Bulletproof Clothing Torture Test (ft. Demolition Ranch)

This video tests a bulletproof vest's limits against various calibers, starting with handguns and progressing to rifle rounds. The vest successfully stopped 9mm, .45 ACP, .44 Magnum, .50 AE, .223, .450 Bushmaster, .308, and a 12-gauge slug. However, it failed to stop a .50 BMG sniper rifle round, which penetrated the vest and dummy completely, highlighting the limitations of personal body armor against high-powered military-grade threats.

This video details a $10 body armor challenge using budget store items to protect a target. While improvised materials like water jugs and DVDs initially stopped a .22 LR round, they failed against a 9mm projectile, highlighting the limitations of budget solutions for serious threats. The experiment demonstrates basic ballistic principles with a humorous approach.

This video details an extreme durability test of Premier Body Armor, subjecting it to a 'three-pronged attack' involving firearms, a flamethrower, and a significant amount of Tannerite. The test aims to assess the armor's resilience against various threats, using a watermelon as a proxy for organic material to gauge damage. While the armor demonstrates impressive resistance to the flamethrower and firearms, the detonation of Tannerite results in a large explosion.

A 70-pound compound bow with a broadhead arrow fully penetrated Level 3A soft body armor, passing through the mannequin. In contrast, a 9mm Glock round was stopped by the same armor, causing a significant bulge but no penetration. This test highlights how different projectiles interact with soft body armor, with the bow bypassing it while the handgun was arrested.

This video tests budget body armor purchased from Temu, specifically focusing on Level 4 plates. The creator aims to determine if this affordable body armor is capable of stopping threats and can be a life-saving option. The testing involves shooting the armor, followed by a post-use examination to analyze its performance and structural integrity. The video questions the value proposition of budget-friendly body armor.

This video tests the effectiveness of Caliber AV2 body armor against various calibers, including .308 Winchester. It highlights the importance of anti-spall coatings on steel plates to mitigate dangerous fragmentation. The AV2 plate is shown to be thinner and lighter than traditional AR550 while still providing robust protection without penetration or delamination after a .308 hit.

This video details a catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG, which exploded due to extreme pressure exceeding 85,000 PSI. The incident resulted in severe injuries to the shooter, Scott, including a broken orbital bone, nose, lacerated jugular vein, and punctured lung. The analysis points to the breech cap shearing off its threads as the failure point, highlighting the dangers of exceeding firearm pressure limits.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics puts the Desert Eagle Mark XIX through a series of extreme environmental torture tests. The firearm demonstrates impressive initial resilience, functioning perfectly after water submersion and snow exposure. However, it encounters significant malfunctions when subjected to mud and sand, highlighting potential failure points in extreme conditions. The test is conducted by Scott, a recognized authority in destructive firearm testing.

This video features a series of extreme caliber tests using a zombie torso dummy. The .700 Nitro Express is tested with a 1000-grain soft point round, followed by .600, .500, and .470 Nitro Express calibers. Additional tests include the .460 Weatherby Magnum and .500 Jeffery, showcasing the immense power and recoil of these large-bore firearms.

This Liberty Safe National Classic Select underwent extreme torture tests, including a flamethrower fire simulation and ballistic impacts. While it withstood .45 ACP, .50 AE, .500 S&W Magnum, and .450 Marlin rounds, a .308 Win round penetrated, and .50 BMG rounds easily breached the safe. Despite significant damage, the safe's frame remained intact against mechanical force.
