Compressed Earth Block Bulletproof?

In this video we take some of our left over blocks that have been setting in the weather for the last 4 years and we do a ballistic test. This is a test I have been wanting to do for a while. Come see the different calibers that we shoot at this block and see how it holds up. Not only are these blocks tornado proof I believe they are bullet proof too. Enjoy the video and remember to hit that like button. Thanks for watching.

Iv seen hempcrete vids showing how well it holds up. I wonder if some type of hybrid with CEB and hempcrete could increase the structure integrity of the blocks while keeping the cost down

I remember some guy telling me that the two just don't mix. But that was CEBs. CEBs shouldn't have any organic material in them. But I would imagine something like cob might partner up better with Hemp.

Are these stabilized with cement or not? What did you use to compress these blocks?

Good time with the family.
What part of AZ are you in? If you don't mind sharing. We're in Phoenix.
You can just give the county of you're not comfortable giving the town.

Would you like to see a compressed earth block ABSORB bullets?! That is what I am working on! LOL! I like hanging on to lead!

[@SustainableLiving]

Yeah it is a little hard to come by these days.

Are you aware of the Pueblo Native American? They build their houses with local clay dirt but with a “smooth finish” exterior like stucco, you don’t even notice individual bricks.

Very little, would love to learn more

@@SustainableLiving All houses in Lebanon are bullet proof 🤣 surely for an area like middle east you need bullet proof houses . All houses made from cement blocks and concrete , and way stronger than american cement blocks

You should try making adobe bricks

What are the Lebanon homes made of to make them bulletproof?
