This review showcases the Sako 85 XL Safari Rifle chambered in the formidable 416 Rigby caliber, also known as '416 Honey Badger'. The video demonstrates the rifle's power by firing a 350-grain hot core round at a target, highlighting significant recoil and destructive impact. The presenter, from Kentucky Ballistics, exhibits experienced handling and provides insights into the cartridge's capabilities.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features an extreme ballistic test pitting a massive 4 Bore rifle against a Russian VANT ballistic shield. The shield, designed to stop heavy threats, faces a barrage of calibers from handguns to powerful safari rounds and ultimately the 4 Bore. The test provides valuable insights into the limitations of ballistic armor against specialized, high-energy rifle cartridges.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various extreme-caliber firearms against a 1,500-pound Lefebure bank vault door. While some powerful rounds like the 375 H&H and 416 Rigby penetrated, others like the 458 Lott, 500 Nitro Express, 700 Nitro Express, and the massive 4 Bore rifle failed to fully breach the door, highlighting the door's robust construction. A 577 Tyrannosaur round successfully penetrated, demonstrating its extreme power.

This video showcases the immense power of extreme caliber rifles against simulated grizzly bear threats. It features the CZ 550 in .416 Rigby, the rare A-Square .577 Tyrannosaur, the .600 Overkill, and the .700 BMG, culminating in a test of the colossal 4 Bore rifle. The 4 Bore, firing a 2150-grain projectile, demonstrates over 10,000 ft-lbs of energy and significant penetration, highlighting its extreme capabilities.

This video tests the stopping power of several large-caliber safari rifles, including the 700 Nitro Express, 600 Nitro Express, .577 Tyrannosaur, 500 Nitro Express, and 416 Rigby, by shooting giant gummy bears. The 700 Nitro Express penetrated 9 gummy bears, the 600 Nitro Express and .577 Tyrannosaur penetrated 12, and the 500 Nitro Express also penetrated around 12. The 416 Rigby was the most accurate, staying on track and penetrating 15 gummy bears.

This video tests the .577 Tyrannosaur rifle against Level 4 body armor. While some rounds were stopped, the energy transfer was extreme, causing significant damage to the armor and backface deformation. Round-nose solids proved most effective at penetration.

This video details a catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG, which exploded due to extreme pressure exceeding 85,000 PSI. The incident resulted in severe injuries to the shooter, Scott, including a broken orbital bone, nose, lacerated jugular vein, and punctured lung. The analysis points to the breech cap shearing off its threads as the failure point, highlighting the dangers of exceeding firearm pressure limits.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics puts the Desert Eagle Mark XIX through a series of extreme environmental torture tests. The firearm demonstrates impressive initial resilience, functioning perfectly after water submersion and snow exposure. However, it encounters significant malfunctions when subjected to mud and sand, highlighting potential failure points in extreme conditions. The test is conducted by Scott, a recognized authority in destructive firearm testing.

This video features a series of extreme caliber tests using a zombie torso dummy. The .700 Nitro Express is tested with a 1000-grain soft point round, followed by .600, .500, and .470 Nitro Express calibers. Additional tests include the .460 Weatherby Magnum and .500 Jeffery, showcasing the immense power and recoil of these large-bore firearms.

This Liberty Safe National Classic Select underwent extreme torture tests, including a flamethrower fire simulation and ballistic impacts. While it withstood .45 ACP, .50 AE, .500 S&W Magnum, and .450 Marlin rounds, a .308 Win round penetrated, and .50 BMG rounds easily breached the safe. Despite significant damage, the safe's frame remained intact against mechanical force.
