Frequently Asked Questions

Can you actually shoot down the barrel of someone else's gun?

While it's a common movie trope, physically shooting down an opponent's gun barrel is extremely difficult and unreliable. This test shows that impacts can occur, but they risk damaging your own firearm and are unlikely to reliably disable the target weapon.

What happens if you shoot the barrel of another gun?

Shooting the barrel of another gun can cause significant damage. This experiment revealed lead fragments inside the breech and damage to the muzzle crown and bore, potentially rendering both firearms inoperable or unsafe.

Is shooting down an enemy's barrel a valid self-defense tactic?

No, attempting to shoot down an opponent's gun barrel is not a recommended or reliable self-defense tactic. The risks of firearm damage, unpredictable projectile behavior, and the sheer difficulty make it impractical and dangerous.

What kind of firearms were used in the barrel test?

The test involved a Rossi RB22, a youth .22 practice rifle, as the target, and a highly precise Volquartsen Custom .22 rifle equipped with Woox Furiosa furniture for the shooting.
