Shooting a 70 pound bow at bulletproof drywall

A 70 lb compound bow was tested against a solid wood door and a steel exterior door. A field tip arrow failed to penetrate the wood door completely but fully penetrated the steel door. A broadhead arrow also failed to penetrate the wood door, bouncing off, but passed cleanly through the steel door.

This video tests the penetration power of a 70 lb bow against a massive ball of Saran Wrap using three different arrow tips. A standard field tip only penetrated a few inches, while a carbon steel broadhead went significantly deeper. The stainless steel fixed blade broadhead proved most effective, passing completely through the Saran Wrap ball.

This video tests the penetration of a 70 lb compound bow into a massive duct tape ball using three different arrow tips. A field tip showed significant penetration, followed by a mechanical broadhead which penetrated less. The 350-grain big game broadhead achieved the deepest penetration, demonstrating its effectiveness for large game.

This video tests the protective capabilities of three World War II helmets against a 70-pound compound bow. The American M1 helmet was completely penetrated, while the German Stahlhelm deflected the arrow due to its sloped design. The Japanese Type 92 helmet offered partial protection, stopping the arrow but causing significant damage.

This video tests the ballistic protection of a Kevlar military helmet against a 70lb compound bow. While a standard field tip failed to penetrate, both a carbon steel and a stainless steel broadhead successfully penetrated the helmet, with one pinning it to the dummy and the other causing a partial penetration and nicking the dummy's head.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a 70lb compound bow using three different arrow tips against a tire. A blunt field point achieved significant penetration, while a 4-blade fixed broadhead showed less, and a 2-blade fixed broadhead penetrated deepest. The host demonstrates practical archery knowledge and equipment testing.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. While smaller calibers and even .450 Bushmaster and .308 were stopped, the .50 caliber Armor Piercing Incendiary round successfully penetrated the bucket, destroying a dummy target behind it. The test highlights the significant difference in terminal effects between standard rifle rounds and specialized armor-piercing ammunition.

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 tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms rounds in a swimming pool, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. Surprisingly, higher velocity rifle rounds like the .223 and .308 fragmented quickly, while the .50 AE Desert Eagle traveled the furthest at 190 inches. The .50 BMG sniper rifle, despite its power, only penetrated 61 inches, likely due to massive energy displacement.

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.
