This video from Civilian Tactical tests the ballistic resistance of a solid obsidian ball against various calibers. The host, demonstrating high authority in the tactical niche, shows that obsidian can withstand handgun rounds like 12-gauge birdshot, .22 LR, and 9mm, with only surface damage or embedding. However, a high-velocity .223 Remington rifle round completely shatters the obsidian, indicating its limitations against rifle-caliber threats.
