FLEX TAPE BULLETPROOF?

This video from Yee Yee Life features an enthusiastic content creator testing the ballistic limits of a large crystal ball against a wide array of firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The experiment, conducted with safe firearm handling practices and appropriate PPE, demonstrates the surprising resistance of the crystal ball to handgun and rifle rounds, though it is ultimately destroyed by a .50 BMG round. The host's casual yet experimental approach provides an entertaining look at projectile dynamics.

This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of a Premier Body Armor Fortis Level 3A helmet against various handgun calibers, from .22 LR up to .500 Magnum. Using a ballistic dummy head, the test assesses the helmet's ability to stop rounds and mitigate backface deformation. While the helmet successfully stopped all tested calibers, significant deformation occurred with higher-powered rounds, and the .500 Magnum ultimately caused catastrophic damage to the dummy head, indicating potential survivability issues with extreme calibers.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an energetic, informal experiment testing the ballistic resistance of a bowling ball against a range of calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The host, demonstrating familiarity with various firearms and safe practices, shows how progressively larger rounds impact the ball. Ultimately, only the .50 BMG round completely obliterates the bowling ball, highlighting significant differences in terminal ballistics.

This video tests common household objects and vehicle components as ballistic cover against various calibers including .22 LR, 9mm, .223, 12 gauge, and 300 Blackout. The experiment uses ballistic dummies to determine if objects provide cover (stopping rounds) or concealment (not stopping rounds). Results indicate that most everyday items offer minimal to no effective cover against common firearm calibers, with only certain materials and calibers showing potential to stop rounds.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics tests the bullet-stopping capabilities of a 10 oz pure silver bar against various calibers. The bar successfully stopped .22 LR and 9mm rounds, though it deformed significantly with the 9mm. It also stopped a .45 ACP round, causing further deformation and dislodging a previous .22 bullet. However, a 5.56 rifle round penetrated the bar completely, leading to the conclusion that silver is not effective body armor. The expert assessment highlights safe firearm handling and a clear understanding of ammunition types.

This video demonstrates a series of ballistic tests to determine the effectiveness of common household caulk in stopping various firearm projectiles. The experiment uses multiple firearms, including a .22 LR rifle, 9mm pistols, a .357 Magnum revolver, an AK-47, and an 8mm Mauser rifle, firing different types of ammunition at barriers constructed from caulk tubes. The results show varying degrees of penetration, with more powerful rounds easily passing through multiple tubes, while some success is noted with smaller caliber rounds.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms instructor, conducting a unique bullet penetration test. He uses 12 Ozark Trail 12-inch cast iron skillets to determine how many rounds from various calibers and firearms, including 9mm, .45 ACP, 500 S&W Magnum, 7.62x39mm, 5.56mm, 5.7x28mm, and 12 Gauge slugs, can penetrate the cookware. The results offer practical insights into the ballistic performance of different ammunition types against a common household item.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian provides an expert-level demonstration of the Serbu BFG-50A rifle's capability against a railroad track. Sarkissian, a high-level firearms enthusiast, showcases the .50 BMG caliber's power with various ammunition types, including the specialized Raufoss Mk 211 Mod 0, highlighting its penetration through thick steel. The content offers valuable insights into terminal ballistics and the performance of heavy caliber rounds.

This video demonstrates a unique application of the X Products Can Cannon, a gas-operated launcher compatible with AR-15/M16 lowers, to launch an M67-style fragmentation grenade using .223 Blanks. Expert experimentalist Edwin Sarkissian showcases the process of loading and firing the device towards a frozen lake, highlighting the launcher's ability to hold the grenade's spoon in place until firing. The demonstration results in a significant explosion and ice shatter upon impact.

This guide details a ballistic test comparing a .50 Cal Spotter round against a 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass panel using a Serbu BFG-50A rifle. The test, conducted by firearms enthusiast Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates the significant destructive potential of specialized .50 BMG ammunition, highlighting differences in impact effects between incendiary spotter rounds and standard FMJ rounds. The expert-level demonstration emphasizes the importance of understanding ammunition types and their performance against protective materials.
