This video tests the penetration capabilities of large-caliber elephant rifles, specifically the .458 Lott, .500 Nitro Express, and the powerful .700 Nitro Express, against 7.5 inches of bulletproof glass. While the .458 Lott and .500 Nitro Express penetrated the first pane and stopped in the second, the .700 Nitro Express, despite shattering the first pane, was also stopped by it. A humorous skit and a 12-gauge cabbage test add entertainment.
