AK-47 VS 500 MAGNUM VS FANTA

This video provides a data-driven comparison between the .308 Winchester and 7.62x39mm calibers, specifically testing their performance from short barrels (16 inches) out to 100 yards. The host, demonstrating high expertise with ballistics, uses a LabRadar chronograph to collect precise velocity and energy data, concluding that the .308 Winchester significantly outperforms the 7.62x39mm even in shorter configurations.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 100-pound block of lead against various firearm calibers, from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The experiment demonstrates how different rounds interact with soft lead, showing deformation and penetration depths. Notably, the .50 BMG round successfully penetrated the entire lead block and a target behind it, highlighting the extreme power of this caliber.

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 tests the bullet resistance of a 2-lb rubber mallet against various calibers, from birdshot to .50 BMG. The mallet demonstrates surprising durability, absorbing impacts from smaller calibers without penetration. However, larger calibers like .223 Remington shatter the handle, and .308 Winchester penetrates the head. The experiment highlights the potential for unexpected stopping power in common tools.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a large, commercially available Jawbreaker candy against various calibers of ammunition. It demonstrates how different rounds, from .22 LR to 6.5 Creedmoor, impact and damage the candy, noting the shockwaves and fragmentation caused by higher-powered rounds. The experiment highlights the surprising durability of the Jawbreaker and the destructive power of firearms.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a sledgehammer against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. It demonstrates that even smaller rounds cause superficial damage, while larger calibers like 7.62x39mm and 5.56mm create significant dents and fragmentation. The .50 BMG round causes the most substantial damage, but the hammer remains intact, suggesting a high degree of ballistic resistance.

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.
