How many Donuts Does it take?

This video conducts a velocity test comparing the Byrna LE and Byrna CL non-lethal devices. It aims to provide a direct comparison of their performance in terms of projectile speed, which is a key metric for these less-lethal alternatives. The comparison focuses on demonstrating the differences between the two models, likely for potential buyers or those interested in less-lethal self-defense options.

The Umarex TR50 .50 caliber CO2 revolver is presented as a viable less-lethal option for home defense, particularly in restrictive jurisdictions. Testing shows it achieves velocities up to 460 FPS with polymer balls and can deliver significant impact energy with specialized rounds like Devastators, causing substantial pain and potential incapacitation. While not a lethal firearm, its power and versatility with various ammunition types make it a serious deterrent.

This video features a comparison between a less-lethal Walther PPQ and a TV, likely demonstrating the capabilities or limitations of the less-lethal option in a controlled or simulated scenario. The title suggests an evaluation of the Walther PPQ's effectiveness, potentially in comparison to a common household item like a television, implying a focus on the device's power or impact.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the potential of custom 12-gauge airsoft shells loaded with BBs, provided by Hickory Flatboards. Expertly demonstrating with a Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol, the presenter conducts range and ballistic gelatin tests. The findings suggest these shells, while capable of causing welts, are unlikely to be deadly, positioning them as a potential less-lethal option for pest control or deterring threats.

The Grimburg Gavle is a CO2-powered less-lethal pistol offering a powerful alternative for self-defense where lethal force is not required or permissible. It fires kinetic projectiles capable of penetrating targets like metal cans and ceramic tiles, and also accommodates irritant pepper balls. The pistol features a 5-round internal magazine and is available in configurations with optics and lights.

This guide details the operation of the iconic Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun, highlighting its unique dual-mode system. It covers loading procedures and how to switch between semi-automatic and pump-action modes, crucial for different ammunition types. The guide also touches on the utility of the folding stock hook for one-handed firing. Expert instruction from Scott of Kentucky Ballistics emphasizes safe handling and mode selection.

This video tests how many cast iron skillets are needed to stop various bullets, from .22 LR to 500 S&W Magnum. Most common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by two skillets. Rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm also require two to three skillets, while the powerful 500 S&W Magnum penetrates three and is stopped by the fourth. The .22 LR failed to penetrate even the first skillet.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50A, against a section of railroad track. Various .50 caliber rounds, including Raufoss Mk 211 API and silver tip API, were fired. While the rifle and ammunition demonstrated the ability to penetrate even the thickest parts of the rail (over 1.5 inches), bullet deflection and shifting upon impact with the dense steel were observed.

This video demonstrates launching an M67 fragmentation grenade using an X Products Can Cannon towards a distant frozen lake. The Can Cannon, firing .223 blanks, successfully propels the grenade, which detonates upon impact, creating a visible hole in the ice. The experiment highlights the launcher's capability for extreme projectile delivery in challenging outdoor conditions.

This video tests the destructive power of a .50 caliber spotter round against 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass, comparing it to a standard FMJ round. The spotter round, designed to spark and flash, created a larger crater and more surface damage than the FMJ round, demonstrating its specialized impact characteristics. The Serbu BFG-50A rifle was used for both tests.
