Snowman VS Guns .22lr .45acp & 12 gauge

This video from Yee Yee Life tests how many rolls of toilet paper are required to stop various calibers of bullets, ranging from .22 LR to .50 AE. The experiment uses a target dummy named Fred and systematically fires different firearms into stacks of toilet paper to measure penetration depth. The results show a clear correlation between caliber size and penetration, with larger calibers requiring significantly more toilet paper to be stopped.

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 video provides a comparative analysis of 9mm and .380 ACP cartridges, focusing on their effectiveness in self-defense scenarios. It details ballistics testing, including penetration through sand, drywall, and steel, using various ammunition types like FMJ, Gold Dot, and XTP. The instructor, with apparent expertise in ballistics and firearms, demonstrates that while 9mm generally offers more muzzle energy and penetration, .380 ACP can still be effective, especially with modern self-defense ammunition, challenging the notion that .380 is significantly underpowered.

This video investigates the common belief that .22LR bullets 'bounce around' inside a target, causing more damage than larger calibers. Through high-speed footage of ballistic tests on pork shoulder, the presenter compares .22LR (CCI subsonic and Mini Mag) with 9mm hollow point, 5.56x45mm FMJ, and 00 buckshot. The tests suggest that while .22LR may not always exit, it doesn't exhibit significant ricocheting or tumbling behavior within the medium, unlike some larger calibers which show more energy transfer and fragmentation.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of the .50 BMG cartridge, specifically when fired from a Caruna Firearm Raptor .50, against multiple pumpkins. The experiment aims to determine how many pumpkins a single .50 BMG round can effectively penetrate before losing significant energy or deviating. The results highlight the extreme power of the .50 BMG round and the complex nature of ballistics when encountering multiple barriers.

This video provides a detailed comparison between the 338 Arc and 300 Blackout cartridges, focusing on their performance in ballistics testing. The presenter, Tony D2 Wild, demonstrates and analyzes the terminal ballistics of both supersonic and subsonic rounds from each caliber using FBI-grade perma gel. The content highlights the developmental stages of the 338 Arc and its potential, while also acknowledging the established role of 300 Blackout.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides a practical, albeit unconventional, comparison of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The expert demonstrates varying levels of terminal performance, from the .22LR's significant splitting to the .45 ACP's complete watermelon fragmentation, highlighting the differences in hydraulic shock and expansion. The test utilizes specific hollow-point ammunition, including Speer Gold Dot, Aguila Super Maximum, and Underwood XTP, showcasing their effects.

This video provides a practical, safety-conscious comparison of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, details the testing methodology and results, emphasizing the risks of ricochet. None of the tested pistol calibers fully penetrated the concrete block's second wall, suggesting their limitations for certain penetration scenarios.

This review of the Taurus TX22 .22 LR pistol details its features, including a 16+1 capacity and excellent trigger. While initial testing with CCI Mini-Mags was flawless, subsequent tests with various ammunition types revealed cycling issues and culminated in a catastrophic failure. The failure was attributed to a squib load followed by a second shot, causing a barrel bulge and ruptured casing, highlighting potential ammunition inconsistencies. The review provides a detailed look at disassembly and damage assessment.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides an experimental comparison of three popular rimfire calibers: .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR, using cantaloupes as ballistic mediums. The host, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the distinct terminal ballistics of each round, highlighting how bullet construction and velocity affect target interaction. The comparison offers practical insights into the performance differences between these rimfire cartridges on soft tissue simulants.
