This video tests the ballistic resistance of solid wood and steel exterior doors against various firearms and a compound bow. Neither door proved truly bulletproof, with all tested handgun and rifle calibers penetrating both. The steel door's peephole was identified as a weak point. While the wood door stopped an arrow, the steel door did not, suggesting wood offers slightly better resistance to lower-velocity projectiles.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of a 12-gauge shotgun against a solid wood door using birdshot, buckshot, and slugs. Birdshot only caused surface dents, while buckshot fully penetrated, demonstrating its barrier-blind nature. A slug created a massive hole, showing maximum penetration and energy transfer.
