Duration: 6:43

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of an AK-47 firing 7.62x39mm ammunition through multiple mini refrigerators filled with soda. The experiment highlights how the liquid medium affects projectile integrity and penetration depth, with some projectiles fragmenting upon impact with the soda and internal components. The instructor notes variations in exit performance based on whether the refrigerator was filled with soda or empty, and the presence of the compressor.

Quick Summary

An AK-47 firing 7.62x39mm ammunition was used to test penetration through five mini refrigerators, some filled with soda. The soda caused projectile fragmentation, reducing penetration compared to empty sections. Internal components like the compressor also affected bullet performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What caliber and firearm were used in the refrigerator penetration test?

The test utilized an AK-47 firing 7.62x39mm ammunition. This combination was chosen to assess its penetration capabilities through various materials and mediums, including soda and refrigerator components.

How did the soda affect the AK-47's projectiles?

The soda acted as a significant medium, causing some projectiles to fragment upon impact. This fragmentation reduced the overall penetration depth and integrity of the rounds compared to shooting through an empty space.

What was the purpose of shooting through mini refrigerators?

The experiment aimed to demonstrate the terminal ballistics and penetration power of the 7.62x39mm round from an AK-47 when encountering different resistances. It specifically compared performance through a liquid medium (soda) versus an empty space within the refrigerators.

Were any internal components of the refrigerators shot?

Yes, the experimenters attempted to avoid the compressor, but the projectiles did pass through various internal structures of the refrigerators. The compressor itself was noted as a potential obstacle that could stop or deform rounds.
