This video tests whether firearms can breach locks, debunking movie myths. While smaller calibers like .22 LR to .44 Magnum cause cosmetic damage, only a Desert Eagle .50 AE successfully blew open a standard Master Lock. Hardened steel locks proved more resistant, requiring larger calibers like 12-gauge slugs and .50 BMG, which still didn't fully open them but caused significant damage.

This video tests the effectiveness of various calibers against a U.S. General padlock. Lower calibers like 12 Gauge birdshot, .22 LR, 9mm, 7.62x39, and .223 failed to penetrate or break the lock. The .50 BMG round, fired from a Raptor 50 rifle, was the only caliber successful in destroying the padlock.

This video tests the durability of Masterlock M175 combination padlocks against various firearm calibers. While .22LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP rounds caused damage, the locks remained functional. An AR-15 inflicted significant damage, but the lock stayed secured. Only a 12-gauge shotgun slug was able to destroy the lock and release the shackle.

This video features a 'Round 2' comparison, pitting the potent .44 Magnum caliber against a laminated padlock. The title suggests a durability test or destructive capability demonstration, likely exploring how effectively the .44 Magnum can breach or destroy the padlock. This is a classic 'ballistics vs. security' scenario often seen in firearm enthusiast content.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of using a firearm to breach a U.S. Military Sargent padlock. While a single shot did not fully penetrate the shackle, a second shot successfully opened the lock. The experiment highlights that targeting the shackle is significantly more effective than attacking the lock body, even with high-powered ammunition like M855 Green Tip.

This video tests the effectiveness of a Ramset powder-actuated nail gun against various Master Lock padlocks, including security levels 5, 7, and 9, as well as a budget lock. The nail gun successfully breached all locks, with higher security levels requiring more powerful loads and multiple strikes. A Glock 17 firing 9mm rounds was also tested, failing to open a Level 9 Master Lock, highlighting the nail gun's mechanical advantage for this specific destructive task.

This video tests the security of a Kryptonite New York Lock and motorcycle chain against various firearms. While 9mm and 5.7x28mm rounds failed to penetrate, an AK-47 and Kar98k eventually compromised the lock. The chain was easily defeated by a single .50 BMG round, highlighting the extreme power difference.

This video from the MrBigKid Channel tests whether firearms can open padlocks, a common trope in Hollywood films. The experiment involves shooting a variety of calibers, including a .22, 9mm, .308, and the powerful .338 Lapua Magnum, to see their effectiveness against padlocks. The title and description highlight the .338 Lapua Magnum as a potent sniper round. The video also promotes the MrBigKid social media channels and Patreon page.

This video explores the concept of improvised weapons, emphasizing that a prepared mindset is the most crucial tool for self-defense. It details how everyday objects like rolled magazines, Sharpie markers (with potential modifications), paracord with weights, padlocks and chains, and even credit cards can be repurposed into effective striking or defensive implements. The content highlights tactical pens and ASP batons as pre-planned options, noting their accessibility and effectiveness in various scenarios.

This video tests the durability of Master Lock padlocks against a .50 caliber BMG rifle. Despite multiple direct hits with Armor Piercing Incendiary Tracer rounds from a Serbu BFG-50A, the lock initially remained functional, demonstrating surprising resilience. The shackle was eventually bent and the lock destroyed after several shots, with recovered bullet fragments showing extreme deformation.
