How Many Safes Does it Take to Stop a Bullet?

How many safes would it take to stop a bullet? My name's Parker. Welcome back to Ye Life where we take anything and everything and we shoot it with guns and we see what happens. Today, we have an entire table filled with pretty durable hotel safes. Something that you'd find in your hotel closet, Zach. They're designed to keep people out. They're designed to be durable. The question is, if you shot it, would it stop a bullet? And if it would not stop a bullet, how many would it take to stop a bullet? So we are gonna shoot all of these safes with higher and higher caliber bullets, starting small, going all the way up to a 50 cal and see how many it would take to stop each round. Fred is looking absolutely jacked today. He's got his sleeveless shirt on. He cut off his ye sleeves and he's getting a little sun. He's gonna be standing by in the back and he is gonna see if hotel safes would save your life if you had a bunch lined up in front of you. Zach, how do you open up this thing? Maybe we should show the people real quick. You're gonna wanna use the key. Oh, so this is what we're working with. Typical little hotel safe. These are like some bolts or something, I don't know. But that's what the inside looks like. Question is, where should I aim on this thing? I don't know. Maybe I'll just kind of aim, just kind of switch it up, aim at some different spots and see what happens. All right, starting out with our Ruger Mark IV and here's our little round of 22. Would this even go through the first wall of the first safe? Let's see what happens. Here we go. 22 versus a safe. Firing. Bounced off the top, Zach. Bullet hit right here and it did absolutely nothing to our safe door, Zach. Just left a tiny little gray mark. Pretty durable. Yeah, I was expecting it to go through. Yeah, not even a little crack on the other side of the door or anything. 22, zero. Let's move up. All right, we're moving up to the Glock 19. We have a round of nine mil here, ready to go. This is our next level up from the 22. Very popular round. I'm really excited to see what it does. I think it might go through the first wall, maybe. Let's see. Let's see what happens. I'm gonna aim right at the keypad here. Something popped off, Zach. So here was our entry right here. Got it open. Nothing, Zach. Nothing out the back right here. The backside is completely clean. Safe is good. Wow, it is nine mil proof. It didn't even go through the first wall. Safe's very bulletproof. Let's move up. All right, Zach, I'm getting a round of 45 ACP and here's our 1911 right here. What will this do? I'm assuming it's gonna do the same thing as the nine mil, which you never know. Let's see. Okay, let's do this. 1911 versus a safe. We hit the, we cracked the front. I think I see, yeah, definitely did not go through. Check that out. You can just see where it bounced right off on the inside there. And these are just like shards of the bullet right here. Oh, wow. Okay, so 1911 bounces right off of the front, similar to the nine mil. Let's move up. Okay, nothing has penetrated the front door of our first safe and we've shot three guns. Safes are very durable, but will they withstand the mighty 44 Magnum? Zach, we have around a fair load loaded in to our revolver here. This is the same revolver, Zach. I don't know if I ever told you this, that I took down a grizzly in Alaska with. Yeah, you've told me. I have? Yeah, a few times. Okay, same gun. Took down a grizzly. Could it take out a safe? Let's see. Here we go. Smoking, Zach. That looks like a hole to me. Hit right here in between the one and the four. Here we go. Yes, it did. Clean hole, Zach. The mighty Magnum. Straight through the front door. Oh, look at the massive crack in the back of the safe. Oh, the hole. I do see light. I see light. And it did make it out the other side and then bounced off of the key pad of the second safe. 44 Magnum cleaned through one safe. Let's move up. 44 Magnum went through one safe, bounced off the second. How will that compare to the biggest handgun that we have? Don't touch it! Sorry. The Desert Eagle shooting a round of mighty 50 AE. Could this make it into the second safe? I think so. I think it's going to. All right, here we go. Desert Eagle versus a safe. Let's see what happens. Wow. Looks like it popped the door open. Man, that was some power. Golly. Oh, good hit. Enormous entry through the plastic. And wait, Zach, it bounced off. Didn't go through? It didn't go through. Look, it hit right here and it didn't go through. That is very surprising. Why did we buy so many safes, Zach? This thing is so durable. So zero safes for the Desert Eagle. I mean, I hit in a pretty similar spot to the 44 Magnum. It put an enormous dent in the front door here, but 44 Magnum's still in the lead, which I'm not surprised, Zach. I took down a bear with that thing, so. Yeah, you mentioned that earlier. Zach, we're moving up to the rifles. We have our AR here. We're shooting a round of Green Tip 5.56. The 44 Magnum is in the lead, surprisingly having gone through one safe. What will the Green Tip 5.56 do against our safes? All right, here we go. Green Tip 5.56 versus a safe. See some dust or something. What? It's raining bullets. Look at this entry, Zach. Just like completely different ballpark from the handguns. It just like seared straight through it. See like pieces of a jacket or something there on the outside. Let's see. Can't be good to breathe in. All right, so bullet came in through the door right here. It kind of hit the shelf right here. And you can see it did end up going all the way through the other side. Okay, so it looks like it came out right here. Maybe that was a piece of the bullet that also came out, Zach. Hit our second safe here and did not come through the front door of the second safe. So pretty similar to the 44 Magnum. Maybe I'd give the edge to the Green Tip 5.56, but technically they both did go through one safe and then were stopped on the outside of the second. Okay, we're moving up to the 12 gauge. We have a slug. Smooth. Ready to go. Brian finally showed up. About 30 minutes late. And we're going to shoot this one from back here, I think, Zach, because I don't really know what this slug's going to do. I honestly don't know. Sometimes it just bounces back. So we're going to be behind a little bit of cover. We're going to have slow-mo this time. We'll see what it does. R.I.P. to my cheekbone. Here we go. Oh, slug just nails the keypad. Oh, look at the blood like hitting it way after. Let's see. We got rid of that first safe. Let's see if I can get it open. There we go. That was not there. So it looks like, Zach, our slug went through right here through the keypad, came out the back, and then like actually hit the shelf. And then it's backside does have a bulge in it. So the slug went through the first door and then bounced off of the back. So I don't know, 0.5 safes for this slug. Couldn't make it through one. All right, moving up to the AK-47. We have a round of 7.62 by 39. Will it beat the AR-15? How will it compare? Let's see. Could this be our first gun to go clean through two safes? I don't know. The AK just sometimes comes out of nowhere and just obliterates things. All right, Zach, we hit our dial right here on the left side. Let's see what the damage is. Get it open. Oh, wow. It made it through and then it hit our shelf here, but it did not make it out the other side, Zach. It actually bulged out right here. So the AK-47 goes through the first wall, bulges out the back of the second wall. Couldn't even make it through one. Yeah, so zero safes for the AK-47.5. I don't know what you want to call it. It didn't go through one. All right, next up in our arsenal, we have the Gold Scar. We have a mighty round of .308. We're going to see what this will do. Could it make it all the way through one into the second? Let's see. It's like smoking out from the back of our first safe. Here's our entry right here in the front. And how would you, you just locked it. I just, you can never be too careful, Zach. Got it. Whoa. I don't know if you can see that, Zach. It looks like a very large exit right down here in the back of our first safe. So it went completely through the first safe and then very large, a much larger entry into the second than you'd expect. Let's see what happened in here. Oh man. So it went completely through the first safe, through our second door, and then it looks like it bounced off the back of the second safe. So yeah, there is a bulge in the back. So .308, most destruction so far. It went clean through the first into the second and then bounced onto the back wall of the second, putting a bulge in it. Zach, I think we're going to call the gold scar 1.5. It went clean through one into the second, bulged the outer wall of the second, but didn't go quite through two. Let's move up to the .306. .308 is in the lead. Our gold scar, pretty much, it almost made it through two. It was the closest to making it through two that I remember. But look at this puppy, Zach. It has an engine connected to the round. We're moving up to the .306. And look at that thing, Zach. It's pretty intimidating. It doesn't actually have an engine, I guess. It's just marketing. There's a little red tip, though. Yeah, that's true. Okay, so yeah, we're going to be up to .306, see if this will make it clean through two. Here we go. Ready, Zach? I'm ready. Yeah, it doesn't look very cool when you do that. Okay, I'm going to shoot it. Here we go. .306 versus safes. Red. Oh my gosh. You just see chaos in between the first and the second. Second safe gets blown back and you see metal and sparks just flying everywhere. Zach, we have an entry right here and I'm already telling you that I see an exit in the back of the first. Oh, wow. The top of the table was literally melted because this thing was so molten hot. The bullet went through our first safe. It hit the front of the second. And then golly, this round is so hot that it melts the top of the table. Ow. One safe for the .306. The .50 Cal is our only hope of anything, making it clean through two safes. I'm actually very excited to see if this is going to do it. We have this safe, have a little bit of space. We spaced them out just a little bit. So hopefully it looks cooler on slow-mo and yeah, we'll see what happens. All right, I'm geared up. We have our round of .50 BMG right here. We just took out an entire colony of wasps. That was making their home base here at the range. And it is time now to see if the .50 Cal, how many safes does it take to stop it? Could it make it clean through two, three, four? Is Fred going to survive? Let's see. Eagle One, this is Ghost Rider requesting clearance to engage target. Roger that, Green Light to Ghost Rider. Here we go. Hang on, Fred. Goodness. Fred. Oh man, huge flash in between number one and two. Smoke and dust everywhere. Just metal and sparks flying everywhere. Oh my gosh, Zach, the fourth safe is like, everything's turned to the side. I aimed in the upper third of the safe here because of the angle that we were at. I wanted to make sure that it could make it all the way to Fred just in case it made it through. Check it out. Oh my gosh, look at that in the sun. So cool. Just like flowers out in the front. Massive exit in the back of the first safe. Into the second, I can just smell burning metal. It did make it out of two, Zach. Into the third. Did it make it out of three? Yes, it did. Look at that, Zach. The bullet is completely horizontal. Look at that thing. Comes clean out of three safes. Into number four, it sneaks in right here and then part of it comes out of the top of number four and then the other part bulges out the back. So we're rewatching this slow-mo right here and we can indeed see that it was the bullet that goes into number four and then rips out the top of safe number four. Fred survives by one safe. I don't know, dude. Somebody got hit by something. Oh! We do not care. Fred did get nicked, Zach. You were right. Bounced off of him though. Yeah. It worked out so good. Just kind of bounced off. I think he's fine, really. So 50 Cal, clean through three, basically made it into the fourth. Maybe we call that three and a half. Not sure. Fred survives. Man, that was fun. That was so cool to see the 50 Cal do that much better than everything else. That's everything we had against these safes. Super fun video. Thank you guys for watching. We'll see you in the next episode of Yeet Life. Yeet Yeet! How many Freds does it take to stop a bullet coming at 10 million subscribers? Fred. If the safe won't open, one of the tricks that almost always works. So thumb on the dial, index finger, and then hand on the other side. And then basically you just grab your safe and then you just... Yeah, and it just pops right open.
