This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of common shovels against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The results demonstrate that even basic shovels can offer surprising protection, with multiple rounds failing to penetrate the first shovel. The test concludes with a .50 BMG round being stopped by the eighth shovel, indicating significant defensive potential for this everyday tool.
This video from Yee Yee Life features an experiment testing the ballistic resistance of hardened steel shovels against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The results show that while a single shovel can stop lower calibers like .22 LR and 9mm, higher-powered rounds require multiple shovels for complete penetration. The .50 BMG round, in particular, demonstrated significant power by penetrating seven shovels.
