This video tests the ballistic resistance of a large tin foil ball against various calibers. Smaller rounds like .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP were stopped, with only minor penetration. Higher velocity rounds like the .223 from an AR-15 and a 12 Gauge slug successfully penetrated or significantly damaged the ball, demonstrating the effectiveness of increased power and velocity against softer targets.

Quick Summary

A large tin foil ball was tested against various firearm calibers. It stopped .22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, and .44 Magnum rounds. However, a .223 round from an AR-15 penetrated completely, and a 12 Gauge slug tore through the back but was contained.
