5 Gallon Water Jug vs. Different Guns

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the penetration capabilities of various firearm calibers against a standard Steelcase filing cabinet. The host, demonstrating practical experience and proper firearm handling, shows how rounds from a .22 LR Ruger 10/22 up to a .44 Magnum Ruger Super Redhawk perform. The experiment highlights the significant difference in stopping power between smaller and larger calibers when encountering intermediate barriers.

This guide, informed by former CIA Officer Jason Hanson, outlines comprehensive strategies for preparing for civil unrest. It emphasizes self-reliance through robust water and food storage, appropriate gear selection including firearms and security systems, and the critical importance of community building over isolated survival. Hanson advocates for strategic relocation from urban centers and stresses that preparedness must be a long-term commitment.

This guide details six recommended firearms for preppers, emphasizing reliability and versatility for SHTF scenarios. It covers the Ruger 10/22 for .22LR versatility, the Glock 19 Gen 5 as a dependable 9mm pistol, the Henry Big Boy X lever-action for .357 Magnum power, the compact Kel-Tec SUB2000 folding carbine, the dual-barrel Chiappa Double Badger, and the Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 AR-15 for its accuracy and features. The video highlights specific features and calibers suitable for hunting and self-defense.

This video from Yee Yee Life demonstrates the ballistic resistance of a 1980s Kevlar military helmet against various calibers, including 9mm, .45 ACP, .44 Magnum, .223, and .450 Bushmaster. The testing, conducted by an experienced individual demonstrating proper range safety and providing specific ammunition details, shows the helmet stopping lower calibers but failing against rifle rounds like .223 and .450 Bushmaster.

This video demonstrates the durability of a Master Lock against various firearm calibers. The host, a firearms enthusiast, tests the lock with .22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, and a 12 Gauge slug. The results show that lower calibers have minimal effect, while the shotgun slug completely destroys the lock, providing practical insights into projectile energy transfer.

This video from Yee Yee Life demonstrates the bullet-stopping capabilities of Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid, against various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The experiment, conducted by an experienced host, shows how Oobleck's properties change under impact, effectively stopping smaller rounds but failing against high-powered rifle cartridges. The test highlights the significant difference in terminal ballistics between handgun and rifle rounds.

This video demonstrates the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. The test, conducted by an experienced individual, shows that while smaller calibers cause minimal damage, larger rounds like the .50 BMG API can penetrate the bucket. The footage provides visual evidence of impact effects and the destructive potential of different ammunition types.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an experienced host testing the ballistic penetration of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, in an Intex swimming pool. The host demonstrates proper firearm safety and provides detailed measurements of bullet penetration depths, offering unique insights into how different rounds interact with water as a medium. The results highlight significant variations in penetration based on caliber and velocity.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Secret Service Suburban window against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers and even a 10mm and .44 Magnum were stopped with varying degrees of damage, the window was eventually penetrated by a .50 BMG sniper rifle round. The testing provides a clear demonstration of the limits of armored vehicle glass against high-powered rifle threats.
