What firearms were tested against the Range Rover's undercarriage?

The test included a Micro Uzi (9mm), M3 Grease Gun (.45 ACP), AK-47 (7.62x39mm), M16 (5.56x45mm), M60 (.308 Win), PKM (7.62x54R), and the Serbu BFG-50 (.50 BMG).

Which firearm demonstrated the most significant penetration power?

The Serbu BFG-50, chambered in .50 BMG, showed the most destructive capability, easily penetrating the entire chassis and leaving a large exit hole.

Did pistol calibers penetrate the Range Rover's undercarriage?

No, neither the 9mm rounds from the Micro Uzi nor the .45 ACP rounds from the M3 Grease Gun achieved penetration through the vehicle's undercarriage.

What was the purpose of flipping the Range Rover?

Flipping the Range Rover onto its side allowed for direct access to the undercarriage, enabling a controlled test of ballistic penetration through its various components and metal plating.
