This video tests the penetration capabilities of various firearm calibers against a cinderblock wall. Handgun rounds like .22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, 10mm, and even .50 AE from a Desert Eagle failed to breach the wall. Rifle calibers including 5.56 NATO, 12 Gauge Slug, and .308 Win from an FN SCAR also proved insufficient. However, the .50 BMG sniper rifle round easily penetrated the wall, demonstrating its extreme power.

This video tests the bullet-stopping capability of a 25-foot streetlight pole against various calibers. Lower calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, and .44 Magnum caused dents but failed to penetrate. The .50 AE and 12-gauge slug also failed to penetrate, creating significant damage. However, a .308 Win and a .50 BMG round easily penetrated the pole, demonstrating the significant difference in power between handgun/shotgun rounds and high-powered rifle rounds.

This video tests the penetration power of various calibers through paper, ranging from .22 LR to a .50 BMG sniper rifle. Key findings include the .50 BMG penetrating over 3,000 sheets, while a 9mm round stopped at 500 sheets. The .44 Magnum surprisingly penetrated fewer sheets than the 9mm, possibly due to bullet expansion. The .223 Remington from an AR-15 demonstrated significant penetration, exceeding 2,000 sheets.

The Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 offers excellent value for its $400 price point, featuring First Focal Plane (FFP) capability and a usable EBR-2C reticle. While it shows some chromatic aberration and has slightly mushy turrets compared to higher-end models, its tracking accuracy is comparable to the more expensive Strike Eagle. It's a strong contender for budget-conscious long-range shooters, though FFP might be less ideal for hunting than SFP.
