This experiment tests bullet deflection and glass behavior when shooting through a car window. The first 9mm shot from a Girsan Witness Match X 2011 deflected about an inch downward, with the tempered glass shattering but remaining in place. Visibility is severely impaired after the first shot, making subsequent aimed shots difficult.
This destructive testing video showcases the ballistic performance of a Henry .22 Magnum rifle against a car. Multiple rounds fired from the lever-action rifle penetrated the windshield and hood of a silver sedan, demonstrating the .22 WMR cartridge's effectiveness against automotive materials. The demonstration highlights the rifle's rapid-fire capability and the impact of rimfire rounds in a non-traditional test scenario.
This video tests the ballistic performance of the Bul Armory Axe FS pistol firing 9mm Sellier & Bellot ammunition through a car windshield. The test demonstrates significant bullet deflection and penetration, with a tight grouping observed on the target behind the glass. The shooter's expertise in firearm handling and recoil management is evident throughout the demonstration.
This YouTube video conducts a range test to evaluate the effects of .22LR ammunition impacting a truck windshield. The video aims to demonstrate what happens when this specific caliber is fired at a common automotive glass, providing a visual and practical assessment of its penetration capabilities in this scenario. It encourages viewers to subscribe and links to various playlists covering handgun reviews, long gun reviews, Second Amendment content, gear reviews, and more range tests.
This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Tesla Model X windshield against various projectiles. Non-lethal PepperBalls and archery arrows ricocheted due to the windshield's steep angle. A .22 LR bullet from a Glock 44 penetrated the glass but lost significant energy, failing to cause substantial damage beyond the entry point.
This video explores the practical application of shooting through automotive glass, a variable rarely encountered in standard firearm practice. The presenter modifies their 1989 Trooper by removing rear windows to conduct exploratory testing. The core of the video focuses on where bullets will travel and whether they maintain integrity when fired through vehicle glass at extreme angles from both the driver's and passenger's seats. The firearms used are a Heckler & Koch P7M8 9mm, and the ammunition tested includes G9 Bullets External Hollow Point and Asym Precision Defensive load, both featuring solid copper construction.
This video tests the Ravin R10 crossbow's penetration capabilities against a Cadillac Escalade windshield. The first shot with a Muzzy broadhead caused the blades to break but still penetrated the glass. A second shot with a sharper tip successfully pierced the windshield and penetrated 7-8 inches into phone books, demonstrating the crossbow's power.
This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring Matt Carriker, tests the effectiveness of various 12 gauge shotgun rounds against a Lamborghini windshield. The experiment highlights how the angle of impact significantly affects penetration, with birdshot failing at shallow angles but penetrating near-vertical glass. Slugs proved effective at shallow angles, while specialty rounds showed mixed results.
