This video tests the ballistic resistance of standard car doors against various handgun calibers. A .22 LR and .380 ACP were stopped by the first door, while a .45 ACP fragmented after penetrating both. A 9mm round successfully penetrated both doors and hit the target mannequin, demonstrating that typical car doors offer limited protection against common handgun rounds.

This video from USCCA demonstrates the ballistic performance of various calibers against different parts of a vehicle. Instructors Micha da and Angel Cortez test 9mm, .45 ACP, 5.56x45mm, 12 gauge (slug, buckshot, birdshot), and 6.5 Creedmoor rounds. They highlight that doors and windows offer minimal protection, while structural pillars can sometimes stop or redirect rounds. The testing emphasizes that vehicle composition varies, and this data should inform defensive strategies.
