The Barrett 416 in SUB ZERO temperatures!!!

This recap of CANCON Carolinas 2025, the world's largest fully suppressed range day, highlights key firearm and accessory manufacturers. Expert insights are provided on the Dead Air Lazarus 6 suppressor's performance and the Barrett MRAD ELR rifle. The event featured various shooting challenges and product demonstrations, showcasing the latest in suppressed firearm technology and optics.

This video details an extreme cold weather experiment testing firearm and ammunition performance at -110°F. The Iraqveteran8888 team, demonstrating high authority and safety consciousness, found that while extreme cold reduces ammunition velocity and causes brittleness in casings, firearms can remain mechanically functional. The experiment highlights material science phenomena and emphasizes the importance of safety protocols during such tests.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian demonstrating and comparing the Serbu BFG-50 and Desert Tech HTI rifles in .50 BMG and .416 Barrett calibers, respectively. Through various penetration tests against steel, paper, and oxygen tanks, Sarkissian provides expert insights into the ballistic performance and practical differences between these high-caliber firearms. The analysis highlights the .416 Barrett's superior penetration due to its velocity and aerodynamic design, despite the .50 BMG's larger projectile mass.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-authority firearms influencer known for large-scale destructive testing, comparing the .50 BMG and .416 Barrett calibers. Through a series of tests involving aluminum blocks, paper reams, and steel I-beams, the video demonstrates the distinct ballistic properties and penetration capabilities of each round. It highlights the .416 Barrett's development for long-range accuracy and the .50 BMG's anti-material design, offering insights into their performance under extreme conditions.

This entry details the operation and considerations for large caliber rifles, drawing on the expertise of ballistician Bryan Litz. It covers essential marksmanship fundamentals, the critical role of muzzle brakes for managing recoil and blast, and the importance of high Ballistic Coefficient (BC) bullets for extreme long-range (ELR) engagements. The Desert Tech HTI rifle is highlighted as a versatile platform capable of chambering multiple ELR cartridges.

This video demonstrates an experimental technique for shattering a metal chain by first freezing it in liquid nitrogen and then impacting it with a 12 Gauge shotgun slug. The experiment, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, shows the effectiveness of extreme cold in making the metal brittle, leading to instant fragmentation upon impact. The Mossberg 590 shotgun and Federal Premium Vital-Shok slugs were utilized in this unique test.

This video from DemolitionRanch, hosted by Matt Carriker, explores the capabilities of high-powered, regulated air rifles like the AirForce Texan SS and Sam Yang Dragon Claw. Carriker demonstrates their impressive power, accuracy, and surprisingly quiet operation due to integrated suppressors, highlighting a legal loophole where these airguns and their suppressors are not subject to NFA regulations. The content showcases ballistics testing and comparisons, emphasizing the expert knowledge of the host in firearms and related legalities.

This video features Nicholas Irving, a former Special Operations sniper, demonstrating and discussing various high-powered firearms. Irving, author of 'Way of the Reaper,' shares insights on sniper rifles like the Barrett M107A1 and SR-25, discusses the recoil of the S&W 500 Magnum, and tests the penetration capabilities of different calibers against an engine block. The content highlights practical applications and the effectiveness of these weapons in tactical scenarios.

This video demonstrates the dangerous consequences of firing incorrect ammunition calibers in firearms. Experienced instructor Matt Carriker shows how .380 ACP in a 9mm firearm and 9mm in a .40 S&W firearm can lead to cycling failures and severe brass deformation due to improper headspacing. The experiment highlights the critical importance of using the correct ammunition for each firearm to ensure safe operation and prevent damage.

This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring firearms expert Matt Carriker, tests the ballistic resistance of Flex Tape when used as improvised body armor. The experiment involves layering Flex Tape onto cardboard and testing its effectiveness against .22 LR, 5.7x28mm (FN PS90), and 9mm (CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1) rounds. The results demonstrate that even extensive layering of Flex Tape is insufficient to stop common firearm calibers, highlighting the importance of proper ballistic materials.
