This video demonstrates a unique ballistic test by Edwin Sarkissian, a high-profile firearms content creator, who uses various calibers from handguns to anti-materiel rifles, culminating in an M67 grenade, to test the structural integrity of a vending machine. The experiment highlights the surprising resilience of the machine's internal components against high-powered rifle rounds, with only the .408 CheyTac and .50 BMG rounds showing consistent penetration before the grenade's destructive force.

Quick Summary

In a unique ballistic test, Edwin Sarkissian used a Desert Eagle, M16, AK-47, AWM, M200 Intervention, and Barrett M82 to test a vending machine's durability. The .408 CheyTac round from the M200 Intervention achieved the first rear penetration, followed by the M67 grenade which completely destroyed the machine.
