In this experiment from Yee Yee Life, Parker tests the stopping power of a bowling ball against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. While the bowling ball effectively stops handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP, and even rifle rounds like 5.56 and .308, it is ultimately penetrated by the powerful .50 BMG round. The test highlights the significant difference in energy and penetration capabilities between different firearm calibers.
This video features an epic destruction test where bowling balls are shot with a variety of firearms, ranging from a .22LR to a .50 Cal BMG, in stunning slow motion.
