This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 100-year-old bank safe against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm only chip paint, larger rounds like the .50 AE and 12 Gauge slug cause significant damage but do not penetrate. The .50 BMG round, however, easily pierces both doors and a ballistic dummy.
