This comprehensive test, led by experienced firearms instructors from Classic Firearms, compares the real-world penetration of 9mm and .300 Blackout ammunition. Using common barriers like drywall, car doors, and Level 3A body armor, the video provides critical insights into terminal ballistics and over-penetration risks relevant to self-defense and law enforcement applications. The expert analysis emphasizes shot placement and target awareness due to the significant energy differences observed.

This video from Civilian Tactical provides a practical, albeit informal, test comparing the penetration capabilities of .380 Auto, 9mm, and .45 ACP rounds through a car door. The host, demonstrating high expertise, shows that .45 ACP achieved the most significant penetration, while 9mm and .380 Auto were less effective, with the 9mm being stopped by the first door. The test highlights the ballistic trade-offs between different calibers in a real-world scenario.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test comparing the penetration capabilities of birdshot, buckshot, and a 12-gauge slug against a car door. The results show that while birdshot had minimal effect, buckshot began to penetrate, and the slug created a clean, large hole, significantly damaging the interior. The test highlights the distinct effectiveness of different shotgun ammunition types for external threats.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of different 12 gauge shotgun rounds through a car door. Birdshot disfigured the paint but did not penetrate. Buckshot penetrated the first door and hit targets inside, but did not fully penetrate the second door. A 12 gauge slug created a clean hole and easily penetrated both doors and a target.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various .22LR ammunition types through a car door. It demonstrates that while some .22LR rounds can penetrate a car door, they may not always achieve full pass-through or incapacitate a target behind it, especially with standard rounds. Faster, heavier, or specialized rounds show increased penetration potential.

This guide details a ballistics test demonstrating how hard barriers can cause hollowpoint ammunition to clog, preventing expansion and significantly increasing penetration. The test, conducted by CajunBoyJake, shows a clogged hollowpoint acting like an FMJ, penetrating further than an expanded round. This highlights critical considerations for self-defense scenarios involving vehicles.

This video provides a practical, albeit informal, ballistics test comparing 9mm and .45 ACP rounds against a car door. The host, an enthusiast, demonstrates the penetration capabilities of a Glock 19 (9mm) and a 1911 (.45 ACP), noting surprising results for the .45 ACP in this specific scenario. The content highlights the use of common tactical accessories like red dot sights and weapon lights.

This guide details an experiment testing the ballistic performance of a car door against various firearms, including an AR-15, AK-47, and Walther PPQ handgun. Conducted by Jason Hanson, a professional firearms instructor, the test reveals that car doors offer concealment, not reliable cover, against rifle rounds and are inconsistent against handgun rounds. The findings emphasize the importance of understanding the difference between cover and concealment in self-defense scenarios.

This video from 704 Tactical demonstrates the ballistic performance of the 5.7x28mm round fired from a Diamondback DBX pistol. The test involves shooting through a car door into a block of clay to assess penetration and energy transfer. The host, identified as a Firearms Reviewer and Content Creator, uses proper firearm handling and ballistic testing media to showcase the round's capabilities, noting its significant energy dissipation upon impact.

This video from 704 Tactical demonstrates the ballistic performance of the Smith & Wesson Model 500 chambered in .500 S&W Magnum when fired through a car door into ballistic gel. The test highlights the immense power and penetration capabilities of this large-caliber revolver, showcasing the bullet's impact and terminal effects within the vehicle's interior. The content is presented by a firearms enthusiast and content creator, offering an experimental look at handgun terminal ballistics.

This video conducts an extensive real-world ballistics test of the Mosin Nagant rifle chambered in 7.62x54R. The test evaluates the round's penetration through various materials including paper, wood, aluminum, cinder blocks, concrete, steel beams, and car doors, comparing its performance to the .338 Lapua Magnum. The results provide practical insights into the effectiveness of the 7.62x54R cartridge against different barriers.

This video tests the penetration power of a Bear compound bow, set at a 62-pound draw weight, against various targets. The bow, a beginner's model, demonstrates significant power, penetrating multiple water jugs and sporting clays. It also shows impressive, though not complete, penetration on a car door but fails to penetrate level 3A body armor. The experiment highlights the effectiveness of water for stopping projectiles and the surprising resilience of car windows.
