there is an actual youtuber who tests that with all licenses and also.. in texas (of course) a collab with the Texan ordinance testing channel would be awesome
my comment reply above with the collab youtuber who can do it, is named Ordinance Lab... they would for sure do this, and also there in Texas with all licenses for actual grenades for content
@@BeneHeller additional vibration means force consumption. go back to physics class bucko. edit: only a fail of a human would exclaim the sentence "loss of 3d-rigidity"...
@@BeneHeller It's flat because 1.8mm stainless steel panels CANNOT be stamped. DeLorean found this out the hard way. Even though to DeLorean's stainless steel panels were much thinner, they kept breaking the stamping machines.
@@BeneHeller You just contradicted your first statement, let me bet you know nothing about engineering and you leave countless comments everywhere how bad Tesla is because you watch to much videos of the opposition telling you to hate tesla ....yet here you are hating ...Bleh bleh bleh bleh (The sound a little sheep makes)
From what Tesla engineers said it’s only bulletproof to subsonic rounds. I’m not a gun expert but I think that few people use those unless they plan on using a silencer.
It's not even subsonic round proof. JerryRigEverything did a video where he tested some other bullets and even a round carrying half of a subsonic 7.62x39's energy went through the door.
@@noname-wo9yyI think it's the opposite really, it's highly ductile so it's able to bend a lot without fracturing so is able to absorb the bullets energy.
I think that's actually coming from the steel and not the shot! Lead is non-ferrous, so it's very unlikely to spark, so what we're actually seeing is little particles from the truck being shot (no pun intended) outwards and sparking.
@@BenMarvin no, that's actually how 12 gauge shot shells work. The lead from each pellet is impacting the stainless steel alloy at high speed, which will definitely cause sparks. Finally ratioed a verified channel...
@@DiamondMaster115 the Hagerty cyber truck video had similar effects added for no raisin. Haha ratio. My account has been verified longer than that term has been around.
Yup, bullet technology has came quite a long way since the 80’s. Especially Frangible ammo, which is designed to disintegrate upon impact with a hard object. Was created for times when you need to to shoot steel plates up close for practice.
Someone is going to come along and make this a fully decked out cybertruck with bulletproof glass, emp protection, and all that jazz. I look forward to seeing that video
good luck with EMP protection/signal shielding. Seals are a nightmare in the industry, so hard to get a durable seal that shields reliably. Plus with the shear amount of surface area when it comes to vulnerable components the difficulty in that will be crazy high
I'm no bow and metal expert but it doesn't seem far fetched that a powerful bow with the right arrowhead could puncture the side of a cyber truck. Bullets are typically rounded off and not sharp while arrows are extremely sharp. Obviously you could infer if you knew the technicalities of the materials involved but what's the fun in that Also in practicality, if the arrow could securely stick into the side it'd make for a great way to stick a tracking device on the truck if you can't get up close to it
Interesting breakdown. Didn't see the cracked rear window in the highway pictures previously, nice to have the explanation about the double shotgun going through the panel.
Very impressive. I know I am interested in it, as my priorities for a car are always : Comfort, fuel efficiency, and the ability to survive a firefight. Driving in rural Ireland can be very dangerous, those deer can be nasty.
I’m really glad I got to see this test. I was on the fence about the cyber truck being as it’s huge weight diminishes range for no real benefit, it’s almost certainly going to kill me if I crash in it, it certainly will kill any pedestrians I crash into, it’s cargo capacity is absolutely terrible, and it’s hugely expensive compared to its competition. But now I’ve seen it’s doors can resist some handgun bullets I’m absolutely sold. After all that is my number one priority for a road vehicle.
It's crash tests are very good, especially side crash tests. If you collide with another suv, you will probably go through it like butter. So its an anti SUV weapon. If i was tesla that's how i would market it.
I can't wait for this thing to show up on Demolition Ranch and see how it deals with some spicy bullets. But this was already some pretty cool slowmo work.
It won't last very long on demolition ranch as soon as he starts shooting intermediate calibers, it's going straight through and when he brings the 50bmg out its gonna be a mess
@@aufoslab You must have slept under a rock. Cybertruck swapped its design for purely structural pannels to a more practical conventional frame with pannels adding upon the structural element but being separated from the frame itself. So you get both helping without the risk of pannel damage translating into body damage. The body helps making the car incredibly tough, its just no longer the only thing on the structual load path
None of this would happen in the real world. People using 16" barreled AR15's and AR10's or AK's would shred through this. This is a marketing gimmick. No one uses tommy guns anymore and M4's are used for room clearing not firefights.
@@curiousthinker8040 that’s what I don’t get because when Elon initially announced that he said they are bulletproof but now the dude is saying they weren’t intended to be bulletproof. And he seems not confident and even shocked
@@romeocornell69 I think after Elon's initial demonstration, nobody was quite sure how things would play out. Overall though, I think the extra durability is going to make a lot of rich people happy. The price of a Cybertruck is nothing to them if it means their family is a little safer.
rich people that have to worry about their family getting shot up are already buying bulletproof cars lol. with actual bulletproof glass@@curiousthinker8040
you dont hide behind vehicle doors to be completely safe, but it is safer, the door at the very least slows down bullet velocity and hopefully deflects it somewhere else....but still, the movies do make it seem like bullets dont go through which is untrue...awesome test, what a beautiful work of visual and technical art this truck is.
I think the next cyber truck will have a mine resistance V-hull, angled side and lower front, an automatic weapon mount on top, some conposite armor, night vision equipment, armor up to 8mm all round thickness, kevlar spall liner, anti radiation liner, run flat tire, NBC protection and a diving snorkel. Basically a military vehicle since one of the selling point is being hand gun proof and you might never know what the aliens on mars use to defend against human colonizer haha.
Hey man maybe dont imply human beings are 'wildlife'. Just because youre scared of people who live in cities, it doesnt give you the excuse to compare them to animals. Get a grip
Eh...crime rate overall in America is falling, while mass shootings (in suburban malls, schools cinemas etc) are rising. So maybe the urban poor is not the "wildlife" you should be watching out for.
@@jantschierschky3461 I mean he did hit it with the most common rounds your likely to face. But I agree I would like to see what the limits truely are. Also Teflon bullets.
@@rockyjohnson9243 Teflon bullets won't do any better, but buck cracking window makes it clear those are not bullet proof. So the whole video is a lot of crap
The shotgun pellet that went through was stopped by the glass panel before it went through the inside panel. Perfect opportunity for someone to test how it holds up with the windows up and no extra glass protection. My guess is some would go through then
@@hungryalienthey mentioned faster stuff or ap will go thru.. but thats the case for any car. These stop a lot of commonly carried calibers. Itll give you a better chance then any other vehicle from factory without going to a specific armoring center.
2:11 Actually the MP5SD is specifically designed to reduce standard 9mm ammo (which is supersonic) to sub-sonic velocities. The entire barrel has vents along it to bleed off pressure and reduce velocity. So, no, the bullets probably aren't going faster. They are going even slower than the rounds out of the handgun, which is evident from the fact the dents aren't as deep.
It's funny because he said they were traveling faster but the caption said otherwise. It showed 1100 fps for the Glock and 950 fps for the MP5. At least the video editors knew what they were talking about.
Excellent point. I'd also note that even the thinner weaker steel used in most cars, is pretty detrimental to ballistic peformance. I'll take any car's door for cover, if someone was shooting at me, over standing with no protection.
Agree, this was done intentionally because the MP5 is used in close quarters and you don't want the round punching through multiple walls and hitting people several rooms away. Same reason you don't go using 223 in close quarters...
I remeber seeing this hours after the video released. I just went to the Peterson Automotive Museum and saw this beautiful piece of art on display with the bullet marks and all! Amazing!
Not sure why you'd be nervous about the Tommy Gun, it's just .45 which is deadly to humans but isn't known for penetration. For a real test, try some rifle rounds, although seeing the damaged window after the shotgun hit it isn't very promising since buck/bird shot isn't known for penetration either. Of course, context is important since the Cybertruck isn't built to be truly bullet proof, just resistant up to a point. So for a not truly armored vehicle, it did pretty well!
For how "advanced" and heavy this truck is, I would want it to at least stop green tip 5.56 rounds. There's no way this thing will be bullet proof and a common thing. Rich people and people considered VIP will be riding around in these awful looking trucks.
I got some cut outs from a air handlers at work and they were stainless used them for targets same thing just round dents from 9mm and 45 acp .22 long but .223 would go through for sure its more bullet resistant not proof.
You be able to drive through the ghetto projects and the hood and not worry if people are shooting at you or not not bad for a rolling door stop I'm very Impressed if I had the money I would buy one I like the unique look of the cyber truck
People do aim for windows… doesn’t mean they’ll hit them though. And this is more to show off how strong the truck is rather than saying it’ll save your life. If it’s bulletproof then it’ll probably be fine against a 2x4 falling onto it or something.
It’s because the public couldn’t understand the vision about the truck. Now the people will see what is it about it. ✌🏻 It is not advertised as an “armored vehicle”. To me, this is the “next level”. A better performance above all. THAT SOUNDS GREAT TO ME. ✌🏻 1st🥇 World Class Grand Master for the Armoring Industry I’M D ARMOR MASTER 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇦🇪🇲🇽🇧🇷🇻🇪🇦🇷
It still looks ridiculous. Vehicle design is dead. Lazy...Looks like a 3 yo kid designed it with a Crayola in 20 seconds after looking at his Lego pieces. Pathetic. Do better.
Yes, because when I purchase a vehicle I really need to consider whether or not it is bullet proof since I live in a small rural town in the North of England.
I think the reason the bullets don't penetrate: A) It's a flexible steel so it has some room to act like an inertia cushion. B) That 1.8-2.0mm adds structural rigidity.
@@miguellopez3392 Mate. Flexibility is incredibly important in steel - especially in an application like this. What does not flex, breaks. The cybertruck is likely made out of 301 spring steel. Yes, it's strong, yes it's hard. But it is also elastic, which is incredibly important. It can bend and flex, then return to it's original shape without damage. And yes, spring steel is a type of hardened steel.
@Artyomthewalrus it's their own formula of harden cold rolled steel.l they use on the starship rockets. Flexibility is important in crunch zones, and the structure is designed to collapse despite the harden steel.
@@miguellopez3392 mate, they said it themselves in this very video "a special alloy designed to be ductile". You need the ductility in everything mechanical except the very surface layer of stuff that experiences a ton of sliding like gears, endmills, saws, other mechanical components. Those still need a ductile core to not shatter under impacts because stuff that doesn't bend, shatters.
@GTAmaniac1 designed to be dutile so it doesn't damage the equipment that bends it but still primarily a harden steel which is why it cant be bent into a smoother shape, what you are thinking more of is things like modern katana swords and train rail, the metal sheet is to thin to really take advantage of soft core.
Any car door will stop shotgun pellets at that range, my God dam carrhart coat did the same thing when my hunting buddy shot me in the opposite ditch with a 12 gauge shotgun fifteen feet away, real life is not like what you see in movies
It looks like up to 450-500 joules without AP properties, pretty good, I expected it to be only 250-300 joules, so up to .22 lr and shotgun. At 45° and below, it could deflect even weaker rifle projectiles.
fair dues, as a gun person I was ready to say that this test wasn't going to be accurate to real gun fire, but it absolutely is. I don't expect it to stop a rifle round, but not much will stop a rifle round. I would genuinely fell safer in this truck than my current one.
In Europe we are more worried about how they are gonna get you out in a crash. Can't easily break the windows or the bullet-proof steel, so I guess you'll just burn to death in the worst case. But at least you won't be shot...
I was hoping they'd show a rifle but I can't blame them lol. For 99% of population, pistols are what you'd need to worry about anyways for things like carjackings. I wonder what it would take to get one rated for .762; maybe same panels with a gap? (I am by no means a ballistics/armor expert lol)
So many autistically challenged (and triggered…pun intended) Europeans and libbies whinging and nitpicking calibers.lol A: It wasn’t designed as an armored car and only were claims made that the cold rolled stainless panels are bullet resistant to specific calibers. B: Even armored cars are ‘only’ bullet resistant according to levels. C: It can be fitted with bullet resistant windows and it’s still more bullet resistant than any other mass produced vehicle. D: Commenters here lack reading comprehension and reasoning skills.
@@Mr.JesseR do you know how big it is over here I have been to every state in the USA traveling for work and I don't carry a gun with me never one time in 30 years have I felt unsafe or scared of being shot most people and places are very nice
@@Mr.JesseR you read news online and think it's happening in every city over here and fail to realize most of it's from a few bad areas in the big cities and there's thousands of cities and miles that are safe you would have no idea what it's really like unless you live here like I do
The irony in all of this with the Cybertruck is that AMA52K by Amazon had this plan for long time and it basically in every way outperforms this thing.
Capitalising the previous steel ball incident as a step in marketing the current version is a marketing genius, and honestly appealing, given how safe it would make people using the vehicle, especially in zones with moderate to high crime rates.
The steel ball incident was obviously marketing as well. Elon knew it would get the Cybertruck a lot of attention. Elon used the old "any press is good press" strategy.
@@tylerjerome4365 I think it would generally be a move-out period because that's abnormal for your average city; yes crime happens, yes people get shot but if you ever feel you "need" a bullet resistant/proof vehicle to live in an area there are honestly better places to live.
@@honorquestI'm pretty sure he meant being outside the truck. If you are using the truck as hard cover then the front is the only place the truck couldn't protect you from. Being beside or behind the truck keeping the engine block between you and the threat would be how to utilize it for protection.
@@honorquest Any angle between the engine block and gun fire helps as long as it's between you and the gunfire. And yeah I meant more so if you are outside a vehicle using it as cover. If you were inside the only option is to get low try and position your head and chest behind the block.
