This video conducts a ballistic test to determine if tree trunks can stop bullets. Various handgun, shotgun, and rifle calibers are fired at pine tree sections. The test reveals that 9mm handgun rounds and all tested shotgun rounds are stopped by the wood. However, 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm rifle rounds penetrate the tree. Surprisingly, .308 rounds, despite having higher energy, also fail to penetrate, which the creators hypothesize is due to bullet deformation and subsequent loss of energy and trajectory deviation. The video invites viewer input on the .308's performance and suggestions for future tests.
