How Many Watermelons it takes to stop Arrows?

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of different archery platforms against fresh coconuts. Expert shooter Edwin Sarkissian tests a PSE Heritage traditional bow (170 fps), a PSE Evoke 31 compound bow (340 fps) with Muzzy broadheads and practice tips, and a TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow (430 fps) with various broadheads. The tests highlight the varying power and penetration of each bow type.

This video from Yee Yee Life demonstrates a practical archery experiment, testing the penetration capabilities of a 70 lb compound bow using both field tip and broadhead arrows against a 5-gallon water jug. The host, an enthusiast, showcases the differences in arrow performance and impact, providing visual evidence of penetration and leakage.

This video demonstrates an experimental archery test using a 70 lb compound bow to assess the penetration capabilities of different arrow tips through a large ball of Saran Wrap. The host, an archery enthusiast, shows that while a field tip offers minimal penetration, a carbon steel broadhead penetrates deeper, and a stainless steel fixed blade broadhead successfully passes through the entire mass.

This video demonstrates a penetration test comparing different arrow tips fired from a 70 lb compound bow into a large duct tape ball. The host, a niche influencer in the outdoor community, shows that a 350-grain big game broadhead achieved the deepest penetration, outperforming both a field tip and a mechanical broadhead. The experiment highlights the importance of broadhead selection for hunting effectiveness.

This video demonstrates a practical test of arrow penetration using a 70lb compound bow against a Continental tire. The host, an enthusiast, tests three arrow tip types: a blunt field point, a 4-blade fixed broadhead, and a 2-blade fixed broadhead. The results show varying degrees of penetration, with the 2-blade broadhead achieving the deepest penetration.

This video demonstrates an experiment testing the penetration capabilities of different arrows and compound bows on a boat hull. Granger Smith from Yee Yee Life showcases how budget vs. high-end bows, and field points vs. broadheads, affect penetration. The high-end bow achieved full pass-throughs with both arrow types, while the budget bow resulted in minor damage. A flaming arrow test was also included.

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.
