How Bulletproof is a Solid Ball of Obsidian? #civtac #gun #demolitionranch #ammo

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Money Metals Exchange 2nd Amendment copper coin against various calibers, including 12-gauge birdshot, .22 LR, 9mm, and .223 Remington. The coin successfully stopped the birdshot, .22 LR, and 9mm rounds, but was penetrated by the .223 round from an F-1 Firearms AR-15. The host, affiliated with Civilian Tactical and Sonoran Desert Institute, demonstrates safe firearm handling throughout the experiment.

This video from Civilian Tactical tests the 'bulletproof' nature of a mini anvil against various calibers, from Birdshot to .308. The host, demonstrating high engagement and access to tactical gear, shows how each round impacts the anvil, causing significant damage, cratering, and material removal. The experiment concludes that while the anvil might stop rounds, it is progressively destroyed.

This video features Civilian Tactical Host conducting a ballistic test on a 36-inch Pittsburgh pipe wrench to assess its bulletproof capabilities. The test involves firing various calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG, at the wrench. The host, an established tactical content creator, demonstrates proper range safety and familiarity with the firearms used. The wrench withstands handgun rounds and 7.62x39 but is penetrated by .223/5.56 rounds.

This video from Civilian Tactical tests the surprising bullet resistance of a fireman's axe against various calibers, from .22 LR up to a .50 BMG. The host, demonstrating high authority in firearms, showcases multiple platforms including the Volquartsen Arms Mamba and a Raptor 50 rifle. The experiment reveals that common handgun and even intermediate rifle rounds fail to penetrate the axe head, highlighting unexpected material resilience before succumbing to the .50 BMG round.

This video tests the bullet resistance of a 23-karat gold-plated Charizard Pokémon card. Using a .22 Long Rifle, 9mm, and 5.56x45mm NATO rounds fired from a Glock 19 and AR-15, the experiment demonstrates that the card is not bulletproof. The thin gold plating offers no significant protection, with all calibers penetrating and destroying the card.

This video from DemolitionRanch features Matt Carriker conducting a series of destructive tests on a 12-inch obsidian ball. He uses various firearms, from .22 LR to a .50 BMG Barrett M107, to assess the material's durability. The tests demonstrate how different calibers and projectile types impact and fracture the obsidian, culminating in its complete destruction by the .50 BMG round. The video showcases the channel's signature energetic and experimental approach to testing.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
