This video demonstrates the destructive power of various calibers against a fire hydrant, starting with small-caliber handguns and progressing to high-powered .50 BMG rifles. The testing, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, highlights how smaller rounds like .22 LR and 9mm have minimal effect, while 7.62x39mm achieves penetration, and .50 BMG rounds cause catastrophic damage, ultimately splitting the hydrant in half. The experiment provides a visual comparison of ballistic impact across a wide range of firearm calibers.
