This video experimentally tests the danger of bullet ricochets against a realistic human torso dummy. While point-blank tests with 9mm and 5.56mm showed minimal damage, glancing ricochets proved highly dangerous, causing fragmentation and significant trauma.

This ballistic test by Kentucky Ballistics explores if a standard residential air conditioner can serve as effective cover. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm are stopped by internal coils, larger rounds like .44 Magnum and .50 AE are often halted by the dense compressor unit. Even powerful rifle rounds struggle to penetrate the compressor, which acts as the only reliable stopping point, though it's a small target. The conclusion is that an AC unit offers poor ballistic protection.
