how much cheese does it take to stop a bullet?

This short video from Tara Tactical demonstrates basic shooting proficiency on steel targets and humorously showcases an unconventional 'everyday use' for a Glock pistol by using its slide to open a beer bottle. The content highlights safe handling during target practice and a lighthearted, albeit not recommended, utility demonstration.

This video from Yee Yee Life conducts a practical, albeit informal, ballistics test to determine how many bamboo cutting boards are needed to stop various common bullet calibers. The experiment progresses from a .22 LR, which is stopped by the first board, up to a .50 BMG, which penetrates all eight boards. The host demonstrates safe handling and showcases a variety of firearms used in the tests, providing a visual comparison of bullet energy versus material resistance.

This video demonstrates a dangerous experiment where 22 LR, 9mm, and .223 ammunition are heated in a pan on a stove, leading to their detonation. The host, exhibiting expertise in firearm technology, shows the explosive force and dispersal of components for each caliber. The experiment highlights the inherent dangers of ammunition when subjected to heat, emphasizing the importance of safe storage and handling practices.

This video visually demonstrates the quantity of ammunition required to fill a bowl around a SIG Sauer P320 pistol. It shows the process of accumulating cartridges and briefly illustrates magazine loading, emphasizing the volume of ammunition involved. The video serves as a visual aid for understanding ammunition capacity and storage.

This video demonstrates proper handling of a Sig Sauer P320, including clearing the firearm, performing a function check, and safe holstering. The content touches on the P320's reputation for safety concerns in a humorous context, while the speaker exhibits clear signs of experienced firearm handling.

This video from the USCCA channel humorously demonstrates a large quantity of 9mm ammunition. While entertaining, it lacks in-depth instructional content or technical specifications, positioning the speaker as a hobbyist rather than a professional instructor.

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.
