Great video. Very dedicated to staying the course with the lightening! The only thing I was hoping you would do is to look on the back side of the metal plate. Have a great day

[@jacktheshark7440]

Thanks Mark Pfleiger¡ I made another video where I showed the back of the plate and it has the same width (1/8 inch) take a look kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHLYpXaJqcyia7M

[@StudSupreme]

Bullets were different weights - 115, 180 and two 158 grain. Also, there were other differences - fully vs semijacketed. Further testing, especially with bullets that more closely match up, would be quite interesting.

I think the test was not even. Because the projectile of the .38 Special was bare lead. While the other 3 calibers were full metal jacket. And the latter are more piercing.

Good test, it was necessary to show the back of the board. Many people think that 9mm is the best caliber for all cases, but it is not so. Despite being Brazilian this Taurus revolver is good.

[@diveron]

It would have made the video better to show the back of the plate. Mentioning the distance would be helpful too. Otherwise, the video has a lot of good information.

[@johnl.5117]

This hints that in a pinch, that thickness of what is probably a relatively soft, mild steel will give one a reasonable chance of cover from most pistol rounds rather than just concealment. If angled and not almost square on to the shooter, the steel would deflect a round much more effectively. That's an "angle" to remember in most urban settings where steel of different thickness and layers are around. I wonder what calibers the 2 sides of a steel mail box would deflect?

[@wolfred1219]

Wondering what was the distance to the plate? I attempted to replicate your test, but unfortunately 9mm hollow point and 9mm full metal jacket (124) went straight through at 7 and 10 meters.

I have shot frequently many steel plates of 1/8 inch and have never got penetration with the 9mm nor with the 40s&w but with the 357mag (125gr) it does go through almost always.

Perhaps this may depend on the type of steel used? Mild steels/low carbon steels without alloying with other metals like manganese would be substantially weaker than say common spring steels like 1070 (by American standards) given the same type of heat treatments

If the 40s&w had a cone shaped nose like 9mm usualy does, I bet it would have punched thru .. but 40 has a flat face and most likely dumps most of it's energy at impact ..

[@davidh9659]

With pistol calibers, 'penetration mechanics' comes down to pushing out a more or less caliber sized plug from the sheet metal. I'd be hesitant to say things like round nose is better suited for that purpose.

[@kleec7879]

Use .40 in 165gr or 155. Speed kills armor but not pistol rounds. Not sure what you were trying to prove.
