Duration: 21:00

This guide details the process of testing experimental antler and horn projectiles across various calibers, from 9mm to .50 BMG, using ballistic gel torsos. The video, presented by a high-authority firearms entertainer, emphasizes safety with lead sleds for larger calibers and demonstrates significant terminal effects, often exceeding standard ammunition performance in terms of structural damage.

Quick Summary

Kentucky Ballistics tested the lethality of unique antler and horn bullets across calibers from 9mm to .50 BMG. Using ballistic gel torsos and safety equipment like lead sleds, the experiments revealed significant penetration and damage, with some experimental rounds showing extreme effects on internal organs and skeletal structures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers were tested with antler and horn bullets?

The video tested antler and horn bullets in various calibers, including 9mm, 12 Gauge, 10 Gauge, 8 Gauge, 4 Gauge, and .50 BMG, to assess their lethality.

What safety precautions were taken during the testing of large caliber rounds?

For larger caliber firearms and experimental rounds like the 4 Gauge and .50 BMG, a lead sled was used to ensure safety and stability during firing, mitigating recoil and maintaining accuracy.

How did the experimental antler and horn bullets perform against the ballistic torso?

The experimental antler and horn slugs demonstrated significant penetration and damage, often causing extensive structural damage to the ballistic torso's skeleton and organs, with some calibers exceeding the performance of standard ammunition in specific aspects.

What was the purpose of testing standard .50 BMG ammunition?

Standard Hornady A-MAX .50 BMG ammunition was fired for comparison against the experimental antler .50 BMG round, showcasing the destructive 'jet effect' and overall kinetic energy dump that completely obliterated the ballistic torso and its base.
