Will an AK magazine stop a bullet?

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.

This video conducts a series of ballistic tests comparing the stopping power of various firearms against a 'Mega Bruiser Giant Jawbreaker,' advertised as the world's hardest candy. The experiment evaluates how different calibers, from .22 LR to .50 AE and 7.62x39mm, interact with the candy, observing penetration and projectile integrity. The results offer insights into the surprising resilience of the candy against smaller calibers and its complete destruction by more powerful rounds.

This video tests the legendary Dragon Skin body armor's durability against a variety of handgun, shotgun, and rifle calibers. The armor, composed of overlapping ceramic plates, is subjected to numerous impacts to determine its effectiveness. While it performs well against pistol rounds, its ability to stop high-velocity rifle rounds and the formidable .50 BMG is critically evaluated.

This video from Louisiana Firearms humorously tests the ballistic resistance of a Lodge Cast Iron Skillet against various calibers, from 9mm to .50 BMG. The instructor, demonstrating experienced firearm handling, compares the penetration and damage inflicted by each round. While presented with entertainment value, the segment offers insights into projectile performance against a dense, non-standard material, highlighting the destructive power of larger calibers.

This video provides a clear, demonstrative comparison of 9mm FMJ versus R.I.P. ammunition performance. Utilizing a Sig Sauer M17 and slow-motion videography, the test shows the distinct impact characteristics of each round on a clay block. The R.I.P. round exhibits a significantly more destructive and fragmenting effect compared to the standard FMJ.

This video tests the lethality of .22 Long Rifle casings loaded into a shotgun shell. The experiment involved firing the custom shell at various targets, including paper, a 'unicorn urine' energy indicator, and a fragmentation vest, to assess penetration and impact. The results indicate that .22 Long Rifle casings fired in this manner can be lethal.

This entry details the safe handling of the T G-67 M-SOFT training hand grenade, as demonstrated by Ziga from Polenar Tactical. It emphasizes the critical role of the safety pin and spoon mechanism in preventing accidental detonation. The M-SOFT variant is likely for airsoft or training purposes, highlighting the importance of understanding device types for safety.

This expert guide from Polenar Tactical demonstrates the critical technique for applying a CAT-style tourniquet to control severe limb hemorrhage. The instruction emphasizes correct placement ('high and tight') and windlass application to stop bleeding, acknowledging the necessary pain involved. The video highlights that despite discomfort, proper tourniquet use is a life-saving measure.

This guide details the operation of the TAG 18 Smoke White grenade, as demonstrated by Polenar Tactical. It covers the basic mechanical components and the activation process, emphasizing its use for concealment or signaling. The instruction comes from an experienced source, offering a practical look at this tactical accessory.

This guide details the operation of the FBG-6 Flash Bang 2.0, a pyrotechnic distraction device. It emphasizes the function of the safety lever and the 2.0-second delay. The demonstration highlights that real flashbangs disorient through sound and flash, not the extreme visual effects seen in media. Expert instruction from Polenar Tactical covers safe handling and deployment principles.
