For real! Lol. What I’ve learned from all the penetration tests is basically the only real kryptonite for bullets are sandbags. Presuming the bag holds together. Even 50 cal.
I can't believe this, but I jsut made a comment saying "Every time I watch an old vid from you guys, Eric looks like a character from the Matrix" and low and behold I look down and theres this comment.
Love this. Few people do tests like this. Someplace out there is a US military Test on varius calibers of guns on Various types of construction. This is telling because of the 5.56 inability to pen brick or cinderblock walls from a 45 deg angle, and in some cases from a full on 90 Deg
Excellent video guys. Very educational & blows away the myths that hiding behind a wall/car/house is going to stop what ever is being fired at you. This is almost something a lot of CoD playing kids could do with watching.
"In our opinion if a slug goes through a brick wall it wil pretty much go through whats on the inside" - maybe houses are constructed differently from in the uk but here you would have this the other side of the wall - cavity+insulation + another row of bricks! - also, if we use cinderblocks there usually filled up with concrete.
The first time I shoot a 12g. slug was in 1967.Rem. slugger, no idea what it would do. I set up an old coke bottle with 2 solid bricks behind it against a block wall of 10 x 10 building. The bricks& bottle turned to dust,went through both ribs of first wall across 10ft. room through the first layer of block on the second wall and stopped in the middle.
Ray and Barry it was a pleasure to meet you yesterday. Sorry I missed you Eric. Ray thanks for the Glock 17, and completing my ar-15 and ruger 10/22 build for me!
GLOCK23FULL Feel ya bro, here in Dominican Republic we pour helluva' lot of concrete in the blocks, steel bars and none of these three slugs would go through that! Not even at close range.
these tests are interesting but if I can make a recommendation try using CEB construction ( compressed Earth block) I saw another video where they were using 308 rounds and AK-47 rounds and we're not penetrating it will be interesting to see if all three shotgun rounds could penetrate a CEB wall.
Thanks so much for this demo. We have an idiot in our complex shooting stuff 3-4 times a week. Dumpster, cars, and apartments have bullet holes. We want to put concrete blocks to protect our bedroom which faces the parking lot.
Thing with both the brick and cinder walls is that just because you break the brick or block doesn't mean it went through. When ***** did the Brenneke slug it stopped before clearing 1 full cinder block, although it did destroy the block. I'd love to see this done with a big piece of paper or cardboard about 3ft behind the walls to see if the slug actually gets through and punches a hole in the paper or if just a bunch of stone/concrete blows into it.
***** True, however, in the slo-motion of the first round that did penetrate you can see the force of the exit; which the shrapnel on it's own would cause some damage. The first and third rounds cannot be counted towards anything due to the overall strength of the ends, same can be said about the second and third rounds of the brick wall. However, if you were to attempt to show that regardless of any popular wall you may find yourself behind, you are not safe.
In a typical wall there is sheathing behind the brick so it would be backed up better. The biggest failure is with the mortar giving way to the pressure. The backing helps this. Nice test!
One thing I'd like to make a note of, even if the bullet doesn't hit you, debris from the gun making contact with the cinder block or brick could harm you. It could even kill you if you're that unlucky.
Keep in mind that cinderblock walls aren't just a bunch of blocks laid together. They are cemented together, are filled with cement or concrete and are ALWAYS held together with steel rebar rods making them much stronger than the crappy "wall" you put up. Same goes for the brick wall. At least you made the plain wall realistic though.
I hate that. Basically everyone does this set up and say that the rounds can penetrate cinderblock walls. Ehh, no. You have to put in rebar then fill it with cement.
Depends on what it is. I agree that any structure that is using cinderblock as part of it's structural wall will be filled, but plenty of houses use cinderblock for privacy walls etc, and they're not reinforced or filled. That being said, a 50 BMG isn't going through 8" of solid concrete. 25mm will though. So testing a big fat ball of soft lead from a 12 ga against a filled concrete wall, might as well just shoot it into the ground and see if it comes out in China, about the same odds of penetration.
I'm gonna say you are right with the brick wall. It was noticeably weakened after the first shot. However, with the cinder block wall, each round went through a separate, undisturbed block. If anything, the fact that the blocks were attached made it much easier for the slugs to penetrate. If they shot a single block, it would be more likely to move backwards and absorb energy from the slug.
Seriously, the venerable Remington 870 express magnum (with 3 interchangeable barrels), an assortment of shells (slugs, buck, birdshot), and a handful of chokes, is perhaps the most versatile firearm you could have. It literally does everything. Defense, small game, big game, and even an emergency locksmith in a shell!
+metallitech architecture designs may vary, but each of the houses I've drilled into for work have only had one layer of brick, even mini mansions upwards of $700k. I'm near Atlanta, GA in the U.S. I did go to one large home, though (about 10,000 sq ft) and it was 100 years old, and they had stone work on the exterior, which was about 1.5 to 2 inches thick (~ 3.75 to 5.00cm). Luckily I didn't have to drill into that home, and my bits would not have been able to do the job anyways.
SuperN0va , I commented the same thing up above! Concrete and brick don't fully cure for up to 100 YEARS! We worked on a 125 year old red brick post office and almost went broke buying so many drill bits! The first hole we started took us almost an hour, 10 standard masonry bits and only drilled about 1/2"!! LOL I'd like to see trying to shoot thru that!
Any CMU wall over 6 feet would be full grout. This a standard UBC code. Meaning they fill the cells of the CMU block with concrete. I do not think it would go through the CMU if used in a standard build construction.
Just bought some of the home defense rounds. I always make sure to do research on what each round I buy is capable of. Definitely penetrates more than I thought it would.
So if the manufacturer pronounces it Breh-neh-kee, are they wrong too? www.brennekeusa.com/cms/h_products.html. Watch the video at the bottom of the page.
Wouldn't it though still be much better to hide behind every of these walls, instaed of having no cover, since the shooter might not see where exactly you stand => Miss/ waste bullets/ not even shoot at all ?
Concrete blocks are filled with concrete tho and are solid in house walls, they are not empty inside like these. Making it 10 times harder to get through
Yeah, American homes are not typically built to carpet bombing specifications. But on the other hand, we have gun rights so not too many people screw with us.
the last job I worked on with my dad, we used similar concrete blocks with slots for horizontal steel rods, as well as vertical ones. 2 rods horizontal, 3 rods down the cores of each block, then filled with concrete!, try hitting that with a shotgun slug! :D
I like the forward flinch when you thought there was another round left in the gun :) I would have liked seeing maybe a piece of plywood behind the bricks to see if the slugs had enough to go through that too but good video. The side by side was great to see.
When we build wall we have 1/2 re bar and we fill mast of the block pockets with cement. Reinforced concrete is the best. Wouldn't take cover behind a lose cement blocks. Good video
I understand that. I worked in construction for years. Everything that you are saying is correct. Most brick houses on the east cost are not modern construction though and it is easy to tell if your house is a more traditional brick construction because every so many feet there will be a row of bricks where you see the end instead of the side. I live in a town where all the brick buildings are 100 years old or more so here the brick would provide better protection.
It's nice to see Chad shooting, as pretty as Eric is, variety of presenters is what makes this show. Having all different folks who are good at different things.
distance is another factor, I could realy get into this with you guys concerning this test,.. I think this is the first time in all the years I have been watching you and barry that you went off half cocked,... if possible please redue this test because this is a big issue, especially being that our homes in most cases would be where the standoff would take place, I do not have the time nor the equipment to do it myself other wise I would contribute, Keep the video's coming,..! I enjoy them,..!
I believe that it is done to code for whatever state you live in if the building was permitted. I live on the west coast in WA where we are prone to have earthquakes so for structural walls they use rebar and fill. Some states don't use IBC (international building codes) and so they would use National building code where do have different requirements.
I really appreciate videos such as this... This is good info, a lot more useful to some of us over gun reviews. I'd be interested in if you could ever put together a video on what to take cover behind in a convenience store. Personally, I'd think a display of beer or soda would stop the first couple of rounds since liquids don't compress, however, that is just an assumption. Or perhaps the ice filed cold beer coolers near the check-out...
You will probably never see this. By some miracle you do, by further powers you actually perform the test. I have an idea I don't have the money or resources to do. Neither the fan base to get it seen. But a golden idea I know people would like to see. I haven't found any test with 556/223 with brick barriers and ballistic gel blocks/torsos behind. You could have done this in this video and you could take it very far with Kentucky windage science. different, common barriers like this video, with different calibers, loads and bullets. Guys, I love your work and videos. I'm going to hope the extra long mile and ask if all of this is possible, if you see this, decide to produce it. That you let me join you on set, just to witness and hang out. (behind the camera, not in front.) What a Badass video and experience that would be. Anywho, carry on.
Thats why i have sandbags in the walls. Between the sheetrock and studs i have a 6 foot stack of sandbags in my defensive locations in the house for that very reason. I couldn't do them all around because of too much weight but i picked the best defensive locations and packed them up with sandbags so youll have to shoot through the bricks cynder blocks sandbags and sheetrock to get to me.
very good and i love all these vids, but a structural cinder-block wall has not only steel in it but is usually filled with concrete as well. pretty sure even the heavy slug wouldn't go through it. the rest is spot on.
On cinder block the 1 oz was slower and transferred more energy to the wall meaning it does more damage but does a tin less damage after the wall compared to the other two.
Even with the best building codes, poured and reinforced cells are at least 4' apart. In older homes only the corners are poured and reinforced. The safest option is ICF and tilt wall construction, but it isn't hard to predict how 5" of solid concrete is going to perform.
I am upgrading the walls with two more rings of sandbags. Makes the kitchen smaller, but more cozy at the same time. Good video.
Do you live in Syria? Lol.
For real! Lol. What I’ve learned from all the penetration tests is basically the only real kryptonite for bullets are sandbags. Presuming the bag holds together. Even 50 cal.
Lol...funny!!
Log cabin! A slug ain't getting through.
@@Charveljay incendiary rounds 😏

These outdoor range videos with Eric, Chad and of course BARRY were and always will be the best IV8888 videos!!!
Chad looks like he would have pumped up kicks faintly playing in the background wherever he went
lol
In other words, if someone is breaking into your house, just shoot a slug thru the wall.
Don't even have to go outside! 😂
No matter which of those you hide behind, even if the slug misses, you'd still get a nice face full of shrapnel
TacticalDesire yep
It's called spalling. It is where the inner side of the barrier fragments from the impact on the other side. Small fragments are sent from the barrier
a 12ga with slugs or 00 buckshot is nothing to miss with.
2500 to 3500 ft lbs of energy. Pure awesome.
*mess

In a house, cinderblock would be filled with concrete making it a hell of a lot harder to penetrate
In a tank, there is steel in an angle, these bullets cant penetrate it, not even close.
You right plus rebars in Puerto Rico we put concrete and limestone inside
no wonder the american houses fall at the slightest tornado...
GLOCK23FULL Feel ya bro, here in Dominican Republic we pour helluva' lot of concrete in the blocks, steel bars and none of these three slugs would go through that! Not even at close range.
I know brother people don't know how hard is to take down a wall like that even with a shipping gun I don't want to remember

Nathan Stotts In effect they demonstrated that if the first round didn't do the trick, rounds 2,3..... etc. will definitely do the trick
***** Cinder blocks are filled with concrete, so..
TheDaedalx The half inch pine lethality test would be a good one. If you get filled with lead or concrete or both you're going to have a bad day
also the that video your talking about he had other cinder blocks behind the first one which could have stopped it vs going through one bloxl
In a typical wall there is sheathing behind the brick so it would be backed up better. The biggest failure is with the mortar giving way to the pressure. The backing helps this. Nice test!
cinder block wall should be filled with concrete and rebar, not hollow, call that test a fail on your behalf
all these people do the test like this.. it is absolutely stupid. a true concrete/cinder block wall would stop any of those rounds.
Yeah I shot a cinderblock wall with 12 gauge buckshot and it barely chipped the surface
jammer2150 what if the wall was built by Mexicans?
One thing I'd like to make a note of, even if the bullet doesn't hit you, debris from the gun making contact with the cinder block or brick could harm you. It could even kill you if you're that unlucky.

Not true at all
Awesome video and very cool editing. It really makes me wonder just what would be necessary to effectively stop a shotgun slug.
@mightbewrong161 I'm Danish too and was thinking it's not often hou see single stack walls. Would be interesting to see what will happen on
