Duration: 16:20

This video tests the penetration power of various firearms against a large block of Lego baseplates, culminating with a .50 caliber sniper rifle. Results show a clear correlation between caliber and velocity with penetration depth, with the .50 BMG completely overwhelming the Lego structure. The experiment highlights how different ammunition types perform against a non-standard barrier.

Quick Summary

The .50 BMG sniper rifle completely penetrated over 125 Lego baseplates and the ballistic dummy. Among rifle calibers, the .223 round penetrated 70 baseplates, followed by the .308 at 66.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was the main goal of the Yee Yee Life video?

The primary goal was to determine how many Lego baseplates are needed to stop various firearm calibers, including a powerful .50 caliber sniper rifle. The experiment tested penetration capabilities against a large Lego structure.

Which caliber penetrated the most Lego baseplates in the test?

The .50 BMG sniper rifle completely penetrated over 125 Lego baseplates. Among the rifle calibers tested, the .223 round penetrated 70 baseplates, and the .308 penetrated 66.

How did the 9mm round perform compared to the .45 ACP?

The 9mm round, fired from a Glock 19, penetrated 25 Lego baseplates. The .45 ACP, fired from a 1911, penetrated fewer baseplates (20), indicating that velocity plays a significant role in penetration depth.

Did the .50 AE round from the Desert Eagle penetrate more than rifle rounds?

No, the .50 AE round penetrated 55 baseplates, which was less than the .223 (70 baseplates) and .308 (66 baseplates) rifle rounds tested. However, it significantly outperformed handgun calibers like the .44 Magnum and .45 ACP.
