Bowling Ball Cannon vs Glass

This video details an experiment where a single .50 BMG round was heated in a pan on a portable stove, simulating cooking a hot dog. The .50 BMG round detonated, punching a hole through the pan and leaving an imprint of its base. The speaker, demonstrating experienced authority, emphasizes the extreme danger and unpredictability of such actions, advising against repeating the "forbidden hot dog" experiment. The demonstration was conducted at an outdoor range with safety measures like taking cover behind a truck.

This video demonstrates a unique method of breaching a safe using a custom-built bowling ball cannon. Host Edwin Sarkissian, known for his expertise in firearms-related entertainment and destructive testing, details the process from safe specifications to propellant selection and the successful penetration of a Sanctuary Reserve Safe. The experiment highlights the extreme force achievable with a well-calibrated projectile launcher.

This guide details the process of preparing and firing a custom-built bowling ball cannon, as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. It covers loading black powder, using wadding, and safely launching a bowling ball projectile. The demonstration highlights significant recoil and projectile impact force.

This guide details the procedure for firing an improvised cannon using a bowling ball as a projectile, as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. It covers vehicle preparation, cannon loading with black powder, projectile insertion, and the firing sequence. The experiment highlights the destructive potential of improvised artillery, emphasizing safety precautions due to the inherent risks involved.

This video demonstrates the firing of a custom-built bowling ball cannon, showcasing experimental ballistics and destructive testing. The cannon, loaded with FFFG black powder, successfully obliterates a line of seven cinderblocks using a standard bowling ball as the projectile. The expert instruction highlights knowledge of black powder grades and safety protocols for experimental large-bore devices.

This video details an extreme destructive test involving a .50 BMG round fired down the barrel of another .50 BMG rifle, the Serbu BFG-50A, with its designer Mark Serbu present. The experiment showcases the immense power of .50 BMG ammunition and the structural integrity (and failure points) of high-caliber firearms. It also includes tests of .50 BMG penetration on the barrel and action, and a comparison with a 7.62x39mm VZ-58.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms instructor, conducting a unique bullet penetration test. He uses 12 Ozark Trail 12-inch cast iron skillets to determine how many rounds from various calibers and firearms, including 9mm, .45 ACP, 500 S&W Magnum, 7.62x39mm, 5.56mm, 5.7x28mm, and 12 Gauge slugs, can penetrate the cookware. The results offer practical insights into the ballistic performance of different ammunition types against a common household item.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian provides an expert-level demonstration of the Serbu BFG-50A rifle's capability against a railroad track. Sarkissian, a high-level firearms enthusiast, showcases the .50 BMG caliber's power with various ammunition types, including the specialized Raufoss Mk 211 Mod 0, highlighting its penetration through thick steel. The content offers valuable insights into terminal ballistics and the performance of heavy caliber rounds.

This video demonstrates a unique application of the X Products Can Cannon, a gas-operated launcher compatible with AR-15/M16 lowers, to launch an M67-style fragmentation grenade using .223 Blanks. Expert experimentalist Edwin Sarkissian showcases the process of loading and firing the device towards a frozen lake, highlighting the launcher's ability to hold the grenade's spoon in place until firing. The demonstration results in a significant explosion and ice shatter upon impact.

This guide details a ballistic test comparing a .50 Cal Spotter round against a 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass panel using a Serbu BFG-50A rifle. The test, conducted by firearms enthusiast Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates the significant destructive potential of specialized .50 BMG ammunition, highlighting differences in impact effects between incendiary spotter rounds and standard FMJ rounds. The expert-level demonstration emphasizes the importance of understanding ammunition types and their performance against protective materials.
