This video details a ballistic test comparing the stopping power of various firearms and calibers against a stack of iPads. Instructor Edwin Sarkissian demonstrates penetration levels with a Walther P22 (.22 LR), Glock 42 (.380 ACP), and a Glock 19 in a CAA MCK conversion kit (9mm). The results offer a unique perspective on projectile energy transfer and material resistance.

Quick Summary

In a ballistic test, a .22 LR round from a Walther P22 was stopped by the first iPad. A .380 ACP round from a Glock 42 penetrated two iPads. A 9mm hollow-point from a Glock 19 in a CAA MCK kit penetrated three iPads, with the fourth stopping the bullet.

What calibers were used in the iPad ballistic test?

The iPad ballistic test featured three calibers: .22 LR fired from a Walther P22, .380 ACP from a Glock 42, and 9mm from a Glock 19 equipped with a CAA MCK conversion kit.

How many iPads did a 9mm bullet penetrate?

A 9mm Hornady hollow-point round, fired from a Glock 19 in a CAA MCK conversion kit, penetrated three iPads before being stopped by the fourth iPad.

Which firearm stopped first when shooting iPads?

The .22 LR round fired from the Walther P22 was stopped by the very first iPad in the test sequence, indicating significantly less penetration power compared to the larger calibers.

What is a CAA MCK conversion kit?

A CAA MCK (Micro Conversion Kit) is an accessory that allows a compatible handgun, like the Glock 19, to be mounted into a chassis, transforming it into a pistol carbine-like platform with features such as a folding stock and integrated rails.
