This video tests the ballistic resistance of an RTS Tactical steel shield against various handgun and rifle calibers. While smaller rounds like .22 WMR, 9mm, 10mm, and 5.7x28mm caused only surface marks or minor dings, heavier calibers like 7.62x54R began to crack the steel. High-powered rounds such as .338 Lapua Magnum easily penetrated the shield, demonstrating its limitations against military-grade sniper cartridges.

Quick Summary

The RTS Tactical steel shield demonstrated impressive resistance, stopping calibers like .22 WMR, 9mm, 10mm, 5.7x28mm, and .357 Magnum. While 5.56x45mm caused surface damage, 7.62x54R began cracking the steel, and .338 Lapua Magnum achieved full penetration.
