This experiment tests the penetration capabilities of various firearm calibers against a standard Picnic brand gas tank. Handguns (9mm, .45 ACP, .357 Magnum) and a shotgun failed to penetrate the tank, causing only superficial damage. However, a .308 Winchester round from a Remington 700 rifle successfully penetrated both sides of the tank, demonstrating that gas tanks can offer cover against smaller calibers but not high-powered rifle rounds.
