Which Caliber Can Bust Open a Lock?
This video tests the effectiveness of various calibers against high-security Brinks padlocks. It demonstrates that smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm are largely ineffective, while rifle rounds like 5.56mm and .44 Magnum cause significant damage but may not immediately breach the lock. High-power rounds like 12 Gauge slugs and .50 BMG prove capable of complete destruction.
