This ballistic test evaluates bulletproof drywall's resistance against increasing calibers. While 9mm, 10mm, and .44 Magnum rounds were stopped, the drywall failed to contain a 5.56mm Green Tip and a 12 Gauge slug, both of which penetrated the panel and a target dummy. The test highlights the significant difference in penetration power between pistol and rifle calibers.
This video tests the drywall penetration capabilities of a 70 lb Hoyt compound bow with three different arrow tips. A standard field tip achieved the best penetration, passing through four layers of drywall. A cheap Amazon broadhead failed after the first layer, and an expensive 350-grain Bishop broadhead also showed limited penetration, sticking in the second layer.
This video conducts a surprising penetration test comparing hollow point (HP) and full metal jacket (FMJ) .45 ACP rounds fired from a Rock Island Armory 1911. Contrary to common expectations, the hollow point round penetrated more sheets of drywall than the FMJ in this specific test. The host invites viewer feedback on this unexpected result.
This video conducts a drywall penetration test comparing various calibers and ammunition types to determine which is "safest" for home defense. The description explicitly states that AR-15s are considered safer than standard 9mm handguns. The video meticulously tests 9mm, 5.56/.223, .308/7.62x51, 300 Blackout, .22LR, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .410 revolver, and 12 Gauge shotgun loads, providing timestamps for each. Specific bullet types like FMJ, Gold Dot, HST, Frangible, Soft Point, Ballistics Tip, VMAX, M855 Green Tip, and slugs are tested, offering a detailed look at projectile performance through drywall.

This YouTube Short directly tests the effectiveness of birdshot ammunition against drywall, a common material found in homes. The video uses the hashtag #homedefense, suggesting the context is to evaluate how birdshot might perform in a defensive scenario within a residential environment. The title explicitly states "BIRDSHOT VS. DRYWALL #test #shorts," indicating a controlled experiment to observe penetration and impact characteristics. This content is highly relevant for individuals interested in home defense strategies and ammunition performance in domestic settings.
This short demonstrates the dramatic visual effects of Dragon's Breath 12-gauge shotgun shells, firing flaming magnesium pellets. The test involved shooting a custom drywall and 2x4 target wall from 10-15 yards. While visually impressive, the shells are not recommended for home defense due to extreme fire hazard, as confirmed by the significant damage and embedded pellets.
This ballistic test evaluates home defense ammunition through simulated interior walls. Small-caliber rifle rounds like .223/5.56mm frangible or varmint projectiles demonstrated superior performance, delivering maximum energy with minimal over-penetration risk. Traditional 12 Gauge buckshot and .45 ACP showed significant penetration concerns, while some 9mm rounds offered a better balance of stopping power and safety.
This video tests the FK BRNO 7.5mm handgun, described as one of the most powerful semi-automatic handguns, against various materials including meat, bone, drywall, and a car windshield. The objective is to determine if the firearm lives up to its reputation for power and performance. The video also includes links for donations to a local shelter and the content creator's Patreon page.
This video tests the penetration of 9mm hollow point and FMJ rounds through 29 sheets of drywall using a Glock 19. The FMJ penetrated 26 sheets, while the hollow point, after a feeding malfunction, penetrated 14 sheets. The hollow point created a significantly larger entry hole, indicating less penetration but greater expansion.
