This video tests the penetration capabilities of various rifle calibers against a 2000-pound concrete highway barrier. While smaller calibers like 9mm, 22 ARC, 5.56mm, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win, and .460 Magnum caused significant surface damage, none penetrated the barrier. The .50 BMG rifle, however, eventually penetrated the concrete after multiple shots, demonstrating its extreme power.

This video tests if a concrete highway barrier can stop a .50 caliber sniper rifle. After testing various suppressed calibers from 9mm up to .460 S&W Magnum, which caused significant damage but no penetration, the .50 caliber rifle was used. Three .50 caliber rounds were required to finally penetrate the 10-inch thick barrier, demonstrating its formidable stopping power against hardened structures.

An 80lb bag of dry Quikrete concrete mix was tested against several high-powered rifle and handgun rounds. While it successfully stopped .44 Magnum, .223, .450 Bushmaster, and .30-06 rounds, it was penetrated by a .50 Caliber round. The concrete bag exploded with most impacts but contained the projectiles, except for the .50 Cal.

This barrier test compares 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester using various materials like lumber, sand, concrete, and steel. While 6.5 Creedmoor penetrated lumber better, .308 Winchester showed superior performance against thicker steel plates, creating deeper craters. Both calibers were stopped by sand, and both penetrated concrete, leading to mixed results and a personal preference for .308 Winchester by the host for barrier penetration.

This video provides a comprehensive ballistic test of Hornady Critical Duty 9mm Luger 135 grain FlexLock ammunition against various hard barriers, including wood, glass, steel, and concrete. The tests, conducted by an experienced instructor, demonstrate the ammunition's 'barrier blind' design, showing its ability to penetrate these materials while maintaining terminal performance in ballistics gel. The concrete test proved the most challenging, resulting in fragmentation, while other barriers showed varying degrees of expansion and penetration.
