Gatling Gun vs Atlas Stone (250 lbs!!!)

Published on August 31, 2021
Duration: 12:27

This video tests the destructive capability of a Tippmann Armory 9mm Gatling Gun against a 250 lb Atlas stone. Despite firing approximately 450 rounds, the 9mm projectiles caused significant surface damage and dust but failed to penetrate or destroy the dense stone. The test highlights that larger calibers like .50 BMG or .500 Nitro Express are necessary for such a task, suggesting 9mm is insufficient for this type of destructive testing on dense, heavy targets.

Quick Summary

A 9mm Gatling Gun fired approximately 450 rounds at a 250 lb Atlas stone. The 9mm rounds fragmented on impact, causing surface erosion and dust, but failed to penetrate or destroy the dense stone, indicating larger calibers are needed.
