This video tests the bullet resistance of a 100oz pure silver bar against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers cause minimal damage, larger rifle rounds like 5.56 NATO and .300 Win Mag penetrate significantly. The bar is ultimately defeated by a .50 BMG round, demonstrating that despite its density, silver is not bulletproof against high-powered anti-materiel rifles.
