This video tests the ballistic resistance of concrete blocks against various calibers, from .22LR to .50 BMG. It demonstrates the significant penetration capabilities of larger calibers like the .50 BMG, which vaporized multiple blocks, highlighting its destructive potential against structures. The test also showcases the effectiveness of smaller calibers against concrete, with some rounds causing significant damage but failing to penetrate.

This video details an experiment testing the bullet-stopping capabilities of wet concrete. Lead Firearms Instructor Matt Carriker, demonstrating experienced authority, uses various firearms from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The results show wet concrete is surprisingly effective at stopping rounds up to .308 Winchester, with only the .50 BMG penetrating.

This video demonstrates how bullets behave when impacting hard surfaces like concrete, specifically focusing on ricochet and skipping. It highlights the importance of understanding projectile trajectory changes due to impact angle and surface composition, particularly in tactical scenarios like Close Quarters Battle (CQB). The demonstration shows that bullets can travel predictably along the surface axis, a phenomenon crucial for safety considerations when operating near walls or other hard structures.
