This video from Edwin Sarkissian tests the bullet resistance of traffic light poles, a common urban fixture. Using a variety of firearms from handguns like the Glock 19X and Desert Eagle to rifles like the Serbu BFG-50A, the experiment demonstrates that standard poles are surprisingly resilient. While common handgun and intermediate rifle rounds cause only superficial damage or fail to penetrate, the pole is ultimately defeated by a .50 BMG round, highlighting the significant difference in power between typical firearms and anti-materiel calibers.
