Bulletproof Bowling Ball? *TEST* #gun #fullautofriday #demolitionranch #demoranch #civtac

This video tests the bullet resistance of a sledgehammer against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The sledgehammer demonstrates significant resistance, with no caliber achieving a complete pass-through. Notably, even larger calibers like 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm NATO caused significant denting and bullet fragmentation, while the .50 BMG created a substantial divot. The experiment concludes that a sledgehammer is effectively bulletproof against the tested rounds.

This video demonstrates a ballistic comparison between a 9mm custom pistol and an M16-style rifle, using a large fixed-blade knife as a target. The custom pistol's 9mm round impacted the knife without severing it, while the rifle's 5.56x45mm NATO round successfully cut the knife in half. The demonstration highlights the significant difference in terminal energy and penetration capabilities between common pistol and rifle calibers.

This video features a social media experiment where three gun tubers (Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons, Karl Casarda of In Range TV, and Administrative Results) independently rank four iconic rifles for militia use: the FN FAL, HK G3, AR-15, and AK-47. The consensus among the experts is that the AK-47 is the superior choice for arming untrained conscripts due to its simplicity, reliability, and ease of maintenance, while the FN FAL and HK G3 are deemed too powerful and complex for such a role. The AR-15 is considered good for trained soldiers but less ideal for a ragtag militia.

This video, presented by an experienced instructor, identifies the five worst calibers for budget ammunition stockpiling in 2026: 300 Blackout, 10mm Auto, .45 ACP, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Win/7.62 NATO. It highlights their high cost per round due to limited mass production or material expenses. The instructor recommends more affordable and widely available alternatives like 9mm, .40 S&W, 5.56mm/.223, and 7.62x39mm for budget-conscious individuals.

This video from God Family and Guns identifies the five most expensive and least budget-friendly calibers to stockpile: .300 Blackout, 10mm Auto, .45 ACP, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Winchester/7.62 NATO. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in ammunition markets and firearm applications, provides cost estimates and offers more affordable, mass-produced alternatives for each. The advice is geared towards individuals looking to build an ammunition reserve on a budget, emphasizing value and availability.

This video forecasts periodic ammunition shortages for seven popular calibers starting in 2026, driven by increased gun sales and potential civil unrest. The speaker, identified as knowledgeable in firearms and ammunition trends, details the reasons behind the anticipated scarcity for calibers like 9mm, 5.56/.223, 22 LR, 45 ACP, 380 ACP, 10mm Auto, and 6.5 Creedmoor, emphasizing that popular calibers are most affected.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
