This video demonstrates bullet penetration through a simulated tile floor and a hardwood floor. The instructor tests various calibers and ammunition types, including .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .32 ACP, 12 gauge buckshot, 7.62x39mm, and 5.56x45mm. Contrary to expectations, the tile floor, constructed with drywall, joist, subfloor, thin-set, concrete backer board, and tile, showed similar penetration resistance to the hardwood floor. The instructor concludes that standard flooring materials are not bulletproof and recommends ballistic steel or fabric for actual bullet resistance.
