Hahaha Learned this the hard way in combat. My go to weapons will always be 7.62, 12g,45acp. No matter how heavy they are compared to other weapons out there.

What this video has taught me is that being a mannequin sucks and that building a structure made of block, brick, plywood and drywall in the line of fire is a very bad idea.

Looking at that tumble on the walls and that .50 cal. reminds me of Jack Black in The Jackal, when he yells to Bruce Willis...."Spawl, Baby....Spawl !! "

Good video. Seeing the comparatives really drives home the effectiveness of the 7.62x51 round for secondary penetration. Thanks for sharing.

Great video, thanks for sharing. Makes me love my 50's even more. To bad they didn't fire a burst of Raufoss rounds through the .50.

| more info
here is some more info since now we see the normal constuction we all live in will not stand up too balistics we need upfit somehow for our protection not just for small arms but also for hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, and the like I have no connections with any company or sugest 1 over others just showing videos from1 you do your own research before used of any. one could build a safe room in the home as small as a closet or as large as budget allows. could do a small part now and add on as $ allows. http://www.youtube.com/linexprotects#p/u/40/GVKhrrJ4fCU http://www.youtube.com/linexprotects#p/u/30/hXyGJPP1W74

It's a shame we couldn't use Bin Laden's mansion for this ammo test. Of course, we'd need to wait till he was at home!

I live in a 2-story frame house with a full brick facade. I no longer feel safe.
