Can concrete stop this bullet?

This video demonstrates a 'hand cannon' test using a Thompson/Center ProHunter pistol to destroy a watermelon in an outdoor winter environment. The experienced speaker highlights safe firearm handling, including the use of ear and eye protection, and achieves a 'dead center' shot, resulting in the watermelon's dramatic disintegration. The demonstration serves as an entertaining showcase of the firearm's power.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the .17 HMR cartridge's lethality, featuring detailed ballistic testing and comparisons. The host, recognized for his expertise in firearms testing, demonstrates the round's performance against ballistic gel, simulated anatomy, and a ballistic dummy, concluding it's highly effective for varmints but not ideal for self-defense against humans.

This video tests six different hunting bullet types fired at zero yards into a block of paper to assess penetration depth and terminal performance. The Federal Terminal Ascent and Barnes 127 LRX demonstrated the deepest penetration, while the Hornady 147 ELDM showed the least. The test highlights how different bullet constructions perform when encountering resistance, simulating passage through an animal's thick hide and tissue.

This video tests various popular brush gun calibers (.30-30, .44 Magnum, .450 Bushmaster, .45-70, .500 S&W Magnum) and a 12-gauge shotgun slug against a ballistic bear head, simulating shooting through thick brush. The tests evaluate projectile penetration and effectiveness in vegetation. The speaker, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, provides practical insights into which calibers perform best in dense environments.

This video demonstrates a unique ballistics test conducted by Nikko Ortiz, an informal firearms content creator. Using an AR-10 style rifle chambered in .308 Winchester, Ortiz performs a penetration test on multiple turkeys lined up on a desert shooting range. The footage highlights the rifle's setup with a high-magnification scope and bipod, and showcases the dramatic effects of bullet impact in slow motion.

This guide details building and zeroing a Thompson/Center Encore Pro Hunter rifle for moose hunting, chambered in 300 Win Mag. It covers selecting appropriate optics and ammunition, with a focus on achieving accuracy through proper zeroing procedures and testing various loads. The instructor emphasizes understanding bullet drop and aiming points for large game like moose.

This video demonstrates the severe dangers of using smokeless powder in a muzzleloader designed for black powder, resulting in a catastrophic barrel explosion. The speaker, identified as a manufacturer representative, uses a remote firing rig to safely showcase the consequences of this common but deadly mistake. The footage highlights the importance of understanding powder types and pressure differences to prevent dangerous malfunctions.

This video presents an accuracy comparison between a traditional flintlock rifle and a modern sporting rifle at 100 yards. The host, demonstrating high expertise and safe firearm handling, loads and fires both rifles, utilizing Hornady Match .308 ammunition and Goex Black Powder. The comparison highlights the practical differences in loading times and aims to determine which platform achieves superior accuracy under these conditions.

This expert guide details the catastrophic failure modes of muzzleloaders, as demonstrated by Thompson/Center Arms' engineering team. It covers the dangers of double loading, double powder charges, and critically, the use of smokeless powder, which led to a barrel explosion. The video emphasizes safety and understanding pressure limits in muzzleloading firearms.

This guide, presented by an expert from Thompson/Center Arms, focuses on three critical shooting mistakes and their solutions. It covers achieving a Natural Point of Aim (NPOA) for stability, mastering trigger control to overcome target panic, and the benefits of shooting with both eyes open for improved awareness. The instruction emphasizes fundamental techniques for becoming a better marksman.
