This guide details a test of a 30cm soda can launcher attached to an AR-style receiver, using 350ml Mountain Dew cans as projectiles fired with blanks. The test involved aiming at a ballistic gel head and analyzing the impact, noting significant damage and target displacement. The recoil was compared to a 12 gauge shotgun, and manual cycling was required due to insufficient pressure from blanks.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the effectiveness of a double slug shell, featuring two stacked lead slugs in a single 12-gauge cartridge. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, conducts tests using ballistics gel and water targets to assess lethality and energy transfer, recovering a completely flattened slug. Accuracy is evaluated at 35 yards, showing a relatively tight grouping for a multi-projectile load. The testing methodology includes proper range safety and clear explanations of ballistics principles.

This video demonstrates an experimental test of a 70-pound compound bow's ability to penetrate bulletproof drywall using various arrowheads. The host, exhibiting high authority and expertise in archery, tests field tips, stainless steel broadheads, and 350-grain big game broadheads against the barrier, with a dummy positioned behind it. The results show that while some penetration occurs, none of the tested arrows fully pass through the bulletproof drywall.

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.
