Navy SEAL test Ballistics through Walls | Tactical Rifleman
This video conducts a ballistic test to evaluate wall penetration by common firearms and ammunition. It builds various wall types, including drywall, cinder block, red brick, and trailer home walls, to simulate real-world scenarios. Firearms tested include a rifle, pistol, and shotgun, with a focus on common military-grade ammunition like 9mm ball and 5.56mm FMJ. Ballistic gelatin is used to measure energy transfer after penetration, providing data to address common opinions on over-penetration in home defense situations.
