Bulletproof Vest On Human Torso, What's The Damage???

This video details a long-range ballistic test conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms instructor. He tests a Level 3A body armor vest against a 6.5 PRC sniper round fired from a Christensen Arms rifle at a distance of one mile. The test demonstrates the armor's ability to stop the round, with the bullet lodging within the vest without penetration.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-profile firearms influencer, demonstrating the ballistic resistance of the RTS Level 3A bulletproof pillow. The pillow is tested against a variety of calibers, from .22 Magnum up to .50 AE, showcasing its ability to stop rounds fired from multiple firearm platforms. The testing confirms the pillow's effectiveness in preventing penetration, even with powerful handgun cartridges.

This video reviews the Tacticon Armament Level 3A hard body armor plates, highlighting their affordability and performance. The instructor emphasizes their lightweight construction, multi-curve and shooter's cut design, and effectiveness against common handgun calibers. Ballistic testing demonstrates their capability to stop 9mm and .357 Magnum rounds with acceptable backface deformation, making them a strong budget option for personal defense.

This video demonstrates the performance of the BulletSafe VP3 soft body armor vest when subjected to a full magazine dump from an Extar EP9 Gen 2 pistol. While the vest is designed for everyday use and is NIJ certified, the test simulates extreme stress. The presenter notes that while some rounds penetrated after repeated impacts in the same area, the vest significantly absorbed the energy and prevented full penetration on many shots, especially considering the volume of fire. The test highlights the vest's construction and its limitations under such intense, concentrated fire.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of homemade body armor constructed for under $10 by a viewer named NC Mountain Adventures. The armor, made from common household materials like duct tape, tin foil, construction paper, and pennies, was subjected to various handgun calibers. While it successfully stopped rounds up to a .44 Magnum, it failed against the .500 S&W Magnum.

This video conducts a series of ballistic tests to determine the penetration capabilities of various firearms against riot shields, and subsequently, against riot shields combined with body armor. The tests range from archery broadheads to a .50 caliber round, providing a visual and empirical assessment of projectile stopping power. The experiment highlights the limitations of riot shields against higher caliber threats and the added protection offered by ballistic plates.

This video provides an expert-level assessment of BB gun lethality for self-defense, featuring an experienced instructor from 1ShotTV. The test uses a realistic ballistic dummy head to compare a Daisy Red Rider BB gun, an Umarex MP40 CO2 replica, and a Gamo Wildcat Whisper pellet rifle. The findings indicate that BB guns are ineffective for self-defense, while pellet rifles show some potential but lack the stopping power of conventional firearms.

This review covers the Crosman DPMS SBR, a full-auto BB gun mimicking an AR-15 SBR. The host, demonstrating experienced authority, details its select-fire capability, dual CO2 power, 25-round capacity, and performance metrics like 430 FPS and 1400 RPM. The review includes practical demonstrations of loading, accuracy testing with minimal recoil, and penetration tests on various targets, concluding it offers a realistic full-auto experience for recreational shooting.

This video from 1ShotTV, featuring an experienced firearms content creator, experimentally tests the viability of a flare gun for self-defense. The tests reveal significant fire hazards when firing into household materials and inconsistent performance against clothing and ballistic targets. The Orion 12-gauge flare gun's single-shot capacity and slow reload time are highlighted as major drawbacks for defensive use. The conclusion strongly advises against using flare guns for self-defense due to these risks and limitations.

This video provides a detailed terminal ballistics demonstration using a realistic ballistic dummy. The 1ShotTV host, exhibiting high authority in firearms entertainment and practical terminal ballistics, showcases the effects of .375 H&H Magnum (both expanding and solid rounds), .45-70 Government, and a .50 caliber rifle on a human torso model. The experiment highlights significant differences in wound cavity, penetration, and tissue destruction between calibers and projectile types, utilizing high-speed photography for analysis.
