    This footage was most likely produced with cartridges that have just enough gun powder to cycle the gun’s action.

    Frankly, it’s probably not even that much. They probably used a bolt action and really light powder loads. I’d say maybe it’s a .22 but the dents look big for that.

    Edit: Someone else posted this a JerryRigEverything video- it apparently stops .22 and 9mm. I’m pretty surprised.

      Looking it up, the doors are 1.8mm steel. At a 90 degree angle that’s enough to stop underpowered 9mm rounds reliably. It will stop most normal rounds fired at it, and especially start letting a lot through in areas with repeated stress. The second you hot load a round, use a heavy projectile or any kind of round with more potential than standard FMJ it’s all going through.

      And that has to be the right kind of steel too. Which is more expensive. So yeah I’m pretty sure they used underpowered rounds at the very least to create this visual.

        Checked brandon herrera. Seems like its bullet resistant and can handle non hot or ap loads from 9mm and below pistols and that’s it. Still hard to believe since there’s all info is from big tech platforms and big youtubers who are all famous for their jorunalistic integrity.

          1/4 inch is for armor that you want to be able trust and keep using. 3/16 inch or 4 mm will be the bare minimum for one time use. The Cyber truck is 1.8 mm.

            Seems like it is some stronger alloy that is resistant to pistol fire. Brendon herrera seemed to do a semi independent test.

              He also got a door given to him specifically to test. Which is suspect too.
