This YouTube video description indicates a test of a plate's durability, implying it was subjected to impacts beyond its intended limits, yet it did not fail. The creator promises more testing to come and provides a link to the full test video. The title "Why did this plate get a hole in it? (this shoudn't happen)" is somewhat contradictory to the description stating it didn't fail, suggesting the title might be clickbait or the hole was caused by something unexpected within the test parameters.
This experiment tests a 1/2 inch thick ULINE metal docking plate against various handgun and rifle calibers. While it stopped 9mm, .45 ACP, and .44 Magnum rounds, the .223 Remington rifle round successfully penetrated the plate. The .44 Magnum caused significant deformation and bulging on the back of the plate.
