This video features Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch and guest Crispy, a veteran amputee, conducting an experimental test of carbon fiber prosthetic leg durability against various firearm calibers. The test includes firearms like the Hi-Point Yeet Cannon (YC9), Hi-Point JHP 45, Ruger Mark IV, Bushmaster ACR, and Komrad 12, equipped with accessories such as Surefire lights, EOTech sights, and Q suppressors. The results provide insights into projectile penetration through layered carbon fiber, demonstrating the kinetic energy of different rounds.

Quick Summary

Demolition Ranch conducted an experimental test on carbon fiber prosthetic leg durability using firearms like the Hi-Point Yeet Cannon (YC9), Bushmaster ACR, and Komrad 12. Results showed varying penetration depths: .22 LR was stopped by one layer, 9mm and .45 ACP by two, 5.56x45mm by seven, and a 12-gauge slug by nine layers.
