How Lethal Is A Harpoon Gun ???

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features a detailed test of various firearms against a life-sized Velociraptor replica to determine what it would take to defeat one. Host Scott, alongside Chris from Ballistic Dummy Lab, tests handguns from .22LR up to .500 Magnum, shotguns including a Spas-12, and rifles ranging from .45-70 to a .4 Bore. The experiment provides insights into the stopping power required for different threats, with a focus on practical application and the effectiveness of various calibers against a simulated large predator.

This video showcases the 'Kraken,' a custom-built, seven-barrel Nock Volley Gun, demonstrating its capabilities and extreme recoil. The presenter, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, fires the weapon at various targets, including sodas, a ham, bulletproof glass, and body armor, detailing the significant recoil (340 lbs) and the weapon's destructive power. The video also touches upon the historical context of Nock Volley guns and the presenter's personal history with a severe firearm accident.

This video from Civilian Tactical tests the penetration capabilities of various firearm calibers when shot into a frozen lake. An experienced instructor demonstrates how a .22 Magnum had minimal effect, a .380 Auto and 9mm showed moderate penetration, a .45 ACP performed similarly to the 9mm, and a 7.62x39mm rifle round from an AK-47 created significant damage.

This video reviews the Tipman Ordinance Pirate Pistol, chambered in .380 ACP, highlighting its unique slam-fire capability and tube-fed design. The reviewer conducts extensive testing, including accuracy at a Texas Star, slam-fire demonstrations, suppressed shooting with an Otter Creek Milkman suppressor, and various ballistic tests against targets like milk, spam, sardines, windshields, bulletproof glass, cottage cheese, cocktail sauce, and pimento cheese. The pistol is noted for its fun factor and surprising effectiveness with certain ammunition types.

This video provides an expert comparison of the Gamo Swarm Magnum Pro Gen 3 air rifle across its .177, .22, and .25 caliber variants. The host, from Shooting Gear Reviews, conducts objective tests using a chronograph and standardized media (steel and clay) to evaluate performance. The .22 caliber emerges as the recommended choice for its balanced performance, capacity, and terminal effects in soft targets.

This video tests the performance of 1-karat diamond-tipped .45 ACP rounds fired from a 1911. The tests included a water jug penetration and a ballistics gelatin test. The diamond-tipped rounds, similar to FMJ, did not exhibit expansion and passed through both water jugs and the gelatin block cleanly, suggesting potential underperformance compared to traditional hollow points in this specific configuration. The presenter questions the effectiveness of .45 ACP hollow points in general based on these results.

This video details a catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG, resulting in severe injuries to the shooter, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. The incident highlights extreme pressure events and the critical importance of firearm safety and immediate medical response. Scott's resilience and commitment to educating viewers despite his injuries are evident.

This video details a comprehensive torture test of the Desert Eagle Mark XIX, conducted by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. The firearm was subjected to extreme conditions including water submersion, snow burial, mud immersion, and sand burial. Despite some malfunctions in mud and sand, the Desert Eagle demonstrated notable resilience, functioning after water and snow exposure. The test highlights the firearm's robust construction and the importance of understanding its limitations under adverse conditions.

This video tests the myth of water being bulletproof by firing various firearms, from 9mm handguns to a .50 BMG rifle, into a water tank. Results show that even high-powered rounds like the .50 BMG are significantly slowed or stopped by water, failing to penetrate to the target. The tests demonstrate water's effectiveness in dissipating projectile energy.

This video features Scott from Kentucky Ballistics testing several of the world's largest caliber firearms against a realistic ballistic dummy torso. The expert demonstrates the destructive power of rounds like the .700 Nitro Express (1000 grain) and .600 Nitro Express (900 grain), showcasing detailed firearm engravings and unique actions like the Blaser R8 straight-pull bolt. The testing provides valuable insights into the performance of these extreme hunting calibers on simulated organic material.
