how many footballs does it take to stop an Arrow - SuperBowl 2020

This experiment tests the penetration power of arrows against hard hats. A PSE Evoke 31 compound bow, drawing 75 lbs and shooting at 330 fps, was used. A standard practice tip arrow penetrated two hard hats, stopping at the third. A stainless steel broadhead arrow, however, completely pierced three hard hats, demonstrating significantly higher penetration capability.

This video features a compound bow being tested against various materials, including car doors and body armor. The creator explains that due to current circumstances preventing traditional shooting activities, they decided to bring out the bow for testing. The video showcases the bow's power through these unique tests, which also included water, spray paint, and sporting clays. The creator also includes links to their Patreon and PayPal for channel support.

This video tests a custom .50 BMG arrow designed to fire its round upon impact. Initial tests with a recurve bow failed due to the round falling out, but a successful ignition was achieved after securing it with tape, causing a significant explosion on a car door. Further tests showed dangerous ricochets and poor accuracy due to the arrow's extreme weight distribution, making it unsuitable for precise targeting.

This video tests if a bullet can split an arrow. Using a Standard Manufacturing G4S .22 LR rifle, the host fires approximately 50 rounds at an arrow secured to a bucket. Slow-motion footage reveals a .22 LR bullet impacting the arrow's nock, traveling through the hollow shaft, and detaching the metal tip, successfully splitting the arrow from end to end.

This video showcases an experimental projectile: a grenade attached to a compound bow arrow, fired at a Toyota Prius. It also features a Barrett .50 caliber rifle and a Glock 19X for destructive testing. The content highlights the effectiveness of these firearms and munitions in a controlled demolition scenario, alongside promotions for tactical gear like MIRA Safety gas masks and Grip6 products.

This YouTube video, titled "Arrow vs Skittles - TASTE THE RAINBOW," uses a crossbow to interact with Skittles candy. The description includes hashtags for 'arrow', 'skittles', and 'crossbow,' along with a link to TenPointCrossbows.com, indicating a focus on the archery equipment. While no firearms are directly involved, the presence of a crossbow and a manufacturer link suggests content geared towards projectile launching devices and related activities.

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.
