Bulletproof testing drywall with different guns

This destructive ballistics test compares alloy wheels against steel wheels using various calibers from .22 LR to 5.7x28mm. Alloy wheels proved more brittle and easier to penetrate, while steel wheels offered superior protection against most rounds. High-velocity rounds like .17 HMR and 5.7x28mm, along with slugs, were capable of penetrating both wheel types.

This video tests the bullet penetration capabilities of drywall against various calibers, from .22 LR to .308 Winchester. Key findings include that 9mm penetrates significantly more drywall than .22 LR or 5.56 Green Tip, while .308 Winchester shows the deepest penetration. The test highlights the importance of understanding over-penetration for home defense scenarios, emphasizing that even seemingly less powerful rounds can travel through multiple layers of common building materials.

This video tests the bullet-stopping capabilities of a decommissioned electrical transformer filled with vegetable oil. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm caused minor damage, larger handgun rounds like .45 ACP and .357 Magnum showed varying degrees of penetration. Rifle calibers (.223 and .30-06) easily penetrated the casing, and the .50 BMG round caused the transformer to explode, demonstrating its ineffectiveness against high-powered firearms.

This test investigates whether .22 LR tracer rounds continue to burn after impact, using ballistic gelatin as a human analog. The experiment confirms that tracer rounds ignite and remain burning inside the gel, creating significant internal damage. The findings suggest that tracers would cause severe burns and internal injury if they impacted a human.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a lava rock against various firearm calibers. While smaller rounds like .410 birdshot and .22 LR only cause minor surface damage, larger calibers like .380 Auto and 9mm embed their projectiles. The .223 caliber cracks the rock, and the 7.62x39 round breaks off a significant chunk, demonstrating that even natural materials can offer some projectile resistance, though not true bulletproofing against rifle rounds.

This video tests the projectile resistance of a giant jawbreaker candy against various firearm calibers. While birdshot and .22 LR cause superficial damage, .380 Auto and 9mm rounds significantly fracture the candy. High-powered rifle rounds like 7.62x39 and 6.5 Creedmoor completely obliterate the jawbreaker, demonstrating the vast difference in destructive power between handgun and rifle cartridges.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. While smaller calibers and even .450 Bushmaster and .308 were stopped, the .50 caliber Armor Piercing Incendiary round successfully penetrated the bucket, destroying a dummy target behind it. The test highlights the significant difference in terminal effects between standard rifle rounds and specialized armor-piercing ammunition.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms rounds in a swimming pool, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. Surprisingly, higher velocity rifle rounds like the .223 and .308 fragmented quickly, while the .50 AE Desert Eagle traveled the furthest at 190 inches. The .50 BMG sniper rifle, despite its power, only penetrated 61 inches, likely due to massive energy displacement.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Secret Service Suburban window against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers and even a 10mm and .44 Magnum were stopped with varying degrees of damage, the window was eventually penetrated by a .50 BMG sniper rifle round. The testing provides a clear demonstration of the limits of armored vehicle glass against high-powered rifle threats.
