Tiny 1911 Knockoff is the PERFECT Stocking Stuffer!!! 3rd Day Of Christmas

This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test of 'chain shot' ammunition, an adaptation of historical pirate cannon shot, loaded into modern shotgun shells. The test evaluates the penetration of fine, medium, and thick chain shot. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, concludes that chain shot is impractical and potentially dangerous for modern use, best left to historical reenactments.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features an expert-level penetration test comparing the 9mm and 10mm calibers. Using a Glock 19 with 124gr FMJ and a Glock 20 with 180gr FMJ, the test demonstrates that the 10mm caliber penetrates more wooden boards than the 9mm. The host, Scott, provides clear visuals and direct comparisons, showcasing safe firearm handling and structured testing methodology.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of M193 and M855 5.56mm ammunition when impacting a cinder block. The M855 round, characterized by its steel penetrator tip, demonstrated significantly more destructive power, completely shattering the target, while the M193 caused a cleaner penetration. The comparison highlights the different performance characteristics of these common 5.56mm loads.

This video demonstrates a practical, albeit unconventional, test of bullet penetration using common shovels as a barrier. The host, Fred, uses a variety of firearms and calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, to determine how many shovels are needed to stop a projectile. The results offer insights into the relative stopping power of different ammunition types against a common tool.

This video demonstrates a practical, albeit informal, comparison of .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition performance by testing their penetration capabilities in a frozen lake. The host, Mr. Madness, uses a Smith & Wesson Model 66 to fire both Federal American Eagle loads, highlighting the significant difference in impact and penetration depth, with the .357 Magnum proving far more potent. The test also touches on projectile recovery, with the JSP bullet from the .357 Magnum being successfully retrieved.

This video tests the bullet resistance of a sledgehammer against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The sledgehammer demonstrates significant resistance, with no caliber achieving a complete pass-through. Notably, even larger calibers like 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm NATO caused significant denting and bullet fragmentation, while the .50 BMG created a substantial divot. The experiment concludes that a sledgehammer is effectively bulletproof against the tested rounds.

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.
