can a RUBBERBAND BALL stop a bullet?

This video explores the limits of 12 gauge shotgun slug weight, testing slugs ranging from a standard 1 ounce to a massive 6100 grain (nearly 14 oz) projectile. The presenter, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, demonstrates the significant increase in recoil and potential firearm stress with heavier slugs. The experiment involves testing slug penetration through various mediums like water, ballistic gel, and even body armor, while also assessing the durability of different shotguns under extreme pressure.

This video demonstrates the creation and testing of custom .410 shotgun loads. The instructor details the components used, including foam spacers, 000 buckshot, and 9mm hollow-point slugs, and discusses variations in slug orientation. Testing in a Mossberg 500E cylinder bore shotgun reveals that buck and birdshot loads are effective, while slug performance is less predictable.

This video demonstrates a practical penetration test comparing birdshot, buckshot, and slugs fired from a 12 gauge pump-action shotgun through multiple layers of drywall. The host, a firearms enthusiast, provides an energetic and informal analysis of the results, highlighting the significant differences in penetration depth. The test serves to inform viewers about projectile performance for potential home defense considerations.

This guide details how to assess the potential lethality of BB guns, specifically comparing the Daisy Red Ryder to a higher-power pump-action airgun and a 12-gauge shotgun. It involves penetration testing using ballistic gel or pork butt and simulating critical artery wall penetration. The expert assessment highlights that the Red Ryder, at typical velocities, is not considered lethal for typical body tissue hits, while more powerful airguns and shotguns pose significant risks.

This video compares the destructive power and ballistics of a 12-gauge shotgun slug against a .50 BMG rifle round. It details chronograph readings for both firearms and demonstrates their performance on steel targets at 20 yards. The .50 BMG significantly outperforms the 12-gauge slug in penetration and overall force, as evidenced by its ability to destroy a steel plate and damage filming equipment, while the 12-gauge slug had no effect.

Aguila Ammunition is introducing its 12-gauge mini shells (1 3/4 inches) to the US market. These shells are designed for reduced recoil and muzzle jump, making them ideal for home defense and introducing new shooters to shotguns. They are available in 7.5 shot, slug (7/8 oz, 1250 FPS), and buckshot.

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.
