Curving a Bullet in Insane Ways!!!

This experiment tests the myth of deflecting a bullet with a hand. While a .45 ACP bullet did deflect slightly and slow down when impacting a ballistic hand during a 'slap' motion, it still passed through, causing significant damage. The 'punch' method was less effective. The conclusion is that while theoretical deflection is possible, it's highly unreliable and results in catastrophic hand injury, making it an impractical defense.

This video from DemolitionRanch features an experimental test of custom-made armor plates constructed from .45 ACP bullets and live cartridges encased in resin. The experiment, led by Matt Carriker, assesses the plates' effectiveness against various calibers, including .22 LR, 9mm, 5.7x28mm, 12 gauge buckshot, and 5.56x45mm. While the plates show some success against handgun rounds and buckshot, they are penetrated by high-velocity rifle rounds.

This guide details an advanced DIY modification to turn a fire extinguisher into a projectile, inspired by DemolitionRanch. It outlines the process of using a 12-gauge shotgun to shear the valve and launch the extinguisher, emphasizing the need for specialized equipment like a Caldwell Lead Sled for safety and precision. The experiment highlights the importance of understanding terminal ballistics and safe handling practices when dealing with high-pressure systems and firearms.

This video explores a highly dangerous and unscientific experiment: taping a 50 BMG round to an air rifle to see if it creates a 'super powerful sniper rifle'. The setup involves a pull string for remote firing. Upon firing, the result is an uncontrolled explosion, highlighting the severe risks of such modifications. The narrator's lack of expertise and the inherent dangers make this a cautionary tale rather than instructional content.

This video features a unique ballistics test where ramen noodles are used as a projectile stopping medium. Matt from Demolition Ranch guest hosts for Kentucky Ballistics, testing how many dry and wet ramen packages can stop various calibers from 9mm to .50 BMG. Wet ramen proved significantly more effective than dry, with even a .50 BMG round being stopped by two tubs of wet noodles.

This video demonstrates an unconventional method for clearing a squib load from a firearm barrel. The host, identified as PewView, uses a second firearm to shoot a projectile through a detached barrel containing a lodged bullet. While presented as a 'trick shot,' this technique highlights the potential dangers of squib loads and the importance of proper malfunction clearing procedures. The host's expertise is evident in his immediate identification of the squib and his ability to safely execute this high-risk experiment.

This video explores the AirForce Texan SS, a suppressed .45 caliber big bore air rifle, and the Sam Yang Dragon Claw .50 caliber air rifle. It highlights how these powerful airguns, despite their significant energy output (around 500 ft-lbs for the Texan SS), are not legally classified as firearms, allowing their integrated suppressors to bypass NFA regulations. The review includes sound comparisons, accuracy tests at 100 yards, and penetration demonstrations, showcasing their surprising effectiveness.

This video features former Special Operations sniper Nicholas 'The Reaper' Irving demonstrating various firearms and sharing combat insights. Key takeaways include the performance of the Barrett M107A1 and SR-25, the extreme recoil of the S&W 500 Magnum, and the effectiveness of .50 BMG rounds against an engine block. Irving's expertise as a decorated sniper significantly enhances the technical depth of the content.

This expert guide details the dangerous consequences of firing incorrect calibers in handguns, as demonstrated by firearms instructor Matt Carriker. It covers firing .380 ACP in a 9mm, 9mm in a .40 S&W, and .223 Remington in a .40 S&W, highlighting malfunctions like failure to cycle, bulged casings, and blown-out necks due to improper headspacing and lack of chamber support. The video emphasizes the critical importance of using the correct ammunition for firearm safety and function.

This review by Demolition Ranch tests the ballistic resistance of Flex Tape against various firearms, including the FN PS90 and CZ Scorpion. The experiment demonstrates that even significant layers of Flex Tape are easily penetrated by common calibers, highlighting the limitations of improvised ballistic materials. The video features expert handling and detailed explanations of firearm mechanics and ballistics.
