This video tests the ballistic resistance of a standard axe against various calibers, including birdshot, .22 LR, 9mm, .223/5.56mm, and .308 Winchester. The axe head demonstrated significant resistance, with smaller calibers embedding themselves and larger calibers causing superficial damage without full penetration, except for the .308 which penetrated the thicker base of the axe head.

Quick Summary

An axe head shows considerable resistance to bullets. Birdshot, .22 LR, and 9mm rounds did not penetrate, often embedding or fragmenting. A .223/5.56mm round came close but didn't fully penetrate. However, a .308 Winchester round successfully penetrated the thicker base of the axe head.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an axe stop bullets?

An axe head demonstrates significant ballistic resistance. While it can stop smaller calibers like birdshot, .22 LR, and 9mm, with projectiles embedding or fragmenting, it can be penetrated by more powerful rifle rounds. A .308 Winchester round successfully penetrated the thicker base of the axe head in testing.

Which calibers were tested against an axe?

The test included birdshot from a 12 gauge shotgun, .22 Long Rifle, 9mm Luger, .223/5.56mm (fired from an AR-15), and .308 Winchester (fired from an AR-10). The results varied significantly based on caliber and the axe's construction.

Did a .223/5.56mm round penetrate an axe head?

In the test, a .223/5.56mm round fired from an AR-15 came very close to penetrating the axe head, reaching about halfway through and removing paint from the opposite side. However, it did not achieve full penetration.

What was the outcome of testing a .308 Winchester against an axe?

The .308 Winchester round, fired from an AR-10, was the most powerful caliber tested and successfully penetrated the axe head. The penetration occurred in the thicker section at the base of the axe head.
