Duration: 0:58

This video from Civilian Tactical tests the ballistic resistance of an anvil against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG round. The host, demonstrating high expertise in firearms, concludes the anvil is effectively bulletproof as no tested round penetrates it. The experiment showcases a progression of calibers from .22LR up to .50 BMG, highlighting the relative impact of each on the anvil's surface.

Quick Summary

An anvil was tested for bulletproof capabilities against calibers ranging from .22LR to .50 BMG. Despite impacts from powerful rifle rounds, including a .50 BMG shot that toppled the anvil, no ammunition penetrated the hardened steel, leading to the conclusion that the anvil is effectively bulletproof.
