The test concludes with a .50 BMG round being stopped by the eighth shovel, indicating significant defensive potential for this everyday tool.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an experiment testing the ballistic resistance of hardened steel shovels against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The results show that while a single shovel can stop lower calibers like .22 LR and 9mm, higher-powered rounds require multiple shovels for complete penetration. The .50 BMG round, in particular, demonstrated significant power by penetrating seven shovels.

At SHOT Show 2026, HUXWRX unveiled the new FLOW 45M suppressor, a 3D-printed titanium, modular, flow-through design.

This video tests the ballistic penetration capabilities of a 100-pound lead block against various firearm calibers, from .22LR up to a .50 BMG. The test demonstrates that while smaller calibers leave minimal marks, larger rounds create significant craters. Notably, even powerful rifle rounds like the .308 and .223 fail to fully penetrate the block, highlighting lead's effectiveness as a projectile barrier. The .50 BMG is the only caliber shown to successfully penetrate the entire block and reach the target behind it.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of steel toe boots against various firearm calibers, from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The expert instructor demonstrates that while steel toe boots can stop smaller caliber rounds like .22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, and .45 ACP, they fail to stop higher-powered rounds such as the .44 Magnum, .50 AE, and .50 BMG, which penetrate the boots and the mannequin used for testing. The demonstration highlights the limitations of standard footwear against significant ballistic threats.
