How Bulletproof Is A HELICOPTER? (50 BMG, 37MM, 277 Fury & More !!!)

This video tests the ballistic resistance of steel-toe boots against various calibers, from .22LR up to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers like .22LR and .380 ACP were completely stopped with minimal deformation, larger calibers like 9mm and .45 ACP caused significant bulging and potential toe injury, though they were still stopped. The .44 Magnum partially penetrated the steel on one attempt, and the 50 AE and 50 BMG successfully penetrated the steel toe, rendering the boots ineffective against these high-powered rounds.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 100-pound block of lead against various firearm calibers, from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The experiment demonstrates how different rounds interact with soft lead, showing deformation and penetration depths. Notably, the .50 BMG round successfully penetrated the entire lead block and a target behind it, highlighting the extreme power of this caliber.

This video provides an expert-level breakdown of the best ammunition cartridges for a SHTF (Shit Hits The Fan) scenario, prioritizing self-defense, food harvesting, and penetration capabilities. The instructor, with significant experience in ballistics testing, details recommendations from .22 LR for small game to .50 BMG for extreme threats, emphasizing availability, cost, and performance against various barriers. The content is geared towards individuals preparing for societal disruptions, offering practical advice on building a resilient ammunition stockpile.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of a 100-pound kettlebell against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The kettlebell demonstrates significant durability, stopping smaller rounds with minor marks and deflecting handgun rounds. High-power rifle rounds like 5.56mm NATO and .308 Winchester create divots and holes but do not penetrate fully. The .50 BMG round, however, causes significant damage, entering and exiting the kettlebell. The expert assessment highlights the experienced handling of firearms and knowledge of ammunition types.

This video from Yee Yee Life provides an entertaining yet informative look at the ballistic capabilities of water-filled metal barrels against various calibers, from 9mm up to .50 BMG. The demonstration, conducted by an experienced individual with clear expertise in firearm handling and terminal ballistics, showcases how different rounds interact with the barrels, offering practical insights into projectile stopping power. The content is suitable for intermediate viewers interested in tactical gear and ballistics.

This guide details the process of firing the Norinco ULR, a single-shot, bolt-action .50 BMG pistol. It emphasizes safe handling and preparation for the significant recoil and concussion associated with this powerful firearm. The demonstration includes loading, aiming, and firing at a water jug target, showcasing the destructive power of the .50 BMG round. Instruction is provided by an experienced individual from Kentucky Ballistics.

This video details a catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG, resulting in severe injuries to the shooter, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. The incident highlights extreme pressure events and the critical importance of firearm safety and immediate medical response.

This video details a comprehensive torture test of the Desert Eagle Mark XIX, conducted by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. The firearm was subjected to extreme conditions including water submersion, snow burial, mud immersion, and sand burial. Despite some malfunctions in mud and sand, the Desert Eagle demonstrated notable resilience, functioning after water and snow exposure. The test highlights the firearm's robust construction and the importance of understanding its limitations under adverse conditions.

This video features Scott from Kentucky Ballistics testing several of the world's largest caliber firearms against a realistic ballistic dummy torso. The expert demonstrates the destructive power of rounds like the .700 Nitro Express (1000 grain) and .600 Nitro Express (900 grain), showcasing detailed firearm engravings and unique actions like the Blaser R8 straight-pull bolt. The testing provides valuable insights into the performance of these extreme hunting calibers on simulated organic material.

This video features a high-energy, experimental review by Scott, a high-authority firearms and gear reviewer, testing the Liberty Safe National Classic Select. The safe undergoes extreme fire and ballistic tests, demonstrating impressive resistance to handgun rounds and fire but ultimately succumbing to .50 BMG and significant mechanical force. The review highlights the safe's robust construction and effective fire seals.
