This video tests the penetration capabilities of various bows and a high-power crossbow against a one-inch thick, three-layer bulletproof glass. A traditional recurve bow's arrow bounced off, while a compound bow only chipped the glass, smashing its tip. The TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow, despite its 470 fps velocity and 191 ft-lbs of energy, also failed to penetrate, crushing its aluminum arrow tip.

The TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow is showcased as the fastest commercially available model, boasting 470 FPS and 191 ft-lbs of kinetic energy. A dramatic test demonstrated its power by completely penetrating a cast iron skillet with a single bolt. In contrast, a 45-pound traditional recurve bow could barely mark the same skillet, emphasizing the Nitro XRT's superior performance.

This test evaluates the penetration capabilities of an Excalibur crossbow against DFNDR Armor Level 3A body armor. Both a practice armor-piercing tip and a 100-grain broadhead successfully penetrated the armor and a ballistic mannequin, indicating the crossbow's significant power. The broadhead blades sustained damage but achieved lethal penetration.

This video compares the lethality and noise of a TenPoint Titan 400 crossbow against a suppressed 8.6 Blackout rifle. Both were found to be equally quiet at approximately 73-75 decibels. However, the 8.6 BLK rounds, particularly expanding and fracturing types, demonstrated significantly greater energy transfer and wound cavity creation in ballistic gel tests compared to crossbow broadheads.

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.
