Modern Cheese Vs German Mouser

This video provides a practical demonstration of the Mauser C96 Broomhandle pistol. It covers loading the 10-round internal magazine using a stripper clip, highlights historical markings, and showcases the tangent rear sight. The demonstration includes live fire on an outdoor range, offering insights into the pistol's operation and accuracy with 7.63 Mauser ammunition.

This review of the Mauser C96 Modello 1899, specifically an early Italian contract variant, highlights its historical significance and unique design. The firearm weighs 2.5 pounds with an 11.75-inch length, chambered in 7.63x25mm Mauser. While its 'broomhandle' grip and front-heavy balance make it ergonomically challenging as a handgun, attaching a shoulder stock transforms it into a more effective carbine, improving handling and recoil management. The trigger pull is long but clean, and the safety is stiff.

This video compares the penetration capabilities of a WWI-era Mauser C96 in 7.63x25mm Mauser against a modern Glock 19X in 9mm Luger. Both firearms were tested against sheet metal and blocks of cheddar cheese. Surprisingly, both calibers demonstrated similar penetration depths in the cheese, with the 9mm slightly outperforming the 7.63x25mm in the sheet metal test.

This video showcases the historical Mauser C96 pistol, also known as the 'Broomhandle', in a live-fire demonstration. The test focuses on its performance against steel plates, highlighting the 7.63x25mm caliber's effectiveness and the firearm's cycling capabilities. The demonstration emphasizes the C96's accuracy and handling characteristics, offering insights into its historical military application.

This video provides a detailed comparison between the Mauser C96 Broomhandle and the Luger P08. It highlights their distinct loading mechanisms, with the C96 using a stripper clip for its internal magazine and the Luger employing a detachable box magazine. The review showcases the firing characteristics of both iconic German pistols, emphasizing their historical significance and unique operational differences.

This review focuses on the Mauser C96 'Broomhandle' pistol in 7.63x25mm Mauser. It details the visual inspection of receiver markings and the unique grip, demonstrates action manipulation including the safety, and shows the loading process using a 10-round stripper clip into the internal magazine. Live fire testing at an outdoor range highlights the recoil and cycling characteristics of this historical semi-automatic handgun.

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.
