Level 10 Masterlock vs different caliber bullets

Published on October 24, 2024
Duration: 1:00

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Level 10 Masterlock against various calibers. Surprisingly, even powerful rounds like 9mm, .45 ACP, and .44 Magnum only cause minor dents. A 5.56 green tip round significantly deforms the lock but doesn't penetrate, and a 12-gauge slug creates a large crater but leaves the lock functional and closed.

Quick Summary

A Level 10 Masterlock was subjected to ballistic testing with calibers including 9mm, .45 ACP, 5.56mm, and 12-gauge slugs. While 5.56 rounds deformed the lock and slugs created craters, the lock remained functional and closed throughout the tests.
