how much ice does it take to stop a bullet?

This video features a comparison between 9mm ammunition and a pumpkin. While the exact firearms are not specified, the title clearly indicates a test or demonstration involving 9mm caliber projectiles and a pumpkin as a target. The content likely explores the ballistics or impact of 9mm rounds on a pumpkin, offering a visual representation of the round's effect.

This review compares 9mm Dragon's Breath ammunition to traditional hollow points for self-defense. While visually striking with its incendiary effect, the Dragon's Breath is an FMJ round that over-penetrates and lacks expansion, making it inferior to hollow points which are designed to dump mass effectively. The video also promotes 945 Industries off-body carry bags.

This video tests the lethality of marbles when fired from firearms. It investigates whether standard ammunition can be substituted with or augmented by marbles in terms of terminal ballistics and potential for harm. The practical demonstration aims to answer the question of whether marbles are a viable or effective projectile in a firearm context, likely exploring various calibers and firearm types.

This video from Civilian Tactical introduces several unique 9mm ammunition types, including Dragon's Breath, Tracer rounds, exploding hollow points, and CCI Birdshot/Ratshot. The instructor, demonstrating a high level of expertise, explains the function and visual characteristics of each round, using ballistics gel to illustrate terminal effects. The content emphasizes understanding the specific applications and safety considerations for these specialized cartridges.

This review by Boondock Ballistician critically examines the G2 Research R.I.P. round, often dismissed as a gimmick. Through rigorous testing with ballistic gel and a Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC), the analysis reveals surprising barrier-blind performance and fragmentation potential, challenging common perceptions. The speaker, demonstrating high-level expertise, suggests design improvements for future iterations of this concept.

This video from Civilian Tactical reviews the incredibly volatile Havok Halo rounds from Hickory Flat Boars. The host demonstrates their high reactivity, showing a smoking crater in dirt and significant charring/melting in a ballistic gelatin test. A strong warning is issued about the fire hazard these rounds pose, especially in dry conditions, due to intense sparks and heat upon impact with hard targets. The host's expertise is evident in his handling and safety demonstrations.

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.
