Opening a safe with a bowling ball cannon

This video showcases the destructive power of a custom-built bowling ball mortar, demonstrating its ability to penetrate multiple fences and a car. The experiment culminates in a napalm projectile test, successfully incinerating mannequins. The content highlights the raw kinetic energy of the bowling ball projectile and the explosive potential of improvised incendiary devices.

This experiment tests the impact resistance of a 300-gallon water tank against a bowling ball fired from a custom black powder cannon. The bowling ball successfully penetrated the tank, demonstrating significant kinetic energy transfer. While the water absorbed enough energy to prevent the projectile from exiting the rear, the tank's structural integrity was compromised, with the projectile remaining inside.

This video demonstrates an extreme method of opening a SentrySafe using two M67 fragmentation grenades. Despite the safe being obliterated, a gold bar and most of the cash were recovered, though some bills were damaged. The experiment highlights the destructive power of explosives and the limitations of consumer-grade safes against such force.

This video demonstrates the surprising lethality of a custom-built PVC potato cannon. Testing reveals it can destroy a watermelon and shatter a ballistic dummy head at point-blank range, exceeding the impact of some handguns. The host emphasizes its dangerous nature, warning it is not a toy.

This experiment tests the destructive potential of a custom bowling ball cannon against a high-pressure oxygen tank. Initial attempts with conventional rounds failed, leading to the development of the bowling ball cannon. The cannon, loaded with black and pistol powder, successfully impacted the tank but did not rupture its casing. A second shot targeted the valve, causing rapid decompression and propelling the tank at high speed.

This video demonstrates the destructive potential of a custom bowling ball cannon against a Sanctuary Reserve safe. The experiment highlights the safe's robust construction with multiple locking bars and electronic lock, but ultimately shows a direct hit from the cannon can breach the door. The cannon's effectiveness is influenced by propellant choice and proper projectile seating, as a misfire occurred due to the bowling ball shifting.

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.
