Bulletproof testing a HUMVEE Windshield

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of a real bank door against various calibers, from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The test, conducted by an experienced individual demonstrating safe firearm handling, shows the door's effectiveness against most handgun rounds and even some rifle calibers, though it is ultimately penetrated by a .50 BMG round. The experiment uses a mannequin named Fred as a target to visualize the effects of penetration.

This guide details a practical test of expired soft body armor, demonstrating its performance against handgun caliber rounds. Chief Instructor Ernie Medina of Tap Rack Bang, LLC, explains that while materials degrade, expired armor may still offer some protection, though it shouldn't be relied upon for primary duty use. The test highlights the importance of understanding ballistic warranties and material limitations.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the performance of the 'Havok Halo' .45 ACP ammunition. The host, demonstrating proper firearm handling and safety, tests the unique blue-tipped rounds by firing them at a steel target and a simulated car door. The results showcase a significant explosive and fragmenting effect, highlighting the ammunition's potential for specialized applications. The content also briefly mentions SDI for gunsmithing education.

This video from Tática Civil demonstrates a unique ballistic test using 12 Gauge shotgun shells loaded with Jawbreaker candies. The instructor, showing experienced firearm handling, tests their impact on a water jug and a Clear Ballistics gel head, comparing the spread to standard birdshot. The results indicate these candy rounds deliver significant energy and wider spread than conventional shotgun shells, posing a greater threat than their composition might suggest.

This video demonstrates a unique ballistic test using custom shotgun rounds loaded with drill bits, as suggested by AI. The testing, conducted by an experienced individual from Civilian Tactical, involves firing these rounds at various targets including a soda bottle, a paper silhouette, and a ballistic gel head. The results provide insights into the projectile's spread, penetration, and overall effectiveness, offering a practical, albeit unconventional, look at terminal ballistics.

This livestream features firearms instructors Nate and Gary analyzing footage and evidence related to a shooting incident involving Charlie Kirk. They discuss ballistics, the effectiveness of body armor (specifically plates), and the physics of bullet impacts. The conversation delves into the lack of an exit wound, the behavior of the shirt during impact, and the possibility of ricochets or deflections off ballistic plates. They also examine the timeline of events and the presence or absence of body armor.

This video demonstrates the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. The test, conducted by an experienced individual, shows that while smaller calibers cause minimal damage, larger rounds like the .50 BMG API can penetrate the bucket. The footage provides visual evidence of impact effects and the destructive potential of different ammunition types.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an experienced host testing the ballistic penetration of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, in an Intex swimming pool. The host demonstrates proper firearm safety and provides detailed measurements of bullet penetration depths, offering unique insights into how different rounds interact with water as a medium. The results highlight significant variations in penetration based on caliber and velocity.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Secret Service Suburban window against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers and even a 10mm and .44 Magnum were stopped with varying degrees of damage, the window was eventually penetrated by a .50 BMG sniper rifle round. The testing provides a clear demonstration of the limits of armored vehicle glass against high-powered rifle threats.
