This video from Edwin Sarkissian tests the ballistic resistance of a Boeing 777 black box against various firearms. The black box demonstrates remarkable durability, with most rounds failing to penetrate its internal armored core. The .45-70 Government cartridge with specialized penetrator rounds proved most effective at compromising the internal storage area.

This video demonstrates a practical, albeit extreme, test of a flight recorder's (black box) durability against firearm projectiles. Instructor Edwin Sarkissian uses a 9mm handgun, an AK-47, and a .50 caliber rifle with API rounds to assess the box's resistance. The results show the box is remarkably resilient, with projectiles being stopped or significantly impeded, leading to the conclusion that it is 'sort of bulletproof' due to its dense construction.
