This experiment, led by an experienced firearms instructor, tests the penetration and impact of various calibers (.22 Magnum, .380 Auto, 9mm, .45 ACP, and 7.62x39mm from an AK-47) on a layer of ice. The results demonstrate a clear correlation between caliber size and the severity of ice fracturing and hole creation, with larger calibers causing significantly more damage.
