4 BORE Rifle vs Body Armor (The Biggest Rifle Ever !!!)

This review of the 4 Bore rifle by Kentucky Ballistics showcases its immense power and size. The rifle, manufactured by Christian Firearms, fires a 2,150-grain, 1-inch diameter bullet, delivering approximately 200 lbs of felt recoil. Expertly demonstrated, its destructive capability is tested against AR500 steel, cinder blocks, and water jugs, highlighting its status as one of the largest shoulder-fired rifles ever made.

This video showcases an extreme ballistics test where a 10-inch crystal ball is subjected to a wide range of calibers, culminating in the immense power of a 4 Bore rifle. The test demonstrates the destructive capabilities of various firearms, from handguns to large-bore rifles, highlighting the significant energy transfer required to shatter such a dense object. The presenter, Scott, exhibits high-level firearms expertise and a humorous approach to extreme testing.

This video tests a custom 2-bore blunderbuss, 'The Mule,' against a ballistic grizzly bear head. Different loads, including cornflake shot, birdshot, double-aught buckshot, and a half-pound lead ball, are fired. The half-pound lead ball proved devastatingly effective, passing completely through the target.

This video demonstrates the destructive power of a 4 bore rifle against a bulletproof mask. The massive round completely obliterates the mask and causes severe trauma to the ballistic dummy, highlighting that even advanced armor may not prevent fatal injury from extreme calibers. The recovered projectile shows imprints from the mask's fibers.

This video tests the extreme capabilities of a 4 Bore rifle against a Russian Altyn titanium helmet. While the helmet effectively stops handgun rounds like .22 Magnum, 9mm, and even .44 Magnum (with significant damage), it is completely destroyed by the 4 Bore rifle. The test highlights the vast difference in terminal ballistics between common handgun calibers and extreme big-bore rifle cartridges.

This video tests the effectiveness of the .50 Beowulf cartridge using a ballistic dummy head. The .50 Beowulf, designed for defeating barriers, demonstrated extreme energy transfer, completely vaporizing organic targets and causing catastrophic failure of the ballistic dummy. High-speed footage revealed significant bone fragmentation and projectile penetration through the dummy and backstop.

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.
