Hardened Steel Lock vs Bigger and Bigger Guns…

This video explores the question of whether a common household item, a toilet seat, possesses bulletproof capabilities. The title suggests a practical or experimental approach to testing the ballistic resistance of this everyday object, likely in the context of firearm safety or curiosity. The content will likely involve testing various calibers or types of firearms against a toilet seat to determine its effectiveness as a projectile barrier.

This video features a "purely entertainment" test where a Master Lock is subjected to increasingly larger caliber bullets until it breaks. The channel owner, Cody, interrupts the demonstration by CajunBoyJake to express his disapproval of these "useless videos." The content promises to show the lock's durability against various calibers and includes a humorous interruption. Viewers are encouraged to comment on whether Cody should be allowed to make more entertainment videos.

A 10-inch pine log was tested as cover against various firearms. Handgun and shotgun rounds (9mm, 7.62x25mm, .22 LR, .32 ACP, 12-gauge birdshot, buckshot, slugs) were completely stopped. Rifle rounds (.223 Rem, 7.62x39mm, .308 Win) penetrated the log, with .308 showing significant energy loss and tumbling. The log is considered reliable cover for handguns but only concealment for rifles.

This video from Yee Yee Life conducts a compelling ballistic test, firing progressively powerful calibers into an engine block to assess penetration capabilities. The experiment demonstrates how even a .50 BMG round is ultimately stopped by the cast iron structure, highlighting the surprising resilience of the engine block. The host's enthusiastic approach and clear demonstrations provide valuable insights into projectile performance against dense materials.

This video compares the ballistic performance of a 16-inch barrel rifle versus a 4.4-inch barrel handgun using 9mm ammunition. The test reveals that despite the significant barrel length difference, both the handgun and rifle hollow points exhibited very similar terminal ballistics in gel, with only a minor difference in penetration depth. The FMJ round from the handgun penetrated significantly deeper than the hollow points from both firearms.

This video tests a single military sandbag's ability to stop various firearm calibers, from 9mm to .50 BMG. Handgun rounds and intermediate rifle calibers like 5.56 NATO and .450 Bushmaster were successfully stopped. However, the sandbag was completely penetrated by a .50 BMG round, highlighting its limitations against heavy anti-materiel ammunition.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. While smaller calibers and even .450 Bushmaster and .308 were stopped, the .50 caliber Armor Piercing Incendiary round successfully penetrated the bucket, destroying a dummy target behind it. The test highlights the significant difference in terminal effects between standard rifle rounds and specialized armor-piercing ammunition.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms rounds in a swimming pool, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. Surprisingly, higher velocity rifle rounds like the .223 and .308 fragmented quickly, while the .50 AE Desert Eagle traveled the furthest at 190 inches. The .50 BMG sniper rifle, despite its power, only penetrated 61 inches, likely due to massive energy displacement.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Secret Service Suburban window against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers and even a 10mm and .44 Magnum were stopped with varying degrees of damage, the window was eventually penetrated by a .50 BMG sniper rifle round. The testing provides a clear demonstration of the limits of armored vehicle glass against high-powered rifle threats.
