This video details a ballistics test conducted by Civilian Tactical, evaluating the penetration capabilities of various calibers through a two-foot water barrier. The host, a firearms content creator, demonstrates how rounds from Birdshot up to .50 BMG interact with water. Notably, smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm were stopped, while larger rifle rounds like .308 and the .50 BMG achieved significant penetration, causing substantial water displacement and structural damage. The experiment highlights the effectiveness of water as a barrier against certain ammunition types while emphasizing the power of high-energy rounds.
This guide details an experimental procedure for testing the ballistic resistance of water against .50 BMG rifle rounds, as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. It covers setup, firing, and analysis, highlighting the unpredictable nature of projectile behavior when impacting water. The experiment aims to determine if a swimming pool filled with water can stop high-caliber rounds, with a focus on safety and observation.
