Filling the cavities in the cinderblocks with sand or gravel increases their stopping power. Backing the cinderblocks with 3/4" plywood and trying. 308 or 7.62x39 would be a good SHTF experiment, too.
Here in south Florida we have building codes for homes that is called CBS: Concrete Block Stucco. Block walls, that have rebar running through the cavities and then the block wall is back-filled with concrete(for hurricane resistance). And then finished with a coat of stucco. The stucco works as a homogenous surface that keeps driving rain from penetrating into the wall and also it can't blow off like siding. I would imagine the walls of my house are pretty bullet proof.
Pretty sure the brick exploding is what hit the meat bag not the bullet. While u were looking at the meat and the brick u could see part of the bullet tip laying beside the broken part of the brick. But to me that just appeared to be red brick that the bag caught. Not saying it wouldnt hurt but the bullet prob stopped before a meat bag would stop it.
Change the bricks places with the wood studs I bet the results will be different. If the bullet hits the bricks first I t will dump most of it's energy probably won't go thru the stud!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind, and honest comment. We are trying to get some improvements on our camera work. We are pretty new to this. Thanks for watching
On your brick test -- take a second look --- the bullet is lying on the table top -- just behind the brick -- as if it hit the meat and stopped / dropped!
Before I finish watching (if I finish), cinder blocks have more strength when mortared together, bricks have more strength with concrete between them, better to build real world barriers for a video like this, ie.: a corrugated stud and plasterboard wall, a solid core wooden door, mortared block walls, and an actual foundation pour of concrete. Also, your typical shooter is not going to shoot at the same hole. They are going to spray their fire. I applaud our concept but think your execution leaves a lot to be desired.
I can vouch for Lavern007. Years back I shot a cinder block wall with a 30-06, 44 mag, 5.56, and 7.62x39, all under 50 yards. None of the rounds penetrated, even when grouped close together. I’ve also filled blocks with concrete and fired 660 grain fmj from a 50 bmg into it. Recovered that round about 4” in. A real world test would be more beneficial.

Barrel length? Huge with the 5.56
“Tuba four”
I don’t think the bullet pierced the meat on the brick test. Looks like it shattered the brick and a brick fragment cut the bag open.

Cool concept. Really awesome but your camera work needs work. Hard to watch. I hope you get better at filming bc I like your video ideas.

I would like to see you try that with some Fort Scott Munitions 5.56 TUI ammo.
I have ran across any of that. I would like to try that
Try that with 7.62x39... it'll go through with enough power to punch through a NATO kevlar helmet.
Hope you can hit the wall with an AK.
Good video keep up the good work
Great video. You just earned a subscription.
Thank you very much
That round will decimate a car 7 Barrel if you had to defend yourself and being fired upon supersonic 300 Blackout bullet it's a good one too
Gibberish.
What is the twist of the barrel...that's the test.
I believe it is 1:9
Why R.O.T? You thinking it'll drill through with a faster spin?
@@grisslebear 16in barrel??
1:9? Damn, that's a slow twist. Maybe try a1:7 or 1:6 for better stability.
@@michaellucas8927 1:9 twist is optimal for M855.

I see what you're talking about but, that's a piece of brick.
Please hold the camera still ,and get better angle.
Pick your rifle off the ground!!!
If they are not dependable enough to lay on the ground, then I don’t think I would trust them much if I really needed to use them😁

Where's your video @lantern007
