This video details a 'redneck science' moondust durability test comparing a US-made PSA AK-47 to a previously tested Russian AK. The test protocol involves contaminating the firearm with simulated dust, firing it, and even intentionally dropping components into the dust before reassembly and further firing. The results suggest significant improvements in US-made AKs over the years, with the PSA AK performing comparably to its Russian counterpart in this harsh test.

Viewers are encouraged to consider their own preferences based on these factors.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of forklift forks against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG round. The experiment demonstrates that even thinner sections of forklift forks can withstand lower caliber rounds, while thicker sections and even the thinner parts prove highly resistant to higher calibers. The .50 BMG successfully penetrates the thinner sections but is stopped by approximately 1 inch of material, highlighting the forks' exceptional durability.
