Can Steel Armor Stop 60 Rounds? Educational Video

This video from Louisiana Firearms humorously tests the ballistic resistance of a Lodge Cast Iron Skillet against various calibers, from 9mm to .50 BMG. The instructor, demonstrating experienced firearm handling, compares the penetration and damage inflicted by each round. While presented with entertainment value, the segment offers insights into projectile performance against a dense, non-standard material, highlighting the destructive power of larger calibers.

This video features an expert-level ballistic test comparing 1776 USA's lead-free 9mm ammunition against traditional FMJ rounds. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, conducts multiple penetration tests, including cinderblocks, car doors, and body armor, highlighting the superior barrier penetration of the lead-free bonded steel projectiles. The tests also confirm the reliability of the lead-free rounds in cycling a Girsan Influencer X 1911 pistol.

This video tests the effectiveness of diamond-tipped bullets against various barriers, including steel targets, ballistics gel, and level 3A body armor. The experiment uses lab-grown diamonds and moissanite stones embedded in hollow-point bullets across several calibers. While the diamond tips proved incredibly durable, they did not significantly enhance penetration through body armor compared to standard hollow-point rounds. The tests highlight the extreme hardness of diamond and its resilience even under direct bullet impact.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of M855A1 ammunition against Level 3 and Level 3+ steel armor plates at 100 meters. The M855A1 demonstrated significant penetration against Level 3 steel but failed to penetrate the Level 3+ plate. Velocities for various barrel lengths were also provided.

This video details a test by Matt Carriker of DemolitionRanch, an experienced individual with a veterinary background, assessing the durability of an AR500 steel body armor plate against 50 shotgun slugs. The plate, featuring a rubberized spall guard, was subjected to various 12-gauge slug loads. Despite significant deformation and complete removal of the spall coating in the impact area, the steel plate itself did not crack or show signs of penetration after enduring all 50 rounds, demonstrating the resilience of AR500 steel against repeated high-impact shotgun slugs.

This video provides an in-depth review and ballistic test of the RMA Armament 1165MC Gen 2 NIJ Level IV body armor. The reviewer details the plate's specifications, including its thinness, high purity ceramic composition, multi-curve design, and lightweight construction. Multiple ballistic tests are conducted using various calibers (.30-06, 5.56x45mm, 9mm, .22LR) against a water jug target to assess penetration and backface deformation, demonstrating the armor's protective capabilities.

This guide, presented by an experienced speaker from Copper Jacket TV, outlines crucial steps for firearm owners if the ATF visits their home. It emphasizes the importance of knowing your rights, including the right to remain silent and refuse warrantless searches. The speaker, who is not a lawyer, strongly advises consulting a Second Amendment attorney and highlights the Firearms Policy Coalition's role in defending these rights.

This video from Copper Jacket TV discusses the alarming increase in Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) in New York, driven by a recent executive order from Governor Kathy Hochul. The speaker, an experienced firearms instructor, highlights concerns about due process, as individuals can have their firearms confiscated without prior notice or legal representation. The content serves as a serious warning about the potential expansion of such measures to other states with red flag laws.

This guide covers the fundamental process of zeroing firearms, focusing on both scopes and iron sights. It explains the critical concepts of Point of Aim vs. Point of Impact and the 'follow the hit' principle for iron sights. The video also introduces 'holding' as a method for compensating for bullet drop without mechanical adjustments, offering practical advice for new shooters.

This video, from Copper Jacket TV, demonstrates the perceived absurdity of California's gun laws through the lens of firearm compliance modifications. The speaker, exhibiting an experienced and authoritative tone, highlights how a simple 'fin grip' is presented as a safety measure on firearms like the Desert Tech .308 Bullpup, while questioning the effectiveness and cost of such legislation. The content serves as a critical examination of the state's regulatory approach to firearms.
