The Box O' Truth #19 - The Water Box O' Truth Part 3: Rifle Rounds - Page 3
We decided to try a round of .30 carbine Ball to compare.
It penetrated 7 jugs, or almost 4 feet, and had little bullet deformation.
Several have asked about the 8MM Mauser. It was always considered a big penetrator. This is a round of Ball Ammo. It penetrated 4 jugs, but then deflected and went out the top of the box.
But look at the damage to the box cause by the hydrostatic shock. The sides of the box are 1/2 inch particle board.
Some have asked about Armor Piercing (AP) ammo. Let's try one. I shot a round out of my Springfield 1903-A3.
