Helmet Durability Test (Part II)

This video demonstrates a durability test on a Leonark Fencing Mask using various projectiles. The mask withstands a 20lb compound bow but is penetrated by a 70lb compound bow, a .22 rifle, and a 12 Gauge shotgun slug. The experiment highlights the limitations of the mask against higher-powered firearms.

This video demonstrates a casual durability test using a 70-pound compound bow to assess the penetration resistance of various helmets: a football helmet, a motorcycle helmet, and a Vietnam War-era steel helmet. The results show varying levels of protection, with the steel helmet offering the most resistance. The test is presented by an enthusiast with a casual, energetic tone.

This video provides a fast-paced overview of the opening day of SHOT Show 2026, highlighting key exhibitors and product categories. It showcases a wide array of tactical gear, firearms, optics, and archery equipment from major industry brands. The montage offers a glimpse into the latest innovations and displays presented at the event.

This video demonstrates an experiment to test arrow penetration capabilities using a PSE Evoke 31 compound bow. Instructor Edwin Sarkissian, with high authority and expertise, showcases the bow's specifications (75 lbs draw weight, 330 fps) and tests both practice tip and broadhead arrows against a stack of hard hats. The broadhead arrow significantly outperforms the practice tip, piercing through three hard hats.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an experimental test comparing the penetration capabilities of different archery equipment against an airplane door. An enthusiast demonstrates the effects of a 20 lb draw weight bow, a 70 lb draw weight bow with a field tip, and a 210 lb draw weight crossbow with a broadhead. The results show varying degrees of penetration, highlighting the differences in power between the tested items.

This guide details a tactical test of a compound bow setup under night vision conditions, as demonstrated by the FalconClaw host. It covers the equipment used and the challenges encountered when trying to align traditional archery sights with NVGs for effective night operations. The speaker, an experienced tactical gear practitioner, highlights the practical difficulties and seeks audience input for improved solutions.

This video demonstrates the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. The test, conducted by an experienced individual, shows that while smaller calibers cause minimal damage, larger rounds like the .50 BMG API can penetrate the bucket. The footage provides visual evidence of impact effects and the destructive potential of different ammunition types.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an experienced host testing the ballistic penetration of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, in an Intex swimming pool. The host demonstrates proper firearm safety and provides detailed measurements of bullet penetration depths, offering unique insights into how different rounds interact with water as a medium. The results highlight significant variations in penetration based on caliber and velocity.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Secret Service Suburban window against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers and even a 10mm and .44 Magnum were stopped with varying degrees of damage, the window was eventually penetrated by a .50 BMG sniper rifle round. The testing provides a clear demonstration of the limits of armored vehicle glass against high-powered rifle threats.
