This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of various common firearm calibers through a stack of 1000 paper plates. It highlights how bullet energy and construction significantly affect penetration depth, with higher caliber rounds generally requiring more plates to stop. The experiment provides a visual, albeit informal, understanding of ballistic performance against a soft, uniform medium.
