This video tests the ballistic resistance of a cast iron sewer lid against various calibers, from .22 LR to a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm caused only minor surface damage, a 12 gauge slug deformed and fragmented, embedding in the backing. The 7.62 SCAR penetrated a mannequin behind the lid, but the lid itself remained largely intact. Ultimately, the .50 BMG sniper rifle successfully penetrated the sewer lid, demonstrating its extreme power.
