Bulletproof House Walls!!! (vs BIGGEST Guns)

Published on June 7, 2022
Duration: 13:24

This video tests the bulletproof capabilities of various wall constructions against multiple firearms, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. Standard walls failed against most calibers, while walls reinforced with ceramic/Kevlar and sand proved effective against rifle rounds. The sand-filled wall was the most effective and cheapest solution for stopping high-powered handgun and rifle rounds, though it was penetrated by .50 BMG.

Quick Summary

Sand-filled walls were found to be the most effective and cheapest solution for bulletproofing against common firearms like 9mm pistols, AR-15s, and shotguns. While ceramic/Kevlar walls also performed well, sand offered superior protection for its cost, though even sand was penetrated by .50 BMG rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials were tested for bulletproofing walls?

The experiment tested a baseline wall (siding, plywood, foam, drywall), a wall filled with reams of computer paper, a wall with ceramic tiles and Kevlar, and a wall filled with sandbags. The sand-filled wall proved most effective.

Which firearms were used to test the bulletproof walls?

The tests included a Ruger 10/22 (.22 LR), Glock 19 (9mm hollow point), BCM AR-15 (5.56mm), Winchester 1897 (12-gauge buckshot), AK-47 (7.62x39mm), Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum (.500 S&W Magnum), and a .50 BMG rifle.

What was the most effective bulletproofing material found?

The sand-filled wall demonstrated the highest effectiveness, successfully stopping rounds from most tested firearms, including 5.56mm rifle rounds and .500 S&W Magnum. It was also identified as the cheapest option.

Can standard house walls stop bullets?

No, standard house walls constructed with siding, plywood, foam insulation, and drywall are not sufficient to stop most firearm rounds, even smaller calibers like .22 LR, as shown in the initial tests.
