This video tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms, from handguns to a .50 caliber sniper rifle, against a 20-inch wide oak tree. Surprisingly, even the .50 caliber API rounds were stopped by the tree's density, demonstrating its effectiveness as cover. The host, Parker, conducts the tests with a high-energy, enthusiastic approach.

This penetration test compares various rifle calibers against trees of different diameters. The 5.45x39mm consistently penetrated smaller trees, while larger calibers like .308 Winchester required high volume fire to breach a 2.5-foot diameter tree. The test highlights that only very thick trees (6ft+) offer reliable cover against rifle rounds.
