This video pits various firearms and calibers against F-35 jet engine turbine blades, revealing surprising material resilience. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm have no effect, 5.7x28mm AP rounds chip the edge. Larger handgun rounds like .44 Magnum and .50 AE cause significant damage, shattering the brittle titanium, with the .500 Magnum cracking the blade. Rifle calibers like 7.62x54R and 5.56 NATO easily penetrate, while 7.62x39mm and 12 Gauge slugs cause blunt force trauma and shattering.
