How Strong is a Giant Ball of Obsidian?!?!?

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of a cinderblock wall against various calibers. The host, an experienced firearms enthusiast, demonstrates that common handgun and intermediate rifle calibers are stopped by the wall. However, the powerful .50 BMG round easily penetrates, highlighting significant differences in terminal ballistics. The test emphasizes safe firearm handling and provides visual evidence of projectile impact.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an energetic, experimental approach to ballistics, testing how many bamboo cutting boards various calibers can penetrate. The host, a firearms enthusiast, demonstrates safe handling and knowledge of different firearms and ammunition, from .22 LR pistols to a .50 BMG rifle. The experiment provides a visual comparison of bullet energy and penetration power across a wide range of common and powerful calibers.

This video from Yee Yee Life demonstrates a ballistic test on steel toe boots, firing various calibers from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The expert instructor shows how lower calibers are stopped by the boots, while higher calibers like .50 AE and .50 BMG penetrate. The test highlights the limitations of steel toe boots against powerful firearm rounds.

This video details an experimental test to determine how many bricks are required to stop various bullet calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The host, demonstrating familiarity with safe firearm handling and various platforms, tests handguns and rifles, showcasing the significant penetration power of larger calibers like the .50 AE and .50 BMG. The experiment provides a visual demonstration of projectile energy transfer and material resistance.

This video provides an expert-level demonstration of titanium's ballistic resistance, testing a 2-inch thick block against a wide array of calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The host, exhibiting high authority in experimental ballistics, shows that while high-powered rounds can cause significant surface damage and kinetic effects, the titanium block remains unpenetrated throughout the test.

This video explores the effectiveness of a standard car as ballistic cover, testing various firearm calibers against a Mazda 626. The experiment reveals that while handgun rounds and even 5.56 can penetrate doors and windshields, the engine block offers the most reliable protection. The host, an enthusiast with practical testing experience, demonstrates safe firearm handling throughout the process.

This video from DemolitionRanch, hosted by Matt Carriker, explores the capabilities of high-powered, regulated air rifles like the AirForce Texan SS and Sam Yang Dragon Claw. Carriker demonstrates their impressive power, accuracy, and surprisingly quiet operation due to integrated suppressors, highlighting a legal loophole where these airguns and their suppressors are not subject to NFA regulations. The content showcases ballistics testing and comparisons, emphasizing the expert knowledge of the host in firearms and related legalities.

This video features Nicholas Irving, a former Special Operations sniper, demonstrating and discussing various high-powered firearms. Irving, author of 'Way of the Reaper,' shares insights on sniper rifles like the Barrett M107A1 and SR-25, discusses the recoil of the S&W 500 Magnum, and tests the penetration capabilities of different calibers against an engine block. The content highlights practical applications and the effectiveness of these weapons in tactical scenarios.

This video demonstrates the dangerous consequences of firing incorrect ammunition calibers in firearms. Experienced instructor Matt Carriker shows how .380 ACP in a 9mm firearm and 9mm in a .40 S&W firearm can lead to cycling failures and severe brass deformation due to improper headspacing. The experiment highlights the critical importance of using the correct ammunition for each firearm to ensure safe operation and prevent damage.

This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring firearms expert Matt Carriker, tests the ballistic resistance of Flex Tape when used as improvised body armor. The experiment involves layering Flex Tape onto cardboard and testing its effectiveness against .22 LR, 5.7x28mm (FN PS90), and 9mm (CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1) rounds. The results demonstrate that even extensive layering of Flex Tape is insufficient to stop common firearm calibers, highlighting the importance of proper ballistic materials.
