This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-authority firearms influencer, conducting a unique ballistics test. He uses hot dogs as a medium to demonstrate the penetration capabilities of various calibers, including .22 LR, .45 ACP, .50 AE, and the powerful .500 S&W Magnum. The experiment highlights how bullet expansion, particularly with hollow points, can limit penetration depth.

This video details a test to determine if off-the-shelf 12 gauge shotgun ammunition can perforate Level IIIA soft body armor, inspired by a scene in John Wick. The test involved firing a 300-grain Sabo slug at a Spartan Armor Systems Level IIIA panel backed by ballistic gel. The results indicated that while significant backface deformation occurred, the slug did not fully penetrate the armor, suggesting soft armor can reliably stop common 12 gauge slugs.

This video demonstrates a practical, albeit destructive, test of various interior wall constructions against multiple firearms.
