How To Bulletproof a Car on a Budget!!!

This guide details the construction of DIY armor using inexpensive materials sourced from Dollar Tree, including baking pans, rocks, and duct tape, with a total cost under $15. The video demonstrates ballistic testing of the finished product at 7 yards against both 9mm and .357 Magnum rounds, showcasing surprising effectiveness. The host, 704 Tactical, emphasizes safe firearm handling throughout the experimental process.

This guide details the construction of a low-cost DIY body armor plate using common household materials and its subsequent ballistic testing against 9mm and 5.56x45mm rounds. The experiment, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates the armor's ability to stop handgun rounds but its failure against rifle rounds. It highlights the importance of understanding material limitations when considering personal protection.

This guide details the construction of a DIY body armor plate using readily available materials like ceramic tiles, a fiberglass welding blanket, and duct tape, costing approximately $23. The video demonstrates its performance against 9mm and .223 FMJ rounds, noting it stopped both but was penetrated by 5.56 Green Tip (M855). While not recommended for personal protection, it's presented as a viable option for reinforcing walls or other non-wearable applications. The instructor's expertise is evident in the practical demonstration and comparison to commercial armor plates.

This video showcases the extreme testing of a custom-built 4x4 slam-fire shotgun, nicknamed the 'Wrist Breaker,' by firearms content creator Edwin Sarkissian. The guide details the process of testing this unique weapon, emphasizing the significant recoil and destructive potential, even when using Aguila 12-gauge Minishells. It covers initial recoil tests, simultaneous four-barrel firing, ballistic gel testing with a synthetic skull, and penetration tests on a riot shield and water jug, highlighting the inherent dangers and experimental nature of such firearms.

This guide details the construction of two essential AR-15 configurations: a compact 11.5-inch 'SHTF' build and a versatile 16-inch 'Recce' build, both chambered in 5.56 NATO. The video emphasizes component selection, the importance of barrel length for performance, and the value of chronograph data for verifying ballistics. It also advises new shooters to buy complete rifles while encouraging experienced builders to focus on tolerance stacking for personalized performance. The instruction comes from an expert with high technical proficiency in AR-15 platforms.

This guide details the experimental testing of 3D printed ammunition in 9mm and .45 ACP calibers. It covers firearm selection, target preparation, and the process of evaluating accuracy, penetration, and potential lethality using various materials. The content highlights the experimental nature and limitations of this DIY ammunition, emphasizing its impracticality for self-defense due to low energy and poor performance beyond close range.

This video from DemolitionRanch, hosted by Matt Carriker, explores the capabilities of high-powered, regulated air rifles like the AirForce Texan SS and Sam Yang Dragon Claw. Carriker demonstrates their impressive power, accuracy, and surprisingly quiet operation due to integrated suppressors, highlighting a legal loophole where these airguns and their suppressors are not subject to NFA regulations. The content showcases ballistics testing and comparisons, emphasizing the expert knowledge of the host in firearms and related legalities.

This video features Nicholas Irving, a former Special Operations sniper, demonstrating and discussing various high-powered firearms. Irving, author of 'Way of the Reaper,' shares insights on sniper rifles like the Barrett M107A1 and SR-25, discusses the recoil of the S&W 500 Magnum, and tests the penetration capabilities of different calibers against an engine block. The content highlights practical applications and the effectiveness of these weapons in tactical scenarios.

This video demonstrates the dangerous consequences of firing incorrect ammunition calibers in firearms. Experienced instructor Matt Carriker shows how .380 ACP in a 9mm firearm and 9mm in a .40 S&W firearm can lead to cycling failures and severe brass deformation due to improper headspacing. The experiment highlights the critical importance of using the correct ammunition for each firearm to ensure safe operation and prevent damage.

This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring firearms expert Matt Carriker, tests the ballistic resistance of Flex Tape when used as improvised body armor. The experiment involves layering Flex Tape onto cardboard and testing its effectiveness against .22 LR, 5.7x28mm (FN PS90), and 9mm (CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1) rounds. The results demonstrate that even extensive layering of Flex Tape is insufficient to stop common firearm calibers, highlighting the importance of proper ballistic materials.
