How Lethal Is A Harpoon Gun ???

This video provides an in-depth review and ballistic testing of an American Derringer chambered in .30-30 Winchester, a powerful rifle cartridge. Expert Scott from Kentucky Ballistics demonstrates the extreme recoil, penetration capabilities (and limitations due to barrel length), and effectiveness against various barriers and body armor. The review highlights the significant difference in performance compared to a standard lever-action rifle in the same caliber.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics showcases the immense power of a Christian Firearms 4 Bore rifle. Expertly demonstrating its capabilities, Scott compares its 2,150-grain projectile to a .50 BMG and tests its destructive force against ballistic dummies. The footage highlights the rifle's significant recoil and the devastating impact of its solid lead rounds.

This video tests the extreme power of the .458 Winchester Magnum elephant gun against a realistic ballistic dummy. It details the cartridge's impressive velocity (1,915 fps) and energy (4,200 ft-lbs) with a 500-grain projectile. The tests demonstrate catastrophic damage to simulated organs and bone structures, confirming its overkill for human targets but highlighting its immense terminal ballistics.

This video tests the lethal range of the .22 LR cartridge using a ballistic dummy. It demonstrates significant tissue damage and penetration at distances up to 400 yards, even through clothing. The conclusion is that the .22 LR remains lethal as far as it can be accurately aimed, approximately 450-500 yards with a precise rifle setup.

This video rigorously tests the lethality of modern crossbows using a realistic ballistic dummy. Various broadheads, including fixed-blade Muzzy Trocar and mechanical options like CenterPunch and Rage, are tested. The results demonstrate extreme penetration and significant wound channels, confirming the high lethality of these hunting tools, even in headshot scenarios.

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.
