This video tests the penetration capabilities of 12 gauge 00 buckshot and bird shot against a Viking Professional door. The Mossberg 930 semi-auto shotgun was used for testing. The 00 buckshot, fired from 10 yards, failed to penetrate the door, creating an approximately 8-9 inch spread. Subsequent testing with Federal bird shot from 7 yards also resulted in no penetration, though it did indent the door's surface. The door proved exceptionally resilient, with neither ammunition type achieving full penetration.
