The .408 CheyTac round created a clean entry hole in a thick-walled oxygen tank but failed to fully exit, causing a significant bulge on the opposite side of the steel tank.

How does the .408 CheyTac compare to 9mm in penetration tests?

A 9mm round fired from a Glock pistol could not penetrate a propane tank's casing, highlighting the vastly superior penetration power of the .408 CheyTac round from the M200 Intervention.
