Can a Gas Pump Save Your Life?
This video details a comprehensive ballistic test of a decommissioned Shell gas pump, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, who demonstrates high practical experience in field ballistic testing. The test evaluates the gas pump's effectiveness as cover against various firearm calibers, from 9mm handguns to .50 BMG rifles. Key findings indicate that while the front offers minimal protection, the side profile, particularly the lower section with mechanical components, can effectively stop most common handgun and rifle rounds.
