Launching baseballs with different caliber bullets ⚾️🔫

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of various common firearm calibers through stacked porcelain tiles. It provides a visual comparison of how different rounds, from a .22 LR up to a .50 BMG, interact with this material, highlighting the significant differences in stopping power and projectile energy.

This ballistic test compares .45 ACP Corbon Powerball and 9mm Barnes XPD ammunition fired at 10 meters into ballistic gelatin. The .45 ACP demonstrated significant wound cavitation, with material exiting the front, while the 9mm showed less cavitation but penetrated slightly further. The test highlights the trade-offs between expansion and penetration, and the .45 ACP's polymer ball is noted as a potential solution for firearms with feeding issues with traditional hollow points.

This video demonstrates advanced firearm handling and reloading techniques for semi-automatic pistols, including the Bersa Thunder 380, Bersa TPR 380 Plus, and various 1911 models. The shooter showcases proficient magazine indexing, fast slide manipulation, controlled recoil management, and accurate target transitions during rapid fire sequences at an outdoor range. The demonstration highlights efficient reloading under pressure, emphasizing speed and accuracy.

This ballistic test compares .45 ACP and 9mm ammunition performance in ballistic gelatin. The .45 ACP Corbonne Powerball created a larger temporary cavity and stopped within 12-13 inches, while the 9mm Barnes PD penetrated slightly further. The instructor highlights the importance of controlled penetration to avoid hitting non-combatants and notes the polymer ball in the Corbonne Powerball can aid feeding in certain firearms.

This video demonstrates a ballistic comparison between .45 ACP and 9mm ammunition fired at approximately 10 meters into ballistic gelatin. The .45 ACP Cor-Bon PowerBall (165 grain) created a larger permanent cavity and significant temporary cavitation, with some material exiting the front. The 9mm Barnes X PD (115 grain) from a SIG P320 resulted in less cavitation and penetrated about an inch or two past the first block. The presenter notes the .45 ACP round stopped around 12-13 inches, highlighting its reduced risk of over-penetration compared to the 9mm in this test.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a large rubber band ball against various calibers of bullets, from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The experiment demonstrates that while the rubber band ball can stop smaller calibers and even slugs and rifle rounds to some extent, it is ultimately overwhelmed by higher-powered ammunition like the .30-06 and .50 BMG, with the latter completely destroying the ball and its target.

This video demonstrates the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. The test, conducted by an experienced individual, shows that while smaller calibers cause minimal damage, larger rounds like the .50 BMG API can penetrate the bucket. The footage provides visual evidence of impact effects and the destructive potential of different ammunition types.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an experienced host testing the ballistic penetration of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, in an Intex swimming pool. The host demonstrates proper firearm safety and provides detailed measurements of bullet penetration depths, offering unique insights into how different rounds interact with water as a medium. The results highlight significant variations in penetration based on caliber and velocity.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Secret Service Suburban window against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers and even a 10mm and .44 Magnum were stopped with varying degrees of damage, the window was eventually penetrated by a .50 BMG sniper rifle round. The testing provides a clear demonstration of the limits of armored vehicle glass against high-powered rifle threats.
