      @@TacticalRifleman Nah, thank you. While I have your attention, I would love to see you take these walls and shoot a human sized gel IN FRONT of the walls, to see how far it would penetrate after you shoot through a body. Also, would love to see you use some of these walls in ricochet demonstrations. You might or may not be surprised on how crazy accurate you can shoot a ricochet and I think it should be in everyone's tactical toolbox for defending against it or using it to your tactical advantage!

      It is a good demonstration, and while I wouldn't say to take it with a grain of salt because it's deserving of more consideration than that for sure, I have personally seen 9mm and 5.56 go through cinderblocks. Also, they weaken fast and crumble after a couple of close-together shots, so I personally wouldn't want to rely on them as cover for more than a second or two.
      And again I'm not trying to argue or anything, this is an informative video for sure.

      Green tip is good if you need to blast through walls or barriers to hit your intended target. However it has much less effect on your target than it's counterpart, XM193.
      308 may perform better than what most think. Use a good soft tip or hollow point, major wound devestation but lacks the ability to penetrate compared to an fmj or other calibers. However with any rifle, ammunition choice is important and I'd never recommend a fmj for home defense unless it's 556/223 like XM193, those are the only exception.

    It seems like all the 5.56 testing I've seen done against walls has been Ball ammo (FMJ). A varmint bullet (Nosler Ballistic tip, Hornady V max etc.) completely changes the penetration characteristics. The over penetration debate should really be about the type of bullet used rather then pistol vs. rifle vs. shot gun. Any of these weapons can "over penetrate" depending on the TYPE of projectile used.

    High school teacher here. We were going through our lock down procedures today. I have a nice size closet that is within an older warehouse building, and is surrounded by a cement wall on all sides. I feel like its a perfect spot to hide. I wanted to see how 5.56 holds up against this style of wall, and I think we're good. In a perfect world, we wouldn't have to do this, but sadly, we are not in a perfect world. In a near perfect world, I would protect my students by carrying, but I live in California, and we don't have much we can do here but hide and fight with generic classroom supplies. Thanks for the video, guys. I hope we never have to worry about this, but we have to be prepared.

    Fantastic video and impeccable level of scientific rigor in your tests.
    It also totally backs up an anecdotal story I heard a few months ago.
    A guy I know was telling me about his mate that emigrated to America and works as a forensic investigator. He constantly bangs-on that if you rent or buy a place, make sure its an old building, because the walls will be made of brick. He keeps telling his friends that since he moved to America, most of the cases he's working on are people that got shot incidentally, through dry-wall partition who were not even involved in the gunfight directly. Apparently some of the fatal shootings are people that live 2-3 apartments away, who get hit by bullets passing through 4-6 layers of Gyprock.
    Watching your video makes me think this guy is not paranoid.

      Would probably zip through everything except the first wall ( and even that one after a few rounds in the right place). That's a big part of the reason why we issue 7.62 mm belt feds at a platoon level. They're not really even purely anti-personnel weapons, but do serious damage to structures. Three or four rounds of M80 A1 will punch through most common building materials, except for the most reinforced structures. And 7.62 NATO AP rounds will zip through the first one as well

However, an expanding round like the 155 gr Hornady Amax can provide over 3/4 the tissue displacement as a 12 gauge buckshot round with adequate penetration for defensive use. Likewise, the M118LR with the 175 gr SMK and a hunting load with a common cup and core JSP might be interesting choices for the sake of comparison. Some people do use rifles like the AR-10 and Springfield M1A SOCOM for home defense, just not, hopefully, with AP rounds.

      A 5.56 rifle round is still deadly on the other side of a wall (depending on wall type obviously) on a missed target. If you shoot a 5.56 in your home and it goes through a wall with deadly force remaining, is it better than say the birdshot that is deadly on one side but not the other?

    Great test and info. As a firefighter I would say you covered all of the common wall types, with the exception of oddball things like membrane structures and metal out-buildings. If you still have the setup, would you consider testing standard velocity ball rounds and hollow points out of a pistol, through gel then interior wall to see what the over-penetration potential would be for rounds hitting the target rather than misses? Maybe half a gel block to represent the target and another one behind the wall to test the remaining potential?

    Really appreciate putting all the work in for this highly informative video!
    I'd love to see a follow-up video testing multiple rounds against the cinder block and brick walls. Some of those rounds were really close to penetrating, and I think a follow up shot in the same area would penetrate. I would contest that a brick wall isn't much good as cover if it only holds up against one round.

    In European terms all these arent walls lmao. I appreciate the experiment and the amount of effort that went into this.
    In Europe we dont use any of these materials for building. Its always either solid historical 20-50 cm brick/stone walls or straight up 15-20 cm concrete, usually reinforced with steel and insulation materials.

      It doesn't. Check out box'o truth. It's a website where an older gentleman tested common rounds against common barriers. The point of the video is to show what typical guns are capable of penetrating, would make sense to use the most commonplace projectiles... hence fmj.
      Depending on the hollowpoint, mainly clog up on the drywall and perform like fmj. The ones that don't still easily pass through multiple layers of drywall. Barring hitting a stud or other harder object a 9mm will easily go through every interior wall in the typical house. You'd probably be able to shoot through an entire house ,exterior wall to exterior wall
      assuming it wasn't brick.

    In the UK the typical house external wall is double-skinned masonry with a cavity, usually filled with insulation these days. The outer wall is often brick, sometimes reconstituted stone (like mine - basically a type of concreted made with local limestone made to look like natural stone) with the inner wall being the load bearing one made of aerated block on modern constructions. Proper cinder block (made from ash from power coal power stations and held with cement) hasn't been used for a long time.
    There are some brick-skinned wooden-framed houses too, but in the minority (and they will be filled with insulation).

    Very cool info. I use a rifle too for penetrating flack jackets, and slugs in a shotgun to fire at vehicles.

Would be awesome to have another similar video to show ballistics gel before a dry wall, then the dry wall and then seeing how far a bullet penetrates into the ballistics gel on the other side of the wall.

    Also noticed a lot of errors. You do know a whole point is not known to penetrate better than ball ammo. The whole point of a hollow point is to expand and stop. And you will never get the velocity out of a 9 mm pistol (even if it does have an arm brace lol) that you would have being fired from a 16 inch carbine rifle. Was that pistol barrel length 6 in?
