Just replying to myself because I watched the video: the Tommy gun was loaded with hollow points, the pistol was a 9 mm Glock and shooting regular lead bullets and one of them penetrated, and the shotgun was 00 buckshot, and even the buckshot had a penetration. Their excuse for both penetrations was "two hit right in the same spot," but that is pretty doubtful. They also used a suppressed MP5 in the mix, which would have lower velocity (and thus less penetration) than the pistol, and shot the same ammunition as the pistol. All in all, a very unimpressive trial.
- trogdor 3y agoSuppressors don’t have a significant effect on muzzle velocity [0]. That said, in my experience, most people who shoot suppressed intentionally shoot subsonic rounds, since they are inherently quieter. If anyone in Arizona gets a Cybertruck and is interested in more testing, I own a (legal) machine gun and I would be honored to test your vehicle’s bulletproofing. I’ll even supply the ammo.
