World's fastest & most powerful Crossbow vs Army helmet

This experiment tests the penetration capabilities of various archery equipment against Caterpillar steel-toe boots. Traditional bows (100-200 fps) and compound bows (300 fps) failed to penetrate the steel toe, only damaging the leather. A high-powered TenPoint crossbow (470 fps) also could not penetrate the steel toe, though it severely bent and destroyed the arrow tips.

King Pedford, host of Haymaker Hunting, provides an enthusiastic overview of innovative products at SHOT Show 2026. He highlights the SPYPOINT FLEX-RANGE trail camera with its unique dual satellite/cellular connectivity, MAXCAM's versatile optics and action cameras for various mounting needs, and the lightweight, balanced Killer Instinct NEOX 415 crossbow. Pedford's expertise as a recognized industry influencer is evident in his practical insights.

This experiment tests the penetration capabilities of a 70-pound bow against bulletproof drywall using three different arrow tips. None of the tested tips, including a field tip, stainless steel broadhead, and a 350-grain big game broadhead, could fully penetrate the drywall. The tests highlight the limitations of arrow penetration against specialized materials, even with significant draw weight.

A 70 lb compound bow was tested against a solid wood door and a steel exterior door. A field tip arrow failed to penetrate the wood door completely but fully penetrated the steel door. A broadhead arrow also failed to penetrate the wood door, bouncing off, but passed cleanly through the steel door.

This video reviews five deadly mini crossbows available on Amazon, highlighting their tactical features, power, and compact designs. It covers models like the Steambow AR-6 Stinger II, Ballista Bat Reverse, and William Tell Mini Striker, detailing their velocities, draw weights, and unique cocking mechanisms. The review also touches upon 3D-printable options and high-end hunting platforms, offering a comprehensive look at compact crossbow technology for survival, defense, and recreational use.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a 70lb compound bow using three different arrow tips against a tire. A blunt field point achieved significant penetration, while a 4-blade fixed broadhead showed less, and a 2-blade fixed broadhead penetrated deepest. The host demonstrates practical archery knowledge and equipment testing.

This video tests how many cast iron skillets are needed to stop various bullets, from .22 LR to 500 S&W Magnum. Most common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by two skillets. Rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm also require two to three skillets, while the powerful 500 S&W Magnum penetrates three and is stopped by the fourth. The .22 LR failed to penetrate even the first skillet.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50A, against a section of railroad track. Various .50 caliber rounds, including Raufoss Mk 211 API and silver tip API, were fired. While the rifle and ammunition demonstrated the ability to penetrate even the thickest parts of the rail (over 1.5 inches), bullet deflection and shifting upon impact with the dense steel were observed.

This video demonstrates launching an M67 fragmentation grenade using an X Products Can Cannon towards a distant frozen lake. The Can Cannon, firing .223 blanks, successfully propels the grenade, which detonates upon impact, creating a visible hole in the ice. The experiment highlights the launcher's capability for extreme projectile delivery in challenging outdoor conditions.

This video tests the destructive power of a .50 caliber spotter round against 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass, comparing it to a standard FMJ round. The spotter round, designed to spark and flash, created a larger crater and more surface damage than the FMJ round, demonstrating its specialized impact characteristics. The Serbu BFG-50A rifle was used for both tests.
