HOW MANY WOOD 2X4s CAN STOP A .22LR BULLET?

[@marklancaster5784]

thankyou now I know how much wood i need in my target

[@anton1949]

Glue them together, clamp till dry, then put them up against something that won't move when hit. Then see what happens.

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

Another video it went thru 2 then 1/4 way into the 3rd block

[@mrwayne5158]

Keep in mind .22lr has no metal jacket and the lead mushrooms before it can peirce more. .22 is capable of going further but needs the projectiles to be stronger.

[@angels3926]

at what distance you shot these 2x4?

[@Wes61]

I think the bullet lost velocity when the wood moved. I'm curious if it will go further if the wood is "fixed" by being bolted down or using a vice.

[@socksonfeet8125]

You didnt state the most important part, at what distance where you shooting from?

[@mrwayne5158]

He didn't state if they were Hollow points or what distance he was at. Most likely he wasn't far enough to make a differance between close shots though.

[@mikem.2078]

How far into the second piece did it go in? Most of the way, or close to the front? That could be important.

[@Matzah1982]

With my diana model 34 classic .22 air rifle shooting jsb domed 15.89 grain lead pellets with about 15 foot pounds of energy it will almost penetrate through 1 of the 24 pine wood boards as long as it don't hit a knot but it won't penetrate all the way through and lodge in another behind it but it will penetrate through a 3/4 of an inch thick pine wood board as long as it don't hit a knot and lodge in one behind it

[@Zenergist]

I think 3" of hardwood is really good for that round. Plus, I bet the hyper velocity rounds will punch through the second one. Under no circumstance do I think a .22 could go through more than 6" though.

[@jima3129]

I think the species would matter somewhat. No 2x4 is classified as a hardwood. I would think that Douglas Fir would stop better than SYP for sure. How dry would matter also, to some degree.

[@robblume6602]

What distance?

[@ernestwalden3894]

I was looking for a 2×4 today at work because I was wondering how many it would penatrate. But I couldn't find any 22 ammo LOL

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

Use Stingers, maybe get thru 3 blocks

[@davidhenderson3400]

I think it also depends on the gun being used. My pump action 22 has went though a salt treated 4x4 post at a range of 20 feet. You could see day light though the 4x4.

[@antoninogerbino4074]

What ammo? HV?

[@zzbarra]

I feel like everyone has that old bag of .22 rounds somewhere in their house...

[@jonathanjoestar4612]

in the midwest maybe

[@michaelbritain5546]

Yep me too, in the 🇬🇧 UK

[@antonelloromeo2118]

Hello tactical 45, is very interesting test,i am italy what inch 2x4? Tank's

[@cornellkirk8946]

antonello romeo that will be 2” x 4”

[@roberts1922]

Antonello - each board is 1.5 inches thick, or 3.81 cm

[@antoninogerbino4074]

​@@roberts1922not 2"?

[@psychopathicunity]

would have been more effective if there were spaces between the 2x4's as per the video on demo ranch

[@indalcecio]

Maybe, maybe not. There's a LOT of variables here. For example, think about this: do you think you could swing an axe and embed it into a 2x4? Of course, right? What if that 2x4 were resting on an air mattress? What if the 2x4 were resting on a table unsecured by anything? Those types of variables make a huge difference. A small piece of 2 x 4 simply resting on a table will move, which absorbs a lot of energy, while a heavy longer piece won't move as much and the bullet may penetrate deeper. A piece nailed to a solid bench will move even less, and thus probably penetrate even more.

[@devinespinoza5529]

I'm not a gun expert but I guessed it will pass the first one and the second one will stopped it

[@christianlibrul]

Always enthralling to watch people load their pew pews.

[@TheRedstoneNL]

how far was the bullet inside the second one??

[@TAC45]

3/4 of the way through the second 2x4

[@demo9119]

any chance you would sell your Mossberg 464?

[@TAC45]

+KrAz ÝöüñKå I am not selling the 464 at the moment.

[@nickmotsarsky4382]

Wait, you know guns, but you thought 6 or 7 whole 2x4's for a .22lr????? Lol. 3 inches of hardwood is impressive enough for that round.

[@jacman1111]

Wait a minute you think you know about 2 by 4's they're actually made of pine which is not Hardwood

[@michaelbritain5546]

Yep, all the other videos confirm it.👍

[@hankstrom9705]

I just did this in my shop with a hand gun. Went through 3 and stopped by the 4th. .

[@mikem.2078]

It went through THREE 2x4s? Pistol should have lower velocity and lower penetration. What happened?

[@jima3129]

Thank you, thats about what I thought, to be honest.

[@doorguner01]

here's a suggestion for fit kitchen body armor take denim layers glued together with liquid nails x3 sandwiched by two porcelain plates with steel roof flashing and Styrofoam on the inside of plate that goes towards your chest wrap the plates together with duck tape I would do it my self and shoot it but I don't have anyplace around here with a outside shooting range near me I'm 💩 out of luck on shooting outside. I love your vids👍

[@TAC45]

+terry jenkins Great Suggestion, will try to get this video done, am curious about the results.

[@doorguner01]

+Tactical.45 Awesome👍 It's nice to share ideal's and conversion and interact with youtubers

[@doorguner01]

+Tactical.45 so I'm I. I was putting up the large round dish plate and noticed how it covered my vital chest area and thought this could fit in a plate Carrie as dyi body armor. a dish plate in a plate carrier lol

[@remmyerickson4779]

Can you do this same test with a 45 handgun?

[@TAC45]

would but don't own a .45, maybe I will try a .40

[@remmyerickson4779]

I feel stupid. That is what I meant. Must have been a slip of the keyboard. My handgun is a springfield XD.

[@norton750cc]

ready for the 2x4 zombie attack now...

[@lanchanoinguyen2914]

so a ethanol alcohol toy gun even stronger than this?

[@doorguner01]

sandwich the plates like the way you'd put them up in the kitchen cabinet

[@TAC45]

+terry jenkins will do.

[@PhonkinPlants]

It can go through 2 2x4s it hast to hit it right. Most them won't make it tho.

[@ruthlesschoy]

Ah yes my 4x4 backstop will work nicely then

[@hockeymaskbob2942]

How many x wives will a 22 go through, asking for a friend

[@gavinator8018]

I know it can shoot through one, but I've shot through three x wives myself.

[@suhhdudee5153]

Murrica.

[@tactinot8458]

I guessed 4... Not even close

[@TAC45]

+TactiNot Yeah I was surprised too.

[@allenstewart7426]

Tactical.45 u should have tried more ammo then a hollow point

[@davidbuzzin426]

👍🇺🇸

[@TAC45]

thanks for watching

[@smokeya2]

I guessed 1.5

[@TAC45]

you were right, good guess

[@gavinator8018]

Lol, he's wearing earplugs for a 22LR! How loud does he think that gun is?

[@Zenergist]

.22 is plenty loud to cause hearing damage.

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

@@Zenergist Yet everyone wants to use a 9mm or 45 or even a SHOTGUN for in home defense ....

[@Zenergist]

@@ACommenterOnKZbin agreed. 22 lr is a perfectly capable round. Highly underestimated.
