Videos tagged with Drywall Penetration

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers through stacked drywall sheets. It demonstrates how different bullet types and calibers perform against this common building material, offering a practical, albeit unconventional, look at projectile energy transfer and stopping power.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics demonstrates a practical drywall penetration test for common 12-gauge shotgun home defense loads. Instructor Scott uses a Mossberg 500/590 shotgun to test #8 Birdshot, 00 Buckshot, and a 1oz Slug against a drywall setup backed by water jugs. The results clearly illustrate the varying over-penetration risks associated with each load type in a residential environment.

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 conducts a power test on the Evanix ViperX .30 caliber semi-automatic air pistol. The test involves shooting through one, two, and three sheets of drywall using H&N 50-grain slugs and JSB Hades pellets to assess penetration capabilities.

This video from Iraqveteran8888 discusses the suitability of AR-15 platforms for home defense, offering insights from an experienced firearms instructor. It delves into the pros and cons, particularly concerning projectile penetration through common household materials like drywall and the effectiveness against body armor. The discussion emphasizes responsible ammunition selection and practical considerations for home defense setups.

This video demonstrates a second test of a 5.56 round's penetration through drywall. The projectile unexpectedly spun and exited backwards, indicating unpredictable terminal ballistics. The test highlights the importance of understanding projectile behavior after impact, especially in scenarios where unintended ricochets or over-penetration could occur.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of a 5.56x45mm NATO round through drywall. The test involved shooting a stack of 72 drywall sheets, revealing that the projectile was stopped after penetrating approximately 40 layers, lodging into layer 32. The projectile itself showed minimal damage, with only a slightly blunted tip.

This short video demonstrates the penetration capability of a 9mm Glock 19 through 30 layers of drywall. The projectile successfully penetrated 22 layers, with the slug remaining intact, indicating good structural integrity. The presenter notes that 5.56mm would likely achieve greater penetration.

This video conducts a practical drywall penetration test to evaluate the over-penetration risks of various handgun and rifle calibers commonly considered for home defense. The experiment simulates interior walls, testing different ammunition types like hollow points, full metal jackets, and specialized defensive rounds. Key findings suggest that certain defensive loads in calibers like .223 Remington can be safer than some 9mm options due to controlled expansion and fragmentation, significantly reducing penetration depth.

This video demonstrates the extreme penetration power of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Barrett M107/M82A1, by firing it through multiple drywall panels. The host, a firearms enthusiast, highlights the bullet's ability to pass through all five panels and begin tumbling, showcasing its significant terminal ballistics. The content emphasizes that while powerful, such rifles are impractical for home defense.

This video presents Scott's top five home defense weapons, featuring a 10 gauge double-barrel shotgun, an Ohio Ordinance HCAR rifle in .30-06, a Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum revolver, a 12 gauge Street Sweeper shotgun, and a 10 Point Viper S400 crossbow. Each weapon is tested for its effectiveness against inanimate targets and through drywall into ballistic gel, demonstrating penetration and pattern density.

This video conducts a ballistic test to determine if a .22 caliber bullet can penetrate drywall. The content focuses on the practical application of ballistics, exploring the projectile's ability to pass through a common household building material. It aims to provide viewers with a clear understanding of the penetration capabilities of this specific ammunition type when fired at drywall.
