Pistols vs full Oxygen Tanks

Published on December 14, 2022
Duration: 27:57

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various pistol calibers against full oxygen tanks at approximately 150-160 yards. Despite using a wide array of handguns, from small calibers like .22 LR to powerful rounds such as .50 AE and .45-70 Government, none were able to penetrate the steel casing of the oxygen tanks. The testing highlights the robust nature of the tanks and the limitations of standard handgun rounds against such thick steel.

Quick Summary

No standard pistol caliber, including .50 AE and .45-70 Government, could penetrate a full oxygen tank at 150-160 yards. Even high-velocity rounds like 5.7x28mm and powerful magnums only caused surface dents and ricochets on the steel casing.
