This video from Yee Yee Life conducts a practical, albeit informal, ballistics test to determine how many bamboo cutting boards are needed to stop various common bullet calibers. The experiment progresses from a .22 LR, which is stopped by the first board, up to a .50 BMG, which penetrates all eight boards. The host demonstrates safe handling and showcases a variety of firearms used in the tests, providing a visual comparison of bullet energy versus material resistance.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers through stacks of bamboo cutting boards. A suppressed HK MP5 in 9mm penetrated four boards, while larger calibers like .45 ACP, 5.56mm, 7.62x39mm, and .50 BMG demonstrated significantly more power, with the .50 BMG incendiary round penetrating 23 boards. The experiment highlights the varying ballistic performance of different firearms and ammunition types.
