A better test would be to have ballistic gel behind the container wall. Even though a bullet may pass though, it may not have enough energy left to do any amount of significant damage to whatever it hit behind it.
Cool test, thanks for sharing this! I think in most instances preppers have used them as subterranean bunkers, but its good to know their limitations above ground! A lot could be learned and extrapolated from this test. Would like to see more vids like this if possible.
I've often thought that a 50' sea can,with properly engineered reinforcements, would make the perfect cost effective pistol and shotgun range for those that own rural property.It would be interesting to document the construction and commissioning such an endeavour.Part 1 would begin with the planning of the sea can range and how the construction of it would comply with the CFO's standards and the Firearms Act.Then part 2 would document the actual construction an CFO inspection and certification of the range.
As a dude who lives in a custom 8 inch living green cabin have fun taking all night doing that short of thermite and lots of it it is really hard dense there is no gaps and it is all hard wood i don't think yall realize how hard it is to shoot through fat heavy staggered oak logs that aren't even dead or dried out
We brought some 3x4” cutoffs of regular mild steel that was 3/8” thick to my friend’s backyard range. Shot at them with a .223 Remington 700 at about 50-60 yards. In each case, it punched a perfect hole through each plate. I expected a dent, but not what we ended up seeing. Velocity is a hell of a thing!
Uh, no they are not bullet proof just ask a veteran lol! I lived in one deployed! Mortars will make swiss cheese out of it , so will an RPG and a high power round! Hence the Hesco barrier and sand bag protection on FOBs. I can remember at least 5 getting hit with indirect fire!
no big surprises - .223 seems to penetrate 1/4" mild steel plate quite readily so the SeaCan is not the best bunker if you are expecting unwelcome guests. Bury it partially or completely and it becomes significantly more formidible. Would have been nice to see additional popular rounds like .30-30 or .30-06 although having seen the results I imagine both of those would have whizzed right through.
+chavez243 Especially the .30-06. Penetration power is astounding. I'd have bet money that it would have made it trought the other side of the container.
+The Immortal I'm thinking That a 1 Foot thick barrier of sand or dirt around the shipping container would be extremely useful. Another round I would have tested would have been a .308 as it is a common military round.
Could shipping be a good start as a defense against firearms to provide basic structure which could be reinforced. What about sandbagging and more layers of steel to make their ability to withstand many rounds of fire more robust?
Sort of skipped through to the results, but didn't notice anyone commenting on the double up of the steel for the wall. Shipping container walls are only one layer, so unless your outside the container on one side and being shot at from outside the container on the other side the protection isn't double wall thick.
The Immortal Then everyone know where not to shot. Place them 4 feet high against the inside wall and you'll still have plenty of room to walk around inside the container!
Logs don't protect evenly, but they do rot and burn. Berms don't. BTW self and bros tested .50 BMG on three boxes of one cubic foot each packed with sand. They wouldn't stop a burst but the projo (at ~50 feet) stopped before the third box.
Yeah telephone poles aren't a good standard to date at compared to harder and not to mention live trees. Demolition ranch did a video on bullet resistance of a tree and it stopped a 338 lapua mag after taking multiple hits from other large rounds in the same general area. The only thing it did not stop was the 50 cal however the test dummy behind it had plate armor on I believe and the first plate stopped the 50 bullet I believe, then again I could be mis rememebering that part but to say the least a 338 sets very high bar only second to the 50.
Why 3" shell for the buckshot yet only 2 3/4" for the slug? I would like to know if a 3" slug would penetrate both layers. Great video and thanks for keeping them coming.
@@frazionetomaselli Please do explain mr.frazio... Since the slang abreviation of "millimeter" is just mil. just like a grand is for $1000 and not a grand piano, everyone is ok with that, and short for the same word millimeter is mm. Milli Meter... like on a ruler.... I'm all ears Mr English major!
Ok, you shot them straight on. At what angle will a bullet glance off? Not discounting the test, but the likelihood of shooting through it straight on would be rare; more likely the shooter will be off-square. How off-square before the metal protects as hoped? And many of these boxes will be insulated and boarded on the inside. Assuming the velocity is reduced, how thick would the plywood have to be. And if I'm to be an if-ninja... what if I was to put a "draft" metal (like an air circulation foamy) on the wood between the studs? For that matter, given my own proclivities, how would a layer of plywood and insulation on the outside affect velocity? Oh the questions you've spurred...
Those things would likely slow the bullet don "some", but I would not bet my life or the lives of my family on it. This was a good video and definitely food for thought!
I would imagine if shooting a fully constructed one the distance between the two sides would have defeated the penetration of the rounds going through the first layer
This is also interesting from a movie realistic point of view. You think of movies where the good guys attack the bad guys at their container yard. Everyone is using the sea cans as cover, but in real life the sea cans would offer little protection.
Your real defense is fire an maneuver. Fixed fortifications are nice to stay out of the weather but if you are stuck in one your opponent need only wait. Bunker masturbation should be avoided. If they get close enough you're better off in foxholes, slit trenches and other works permitting movement. Those can be drainage ditches so you won't waste the effort.
what did surprise me was that the 5.56 frangible did make it through both pieces,..Wow ! I would have thought, one piece for sure, the second, no way in hell.....Well Hell made it .
I was just watching the falcon and the winter soldier and there’s a scene where they’re in a shipyard and there was a shoot out with handguns and it showed the door of the cargo container being dented by small arms fire probably 9 mm which I find extremely hard to believe
Na I disagree. an extra what 5 or 6 feet of air wouldn't change much. What went through would go through and what stopped would stop. Air doesn't do much to a bullet in 6 feet when it's traveling at well over 1500 feet a second.
Are shipping containers Bulletproof?? Unnecessary question. Is your home bulletproof? I think most people recognize that shipping containers just makes a quick home in a remote location, i.e. bug out location.
im not very knowledgeable about guns or ammo. can someone direct me to a video that explains ammo. I dont even really know what a full metal jacket is...other then a really great movie lol
Could you run the same test with a Level IIIA ballistic blanket on the inside of the shipping container panel and tell me if a 5.56 or 7.62 penertrates both steel side & blanket?
Just to be clear, one wall is only one sheet thick right? You put two on there to simulate shooting straight through to the other side right? You should have been more clear about that in the video. Otherwise great video.
I remember hearing of afghans taken prisoner by other afghans early in the war. the prisoners were crammed into a shipping container until it was stuffed. the other afghans then shot it full of holes until blood ran out and the screaming stopped. if I remember correctly some grenades were used as well for good measure.
Why have .223 when you could have a 556. But not to start a caliber pissing contest it would appear that a standard AR is more than enough to punch through a shipping container I did not know this. I mean I wasn't particularly expecting it too stop it either I just had zero knowledge on it. duly noted to hide towards the edges if in need of cover behind one. Then again as was mentioned in the comments sandbags would be more effective. Dirt would probably be better though as sand is drainable I guess is the word. Like poke a hole in a bag of sand and it runs out but dirt is bigger I suppose not being made up of individual grains but more or less clumps. But that just may have to do with moisture content who cares.
you might want to mark the calibers after you shoot, before start shooting more and not remember what hole size comes from what munition. Just a thought.
Can you do a video of the container but put in foam insulation on one side. normally the container would need to be insulated. would the insulation be an advantage
The bottom does not provide that much protection. Unless the shot actually hits the steel cross member the floor is approximately 1 inch wood , many use bamboo
Google and/or Yahoo "ballistic board", "ballistic panel", and "ballistic drywall" (minus the quotes) to read up on the various flavors of composite ballistic board that you can hang up much like drywall. The thicker more expensive board / panel has a higher rating for bullet resistance. Do the searches above and be impressed with what is available, but also note the prices _starting at_ $380 apiece for 4' x 8' sheets from one company with lower prices. If space and weight must be kept to a minimum and you can afford it, a nice "safe room" could be set up in your house, for your loved ones to retreat to in case of attempted home invasion and whatnot. Or bulletproof the street facing walls in that city row house, or etc. You get the idea. On the opposite end of the scale, where space and weight factors can be high as long as the results are good and cheap, then sandbags or earth bags come to mind - same bullet / shrapnel stopping effect without having to bury the shipping container and then have to deal with drainage issues. I always wonder if the guys who bury these things install drain pipes UNDER the container so if heavy rains / snow melt soaks the ground and water leaks in, it has some easy way to drain out... a common issue with many home basements as well.

Thank you. I was thinking about the same Discovery Channel Doomsday program for years. Its a silly thing to use .22lr for doomsday penetration tests. 9x19, .223, .12ga thats the calibers of choice when you try to ride someones camp.
Hi, I have question ? I was legal firearms owner before with a restricted and unrestricted firearms license. Last 2014 when I renew my license I admit in license renewal form that I am undergoing treatment for depression , after a month three police officer went to my home and told they were sent firearms ministry to confiscate my license firearms. Until now I still thinking is admitting the truth make your license be revoked by the government wherein there are lots of police officer and some member of our armed forces are suffering from depression., but were allowed to handle restricted and high powered firearms. Please enlightened me on this matter. Thank you.
May want to consider that more than just the walls will be between you and the shooter. those don't just sit around empty, they are there for a purpose. so a 50bmg could be stopped if there are flag stone in it.
Agreed. There may be insulation, drywall, concrete, other finishes that may further slow down a bullet that penetrates. That being said, I may want to have the shipping crate encased in a exterior concrete finish. Was considering that already. This video is now making it a real thing.
+39Thorns Actually you could fill the cavities with sand from the top of the wall. There is a video of ballistics test against an ammo box filled with sand here on RUclips.
So basically if you shelter in a shipping container it will be Swiss cheese vs combat calibre rifles. Best to be on the offensive and have the initiative and not be a caged sheep.
one question please about Ammo and shipping Is there any option to send Ammo for ak47 from Usa to Europe via Shipping containers and how process is and do i need anything any license or anything please if somebody no about this thanks
The "preferred" .22 caliber of our enemy, ergo 5.45×39mm? Doesn't want to shoot up someone else's Conex box. Oh Canada! I bet if you lived in Alberta, you'd do it.😂
I guess anyone can be an expert now dressed in mix matched camo's, online bought TAC vests and no training. Or is that the new way of loading and handling a weapon. I've been out for some years, so my bad if I'm ignorant.
In Blackhat the good guy cops are engaged in a firefight with the bad guys. The good guys use pistols and bad guys use assault rifles. In true Michael Mann fashion, one of the good guy cops gets completely shredded while in cover behind a shipping container, which is shown to be full of holes. Testament to Mann's pursuit of fire arms fidelity, which he makes a point of in all his movies. Luckily, bad guys have bad aims and are shooting way too high, so the rest of the good guy cops survive.
Jesus. Skip to 4:00
Thank me now.

Pretty sure a mortar shell isn't a bullet

Surround it with sand bags and it would work. That's what we did in Iraq

Yeah id rather just build a shelter out if sandbags. A lot if people do it and cover it with cob.

But only 40 footers
Thank you. I thought it wasn't very helpful that he didn't explain what he was doing by doubling up.
Having punched through 1/4" soft steel plate at 100m with a SKS I had little doubt that Warsaw pact ammo would tear through a container with ease.
That's why if you use them as a wall around your compound you stack layers of sandbags inside with plywood to hold them up.
+Radioman909 inside ? and then have a unusable narrow hallway. sand bag and/or stucco the outside
ihavehotmail2
The sandbags only take up about 12-14 inches then you are left with 7 ft.
on each side then youre left with 6 ft
Stack the bags on the outside
The Immortal
Then everyone know where not to shot. Place them 4 feet high against the inside wall and you'll still have plenty of room to walk around inside the container!
Take a container, and surround the outside with logs like a log cabin. Only a 50 bmg or larger will have a shot.
Sand bags can stop more than wood. A .308 will sail through a telephone but stick in a sand bag
SixthSense67 not if you using an a refrigerator fitted shipping container.
Concrete.

That’s helpful, I’m planning on using Connex box near an area that we used for deer hunting and we lease out for a secondary home
most interesting. the suprise is the 223 frangable and slug did opposite of what I would have bet on
I think it has something to do with the shape of the bullet. .223 has more of a point to it. a slug is alot more rounded
I thought for sure the 9 mil would go trough, interesting. Thanks for the video ;)
9 mil. And 9mm are different fyi.
@@frazionetomaselli Please do explain mr.frazio... Since the slang abreviation of "millimeter" is just mil. just like a grand is for $1000 and not a grand piano, everyone is ok with that, and short for the same word millimeter is mm. Milli Meter... like on a ruler.... I'm all ears Mr English major!

An AP .50 caliber will penetrate 12" of reinforced concrete, ~5" or homogenous steel plate or ~72"of meat.
Those things would likely slow the bullet don "some", but I would not bet my life or the lives of my family on it. This was a good video and definitely food for thought!
I wish they would have put their results together before they filmed them talking on a table.
I would imagine if shooting a fully constructed one the distance between the two sides would have defeated the penetration of the rounds going through the first layer

Perhaps if the pieces were spaced the width of the container for same test, it could be different.
It would. More room for the bullets to tumble ( lowers penetration ) and to lose more energy.
Angled impacts would also affect the bullets more.
Na I disagree. an extra what 5 or 6 feet of air wouldn't change much. What went through would go through and what stopped would stop. Air doesn't do much to a bullet in 6 feet when it's traveling at well over 1500 feet a second.
almost every shipping container is standard 8ft wide
The imagine you're stuck in a hurricane or tornado earthquake what would you want to be in and what standard should your house be?
Interesting. Makes me curious about .50 Beowulf.
...albeit, not curious enough to test on my own shipping container.
Are shipping containers Bulletproof?? Unnecessary question. Is your home bulletproof? I think most people recognize that shipping containers just makes a quick home in a remote location, i.e. bug out location.
Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for!
Wow Rod, Thank You! That was a very cool video with some surprising results!
Yes, it stopped a 22 cal, but they shot it at the corner where the medal was thicker.
I’m watching this because of the preview for episode 11 season 4 on 9-1-1 on fox.
Pop off a few 7.62 x 39's. They are a favorite survivalist ammo for a reason.
Excellent video
im not very knowledgeable about guns or ammo. can someone direct me to a video that explains ammo. I dont even really know what a full metal jacket is...other then a really great movie lol
Unlike most scientific naming of thing bullet types and names litterally mean exactly what they say be it hollow point or fmj as explained.
only if you fill them with sand to the top, or weld on a half inch of AR 550 on all sides
Very interesting video...thank you!
Could you run the same test with a Level IIIA ballistic blanket on the inside of the shipping container panel and tell me if a 5.56 or 7.62 penertrates both steel side & blanket?
I noticed you guys didn't even BOTHER with 556 Green tip! LOL... woulda sliced through like BUTTER.
I noticed they didn't need to. 5.56 FMJ went through like butter. M855 Green Tips woulda gone through like air.
Yeah, too bad that the M855 Green Tip is not easy to get and Illegal to possess in most states.
Fantastic video Rod. Enjoyed it greatly..
I have worked a lot around shipping containers and been around firearms most of my life... the .223 data really is a surprise to me.
I'm curious what the outcome would be if a 50 beowulf or 454 socom were used. what do you think?
Just to be clear, one wall is only one sheet thick right? You put two on there to simulate shooting straight through to the other side right? You should have been more clear about that in the video. Otherwise great video.

what gauge steel would be easiest to weld to the container but cheap and still afford greater protection?
you might want to mark the calibers after you shoot, before start shooting more and not remember what hole size comes from what munition. Just a thought.
Interesting test, I never think about how a shipping container is made.
I saw a video on a dome home that withstood many of the higher calibers.

I hope you had a few of the shipping container company guys at the range - 'Fer Science! And to act as a good ambassador of the sport.
Cheers!
Sounds like a good start, just weld come plate onto the outside of one and bury it 4 feet.

These things need to be insulated anyway....stack the outside with sandbags or strawbales, or mounds of dirt.
This
+39Thorns Actually you could fill the cavities with sand from the top of the wall. There is a video of ballistics test against an ammo box filled with sand here on RUclips.
+CommonCentsRob
that would work only if you tamped the sound down a made it compact. lose sand doesn't work well
So basically if you shelter in a shipping container it will be Swiss cheese vs combat calibre rifles. Best to be on the offensive and have the initiative and not be a caged sheep.
hey, thanks for the video. how thick is one layer?
Doomsday prepping we have to prepare for angry yuppies
In the doomsday prepper show they even shot the corner post, not the sidewall

one question please about Ammo and shipping
Is there any option to send Ammo for ak47 from Usa to Europe via Shipping containers and how process is and do i need anything any license or anything please if somebody no about this
thanks
Are you allowed to have a handgun condition 1 in a holster at the range in canada ?
What about a thermo-nuclear warhead? Please test that.
i wonder what it would take to stop an armor piercing round or incineary round
What is an incineary round? Perhaps you mean incendiary??
probily. its a round that burns through its target.
What is probily? Perhaps you mean probably?
Hey Rod, What type of Vest are you guys wearing in the video?
Holly Wood Busted!😂
Interesting, indeed.
What is the gun at 4:00?
That shotgun name is "SAP6"🙋
sorry, my english is bad😫
calibremag.ca/dagger-sap6-shotgun-review/
The "preferred" .22 caliber of our enemy, ergo 5.45×39mm?
Doesn't want to shoot up someone else's Conex box. Oh Canada! I bet if you lived in Alberta, you'd do it.😂
Is the shipping steel containers you call seacans bombproof?
I wonder what the energy is like after penetrating both layers
Imagine having a compound with the walls made out of these filled with sand wood or what ever u pretty safe.
I guess anyone can be an expert now dressed in mix matched camo's, online bought TAC vests and no training. Or is that the new way of loading and handling a weapon. I've been out for some years, so my bad if I'm ignorant.
and also try 7.62x54r
In Blackhat the good guy cops are engaged in a firefight with the bad guys. The good guys use pistols and bad guys use assault rifles. In true Michael Mann fashion, one of the good guy cops gets completely shredded while in cover behind a shipping container, which is shown to be full of holes. Testament to Mann's pursuit of fire arms fidelity, which he makes a point of in all his movies.
Luckily, bad guys have bad aims and are shooting way too high, so the rest of the good guy cops survive.
Should have checked ak and some larger handguns.
Hey, any word on those mag cap and non restricted ar petitions?
It seems to be difficult to stop a 7.62x39. So obvious that it would pass that it was not even tested.
.223maybe, .22 or smaller yes... other wise no. propan tanks deflect shot gun and .22 but .303 just through it like butter.
7:30 water isolation is important, but not clearly explained. The inside drainage is not clear ... outside too.
before I watch it I'm gonna say, it depends on the caliber.
But it works every time in the movies,...LOL Very interesting actually, it did a little better than I thought it would,..
Not when you know what round to load and when to twitch your finger
.
They are made from Core 10 type steel.
