This video from Kentucky Ballistics tests the bullet resistance of a 22-pound steel mug against a wide array of firearms, from .22LR to .577 Tyrannosaur and .50 BMG. The presenter, Scott, systematically fires each caliber at the mug, documenting the impact and penetration. While smaller calibers like .22LR and 5.7mm had no effect, larger handgun rounds like .44 Magnum and .460 S&W Magnum began to dent and deform the mug.
