This video from DemolitionRanch features an extensive ballistic test using over 300 lbs of butter as a medium to evaluate the penetration and terminal performance of various firearms and calibers. The host, Matt Carriker, demonstrates the effectiveness of rounds ranging from .25 Auto to .50 BMG, comparing short-barreled handguns against rifle platforms like the AK-47. The tests highlight differences in velocity, bullet construction, and barrel length impact on terminal ballistics.

Quick Summary

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms were tested against 300lbs of butter?

The video tested a variety of firearms including a .25 Auto pistol, a Luger P08 (9mm Luger), a 1911 (.45 ACP), a Heizer PS1 (.410 bore and .45 Long Colt), a Heizer PAR1 (.223 Remington), a Heizer PAK1 (7.62x39mm), an AK-47 (7.62x39mm), a .500 Magnum revolver, and a .50 BMG rifle.

How did the 7.62x39mm round perform from a short barrel versus a rifle?

When fired from the short-barreled Heizer PAK1, the 7.62x39mm round tumbled and stopped in the second butter block. From a full-length AK-47 barrel, the same round created a larger temporary cavity due to increased velocity but also stopped within the second block after hitting a table.

What was the penetration of the .50 BMG round in butter?

The .50 BMG Blue Tip round, which included an incendiary component, was the most powerful tested. It destroyed the first two blocks of butter, with the incendiary tip detonating, and finally came to rest in the fourth block.

Did any firearms malfunction during the butter ballistic tests?

Yes, the Heizer PAR1 pistol experienced a jam after firing the .223 Remington round, requiring manual force to open. This suggests potential issues with the short barrel configuration and that specific ammunition.
