This video tests the ballistic resistance of Boeing 777 black boxes against various firearms. While smaller caliber rounds like .32 ACP and 9mm cause only superficial damage, larger calibers and rifle rounds demonstrate significant penetration. The .45-70 Government with Underwood Extreme Penetrator rounds proved most effective at compromising the internal data storage.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a flight recorder (black box) against various firearms. A 9mm handgun was stopped by the outer casing. An AK-47 penetrated a thinner section but was stopped by thicker parts. .50 caliber API rounds caused significant damage and fire but were largely contained within the box, suggesting extreme density makes it 'sort of bulletproof'.
