The Arrow Gun (More Powerful Than ANY Crossbow!!!)

This video explores hypothetical alien defense scenarios using firearms and tactical gear against a ballistic dummy. It debunks common sci-fi tropes for defeating aliens and demonstrates the effectiveness of various calibers and weapons, from less-lethal rounds and crossbows to powerful handguns, shotguns, AR-15s, and a massive 4 Bore rifle. The experiment highlights the destructive power of conventional firearms against a simulated threat.

This video compares the stopping power of different archery equipment against Stretch Armstrong toys. A recurve bow with field tips barely penetrates the first toy, while a 60lb PSE compound bow with broadheads passes through two. The TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow, shooting at 470 fps, demonstrates significant power, with broadheads penetrating multiple toys.

With ammunition costs rising, this expert guide from GUN NEWS highlights smart shooter strategies for maintaining proficiency without breaking the bank. The video recommends several firearm platforms known for their lower per-round costs, including .22 LR rifles like the Ruger 10/22, Pistol-Caliber Carbines (PCCs) in 9mm, modern air rifles, inline muzzleloaders, and affordable surplus military rifles. It emphasizes that choosing the right platform can significantly reduce training expenses while still allowing for high-volume practice.

This video tests the destructive power of two TenPoint crossbows against flammable targets, including a propane tank. The Nitro 505, at 505 fps, initially penetrates multiple aerosol cans causing a fireball that damages the crossbow. The Viper S400 then successfully punctures a propane tank, leading to a significant explosion and flame effect.

This video from GUNBROS discusses 'gun blasphemy' within the firearms community, defining it as opinions or actions considered sacrilegious. Key points include the assertion that calling the Ruger 10/22 a bad rifle is blasphemous, as it's considered the 'gold standard' and ideal starting point for .22 LR firearms. The hosts also suggest that not owning or liking the AR-15 platform is blasphemous, emphasizing its importance for every gun owner. While acknowledging the value of high-end rifles like Radian and Geissele AR-15s, the ultimate conclusion is that personal training is more critical than gear for performance.

This video, presented by an expert with high authority in firearms preparedness, analyzes alternative calibers to 9mm for a 2026 survival scenario. It ranks calibers based on recoil management, hand-size compatibility, logistics, and performance under stress, highlighting strengths for diverse family members and specific defensive roles. The analysis emphasizes practical considerations beyond typical self-defense applications.

This video details a catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG, which exploded due to extreme pressure exceeding 85,000 PSI. The incident resulted in severe injuries to the shooter, Scott, including a broken orbital bone, nose, lacerated jugular vein, and punctured lung. The analysis points to the breech cap shearing off its threads as the failure point, highlighting the dangers of exceeding firearm pressure limits.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics puts the Desert Eagle Mark XIX through a series of extreme environmental torture tests. The firearm demonstrates impressive initial resilience, functioning perfectly after water submersion and snow exposure. However, it encounters significant malfunctions when subjected to mud and sand, highlighting potential failure points in extreme conditions. The test is conducted by Scott, a recognized authority in destructive firearm testing.

This video features a series of extreme caliber tests using a zombie torso dummy. The .700 Nitro Express is tested with a 1000-grain soft point round, followed by .600, .500, and .470 Nitro Express calibers. Additional tests include the .460 Weatherby Magnum and .500 Jeffery, showcasing the immense power and recoil of these large-bore firearms.

This Liberty Safe National Classic Select underwent extreme torture tests, including a flamethrower fire simulation and ballistic impacts. While it withstood .45 ACP, .50 AE, .500 S&W Magnum, and .450 Marlin rounds, a .308 Win round penetrated, and .50 BMG rounds easily breached the safe. Despite significant damage, the safe's frame remained intact against mechanical force.
