Kentucky Ballistics' tornado shelter chips on the inside

Scott's concrete-shelter test reveals that stopping a bullet and keeping the interior intact are different questions.

Can A EF5 Tornado Shelter Stop A 20mm Solothurn Anti-Tank Rifle ???

Richard, the cloth mannequin inside Kentucky Ballistics' tornado shelter, has a problem before the anti-tank rifle even enters the equation: concrete is breaking off the wall beside him.

Scott's escalating firearms test drew about 1.2 million views since yesterday. Its target is a reinforced-concrete shelter he describes as EF5-rated, with rebar, wire reinforcement and four-inch-thick walls. Rather than recreating a storm, he asks what happens when increasingly powerful rounds strike it.

The smaller handguns mostly chip the surface. Then Scott checks inside. "We actually knocked concrete off on the other side," he says, finding interior damage even where a bullet hasn't passed through. He installs a camera to capture what happens on Richard's side of the wall.

That distinction gives the demonstration more to follow than holes appearing in concrete. A powerful revolver makes the interior bulge; the .500 Bushwhacker subsequently punches through, leaving its brass projectile on the floor. A shotgun slug produces substantial damage and more interior fragments without penetrating. The rifle tests bring another breach from the .277 Fury.

The upload includes a paid headphone segment. The channel says its firearms demonstrations take place on a private range under trained supervision.

Scott has recently tested folding shotguns and weapons against a Demogorgon target. Here, the revealing detail is less fantastical: the outside of the wall doesn't tell the whole story of what's happening inside.
