M80A1 vs Steel: Most Extreme 308 Bullet Available

This video tests the durability of Exodus Line steel targets against AP (Armor Piercing) ammunition, specifically M80A1 and M855A1 rounds. The description emphasizes that the AR550 steel targets are resistant to these rounds, though it strongly advises against such testing. The video also promotes various target systems from TA Targets, including Exodus, A-DAP, and Genesis lines, with discount codes and special offers available.

This video tests the ballistic penetration of various calibers through paper, culminating in a .50 BMG sniper rifle. Surprisingly, the .44 Magnum penetrated fewer sheets than the 9mm. The .223 caliber AR-15 round demonstrated significant penetration, stopping at 2,166 sheets, while the .50 BMG required 3,187 sheets to stop.

This YouTube video title, 'Is THIS Cartridge BEST???', strongly suggests a comparative review or discussion centered around firearm cartridges. The content likely aims to evaluate different ammunition types to determine superiority for various applications. Given the title's interrogative nature and emphasis on 'BEST', expect analysis of performance, ballistics, and potentially cost-effectiveness. The video is geared towards firearm enthusiasts interested in cartridge selection for shooting, self-defense, or hunting.

This video showcases the initial live-fire testing of a unique custom firearm build: an Icon Marketing Group (IMG) 12-gauge upper receiver paired with a Palmetto State Armory (PSA) .308 lower receiver, featuring a Grey Market Research Super Safety. The builder, Jordan from PoorBoy Arms, demonstrates the process of testing various 12-gauge ammunition types, including birdshot and different velocity shells, while noting necessary modifications and potential cycling issues. The build is ultimately deemed a success despite minor ammunition-related malfunctions.

This YouTube video poses a direct question about the penetration capabilities of a .308 caliber round through concrete. While the description is brief, the title clearly indicates a test or demonstration related to firearm performance against a specific material. The video likely explores ballistic data, potentially involving live-fire tests, to answer this question, appealing to firearm enthusiasts interested in the power and limitations of rifle calibers.

This video tests the effectiveness of the .308 Winchester cartridge when fired from a short-barreled firearm, specifically the JAKL 12.5. The test extends to 600 yards, aiming to demonstrate the capability of this caliber in a more compact platform. The content encourages viewer engagement by asking for opinions on the practicality of short-barreled .308 for various applications.

This comparison tests the .50 AE Desert Eagle against the .44 Magnum in various barrier tests, including wood, steel, sand, and concrete. While both calibers showed impressive power, the .50 AE demonstrated superior performance in ballistic gel with deeper penetration and a larger wound channel. Ultimately, the video questions if the .50 AE's marginal gains justify its significantly higher cost per round compared to the versatile .44 Magnum.

This video provides a detailed comparison between .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition, demonstrating their performance differences through rigorous barrier testing. While visually identical, 5.56 NATO shows a slight advantage in velocity and energy. Crucially, 5.56 NATO exhibits superior barrier penetration against lumber and steel, whereas .223 Remington struggles. Specialized rounds like M855A1 also show enhanced performance against sand barriers.

This video tests the lethality of various 'less lethal' shotgun rounds, including rubber buckshot, bean bags, and specialized projectiles. The .410 rubber buckshot demonstrated significantly higher velocity and penetration than 12-gauge versions. Bean bag rounds proved to be the most damaging, causing substantial plywood destruction and ballistic gel displacement, leading the host to conclude they are the most lethal 'less lethal' option.

This video compares 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP through various barrier tests including lumber, sand, and concrete, alongside ballistics gel testing. While all calibers performed similarly through most barriers, the .40 S&W showed slightly better penetration and expansion in ballistics gel. The host ultimately favors 9mm due to its lower recoil and higher capacity, despite the .40 S&W's respectable performance.
