blown-out necks due to improper headspacing and lack of chamber support. The video emphasizes the critical importance of using the correct ammunition for firearm safety and function.

This review by Demolition Ranch tests the ballistic resistance of Flex Tape against various firearms, including the FN PS90 and CZ Scorpion. The experiment demonstrates that even significant layers of Flex Tape are easily penetrated by common calibers, highlighting the limitations of improvised ballistic materials. The video features expert handling and detailed explanations of firearm mechanics and ballistics.
