Cast Lead: The World's Deadliest Ammo?

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 1kg rubber mallet against various calibers of ammunition, from .22 LR to .308 Winchester. The mallet demonstrates significant resistance, absorbing or deflecting most rounds, but is ultimately penetrated by the .308. The test highlights the surprising durability of the rubber mallet against firearm projectiles.

This video tests the daytime visibility of 'Streak' tracer ammunition, which is designed to be flameless. The instructor demonstrates that while tracer rounds are typically more visible at night, these specific flameless tracers can still be observed during the day, albeit with difficulty, especially at close range. The test highlights the challenges of observing tracer effects in bright daylight conditions.

This video debunks the myth that higher brass on a 12-gauge shotgun shell directly equates to more power and recoil. Through practical testing with various ammunition types, including the Balikli Blue Label shotgun and Hickory Flat Boars' Meat Hammer, the presenter demonstrates that projectile weight and powder charge are the primary drivers of felt recoil. The instruction emphasizes understanding ammunition components for informed shooting practices.

CajunBoyJake, demonstrating high authority and an objective tone, experimentally tests the common myth of revolvers blasting shrapnel from the cylinder gap. The guide details a methodical approach using various revolvers and ammunition types, including .22 Magnum, .38 Special, and .357 Magnum rounds, to determine if fragments escape. The testing concluded that only unburnt powder residue was observed, not dangerous shrapnel.

This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing the penetration capabilities of Federal Punch 22LR ammunition against Aguila Super Maximum Hyper Velocity 22LR. The Federal Punch, a 29-grain round, is tested against the Aguila's 30-grain solid flat nose. Chronograph readings show the Aguila Super Maximum averaging 1345 fps compared to the Federal Punch's 1321 fps. However, the Federal Punch consistently demonstrates superior penetration, with one round passing through 32 inches of ballistic gel, establishing it as the current penetration king in 22LR.

This video tests the performance of two different 10mm ammunition types fired from a Glock 20 against clay targets. The instructor compares a standard 180-grain FMJ round with a hotter 135-grain jacketed hollow point, analyzing the resulting damage and energy transfer. The test highlights how ammunition velocity and construction significantly impact terminal ballistics, even within the same caliber.

This video provides an expert-level overview of a heavily customized AR-15, nicknamed the 'Zombie Destroyer', built for a thematic zombie apocalypse scenario. The build features an extensive accessory loadout including multiple optics, lasers, and flashlights, along with a high magazine capacity. The demonstration includes rapid fire, engagement of Tannerite targets, and unique shooting techniques, showcasing the rifle's capabilities and the instructor's proficiency.

This video details an extreme AR-15 meltdown test, pushing a custom build to its limits. Expert instructor Eric demonstrates the process, highlighting component durability and failure points under sustained fire. The test concludes with a catastrophic barrel failure after 830 rounds, providing valuable insights into the platform's resilience.

This guide details the process of conducting an extreme durability test on an AK-47 variant, specifically the Definitive Arms VEPR, as demonstrated by Iraqveteran8888. The test involves sustained full-auto fire to induce critical heat failure, followed by inspection of components like the barrel and gas block. The expert assessment highlights the rifle's resilience, lasting 895 rounds before failure, and compares its performance to other platforms.

This guide details a 700-round rapid-fire stress test on a Yugo M92 PAP AK-47 variant, demonstrating the platform's legendary durability under extreme heat. Performed by Eric from Iraqveteran8888, the test highlights safe handling of overheated firearms and concludes with a tribute to Mikhail Kalashnikov's engineering legacy. The firearm successfully completed the test despite significant heat buildup.
