500 MAGNUM & 357 MAGNUM VS ARMOR

Edwin Sarkissian, a high-profile firearms content creator, demonstrates a systematic experiment testing the drywall penetration capabilities of various calibers. The video showcases the performance of .50 BMG, 9mm, .50 AE, .458 SOCOM, and .500 S&W Magnum rounds against 96 sheets of 1/2-inch drywall, providing valuable ballistics data.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian conducting an experimental ballistic test, determining how many cast iron skillets it takes to stop a .500 Magnum and an AK-47 round. The test reveals that both powerful rounds were stopped by the third skillet, offering a unique insight into projectile energy versus material resistance. The demonstration highlights the impressive penetration capabilities of the .500 S&W Magnum and the 7.62x39mm round when faced with a dense, albeit unconventional, barrier.

This video from 704 Tactical demonstrates the ballistic resistance of a Guard Dog Armor helmet against a powerful Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum revolver. While the helmet stopped the projectile, significant backface deformation occurred, highlighting the extreme forces involved in such impacts. The test also implicitly compares the .500 Magnum's power to a previously tested .44 Magnum round.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms instructor, conducting a unique bullet penetration test. He uses 12 Ozark Trail 12-inch cast iron skillets to determine how many rounds from various calibers and firearms, including 9mm, .45 ACP, 500 S&W Magnum, 7.62x39mm, 5.56mm, 5.7x28mm, and 12 Gauge slugs, can penetrate the cookware. The results offer practical insights into the ballistic performance of different ammunition types against a common household item.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian provides an expert-level demonstration of the Serbu BFG-50A rifle's capability against a railroad track. Sarkissian, a high-level firearms enthusiast, showcases the .50 BMG caliber's power with various ammunition types, including the specialized Raufoss Mk 211 Mod 0, highlighting its penetration through thick steel. The content offers valuable insights into terminal ballistics and the performance of heavy caliber rounds.

This video demonstrates a unique application of the X Products Can Cannon, a gas-operated launcher compatible with AR-15/M16 lowers, to launch an M67-style fragmentation grenade using .223 Blanks. Expert experimentalist Edwin Sarkissian showcases the process of loading and firing the device towards a frozen lake, highlighting the launcher's ability to hold the grenade's spoon in place until firing. The demonstration results in a significant explosion and ice shatter upon impact.

This guide details a ballistic test comparing a .50 Cal Spotter round against a 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass panel using a Serbu BFG-50A rifle. The test, conducted by firearms enthusiast Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates the significant destructive potential of specialized .50 BMG ammunition, highlighting differences in impact effects between incendiary spotter rounds and standard FMJ rounds. The expert-level demonstration emphasizes the importance of understanding ammunition types and their performance against protective materials.
