World’s Strongest Man vs World’s Strongest Recoil !!! (ft. Eddie Hall)

This video tests various firearms against a custom ballistic torso simulating Wolverine's adamantium skeleton. Smaller calibers like .22 LR, 5.7x28mm, 9mm, and .45 ACP failed to penetrate the metal structure. Larger handgun calibers like 10mm and .50 GI also proved ineffective. However, powerful magnum handgun rounds (.50 AE, .500 S&W) and rifle calibers (.30-06, .416 Rigby) caused significant damage, with the 4 Bore and a safe drop completely destroying the torso.

This video tests the effectiveness of using a pillow as a makeshift silencer, a common trope in movies. The host conducts a sound test by firing a firearm into a pillow multiple times and compares the resulting sound to firing without the pillow. The visual evidence shows the pillow accumulating bullet holes, indicating it was used as a backstop.

This video tests various firearms against a ballistic gel T-Rex head to determine what it would take to defeat one. Small calibers and magnum handguns proved ineffective. Larger calibers like the .45-70 and .577 Tyrannosaur showed more promise, but only extreme calibers such as the 700 BMG, 4 Bore, and the 950 JDJ delivered catastrophic damage, with the 950 JDJ completely shattering the skull.

TheYankeeMarshal critically analyzes common ported barrel recoil tests, highlighting significant flaws in methodologies like Ransom rests and level gauges. He argues these methods are prone to inconsistency due to resistance and flex, leading to inaccurate recoil angle measurements. The speaker also criticizes content creators for potentially scripting results, undermining scientific integrity.

This video features a unique challenge where guest Houston Jones must shoot mystery boxes containing items he likes. The challenge involves a 'Wheels of Misfortune' system that dictates the firearm caliber and number of shots required to open each box. Several high-caliber firearms are used, including a .50 BMG rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun, and a .500 Magnum revolver, testing the durability of various items within the boxes.

This expert guide, presented by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, demonstrates the extreme danger of using modern smokeless gunpowder in a muzzleloader. The experiment clearly shows that muzzleloaders are designed for slower-burning black powder, and substituting modern powders leads to catastrophic failure due to immense pressure differences. The video emphasizes that this practice is akin to creating a 'pipe bomb' and should never be attempted.

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.
