454 Casull & 30-06 vs Maglite

This video provides a comprehensive, hands-on comparison of three classic military rifle cartridges: .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and 7.62x54R. The host, demonstrating high authority in ballistics, systematically tests their performance against various barriers including wood, steel, and concrete, and analyzes terminal ballistics like bullet tumbling. The .308 Winchester generally shows superior penetration and performance across most tests, especially against steel.

This video from Banana Ballistics provides a detailed comparison of the .308 Win, .30-06 Springfield, and .300 Win Mag calibers through various barrier tests. The host, demonstrating high authority and an analytical approach, uses a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph to record velocity data. Key findings include the .300 Win Mag's superior penetration against heavy steel, while the .308 Win shows remarkable efficiency.

This video from Banana Ballistics provides a detailed comparison of cartridges derived from the .30-06 Springfield case, including the .25-06 Remington, .270 Winchester, .280 Ackley Improved, and .35 Whelen. Through rigorous testing against various materials like lumber, steel, concrete, and sand, the host demonstrates the performance differences in terms of penetration and impact energy. The .35 Whelen emerges as the clear winner in penetration, while the .30-06 Springfield and its derivatives show varying degrees of effectiveness, offering valuable data for handloaders and shooters seeking optimal performance for specific applications.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the 30-06 Springfield cartridge's terminal ballistics, specifically in response to theories about an incident involving Charlie Kirk. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, uses a 1903 Springfield rifle and ballistics gel to illustrate the significant temporary wound cavity and penetration capabilities of FMJ ammunition. The testing includes impacts on bone and meat to simulate anatomical resistance, concluding that the observed damage is consistent with the round's power, while questioning the reported lack of an exit wound.

This video provides a comparative analysis between the Mosin Nagant and the M1 Garand, highlighting their operational differences, calibers, and historical contexts. The host, identified as a firearms enthusiast and content creator, offers insights into platform-specific quirks like the Mosin's bayonet and the M1 Garand's 'Garand Thumb' phenomenon. The M1 Garand is ultimately favored for its caliber and overall design.

This video conducts a rigorous ballistic test on affordable body armor panels, likely sourced from Temu. The instructor fires various handgun calibers, including .380 ACP, 9mm, .45 ACP, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, 5.7x28mm, and .454 Casull, at both soft and hard armor plates. The tests demonstrate the armor's ability to stop multiple rounds from lower-powered handguns, with some deformation but no penetration on hard armor. However, higher-powered rounds like the .454 Casull cause significant deformation and penetration on soft armor, highlighting the limitations of the tested material.

This video details a catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG, resulting in severe injuries to the shooter, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. The incident highlights extreme pressure events and the critical importance of firearm safety and immediate medical response. Scott's resilience and commitment to educating viewers despite his injuries are evident.

This video details a comprehensive torture test of the Desert Eagle Mark XIX, conducted by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. The firearm was subjected to extreme conditions including water submersion, snow burial, mud immersion, and sand burial. Despite some malfunctions in mud and sand, the Desert Eagle demonstrated notable resilience, functioning after water and snow exposure. The test highlights the firearm's robust construction and the importance of understanding its limitations under adverse conditions.

This video tests the myth of water being bulletproof by firing various firearms, from 9mm handguns to a .50 BMG rifle, into a water tank. Results show that even high-powered rounds like the .50 BMG are significantly slowed or stopped by water, failing to penetrate to the target. The tests demonstrate water's effectiveness in dissipating projectile energy.

This video features Scott from Kentucky Ballistics testing several of the world's largest caliber firearms against a realistic ballistic dummy torso. The expert demonstrates the destructive power of rounds like the .700 Nitro Express (1000 grain) and .600 Nitro Express (900 grain), showcasing detailed firearm engravings and unique actions like the Blaser R8 straight-pull bolt. The testing provides valuable insights into the performance of these extreme hunting calibers on simulated organic material.
