Desert Eagle 50 Caliber vs. Level IIIA Body Armor (HD)

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a 357 Magnum round, specifically Norma 80-grain NXD projectiles traveling over 2000 fps, against Level IIIA body armor. The test demonstrates that while the armor sustained significant damage, including ripping the backing material, it successfully stopped the projectile. The test was repeated with a lever-action rifle, yielding similar results.

This video conducts a series of ballistic tests comparing the stopping power of various firearms against a 'Mega Bruiser Giant Jawbreaker,' advertised as the world's hardest candy. The experiment evaluates how different calibers, from .22 LR to .50 AE and 7.62x39mm, interact with the candy, observing penetration and projectile integrity. The results offer insights into the surprising resilience of the candy against smaller calibers and its complete destruction by more powerful rounds.

This video details an experimental test to determine how many bricks are required to stop various bullet calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The host, demonstrating familiarity with safe firearm handling and various platforms, tests handguns and rifles, showcasing the significant penetration power of larger calibers like the .50 AE and .50 BMG. The experiment provides a visual demonstration of projectile energy transfer and material resistance.

This review tests Universal Armor's Level IIIA lightweight body armor, highlighting its exceptionally low weight (19 oz per plate) and integrated stab protection. The armor features a curved, 10x12 shooter's cut design inspired by tank armor for potential ricochet mitigation. Testing included 357 Magnum, 9mm, .40 S&W, 12 gauge buckshot, and surprisingly, 460 S&W Magnum, all of which were stopped without penetration, though 300 Blackout subsonic did penetrate.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features an expert-level ballistics test pitting a .50 BMG rifle against a solid concrete Bigfoot statue. The test demonstrates the immense power of .50 BMG ammunition, completely destroying the statue, while lesser calibers like .308 Win, 5.56 NATO, and even large-bore handguns like the .500 S&W Magnum and .50 AE show significantly less effect. The test concludes with the discovery of rebar reinforcement within the concrete.

This expert guide details a ballistic test comparing 7.62x25mm Tokarev ammunition against Spartan Armor Systems Level IIIA body armor. The test, conducted by a knowledgeable host, reveals that while the armor stops a single 7.62x25mm round, a second shot to the same spot penetrates. The test also demonstrates the armor's vulnerability to standard 5.56x45mm rifle rounds fired from an AR-15 pistol.
