This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 1970s particle board dresser filled with clothes against various calibers. The dresser provided significant protection against .22LR, 9mm, and double-ought buckshot, but was penetrated by 7.62x39mm. The experiment highlights that while a dresser can offer concealment and some protection, it is not a reliable bulletproof barrier against rifle rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a dresser filled with clothes stop bullets?

In a ballistic test, a dresser filled with clothes provided significant protection against .22LR, 9mm, and double-ought buckshot. However, it was penetrated by a 7.62x39mm rifle round, indicating it's not a reliable bulletproof barrier against all firearms.

What kind of protection does a dresser offer in a firefight?

A dresser filled with clothes can offer concealment and some level of protection against handgun rounds and buckshot. It can slow down or stop these projectiles, but it is not a substitute for proper ballistic protection against rifle calibers.

Which calibers were tested against the dresser?

The test included .22 Long Rifle, 9mm Luger, double-ought buckshot from a shotgun, and 7.62x39mm from an AK-47. The dresser stopped the first three but was penetrated by the rifle round.

Is it safe to hide behind a dresser during a shooting?

While a dresser can offer concealment and some protection against handgun fire, it is not considered bulletproof, especially against rifle rounds. It's best not to rely on it for complete safety.
