This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 100-pound block of lead against various firearm calibers, from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The experiment demonstrates how different rounds interact with soft lead, showing deformation and penetration depths. Notably, the .50 BMG round successfully penetrated the entire lead block and a target behind it, highlighting the extreme power of this caliber.

This video tests the bullet resistance of a Soviet-era hammer against various calibers of ammunition, from birdshot to .50 BMG. The hammer's head showed minimal damage from smaller calibers, with paint chips and small craters, but was significantly penetrated and damaged by larger rounds like 7.62x39mm and .308 Winchester.

This video tests the bullet resistance of a 2-lb rubber mallet against various calibers, from birdshot to .50 BMG. The mallet demonstrates surprising durability, absorbing impacts from smaller calibers without penetration. However, larger calibers like .223 Remington shatter the handle, and .308 Winchester penetrates the head. The experiment highlights the potential for unexpected stopping power in common tools.

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 tests the ballistic resistance of a Soviet-era hammer against various calibers. While smaller rounds like .22 LR caused minimal damage, larger calibers like 9mm, 7.62x39mm, .223 Remington, and .308 Winchester inflicted progressively more damage, with the .308 ultimately causing significant structural failure to the hammer's handle.

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.
