Frequently Asked Questions

Can airguns be more powerful than 9mm firearms?

Yes, high-power big-bore airguns like the AEA Zeus .72 caliber can significantly exceed the destructive power of a 9mm firearm. In tests, the .72 caliber air rifle completely obliterated a cinder block with a single shot, a feat far beyond what a 9mm handgun achieved in the same test.

How did the AEA HP Max 45 perform against a cinder block?

The AEA HP Max 45 airgun, chambered in .45 caliber and producing around 300 foot-pounds of energy, demonstrated impressive power by completely crumbling a cinder block in just two shots. This performance surpassed that of a 9mm handgun in the same destructive test.

What was the baseline test for cinder block destruction?

The baseline test used a .22 LR rifle firing 40-grain bullets at 1200 FPS. Ten rapid shots caused visible damage and some penetration but failed to destroy the cinder block, serving as a low-power reference before testing the 9mm and larger airguns.

How many shots did it take for a 9mm to destroy a cinder block?

In the comparison test, a standard 9mm handgun using practice ammunition required nineteen shots to eventually cause a cinder block to crumble into rubble. This established the benchmark for 'firearm power' against the target material.
