Ruger 10/22 vs. WWII Helmets

This video details a comprehensive durability test of WWII helmets from Japan, America, and Germany. The helmets are subjected to a variety of destructive methods including archery, ballistic testing with .22 LR and .45 ACP rounds, explosive detonations, blunt force impacts, drops, and crushing by a forklift. The German Stahlhelm demonstrates superior resistance across most tests, particularly against ballistic threats.

This video provides an unboxing and overview of the Ruger BX-25 25-round magazines for the Ruger 10/22 platform. It highlights features like stainless steel feed lips, an anti-tilt follower, and a constant force spring for reliable feeding. The presenter demonstrates loading and insertion, comparing them to the standard 10-round magazines. A notable issue with one of the two included magazines not functioning correctly in the reviewer's rifle is discussed.

This video outlines eight firearms experienced shooters would choose if societal stability collapsed. It emphasizes practicality, durability, and logistical considerations, covering platforms like the AR-15 and AK, handguns like the Glock 19 and full-size duty pistols, shotguns, and specialized rifles for different ranges and roles. The presenter, Luke from Line 45, highlights the importance of reliable platforms, readily available parts, and effective calibers for survival scenarios.

This video from Yee Yee Life features Parker conducting an experimental ballistic test to see if a large ball of duct tape can stop bullets. Using firearms like the Ruger 10/22, a 9mm Glock, a Ruger Redhawk .44 Magnum, a .45 ACP 1911, a .450 Bushmaster rifle, and an AR-15, Parker tests various calibers against the duct tape target. The results show the tape ball successfully stopped .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP rounds, but was penetrated by .44 Magnum, .450 Bushmaster, and 5.56mm rounds.

This video from Yee Yee Life demonstrates the bullet-stopping capabilities of Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid, against various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The experiment, conducted by an experienced host, shows how Oobleck's properties change under impact, effectively stopping smaller rounds but failing against high-powered rifle cartridges. The test highlights the significant difference in terminal ballistics between handgun and rifle rounds.

This video explores the bullet-stopping potential of Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid, by testing various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The experiment, conducted with enthusiasm and safe firearm handling, demonstrates how Oobleck behaves differently under varying projectile impacts. It successfully stopped smaller rounds but was overwhelmed by larger calibers, highlighting the material's unique properties under extreme force.

This video demonstrates the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. The test, conducted by an experienced individual, shows that while smaller calibers cause minimal damage, larger rounds like the .50 BMG API can penetrate the bucket. The footage provides visual evidence of impact effects and the destructive potential of different ammunition types.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an experienced host testing the ballistic penetration of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, in an Intex swimming pool. The host demonstrates proper firearm safety and provides detailed measurements of bullet penetration depths, offering unique insights into how different rounds interact with water as a medium. The results highlight significant variations in penetration based on caliber and velocity.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Secret Service Suburban window against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers and even a 10mm and .44 Magnum were stopped with varying degrees of damage, the window was eventually penetrated by a .50 BMG sniper rifle round. The testing provides a clear demonstration of the limits of armored vehicle glass against high-powered rifle threats.
