An 80lb bag of dry Quikrete concrete mix was tested against several high-powered rifle and handgun rounds. While it successfully stopped .44 Magnum, .223, .450 Bushmaster, and .30-06 rounds, it was penetrated by a .50 Caliber round. The concrete bag exploded with most impacts but contained the projectiles, except for the .50 Cal.
This video tests the bullet resistance of standard granite countertops against various calibers. While .22 LR and 9mm rounds caused only minor marks or dents, a .44 Magnum round created a significant impact, causing spalling and a chunk to break off, but did not penetrate. A 12-gauge shotgun slug, however, completely penetrated the granite slab, demonstrating its limitations against higher-powered projectiles.
