.454 Casull vs 16 lbs Bowling Ball

This Kentucky Ballistics video features a destructive test of concrete blocks using firearms. The demonstration begins with a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan chambered in .454 Casull, firing Hornady 240 gr. XTP MAG hollow points through multiple concrete blocks. Following this, DoubleTap 400 gr. hardcast ammunition is used to test penetration capabilities. The video concludes with a fun segment where a concrete deck block is repeatedly shot with DoubleTap hardcasts until it is destroyed.

This video demonstrates the severe danger of placing fingers in front of a revolver's cylinder gap, using a Taurus Raging Hunter in .454 Casull. High-pressure gases escaping the cylinder can cause catastrophic injury, as shown by a hot dog test. The host emphasizes firearm safety and explains the mechanics behind this hazard.

This video compares the ballistic performance of snub nose revolvers against their longer-barreled counterparts across several powerful calibers. Surprisingly, snub nose revolvers often achieved deeper penetration due to reduced bullet expansion at lower velocities, challenging common assumptions about barrel length and effectiveness. The tests utilized 10% ballistic gel to measure penetration and expansion.

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.
