.454 Casull vs Concrete Blocks

This guide details a comprehensive ballistic gel testing procedure to evaluate the actual power and effectiveness of snub nose revolvers compared to their longer-barreled counterparts. The experiment, led by Kentucky Ballistics, utilizes various powerful handgun calibers and standardized testing methods to provide data-driven insights into penetration and expansion. The results challenge common assumptions about snub nose revolver performance, particularly in heavier calibers where reduced velocity can sometimes lead to deeper penetration due to less bullet expansion.

This video showcases an in-depth test of a heavily customized Marlin 1895 GBL chambered in 45-70 Government. Expert firearms instructor Nick from PewView demonstrates the rifle's formidable stopping power through a series of rigorous penetration tests against various materials, including concrete, metal, and wood, culminating in a dramatic test on a ballistic dummy. The assessment highlights the effectiveness of the 45-70 cartridge and the quality of the aftermarket components used in the build.

Edwin Sarkissian, a high-authority firearms influencer, conducts an experimental penetration test comparing 9mm Luger and .380 ACP rounds against 24-gauge sheet metal. The test utilizes a Glock 43 (9mm) with Hornady 135gr hollow points and a Glock 42 (.380 ACP) with Underwood 90gr rounds. The 9mm penetrated eight sheets, while the .380 ACP penetrated six, demonstrating the 9mm's superior penetration in this specific test scenario.

Boondock Ballistician critically analyzes claims of 'record-breaking' 5.56mm ammunition, particularly from Shell Tech and Badlands Munitions. The expert instructor debunks inflated velocity and pressure figures, emphasizing the dangers of misinformation for reloaders and highlighting that standard brass-cased ammunition can achieve similar velocities within safe pressure limits.

This video provides an expert-level overview of six of the most accurate and deadly long-range precision calibers for 2026, as presented by Ted from Line45. It delves into the technical specifications, ballistic performance, and comparative advantages of calibers like the 6.8 Western, 300 PRC, 6.5 PRC, 7mm PRC, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 338 Lapua Magnum. The content is rich with specific data on bullet drop, wind drift, energy retention, and accuracy metrics, positioning it as a valuable resource for serious long-range shooters.

This video provides a brief overview of assembling a WOOX sniper rifle, including attaching the barrel, suppressor, and scope. It also demonstrates loading Hornady Match ammunition and firing the rifle on an outdoor range. The content is presented in a casual, hobbyist tone, offering a glimpse into the rifle's setup and use.

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 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.

This video features a high-energy, experimental review by Scott, a high-authority firearms and gear reviewer, testing the Liberty Safe National Classic Select. The safe undergoes extreme fire and ballistic tests, demonstrating impressive resistance to handgun rounds and fire but ultimately succumbing to .50 BMG and significant mechanical force. The review highlights the safe's robust construction and effective fire seals.
