Military Sandbag vs Higher and Higher Caliber Bullets

This video features a ballistic gelatin test comparing the performance of .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP handgun calibers. The test likely involves shooting various ammunition types into 20% ballistic gelatin to analyze bullet expansion, penetration, and terminal ballistics. The description lists essential gear used in the testing process, including steel targets, cameras, editing equipment, ballistic gelatin powder, scales, calipers, denim for simulating clothing, a range finder, shooting rests, and a chronograph.

This video features a ballistic test comparing the penetration capabilities of various pistol calibers against concrete blocks. The tested calibers include .30SC, 5.7x28mm, .357 SIG, 10mm Auto, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. The description also links to another video covering some of these calibers against different materials and provides affiliate links to shooting gear and accessories used in the video, such as steel targets, cameras, safety equipment, and reloading tools.

This video tests the bullet-stopping capability of a 25-foot streetlight pole against various calibers. Lower calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, and .44 Magnum caused dents but failed to penetrate. The .50 AE and 12-gauge slug also failed to penetrate, creating significant damage. However, a .308 Win and a .50 BMG round easily penetrated the pole, demonstrating the significant difference in power between handgun/shotgun rounds and high-powered rifle rounds.

This video tests the ballistic penetration of various firearms calibers through a 2500-gallon water tank. Results show that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG and 5.56 NATO fragment or deform significantly upon entering the water, failing to reach a target 6.5 feet away. Smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm are stopped with minimal deformation. Approximately 6.5 feet of water provides substantial protection against most common firearms.

This YouTube video presents a range test evaluating the penetration and bullet behavior of 9mm and .45 ACP ammunition when fired through a vehicle windshield. The test specifically examines the effects from both a direct and a 45-degree angle. The creator expresses gratitude to Trans Auto Glass for donating the windshield used in the experiment. The video also directs viewers to various playlists covering handgun reviews, long gun reviews, Second Amendment content, gear and accessory reviews, and other range tests.

This YouTube video performs a ballistic test by shooting various calibers of firearms through a car door and into ballistics gel. The experiment aims to demonstrate the penetration and performance of different ammunition types after passing through a common automotive barrier. The video also includes a call to action for channel support via Patreon and encourages likes and subscriptions. It mentions acquiring ballistics gel from clearballistics.com and provides an Instagram handle for the creator, 1Shot_TV.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. While smaller calibers and even .450 Bushmaster and .308 were stopped, the .50 caliber Armor Piercing Incendiary round successfully penetrated the bucket, destroying a dummy target behind it. The test highlights the significant difference in terminal effects between standard rifle rounds and specialized armor-piercing ammunition.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms rounds in a swimming pool, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. Surprisingly, higher velocity rifle rounds like the .223 and .308 fragmented quickly, while the .50 AE Desert Eagle traveled the furthest at 190 inches. The .50 BMG sniper rifle, despite its power, only penetrated 61 inches, likely due to massive energy displacement.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Secret Service Suburban window against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers and even a 10mm and .44 Magnum were stopped with varying degrees of damage, the window was eventually penetrated by a .50 BMG sniper rifle round. The testing provides a clear demonstration of the limits of armored vehicle glass against high-powered rifle threats.
