Guns vs Barbell Weight

This experiment tests the bullet-stopping power of Lego baseplates against various calibers. A .22 LR was stopped by 27 sheets, a 9mm by 46, and a .44 Magnum by 77. A .223 round from an AR-15 penetrated 88 sheets, while a .50 BMG round went through all 100 sheets, destroying the target dummy.

This medieval pig face helmet surprisingly withstands handgun calibers up to 9mm, with rounds deflecting off its angled surface. However, it is easily penetrated by rifle rounds like 5.56 NATO and 7.62x39mm. While it offers no protection against direct hits to the eye slits from birdshot, the helmet's geometry is key to its ballistic resistance against pistol rounds.

This video tests the limits of Level IIIA bulletproof masks against extreme firearms, including a 50 BMG pistol and a double-barrel 1911. While the masks stop projectiles from most handguns and shotguns, significant energy transfer causes severe damage to ballistic dummies, highlighting the difference between penetration and survivability. The 50 BMG round, though stopped, completely destroys the mask and dummy.

This video tests the functionality and durability of various firearms when fired underwater. While smaller calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP function with reduced recoil and some bullet deformation, larger calibers and rifles experience significant issues. The 12-gauge shotgun had primer issues and a broken forearm, the 5.56 AR-15 suffered catastrophic failure, the 7.62x39 AK-47 survived with its top cover blown off, and the .50 BMG caused a pool to rupture.

This YouTube video title, "Papel Higiênico Molhado é à Prova de Bala?" (Is Wet Toilet Paper Bulletproof?), directly poses a question about the ballistic resistance of a common household item. Given the nature of firearms content, this likely involves testing the ability of wet toilet paper to stop or significantly slow down projectiles from firearms, potentially exploring its effectiveness as improvised ballistic protection.

This YouTube Short appears to be a ballistic test video, specifically investigating whether farm discs are bulletproof. The title "Are Farm Discs Bulletproof? #shortsvideo" strongly suggests a test involving firearms and ammunition being fired at agricultural discs to observe penetration or stopping power. The hashtag indicates it's a short-form video format, likely featuring quick cuts and a clear demonstration.

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.
