This video tests the penetration power of a Magnum Research BFR revolver chambered in .450 Marlin. The test involves shooting through the side of a van and then through the firewall and interior of the van. The .450 Marlin cartridge, while powerful, showed limitations against hardened targets, breaking up and failing to penetrate the firewall as effectively as anticipated.

This video tests the penetration power of the .380 ACP cartridge using a Walther PPK/S pistol and 95-grain FMJ Herder's ammunition. The test involves shooting through a vehicle door and firewall to assess projectile integrity and penetration depth. Results indicate the .380 ACP, while capable of passing through a door, struggled to penetrate the vehicle's firewall, suggesting limitations for certain defensive scenarios.

This video from The VSO Gun Channel tests the penetration capabilities of a 9mm Glock 19 with 115-grain Fiocchi ammunition against a vintage minivan. The test reveals that the 9mm round easily penetrates the quarter panel and interior of the van, passing through a target inside and exiting the other side. However, the round is stopped by the firewall, though it causes splintering of the interior upholstery. The test provides practical insights into the terminal ballistics of common 9mm ammunition against vehicle structures.

This video tests the penetration power of a .22 Long Rifle round fired from a Henry Silver Boy rifle into a 1981 Dodge minivan. The test involves shooting through the quarter panel and the firewall to assess the round's effectiveness. The results indicate that while the .22 LR can penetrate the quarter panel, it fails to pass through the other side of the vehicle, suggesting a degree of safety behind such a barrier. The firewall test shows similar penetration, with the bullet material remaining visible within the hole.
