This video demonstrates a practical, albeit informal, ballistics test to determine the penetration capabilities of various firearms against a large hay bale. The experiment, conducted by an enthusiast, systematically tests calibers from 9mm up to .50 BMG, using cardboard and drywall to mark entry and exit points. It effectively illustrates that while hay bales offer significant cover against most common rounds, they are insufficient against high-powered sniper rifle ammunition like the .50 BMG.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 1970s particle board dresser filled with clothes against various calibers. The dresser provided significant protection against .22LR, 9mm, and double-ought buckshot, but was penetrated by 7.62x39mm. The experiment highlights that while a dresser can offer concealment and some protection, it is not a reliable bulletproof barrier against rifle rounds.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of common household appliances against various firearm calibers, from .22LR to .45-70. The experiment aims to debunk Hollywood's portrayal of appliances as effective cover during gunfights. Findings indicate that most appliances offer minimal protection against common handgun and rifle rounds, with only certain calibers and specific appliance configurations showing any resistance.

This video features Naaming Kotchanok, a respected Thai firearms influencer, conducting an experiment to test the ballistic protection offered by a household refrigerator. Using a Sharp refrigerator and various firearms including a Derya pump-action shotgun, an AR-22, a 1911 pistol, and a lever-action rifle, she tests penetration with calibers ranging from .22 LR to 12 Gauge slugs. The results clearly demonstrate that a refrigerator offers concealment but not effective ballistic cover against common firearms.
