500 Magnum Shotgun Shells ???

This video showcases a ballistics test comparing the penetration power of several high-caliber firearms, including revolvers like the Magnum Research BFR, Taurus Raging Hunter, and Smith & Wesson Model 500, against a stack of pumpkins. It also features a Serbu BFG-50A .50 BMG rifle and concludes with an M67 grenade detonation. The expert analysis highlights differences in terminal ballistics based on caliber and ammunition type, demonstrating significant energy dump and penetration capabilities.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian tests the ballistic resistance of a Boeing 777 black box against various firearms. The black box demonstrates remarkable durability, with most rounds failing to penetrate its internal armored core. The .45-70 Government cartridge with specialized penetrator rounds proved most effective at compromising the internal storage area.

Edwin Sarkissian, known for destructive testing, experimentally pits various firearms against F-35 jet engine turbine blades. The video demonstrates that while smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm have no effect, higher-powered rounds and specific ammunition types show varying degrees of success. Armor-piercing 5.7x28mm, 7.62x54R, and 5.56 NATO rounds penetrate, while .44 Magnum and .50 AE cause shattering or chipping due to the blade's brittle nature. The AK-47's 7.62x39mm is less effective than 5.56 NATO, and a 12 Gauge slug shatters the blade through blunt force.

This video from Garand Thumb, featuring guests from Kentucky Ballistics and Demolition Ranch, conducts a mock scientific experiment testing the terminal ballistics of .50 BMG and .500 S&W Magnum rounds against realistic human head analogs. The expert-level demonstration highlights the devastating effects of these large caliber rounds, emphasizing catastrophic failure on impact and debunking the myth of lethal shockwaves from near misses. The content underscores the immense power of these firearms and concludes with a strong recommendation for professional firearms training.

This video explores why revolvers face criticism despite their historical importance and unique advantages. The host, an experienced shooter, objectively discusses the pros (powerful calibers, reliability, contact shot capability) and cons (limited capacity, bulk, trigger pull) of revolvers compared to semi-automatics. It includes a compelling ballistics test comparing penetration of various calibers through cast iron skillets.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-profile firearms influencer, conducting an experimental test of various firearm calibers against a line of circular saw blades. The experiment progresses from .22 LR to .50 BMG, demonstrating the increasing penetration power of larger calibers. Sarkissian's high-energy, practical approach provides clear insights into the ballistic performance of each round in a unique, destructive test scenario.

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.
