Ultra security steel chain vs higher and higher caliber bullets

Published on December 10, 2024
Duration: 1:00

This video tests the durability of an ultra-security steel chain against various high-caliber firearms. While a .44 Magnum, 5.56 Green Tip, .450 Bushmaster, and a shotgun slug only damaged or cracked the chain links, a .30-06 Springfield round ultimately broke the chain. The experiment highlights the significant penetration power of rifle calibers compared to handgun and shotgun rounds against hardened steel.

Quick Summary

The .30-06 Springfield round was the only caliber tested that successfully broke open a link in the ultra-security steel chain, causing it to fall. Earlier tests with .44 Magnum, 5.56 Green Tip, .450 Bushmaster, and a shotgun slug resulted in cracks or damage but did not sever the chain.
