Shooting Cards With A 44 Magnum & .22 LR

This experiment tests how many pumpkins various firearms can penetrate. Handguns like the .45 ACP and .44 Magnum showed surprising stopping power, while high-velocity rifle rounds like the .223 and .308 fragmented or veered off course. The Desert Eagle chambered in .50 AE achieved the deepest penetration, stopping in the 13th pumpkin.

This experiment tests the ballistic resistance of a water heater filled with water against various calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, .44 Magnum, .50 AE, .223 Rem, and .308 Win were effectively stopped by the water, the powerful .50 BMG round easily penetrated the tank and destroyed the target behind it. The video highlights the significant difference in stopping power between common handgun/rifle rounds and extreme high-caliber sniper rounds.

This video tests the durability of a large glass ball against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. Smaller calibers cause minor damage, while larger rounds like the .44 Magnum shatter it. The .50 BMG completely obliterates a second, larger ball, demonstrating extreme destructive power.

This experiment compares the projectile distance of a baseball launched by various firearm calibers. A 9mm round propelled the ball about 10 yards, while a .45 ACP reached approximately 25 yards. The .44 Magnum and .450 Bushmaster significantly increased the distance, with the 12 gauge slug achieving the greatest range, sending the ball to the end of the outdoor shooting range.

This video features a range session with a Colt Anaconda revolver chambered in .44 Magnum. The focus is on experiencing the firearm in a shooting environment, highlighting its performance and handling during casual range play. The video showcases the classic design and powerful caliber of this iconic revolver.

This video tests the penetration power of various calibers through traffic cones, culminating with a .50 BMG sniper rifle. Smaller calibers like .22 LR and .380 ACP are stopped by a few cones, while 9mm and .44 Magnum require more. A .223 AR-15 penetrates ten cones, a .50 AE Desert Eagle stops after 12, and the .50 BMG obliterates 15 cones and a dummy.

This video details a catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG, which exploded due to extreme pressure exceeding 85,000 PSI. The incident resulted in severe injuries to the shooter, Scott, including a broken orbital bone, nose, lacerated jugular vein, and punctured lung. The analysis points to the breech cap shearing off its threads as the failure point, highlighting the dangers of exceeding firearm pressure limits.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics puts the Desert Eagle Mark XIX through a series of extreme environmental torture tests. The firearm demonstrates impressive initial resilience, functioning perfectly after water submersion and snow exposure. However, it encounters significant malfunctions when subjected to mud and sand, highlighting potential failure points in extreme conditions. The test is conducted by Scott, a recognized authority in destructive firearm testing.

This video features a series of extreme caliber tests using a zombie torso dummy. The .700 Nitro Express is tested with a 1000-grain soft point round, followed by .600, .500, and .470 Nitro Express calibers. Additional tests include the .460 Weatherby Magnum and .500 Jeffery, showcasing the immense power and recoil of these large-bore firearms.

This Liberty Safe National Classic Select underwent extreme torture tests, including a flamethrower fire simulation and ballistic impacts. While it withstood .45 ACP, .50 AE, .500 S&W Magnum, and .450 Marlin rounds, a .308 Win round penetrated, and .50 BMG rounds easily breached the safe. Despite significant damage, the safe's frame remained intact against mechanical force.
