Best BUDGET Compound BOW For BEGINNERS? $250 Bear Vast RTH

This video tests the feasibility of using a compound bow with night vision goggles (NVGs) for tactical operations. While daytime archery at 50 meters was successful, the combination of NVGs and traditional sights proved highly inaccurate at night due to alignment challenges. The host concludes the current setup is not viable for night operations and seeks audience input for solutions.

This video tests the ballistic protection of a Kevlar military helmet against a 70lb compound bow. While a standard field tip failed to penetrate, both a carbon steel and a stainless steel broadhead successfully penetrated the helmet, with one pinning it to the dummy and the other causing a partial penetration and nicking the dummy's head.

This video tests the penetration of a 70 lb compound bow into a massive duct tape ball using three different arrow tips. A field tip showed significant penetration, followed by a mechanical broadhead which penetrated less. The 350-grain big game broadhead achieved the deepest penetration, demonstrating its effectiveness for large game.

A 70 lb compound bow was tested against a solid wood door and a steel exterior door. A field tip arrow failed to penetrate the wood door completely but fully penetrated the steel door. A broadhead arrow also failed to penetrate the wood door, bouncing off, but passed cleanly through the steel door.

This video tests the protective capabilities of three World War II helmets against a 70-pound compound bow. The American M1 helmet was completely penetrated, while the German Stahlhelm deflected the arrow due to its sloped design. The Japanese Type 92 helmet offered partial protection, stopping the arrow but causing significant damage.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a 70lb compound bow using three different arrow tips against a tire. A blunt field point achieved significant penetration, while a 4-blade fixed broadhead showed less, and a 2-blade fixed broadhead penetrated deepest. The host demonstrates practical archery knowledge and equipment testing.

This video rigorously tests the self-defense capabilities of various airguns against a realistic human head ballistic target. The expert instructor demonstrates that low-power BB guns like the Daisy Red Rider offer minimal threat, while even full-auto CO2 BB guns fail to penetrate the skull. However, a high-velocity Gamo pellet rifle proves capable of causing significant damage, cracking the skull. The instructor concludes that BB guns are unsuitable for self-defense, and while pellet rifles are dangerous, they lack the immediate stopping power of conventional firearms.

This video tests the BulletSafe VP3 Level IIIA vest against various calibers up to .44 Magnum using a realistic human torso dummy. While the vest stopped all tested rounds, including a .44 Magnum and 12-gauge buckshot, significant backface deformation and blunt force trauma were evident, especially with higher-energy rounds. The dummy's shoulder blade was broken by buckshot, and severe bruising was indicated by the .44 Magnum impact.

This review of the Crosman DPMS SBR full-auto BB gun highlights its realistic AR-15 SBR aesthetics and select-fire capability. The host demonstrates its operation, including loading with a speedloader and the dual CO2 power system. Performance metrics like 1400 RPM and 430 FPS are discussed, along with its accuracy and destructive potential on targets like watermelons. The device is recommended for realistic training or plinking where live firearms are impractical.

This video tests the effectiveness and dangers of using a flare gun for self-defense. While a flare gun can ignite materials and cause internal damage to a ballistic torso, its single-shot capacity, slow reload, and high risk of starting fires make it an irresponsible and dangerous choice for defense. The test highlights the unpredictable nature and significant fire hazard associated with using flare guns in a defensive scenario.
