The Brazilian Police Pistol Shield

This video from Tática Civil investigates whether bullets can ricochet off ice, similar to water. Using a .45 ACP pistol, the experiment involves firing at ice at various angles. The findings demonstrate that while initial shots may penetrate, lower impact angles can indeed cause bullets to ricochet, as evidenced by a successful test hitting a tree.

This video explores the feasibility of skipping bullets on ice, drawing parallels to successful water skipping techniques. Through a series of controlled experiments using a .45 ACP fired from a 1911 pistol, the presenter demonstrates various angles and ice thicknesses. The experiment culminates in a successful bullet skip, where the projectile digs a groove before angling out, confirming that bullet skipping on ice is possible under specific conditions.

This video details an extreme durability test of Premier Body Armor, subjecting it to a 'three-pronged attack' involving firearms, a flamethrower, and a significant amount of Tannerite. The test aims to assess the armor's resilience against various threats, using a watermelon as a proxy for organic material to gauge damage. While the armor demonstrates impressive resistance to the flamethrower and firearms, the detonation of Tannerite results in a large explosion.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics demonstrates the immense power of a Number 16 bear trap. Through a controlled test involving a water-filled 2-liter bottle, the channel effectively showcases the trap's crushing force. The demonstration highlights the raw, untamed power of this mechanical device, emphasizing its potential for significant impact.

This short demonstrates the ballistic power of the .500 Auto Max cartridge fired from an AR platform rifle. The video showcases a test where the round obliterates a water-filled protein powder tub, highlighting the round's destructive potential. The presenter, exhibiting clear familiarity with large-caliber firearms and ballistics, conducts a visual demonstration of the ammunition's impact.

This video demonstrates the firing of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50, into a sandbag target. It highlights the significant recoil and muzzle blast associated with this powerful caliber. The footage includes a close-up of the spent casing ejection and an assessment of the impact on the sandbag, showing penetration and sand leakage. Steel targets in the background are also observed for any secondary impacts.

This video details a catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG, which exploded due to extreme pressure exceeding 85,000 PSI. The incident resulted in severe injuries to the shooter, Scott, including a broken orbital bone, nose, lacerated jugular vein, and punctured lung. The analysis points to the breech cap shearing off its threads as the failure point, highlighting the dangers of exceeding firearm pressure limits.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics puts the Desert Eagle Mark XIX through a series of extreme environmental torture tests. The firearm demonstrates impressive initial resilience, functioning perfectly after water submersion and snow exposure. However, it encounters significant malfunctions when subjected to mud and sand, highlighting potential failure points in extreme conditions. The test is conducted by Scott, a recognized authority in destructive firearm testing.

This video features a series of extreme caliber tests using a zombie torso dummy. The .700 Nitro Express is tested with a 1000-grain soft point round, followed by .600, .500, and .470 Nitro Express calibers. Additional tests include the .460 Weatherby Magnum and .500 Jeffery, showcasing the immense power and recoil of these large-bore firearms.

This Liberty Safe National Classic Select underwent extreme torture tests, including a flamethrower fire simulation and ballistic impacts. While it withstood .45 ACP, .50 AE, .500 S&W Magnum, and .450 Marlin rounds, a .308 Win round penetrated, and .50 BMG rounds easily breached the safe. Despite significant damage, the safe's frame remained intact against mechanical force.
