Can A Blow-dart Penetrate A Car Door?

This video compares the terminal ballistics of a powerful 72 caliber air rifle against a 12-gauge slug. Through a series of tests involving pine trees, sand, steel plates, and ballistic gel, the video demonstrates the significant momentum and penetration capabilities of heavyweight air rifle projectiles, highlighting their potential as a quieter alternative to firearms in certain scenarios.

This video tests Velocias 9mm 96-grain solid copper hollowpoint defensive ammunition. The instructor evaluates its performance against steel and a sand-filled jug backed by wood, assessing mushrooming, penetration, and potential for ricochet. The goal is to determine if this ammunition is suitable for stocking on shelves for defensive use.

This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test comparing Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Soft Point (SP) ammunition against RMA Armament body armor. The test involves firing both ammunition types into ballistic gel placed behind the armor, with a water jug serving as a penetration indicator. The FMJ round impacted the ceramic plate, fragmenting, while the SP round's performance is observed for its potential to penetrate the armor and the water jug.

This guide details a comprehensive ballistic gel test procedure for Underwood 9mm +P 115 Grain Sporting JHP ammunition, as demonstrated by an expert instructor. It covers test setup, firearm preparation, velocity and penetration measurements, and projectile analysis, providing critical data for self-defense ammunition evaluation. The expert's methodology ensures reliable and comparable results across different firearm platforms.

This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test of 'chain shot' ammunition, an adaptation of historical pirate cannon shot, loaded into modern shotgun shells. The test evaluates the penetration of fine, medium, and thick chain shot. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, concludes that chain shot is impractical and potentially dangerous for modern use, best left to historical reenactments.

This video explores the terminal ballistics of 9mm ammunition when fired into an ice lake. The experiment involved mag dumping a Gears Witness Match X 2011 pistol into the ice to observe bullet behavior and recovery. While not all bullets bounced back, one 9mm round was successfully recovered from the ice.

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.
