This video from Demolition Ranch, featuring Matt Carriker, tests several 'bulletproof' movie myths. It demonstrates the effectiveness of various materials against different calibers, from a challenge coin stopping a 9mm to bricks stopping AK-47 rounds. The testing highlights that while some materials may stop a projectile, the kinetic energy transfer can still cause severe injury, and the durability of cover varies significantly with material and caliber. The video also briefly showcases the Canik SFx Rival and Rival-S pistols.

Quick Summary

Testing reveals that while some materials like cast iron and bricks can stop specific calibers, kinetic energy transfer remains a significant threat. A challenge coin stops a 9mm but causes severe impact, and a pool table offers no protection against buckshot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a challenge coin stop a bullet?

While a challenge coin might stop a 9mm bullet from penetrating itself, the immense kinetic energy transfer would likely cause a severe or fatal injury due to the impact force. It's not reliable ballistic protection.

Is a cast iron stove door bulletproof?

Testing showed a cast iron stove door successfully stopped a .45 Long Colt round. However, the cast iron shattered upon impact, suggesting it could be a viable but brittle form of cover for specific calibers.

Can a pool table stop shotgun pellets?

A standard particle board pool table offers virtually no protection against 12-gauge buckshot, being easily shredded. A real slate table would likely perform better, but the movie myth is debunked for common tables.

Do bricks stop AK-47 rounds?

Yes, a pile of bricks can provide effective temporary cover against full-auto AK-47 fire (7.62x39mm). The bricks will stop the rounds, though they will be chipped away with sustained fire.
