How many rounds of .223 to blow open a lock?

This video tests common household objects and vehicle components as ballistic cover against various calibers including .22 LR, 9mm, .223, 12 gauge, and 300 Blackout. The experiment uses ballistic dummies to determine if objects provide cover (stopping rounds) or concealment (not stopping rounds). Results indicate that most everyday items offer minimal to no effective cover against common firearm calibers, with only certain materials and calibers showing potential to stop rounds.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a revolver. It tests rounds from .22 LR up to .50 BMG, showing which calibers can penetrate the firearm and which are stopped. The test highlights the surprising resilience of revolvers against certain common handgun and rifle rounds.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the effectiveness of various firearm calibers against a standard Master Lock. While smaller calibers like .22 LR, .45 ACP, and 9mm cause damage, they fail to break the lock. Even a .44 Magnum revolver only manages to lodge its bullet. Ultimately, only the powerful .50 AE round from a Desert Eagle is capable of destroying the lock and breaking its shackle. The host demonstrates safe firearm handling throughout the experiment.

This video from Yee Yee Life demonstrates a practical test of paper's ability to stop various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The expert instructor, Fred, showcases safe firearm handling and provides clear data on penetration depths for each caliber tested. The experiment highlights significant differences in projectile energy and construction, offering valuable insights into ballistic performance against a common material.

This video explores the bullet-stopping potential of Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid, by testing various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The experiment, conducted with enthusiasm and safe firearm handling, demonstrates how Oobleck behaves differently under varying projectile impacts. It successfully stopped smaller rounds but was overwhelmed by larger calibers, highlighting the material's unique properties under extreme force.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of Lego baseplates against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The experiment, conducted on an outdoor shooting range, demonstrates how many Lego sheets are required to stop each round, with results ranging from 27 sheets for .22 LR to over 100 sheets for .50 BMG. The host, a firearms enthusiast, showcases safe handling and a variety of firearms including an AR-15 and a Glock.

This video demonstrates the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. The test, conducted by an experienced individual, shows that while smaller calibers cause minimal damage, larger rounds like the .50 BMG API can penetrate the bucket. The footage provides visual evidence of impact effects and the destructive potential of different ammunition types.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an experienced host testing the ballistic penetration of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, in an Intex swimming pool. The host demonstrates proper firearm safety and provides detailed measurements of bullet penetration depths, offering unique insights into how different rounds interact with water as a medium. The results highlight significant variations in penetration based on caliber and velocity.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Secret Service Suburban window against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers and even a 10mm and .44 Magnum were stopped with varying degrees of damage, the window was eventually penetrated by a .50 BMG sniper rifle round. The testing provides a clear demonstration of the limits of armored vehicle glass against high-powered rifle threats.
