This video details an experimental test comparing the penetration power of an Excalibur Micro Edition crossbow against a Boeing 737 cockpit door. The crossbow, with a 280 lb draw weight, successfully penetrates the Kevlar-reinforced door, demonstrating significant ballistic capability. The test also includes a secondary target to visualize residual energy, offering insights into the effectiveness of archery equipment against armored barriers. Instruction is provided by Edwin Sarkissian, a high-engagement ballistics and firearms content creator.

This video provides an expert-level demonstration of the ballistic resistance of a Boeing 737 cockpit door against various handgun and rifle calibers. The instructor, Edwin Sarkissian, showcases the door's construction and tests its integrity with rounds ranging from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The results indicate the door offers significant protection against common handgun rounds but can be penetrated by certain rifle calibers, particularly .50 BMG.
