Duration: 19:35

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features Scott, an established expert in extreme ballistic testing, demonstrating the immense power of a custom 'Fury' Punt Gun. The experiment involves testing the Punt Gun's 1.68-inch bore projectile against Premier Body Armor's Level 3A and Level 4 plates. While the armor stops penetration, the sheer kinetic energy transfer results in the destruction of ballistic dummies, highlighting the incapacitating effects of blunt force trauma even when armor holds.

Quick Summary

The 'Fury' Punt Gun, a massive 150+ lb firearm with a 6-foot barrel, was tested against Premier Body Armor's Level 3A and Level 4 plates. While the armor stopped penetration, the extreme kinetic energy transfer from the 1 lb projectile destroyed the ballistic dummies, highlighting the lethal effects of blunt force trauma.

A Punt Gun is an extremely large-bore firearm, historically used for waterfowl hunting. The 'Fury' Punt Gun tested here features a 6-foot barrel, weighs over 150 lbs, and fires a 1 lb projectile with immense kinetic energy, estimated at 25,000 foot-pounds.

How did the Punt Gun perform against Level 3A body armor?

Against Premier Body Armor's Level 3A vest, the Punt Gun's massive projectile completely destroyed the ballistic dummy and the vest itself, even at a closer range after an initial low hit.

Can body armor stop a Punt Gun round?

While Premier Body Armor's Level 4 ceramic plate successfully stopped the Punt Gun projectile from penetrating, the extreme kinetic energy transfer still destroyed the ballistic dummy, indicating a fatal level of blunt force trauma.

What are the key specifications of the Fury Punt Gun?

The Fury Punt Gun has a 1.68-inch bore diameter, a 6-foot barrel, an overall length of 9 feet, and weighs over 150 pounds. It produces an estimated 800 lbs of recoil.
