This video tests the ballistic penetration of a reinforced cinderblock wall against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG sniper rifle. The wall, filled with Quikrete, successfully stopped handgun rounds (.22 LR to .44 Magnum) and intermediate rifle rounds (5.56mm, .308), with the 5.56mm penetrating about 3 inches. However, the .50 BMG round completely penetrated the wall, hitting the target dummy.
