This video pits various firearms, culminating in a massive 4 Bore rifle, against a 250-pound Atlas stone. While smaller calibers like .45 ACP and .44 Magnum only cause minor chipping, 5.56 NATO creates pits and .458 SOCOM begins to break off chunks. The 4 Bore, despite immense energy, heavily craters the stone but doesn't shatter it, requiring a jackhammer for final destruction.

This video tests the stopping power of various rifle calibers against a 200 lb rubber Atlas stone. Smaller calibers like 5.56 and 7.62x39 only caused surface marks. Even .308 and .30-06 failed to penetrate. The .416 Rigby successfully penetrated the stone, while the .458 Lott was stopped by the internal iron core. The .50 BMG also penetrated, with its second shot being stopped by the core.

This video demonstrates the destructive power of a BAR rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield against a 250 lb Atlas Stone. The test reveals that .30-06 rounds, both soft point and FMJ, are significantly more effective than 9mm rounds in similar tests, completely demolishing the stone. The content highlights the effectiveness of heavier calibers for destructive purposes.

This video tests the destructive capability of a Tippmann Armory 9mm Gatling Gun against a 250 lb Atlas stone. Despite firing approximately 450 rounds, the 9mm projectiles caused significant surface damage and dust but failed to penetrate or destroy the dense stone. The test highlights that larger calibers like .50 BMG or .500 Nitro Express are necessary for such a task, suggesting 9mm is insufficient for this type of destructive testing on dense, heavy targets.

This video pits a powerful 500 Nitro Express double-barrel elephant rifle against a 340 lb Atlas stone. After testing smaller calibers and a 500 S&W Magnum with minimal effect, the 500 Nitro Express, especially with brass solid rounds, begins to damage the stone. A simultaneous double-barrel shot ultimately shatters the stone, revealing it had a lightweight core.

This video pits .50 BMG SLAP rounds against a 340 lb Atlas stone, demonstrating extreme destructive testing. While smaller calibers like 9mm and .45 ACP had minimal effect, .44 Magnum and .500 S&W Magnum showed significant surface damage. The .50 BMG SLAP rounds penetrated deeply, and standard .50 BMG FMJ rounds eventually shattered the stone, revealing the SLAP round's tungsten cores.

This video demonstrates the destructive power of various firearms against a 105lb Atlas stone. It progresses from smaller calibers like 9mm and .50 AE, showing minimal damage, to rifle calibers like 7.62x39mm and 5.56mm, which cause significant chipping and cratering. The test culminates with a .338 Lapua Magnum and a .50 BMG, with the latter completely obliterating the stone, highlighting the immense power difference.
