Frequently Asked Questions

Can a 20lb dumbbell stop bullets?

In a test by Civilian Tactical, a 20lb cast iron dumbbell demonstrated significant resistance. It stopped .22 and 9mm rounds completely, sustained only a gouge from 5.56, and was cracked but not penetrated by 7.62x39. A .308 round caused a large hole but was stopped by a second plate, suggesting it's effectively bulletproof against most tested rounds.

The test utilized a range of calibers provided by GunPrime: .22, 9mm, 5.56 (from an AR-15), 7.62x39 (from an AK-47), and .308. The results showed increasing damage with higher-powered rounds.

How was safety ensured during the dumbbell bulletproof test?

Safety was a priority, with the host using an RTS Tactical Level 3 ballistic shield to take shots from behind cover. This setup allowed for safe filming and testing of the dumbbell's resistance to live ammunition.

What was the outcome of testing a 20lb dumbbell against live ammunition?

The 20lb cast iron dumbbell proved remarkably resilient. While .22 and 9mm rounds had minimal effect, and 5.56 and 7.62x39 caused damage and cracks, the dumbbell was not fully penetrated by any of the tested rounds, leading to the conclusion it is effectively bulletproof in this context.
