    I used leftover crusher stone pieces at my PD. We fired everything we had at a sample cross section I made from 2x 6 and 1/2 inch plywood. 12 Ga slugs and M-14s plus M-16s and every handgun round size. We started at 15 feet away from the cross section and closed in to 3 feet. An autopsy of the cross section showed the deepest penetration to be 2 1/2 inches. Inexpensive and effective.

      Wow..no kidding that's kinda incredible, sounds like the gravel has to many edges and the bullet just bounces off them rapidly until it's stopped. Knowing that knowledge we know the density needed to stop a bullet if enough edges are present in the path of the bullet...👍👍👍 good stuff

      @aspirantCal Thanks for the clarification. First of all, whatever you line it with will be penetrated by the bullet so the hole will be there anyway. As far as the stones starting to pour out where a few shots might be in the same place, that seems also very unlikely based on everything I've seen with tests regarding this kind of barrier.

    I made a "bullet stop" for my range. 4' high 6' wide 1/2 plywood on the outsides. I used metal studs used for a standard 4" wall. (like you said, bullets go through wood) on the gun facing side I used burlap behind the ply, as a gasket to keep the pea gravel from coming out the holes.... I used construction adhesive and lots of screws to hold the plywood to the steel studs. The back side has a horizontal 2x4 to help keep the plywood from flexing... I tested it when it was done. It stopped a .308 from 5' away. In the last 4 years, it has not let any bullet through.

If you want to bulletproof interior walls, line each side with 2 layers of hardiplank or equivalent cement board with a space between the two-ply layers so the expanding/deformed bullet can tumble a little and present more surface area to the second bottom-layer.

The wire, or possibly screen from a screen door will keep the rock from falling out.

      Thanks for your reply. I watched a video testing cinder block that was 8 inch cinder block and the worst that happened was by a shotgun slug which went through the front and cracked the back of the block. A 9 MM did the same thing. Multiple rounds in the same spot could be an issue. So to be super safe filling the blocks with dry sand will give you better protection for sure. If your blocks are solid without any air holes in them you should be really good.

      Congrats on your home. I'm glad I could be of some assistance. I had a lot of comments about putting some kind of lining inside the wall. The main point was to have something like a tight chicken wire or other material that would hold the stones in in case somebody shot out a significant piece of the wall. Although that would be a very difficult thing to do because you would have to have such a large cluster of bullets in the same spot, you might consider doing it since you are starting from scratch. You could also beef it up a bit by using 3/4 inch plywood instead of 1/2 inch plywood.

    • @lousmith5264
      @lousmith5264 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Pea gravel is "self compacting" because of it's rounded shape. It contacts every surrounding piece and therefore will not settle, and you can buy it by the cubic yard (in your pickup) at gravel quarries and landscaping suppliers.

    • @Wheelman151
      @Wheelman151 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Don't agree on the compactibility of pea gravel. While pebbles may appear to self-seat, their "roundness" creates interstices between them but little grip or friction, and they act like rolly polly marbles. That's why we use them as decorative ground cover, but NOT walkways, driveways, RV pads, sub-concrete foundations, aggregate in concrete, or any substrate requiring stability. Crushed rock, as in crushed granite, 1/4-, or 3/4- is what is typically used in such applications. In this application for the saferoom, I'd fill the Pastor's box with 6" lifts of 1/4- crushed (or similar), and tamp it with the end of a 4x4 between each lift to compact. Others have mentioned the weight issue on the flooring... check the load-bearing capacity of the floor: concrete would likely bear 3,000+ psi. Joists over a crawl space would be a function of joist or beam size and spacing. Load of the safe wall is the (weight of the gravel + wood shell) ÷ the square inch footprint of his bottom plate.
      He has a clever approach, and I think his gravel suggestion is a good one.

    Consider the floor supporting this. If slab- AOK, if floor joists- you will likely need to reinforce as this a heavy load with a small footprint. I went into apartments in a large city in a not so good area and saw sandbags stacked against the wall under windows.
    I saw another wall constructed of 3 layers of plywood with space between to slide phone books vertically. Builder would collect old phone books(back when they were issued by phone companies)tape them to make them less flexible, then stack them vertically. Plywood would deform bullets making it easier for the phone books to absorb the energy and slow them down.

    Something MUCH lighter that doesn't require rebuilding your walls to be 10" thick is HDPE plastic sheet. It's not cheap in the thicknesses required to stop all threats, but I did the hip wall around the top of my staircase for about $800. I built a defensive position at the top of my stairs. All the bedrooms are upstairs, so nothing truly valuable is downstairs. It sounds expensive until you factor in the cost of rebuilding your walls, floors, etc to handle the cheap gravel. HDPE is used in body armor. You need 3/4 sheet at a minimum, but 1" is better. They use 1" in most body armor, but inside of a wall (you want to position it on the away side of the impact so any bullets pass through drywall then empty space first) 3/4 will stop just about anything. I've tested this myself up to fmj 308. It's also multi round capable and won't leak out of the wall when there's holes...

    I would mix concrete with the stones. If someone is shooting at the wall to do damage and have enough bullets, they just need to burn through the first layer of wood before the stones start pouring out through the hall that they are making in the wood. Cementing the rocks together in some fashion might prevent the bullet proof layer from just falling out of the holes made by the bullets. You have already made about the perfect mold for a great pour anyhow.

    Someone mentioned using sand with the stones. I used to be in the faux stone business. I often thought of a similar deal as this and using expanded wire lath. The wire lath would go inside the cavity against all four interior sides with the stone and sand poured in after. The wire lath would help to contain and compact the stones as it is being fired into making it an effective barriers for multiple attacks. In theory however I’ve not yet tried it.

    • @pastorjohn4337
      @pastorjohn4337  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your suggestion, but I've found that something like that wire lath is unnecessary. When bullets go into the wall, the holes they make are too small to allow many if any stones to come out if any. I recently moved to another state and I dismantled the one I built in this video. In doing so, I first cut a large hole in the wall to see what would happen and a few stones fell out, but they compacted themselves and hardly anything came out at all. I was somewhat surprised, so even if you had a lot of rounds grouped in one spot, what I saw tells me the stones are basically going to compact themselves and stay intact.

    Ceramic tile, and truck bed liner mixed with gravel can make a bullet proof barrier just a few inches thick.
    The bed liner applied very heavily to a couple layers of ceramic tile is very bullet resistant. Space the tiles a couple inches apart and fill the void with gravel and bed liner and wood chips is practically impenetrable. You can use just about any filler material at about a 50/50% ratio to gravel. Use stone about 1/2" to 1" in diameter and about the same filler material size. The bed liner is the expensive part but you can build a bullet proof safe room about 4' × 8' with 6' height, about like a typical walk in closet for less than $500 not including the door. Redgard or similar shower waterproofing liquid can also be used in place of Rhino lining or other truck bed materials.
    The door can be hardened same as the walls but will require heavy duty hinges to support the weight of the added materials. Special care must be taken in the design to allow for functioning door and fully bullet resistant seams. It can be done with standard building materials though.
    A functioning bullet proof door will cost about $400 the way I've designed it.
    I've also seen a design that uses a seperate sliding interior door that is slid in place from inside to cover the standard entry door.
    That could be done with rollers and track for less than a single hinged and hardened entry door.
    That's to provide a 360° protected safe room. It does not include the floor or ceiling however.

    • @pastorjohn4337
      @pastorjohn4337  4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Thanks for writing. From what I've read the cost of Balistricrete depends on how thick you feel you have to put it on. It goes on in 5/8 of an inch applications. I would consider that the minimum thickness and I read that at minimum application Balisticrete is about $12.00 a square foot. The square footage I have on my two corner right angle walls is about 16 square feet. So at minimum application that would cost $192.00. However here is the issue. According to this websitecustomsecuritydoors.com/ballisticrete/ one application of 5/8 of an inch fails to stop even a small handgun bullet. They say you have to have 1 inch for small hand guns, 1 1/2 inches for large hand guns and 2 inches for rifles. So, doing that same square footage to get to 2 full inches would take 4 applications 5/8 of an inch at a time, which would get you to 2 1/2 inches and would run the cost to about $800.00 My wall works and comes in at about $11.00 a square foot to cover the same wall area or about $175.00 all materials included. I'm sure Balistricrete is way less labor. Lugging those stones and loading them into the wall took time. Yet my wall stops all handgun and rifle bullets for much less cost. By the way as I recall I used Vigoro River Pebbles in 40 lb. bags available at Home Depot as opposed to pea gravel or other smaller or larger stones One other thing is to make sure you spread them out in a dry place and let them all COMPLETELY dry out overnight. They often are wet in the bags for whatever reason. I spread them out on my garage floor because they are wet in the bags when you get them and putting wet stones in the wall is inviting all kinds of mold issues etc. I'd really be interested in hearing which direction you choose to go. God Bless you.

      Based on what I've researched, it would take quite a few rounds to make a whole big enough to leak significant stones or compromise the plywood itself. The 3/4 inch plywood is strong and bullets would go through it clean without ripping it apart. In other words a 5 round pattern would likely remain five individual holes which would do little to harm the integrity of the plywood and never be big enough to leak significant stones. If someone did manage to put say 10 or more rounds in the wall, they would have to be in such a small space of about the size of a half dollar to take out enough plywood to allow some stones to come out. Yet, even then the plywood would likely remain secure. Even if someone was trying to fire what would have to be called a "cluster" that tight, rather than a pattern, it would be difficult to do, even at a range under calm conditions.

Horizontal bolts connecting the two studs so they don't bulge apart. You want the panel pushing against the entire stud. 400lbs+/- of rock pushing against the lip of a few screw heads may let go.

    Awesome idea! Never considered this, but it may come handy at some point. I can understand the concept, but the audio was way choppy! Start and stops with plenty of breaks.

    Stock up, load up on all the guns, ammo, food, “safe rooms”.etc you want.
    My only question is how are you going to put out the fire?

    I have rounds that will go though 5 feet f reinforced concrete. Good luck with your stones.

    I did a similar project but calked the seams and then filled with sand and used 2x12 by the time they bring in something big enough to get through that I’ll have bigger problems then riding out a gun fight and having a mill plus a river close by it cost me labor and the fasteners that’s it

    I am wanting to build two ballistic proof fox hole type units outside my home, one in front corner and another in back corner (diagonally). I need it to have small holes for a rifle to shoot. Any ideas? In a SHTF scenario i want to protect livestock and the children in the house.

      I build something inside your home that works. I get you are trying to protect your livestock, but I doubt if many intruders will be going after your livestock. It also seems to me that you put yourself at risk tying to go outside and defend the property.

    I see your license plate on the wall that is a Florida plate native Floridian here 55 years.
    Rocks are fine but beach sand works much better.

      Florida is such a beautiful place . With regard to the sand, we might have to agree to disagree. All my research shows that sand does work, but rocks work much better. 8 plus inches of rock is going to stop a lot more than 8 plus inches of sand.

    Is there a follow up to this? Can we see the finished product?

      I never took any pictures of it finished, since what you see in the video is just about complete. All I did was close in the open end, paint it and put it in the safe room where it belongs an filled it with the stones. I'd be happy to answer any other questions you might have about it. Thanks.

    Yes but will it prevent you from

    If you properly braced it you could use concrete with steel reinforcement and it would actually be structurally sound.

    If I'm crazy enough to shoot through a wall to try andend someone, I am also crazy enough to light the house on fire just to make sure.

    Add a sentry gun, also mounted with latest generation of tow missile, cover the outer wall full with claymores setup like a wall tile, if the guest ask if it's real, just say it's a decorative for 4th of July.
