Interesting video of the guys from Valor Ridge testing the penetration of some popular standard and HD 5.56, 7.62, 9mm, and even some .308.
Some of the rounds tested include standard Ball, Speer GDs (two different weights), TBBC, SMK, & HST. Nothing earth shattering but some of the results were a bit surprising. My favorite takeaway...

Excellent video. Reminds me of the old box-o-truth website and testing.Originally Posted by Kdubya

Yup, great stuff. It's always fun when people see what they "know" tested and proven wrong for the first time.

Exactly. I suspect it causes one to cling slightly less bitterly to one's dogma.
And it's always fun to shoot shit.

I thought the selection of ammo in the test was excellent. I'd venture to guess that many people in the shooting community have at least one of the included rounds loaded up and ready to go. I know I do, and it definitely gave me some things to think about. Hopefully they put out some more videos of this level of quality and relevance.

Looks fun. Was interesting.
Surprised they didn't have a shotgun and some buckshot and slugs available.
And a .22 or .25.
enjoyed it.

Not trying to be a douche because that was fairly interesting to watch, but I'd love to see one of the guys who shoots gelatin do something like this so we could see the actual ballistic performance of the round after hitting these barriers.

This made me think of when I saw locals using a sand filled refrigerator is a part of their battle position while OCONUS. Better than nothing but definitely not the best.

I could see that being a decent "improvised" option if nothing better was available. It would be interesting to fill a box or tote/tub with sand and see how far rifle rounds would penetrate. There's a company who makes bullet traps filled with rubber. IIRC, most of their traps are only about 2-3 feet deep. And, from what I've seen, they stop some pretty serious rounds. I'd imagine sand would do about the same.

No, that was some solid operatin' brother! Refrigerators are about 2' thick. If it is full of sand, that is like a 3 sand bags deep wall. I bet it would stop 7.62x51 (or 54) easy, I'll take that ghetto bunker if it's all I got any day.
