How Powerful is a 50cal Muzzle Blast?! (vs Zombie HEAD)

This "Redneck Science" video from Mrgunsngear pits the formidable .50 BMG round fired from a Barrett M107A1 against a ballistic helmet. The description highlights the intent to test the penetration capabilities of the large caliber round on protective gear, aligning with the channel's practical, albeit sometimes unconventional, approach to firearm testing. Social media and affiliate links are provided, along with a standard disclaimer emphasizing safety and responsible firearm handling.

This video features Jerry Miculek reviewing and shooting the Barrett M107 .50 caliber sniper rifle. The review includes testing of various ammunition types, such as incendiary, armor-piercing, tracer, and Hornady A-MAX Match rounds. Additionally, the video incorporates the use of exploding targets. The firearm is identified as a semi-automatic Barrett M107 (updated M82) and the scope used is the Vortex Razor HD Gen II. The description also highlights support from Freedom Munitions and mentions Lena Miculek.

This video reviews the Daycraft Systems .50 Cal Chain Gun, presented as a modern replacement for the iconic Ma Duece M2 heavy machine gun. The reviewer highlights its ability to use the same ammunition and barrel-swapping system as the M2, while significantly reducing recoil due to its electric chain-driven mechanism. This lower recoil allows for potential mounting on smaller platforms like drones. The review also touches upon the civilian accessibility limitations due to the ATF but emphasizes its potential for military modernization. The video features range footage and discusses the importance of the Ma Deuce and its potential successors, with acknowledgments to patrons and sponsors.

This video rigorously tests the self-defense capabilities of various airguns against a realistic human head ballistic target. The expert instructor demonstrates that low-power BB guns like the Daisy Red Rider offer minimal threat, while even full-auto CO2 BB guns fail to penetrate the skull. However, a high-velocity Gamo pellet rifle proves capable of causing significant damage, cracking the skull. The instructor concludes that BB guns are unsuitable for self-defense, and while pellet rifles are dangerous, they lack the immediate stopping power of conventional firearms.

This video tests the BulletSafe VP3 Level IIIA vest against various calibers up to .44 Magnum using a realistic human torso dummy. While the vest stopped all tested rounds, including a .44 Magnum and 12-gauge buckshot, significant backface deformation and blunt force trauma were evident, especially with higher-energy rounds. The dummy's shoulder blade was broken by buckshot, and severe bruising was indicated by the .44 Magnum impact.

This review of the Crosman DPMS SBR full-auto BB gun highlights its realistic AR-15 SBR aesthetics and select-fire capability. The host demonstrates its operation, including loading with a speedloader and the dual CO2 power system. Performance metrics like 1400 RPM and 430 FPS are discussed, along with its accuracy and destructive potential on targets like watermelons. The device is recommended for realistic training or plinking where live firearms are impractical.

This video tests the effectiveness and dangers of using a flare gun for self-defense. While a flare gun can ignite materials and cause internal damage to a ballistic torso, its single-shot capacity, slow reload, and high risk of starting fires make it an irresponsible and dangerous choice for defense. The test highlights the unpredictable nature and significant fire hazard associated with using flare guns in a defensive scenario.
