This video demonstrates a practical, albeit informal, test of bullet penetration through common building bricks using various firearms and calibers. From .22 LR to .50 BMG, the experiment visually showcases the significant differences in ballistic energy and stopping power. The presenter, Parker, offers an enthusiastic and knowledgeable approach, highlighting the destructive potential of each round.

This video compares the destructive power of the Desert Eagle in .50 AE and .44 Magnum calibers by shooting a line of bricks. While both calibers penetrated two bricks, the .50 AE demonstrated significantly more explosive force and energy transfer, indicated by a larger dust cloud. The .44 Magnum used Underwood 180-grain hollow points.

This video demonstrates a comparative ballistics test between 9mm and .45 ACP ammunition, specifically focusing on penetration capabilities against brick barriers. Using a Glock 26 for the 9mm rounds and an unspecified .45 ACP firearm, the experiment shows that the heavier, slower .45 ACP round with a 185-grain Hornady XTP hollow point achieved significantly greater penetration, passing through two bricks, while both 9mm FMJ and hollow-point rounds struggled to penetrate beyond the first brick. The test highlights how caliber, bullet weight, and bullet design influence terminal ballistics against hard barriers.
