DIY Bulletproof Tailgate That Works !
This video demonstrates a DIY approach to creating a bulletproof tailgate using common materials. The construction involves framing the tailgate, lining it with decking boards, and filling the cavity with approximately 3.5 inches of gravel. The effectiveness of this improvised armor was tested against various calibers, including 9mm, 12 gauge buckshot, 5.56x45mm, and .308 Winchester, with the gravel-filled tailgate successfully stopping all tested rounds. The project aims to provide a functional, albeit improvised, ballistic protection for a truck tailgate.
