This video tests the effectiveness of a human shield, a tactic reportedly used by the Secret Service, against various ballistic threats. Using ballistic dummies, the experiment evaluates how different calibers, from .22 LR to .338 Lapua Magnum, penetrate a human shield and impact a protectee. The results indicate that while a human shield can significantly reduce damage or stop smaller calibers, it offers limited protection against high-powered rifle rounds.
