This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of common shovels against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The results demonstrate that even basic shovels can offer surprising protection, with multiple rounds failing to penetrate the first shovel. The test concludes with a .50 BMG round being stopped by the eighth shovel, indicating significant defensive potential for this everyday tool.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an experiment testing the ballistic resistance of hardened steel shovels against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The results show that while a single shovel can stop lower calibers like .22 LR and 9mm, higher-powered rounds require multiple shovels for complete penetration. The .50 BMG round, in particular, demonstrated significant power by penetrating seven shovels.

This video tests a TEMU armor plate against various handgun calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 AE. The plate surprisingly stops all tested rounds, showing only deformation or minor impact marks, with no penetration even from the powerful .50 AE. The testing methodology is systematic, demonstrating the plate's resilience under significant ballistic stress.

Administrative Results, a high-authority tactical content creator, explores the extreme end of suppressor design with the 'Big Chungus' prototype. This large .30 caliber suppressor, inspired by historical oversized suppressors, is tested on various platforms for sound and recoil reduction. The video delves into the thermodynamics of suppression and the durability of its 17-4 stainless steel construction through rigorous live-fire testing, including direct ballistic impacts.

This expert guide from Line45 provides a strategic approach to stockpiling ammunition, anticipating potential shortages. It details seven critical calibers (.22 LR, 9mm Luger, .223/5.56 NATO, 12 Gauge slugs/buckshot, 7.62x39mm, .308/7.62 NATO, and niche calibers) that Americans should consider stocking. The advice emphasizes maintaining separate reserves for training and defensive use, considering supply chain vulnerabilities, import restrictions, and geopolitical factors.

Ammunition prices have significantly decreased across multiple calibers in 2025, returning to pre-pandemic levels for many. This video highlights 10 calibers that are now exceptionally affordable, including 9mm Luger, .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, .22LR, .40 S&W, 7.62x39mm, .308 Winchester, 12 Gauge birdshot, and 5.45x39mm. The speaker, Ted from Line45, emphasizes that this is an opportune time to stock up due to stabilized supply chains and potential future price increases, especially with upcoming election cycles and possible tariffs.

This video tests how many cast iron skillets are needed to stop various bullets, from .22 LR to 500 S&W Magnum. Most common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by two skillets. Rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm also require two to three skillets, while the powerful 500 S&W Magnum penetrates three and is stopped by the fourth. The .22 LR failed to penetrate even the first skillet.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50A, against a section of railroad track. Various .50 caliber rounds, including Raufoss Mk 211 API and silver tip API, were fired. While the rifle and ammunition demonstrated the ability to penetrate even the thickest parts of the rail (over 1.5 inches), bullet deflection and shifting upon impact with the dense steel were observed.

This video demonstrates launching an M67 fragmentation grenade using an X Products Can Cannon towards a distant frozen lake. The Can Cannon, firing .223 blanks, successfully propels the grenade, which detonates upon impact, creating a visible hole in the ice. The experiment highlights the launcher's capability for extreme projectile delivery in challenging outdoor conditions.

This video tests the destructive power of a .50 caliber spotter round against 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass, comparing it to a standard FMJ round. The spotter round, designed to spark and flash, created a larger crater and more surface damage than the FMJ round, demonstrating its specialized impact characteristics. The Serbu BFG-50A rifle was used for both tests.
