Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers were tested against the Lamborghini tires?

The experiment tested three calibers: 9mm fired from a Glock 19X, .50 BMG from a Barrett M107, and .338 Lapua Magnum from an Accuracy International AWM rifle. Each caliber showed distinct penetration capabilities.

How did the .50 BMG perform against the tires?

The .50 BMG rounds demonstrated extreme penetration, easily passing through all four stacked Lamborghini tires. The test also showed visible incendiary effects and significant destruction caused by the tumbling rounds.

Which caliber was least effective against the tires?

The 9mm round, fired from a Glock 19X, was the least effective, being completely stopped by the very first Lamborghini tire in the stack. This highlights the vast difference in energy and penetration compared to larger calibers.

What were the results for the .338 Lapua Magnum?

The .338 Lapua Magnum, fired from an AWM rifle, showed intermediate penetration. It successfully penetrated three out of the four stacked Lamborghini tires, demonstrating more power than the 9mm but less than the .50 BMG.
