Flaregun vs TV

This video explores whether watermelons can be effectively carved using bullets. While the title is intriguing and hints at a potential ballistic experiment, the description doesn't provide specific details about the firearms, calibers, or techniques used. It sets up a "what if" scenario that aims to pique viewer curiosity about the destructive power of ammunition on a common object.

This video compares a homemade 12-gauge slug against a store-bought one, testing their terminal ballistics on a car door. The homemade slug, weighing 7/8 oz and cast from melted birdshot using a Lee mold, created a smaller impact hole and did not exit the vehicle. A 1 oz store-bought slug, however, produced a larger entry hole and a clean exit, demonstrating superior performance.

This video tests the durability of an AR-15, AK-47, and a shotgun by encasing their barrels in concrete and firing them. All firearms successfully functioned after the concrete shattered upon firing, demonstrating remarkable resilience under extreme stress. The experiment highlights the robust engineering of these common firearm platforms.

This YouTube Shorts video demonstrates the destructive power of a 12-gauge shotgun by using it to destroy a tin of Zyn nicotine pouches. The title humorously suggests the Zyn is being eliminated. The video is short and likely visually driven, showcasing the impact of the shotgun blast. The mention of @StandardMfgLLC suggests they are the manufacturer of the shotgun used, potentially hinting at a demonstration of their product's capabilities.

This video tests Firequest's 12-gauge 'Flash Thunder Grenade' shotgun shells against a ballistic gel 'Cranium Target' at point-blank range. The test reveals the shell itself melted from extreme heat, and the ballistic gel sustained a deep, melted cavity with burn marks in the eye socket. The host concludes that while not firing a projectile, the shockwave and heat are lethal at close range.

This video explores the destructive potential of custom 12-gauge shotgun shells loaded with Halloween candy. Tests include Tootsie Rolls impacting a flour bag, Skittles fired as buckshot against a target, and a large lollipop shell against a mannequin. The results show significant fragmentation and dispersal, with varying degrees of penetration and surface damage.

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.
