50cal SLAP Round in a Serbu vs THICCCEST Body Armor

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Soviet-era hammer against various calibers. While smaller rounds like .22 LR caused minimal damage, larger calibers like 9mm, 7.62x39mm, .223 Remington, and .308 Winchester inflicted progressively more damage, with the .308 ultimately causing significant structural failure to the hammer's handle.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics tests the ballistic resistance of a helicopter against various calibers and projectiles, including 10mm, 300 Win Mag, 37mm flashbang, 50 AE, 277 Fury, 10 Gauge bird and buck shot, 50 BMG, crossbow bolts, 44 Magnum, 45 ACP, and 45-70 Auto. The experiment aims to determine how bulletproof a helicopter truly is, demonstrating significant penetration and destruction with larger calibers and high-energy rounds. The video also includes a segment where the helicopter is dropped from a crane to simulate a crash, showcasing its structural failure.

This video showcases the impressive durability of budget-friendly PowerTac weapon lights, specifically highlighting their performance under extreme conditions like high-round counts and concussion from muzzle brakes. The lights remained fully functional on both a Baker rifle and a Big Horn Armory 500 Auto Max, demonstrating excellent value and reliability for everyday carry (EDC) setups.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of a 100-pound kettlebell against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The kettlebell demonstrates significant durability, stopping smaller rounds with minor marks and deflecting handgun rounds. High-power rifle rounds like 5.56mm NATO and .308 Winchester create divots and holes but do not penetrate fully. The .50 BMG round, however, causes significant damage, entering and exiting the kettlebell. The expert assessment highlights the experienced handling of firearms and knowledge of ammunition types.

This expert guide from Kentucky Ballistics details techniques for managing the recoil of the unique Thompson Auto Ordnance 50 BMG rifle. It covers grip, stance, and the importance of the bolt-action's smooth operation, highlighting the effectiveness of its large muzzle brake. The video also features advanced ballistic and body armor testing, showcasing the immense power of .50 BMG ammunition.

This video tests the bullet resistance of a Soviet-era hammer against various calibers of ammunition, from birdshot to .50 BMG. The hammer's head showed minimal damage from smaller calibers, with paint chips and small craters, but was significantly penetrated and damaged by larger rounds like 7.62x39mm and .308 Winchester.

This video from DemolitionRanch, hosted by Matt Carriker, explores the capabilities of high-powered, regulated air rifles like the AirForce Texan SS and Sam Yang Dragon Claw. Carriker demonstrates their impressive power, accuracy, and surprisingly quiet operation due to integrated suppressors, highlighting a legal loophole where these airguns and their suppressors are not subject to NFA regulations. The content showcases ballistics testing and comparisons, emphasizing the expert knowledge of the host in firearms and related legalities.

This video features Nicholas Irving, a former Special Operations sniper, demonstrating and discussing various high-powered firearms. Irving, author of 'Way of the Reaper,' shares insights on sniper rifles like the Barrett M107A1 and SR-25, discusses the recoil of the S&W 500 Magnum, and tests the penetration capabilities of different calibers against an engine block. The content highlights practical applications and the effectiveness of these weapons in tactical scenarios.

This video demonstrates the dangerous consequences of firing incorrect ammunition calibers in firearms. Experienced instructor Matt Carriker shows how .380 ACP in a 9mm firearm and 9mm in a .40 S&W firearm can lead to cycling failures and severe brass deformation due to improper headspacing. The experiment highlights the critical importance of using the correct ammunition for each firearm to ensure safe operation and prevent damage.

This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring firearms expert Matt Carriker, tests the ballistic resistance of Flex Tape when used as improvised body armor. The experiment involves layering Flex Tape onto cardboard and testing its effectiveness against .22 LR, 5.7x28mm (FN PS90), and 9mm (CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1) rounds. The results demonstrate that even extensive layering of Flex Tape is insufficient to stop common firearm calibers, highlighting the importance of proper ballistic materials.
