Vending Machine vs Bullets

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of a real bank door against various calibers, from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The test, conducted by an experienced individual demonstrating safe firearm handling, shows the door's effectiveness against most handgun rounds and even some rifle calibers, though it is ultimately penetrated by a .50 BMG round. The experiment uses a mannequin named Fred as a target to visualize the effects of penetration.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test to determine if forklift forks can stop various firearm rounds, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The test, conducted by an experienced individual, shows that while forklift forks can stop many common handgun and rifle rounds, they are penetrated by the .50 BMG round. The results provide practical insights into the ballistic resistance of steel under extreme impact.

This video demonstrates a concrete penetration test comparing the AK-47 (7.62x39mm) and the M16A1 (5.56x45mm NATO). An experienced shooter highlights the differences in projectile impact and concrete fragmentation, with the AK-47 showing more explosive results due to its larger caliber's momentum. The demonstration emphasizes safe firearm handling and proper range setup.

Administrative Results, a high-authority tactical content creator, explores the extreme end of suppressor design with the 'Big Chungus' prototype. This large .30 caliber suppressor, inspired by historical oversized suppressors, is tested on various platforms for sound and recoil reduction. The video delves into the thermodynamics of suppression and the durability of its 17-4 stainless steel construction through rigorous live-fire testing, including direct ballistic impacts.

This guide details the installation of WOOX Forty Seven furniture on an AK-pattern rifle, along with the mounting of a Midwest Industries M-Lok rail and STARSTRIKE optic. It covers loading KAISER 7.62x39mm ammunition, magazine insertion, and fundamental shooting techniques including cycling the action, firing, and performing quick magazine changes. The demonstration emphasizes competent firearm handling and proficient reloads from an experienced shooter.

This video from Polenar Tactical, featuring expert Žiga, demonstrates rigorous testing of Protection Group Denmark's U-line ESAPI XL Level 4 ballistic plates against unconventional threats beyond standard NIJ 0101.06 testing. The expert guide outlines a comprehensive testing methodology, from baseline rifle threats to extreme scenarios like grenade fragmentation and multi-shot rifle impacts on damaged plates. The assessment highlights the plate's exceptional performance even when compromised, offering valuable insights for tactical gear users and armor manufacturers.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms instructor, conducting a unique bullet penetration test. He uses 12 Ozark Trail 12-inch cast iron skillets to determine how many rounds from various calibers and firearms, including 9mm, .45 ACP, 500 S&W Magnum, 7.62x39mm, 5.56mm, 5.7x28mm, and 12 Gauge slugs, can penetrate the cookware. The results offer practical insights into the ballistic performance of different ammunition types against a common household item.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian provides an expert-level demonstration of the Serbu BFG-50A rifle's capability against a railroad track. Sarkissian, a high-level firearms enthusiast, showcases the .50 BMG caliber's power with various ammunition types, including the specialized Raufoss Mk 211 Mod 0, highlighting its penetration through thick steel. The content offers valuable insights into terminal ballistics and the performance of heavy caliber rounds.

This video demonstrates a unique application of the X Products Can Cannon, a gas-operated launcher compatible with AR-15/M16 lowers, to launch an M67-style fragmentation grenade using .223 Blanks. Expert experimentalist Edwin Sarkissian showcases the process of loading and firing the device towards a frozen lake, highlighting the launcher's ability to hold the grenade's spoon in place until firing. The demonstration results in a significant explosion and ice shatter upon impact.

This guide details a ballistic test comparing a .50 Cal Spotter round against a 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass panel using a Serbu BFG-50A rifle. The test, conducted by firearms enthusiast Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates the significant destructive potential of specialized .50 BMG ammunition, highlighting differences in impact effects between incendiary spotter rounds and standard FMJ rounds. The expert-level demonstration emphasizes the importance of understanding ammunition types and their performance against protective materials.
