This experiment tests the penetration capabilities of a 70-pound bow against bulletproof drywall using three different arrow tips. None of the tested tips, including a field tip, stainless steel broadhead, and a 350-grain big game broadhead, could fully penetrate the drywall. The tests highlight the limitations of arrow penetration against specialized materials, even with significant draw weight.
This ballistic test evaluates bulletproof drywall's resistance against increasing calibers. While 9mm, 10mm, and .44 Magnum rounds were stopped, the drywall failed to contain a 5.56mm Green Tip and a 12 Gauge slug, both of which penetrated the panel and a target dummy. The test highlights the significant difference in penetration power between pistol and rifle calibers.
This video tests the ballistic resistance of specialized drywall panels designed for home defense. While the panels effectively stopped various pistol rounds (.22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, .357 Magnum) and a 12-gauge shotgun slug, they were penetrated by rifle calibers like 5.56 NATO and 7.62x39mm, as well as the powerful .500 S&W Magnum. The panels are constructed from woven fibers, likely Kevlar, and are suitable for handgun threats but not high-velocity rifle rounds.
