$0.30 Shotgun Slug: Literally anyone can do it.

This video tests the ground penetration depth of various common ammunition calibers: 9mm, .22 LR, and a 12 gauge slug. The 9mm HSL Ammo reload penetrated 8 inches, the .22 LR from a Volquartsen Arms Mamba reached 3 inches, and the 12 gauge slug disintegrated after approximately 2 inches of penetration.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a baseball glove modified with material from a 500-denier bulletproof vest. The modified glove successfully stopped bird shot and a 9mm round from a SAR P8L handgun. However, it was unable to withstand a 12-gauge slug, demonstrating the limitations of the material against heavier projectiles.

This guide details a practical test of STNGR ballistic sunglasses against various firearm calibers, demonstrating their resistance to spalling. The Civilian Tactical host, with clear expertise in tactical gear and firearms, showcases how different rounds impact the lenses, highlighting the importance of proper eye protection in dynamic shooting environments. The tests confirm that while some rounds may damage the frames, the lenses offer significant protection against fragmentation.

This video debunks common misconceptions about body armor, clarifying that no armor is truly 'bulletproof' but rather resistant to specific calibers and threats. It explains spalling, differentiates between ceramic and steel armor performance, and addresses the effectiveness against fragmentation and various ammunition types like 5.56 and .50 caliber rounds.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms against a stack of baking sheets, culminating with a .50 BMG round. The experiment demonstrates the relative stopping power of different calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, and includes a 12-gauge slug, AK-47, .308, and .30-06 rifle rounds. The results highlight significant differences in penetration, with the .50 BMG ultimately piercing all 34 baking sheets.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of various common firearm calibers through a stack of 1000 paper plates. It highlights how bullet energy and construction significantly affect penetration depth, with higher caliber rounds generally requiring more plates to stop. The experiment provides a visual, albeit informal, understanding of ballistic performance against a soft, uniform medium.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
