How many TV's it takes to stop Arrows?

This experiment tests the penetration power of different bows through watermelons. A recurve bow penetrated three watermelons, a compound bow with a practice tip penetrated four and stopped in the fifth, while a broadhead stopped in the third. The TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow with a broadhead penetrated five watermelons, and with a practice tip, it penetrated six.

This video revisits the physics of arrow flight, specifically testing how far arrows travel when launched at a 45-degree angle compared to a lower angle. It demonstrates that a 45-degree launch significantly increases distance for both compound and traditional bows. The experiment uses precise angle measurement tools and compares results from a compound bow, a traditional recurve bow, and a high-speed crossbow.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 100-pound kettlebell against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The kettlebell demonstrated significant resistance, stopping or significantly deforming most rounds. However, the powerful .50 BMG round ultimately penetrated the kettlebell, exiting through the bottom/side. The test highlights the surprising durability of the kettlebell against common handgun and rifle rounds but its limitations against extreme calibers.

This video, titled "Será que um quebra-queixo resiste a tiros?" (Can a 'breaker-of-jaws' withstand bullets?), directly asks if a specific item, colloquially referred to as a 'quebra-queixo', can withstand gunfire. Without a transcript or further description, the exact nature of the 'quebra-queixo' is unknown, but the title strongly suggests a ballistic testing scenario involving firearms. The content likely aims to explore the durability of an object when subjected to projectile impact, making it relevant for those interested in ballistics, material science, or informal firearm testing.

This video explores the maximum altitude achievable by arrows launched with a string attached, utilizing archery equipment. The title and description suggest a focus on the physics and practical limits of arrow flight in an archery context. The presence of #compoundbow and #pse indicates specific equipment is likely featured. While the core topic is arrow ballistics, it falls under the broader umbrella of projectile dynamics relevant to archery enthusiasts.

This experiment tested how many White Flyer Bio clay targets a 9mm 115gr FMJ bullet could penetrate. The 9mm round, fired from a Glock, successfully passed through 53 clay targets before coming to rest in the 54th. The setup involved arranging 80 targets in groups of ten, separated by cardboard to isolate impact energy.

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.
