In this video, I'm going to be seeing
if a gravestone could stop a bullet. I'm going to
start small with a 22 and I'm going to work
my way through 11 levels of destruction all the way
to the mighty 50 cal. And we are going to see
if any of them could make it all the way through
this enormous gravestone. It is 458 pounds.
It's about seven inches thick. It's made of some form
of marble is what we were told.
And we have it stood up here right in front of Fred. As usual,
As usual, Fred is standing by behind the gravestone.
Is it going to blow chunks off of it?
Is it gonna have a huge crack in the middle?
Or is the 50 cal just going to rip straight through it?
And if at any point, any of the rounds
make it all the way through the gravestone into Fred,
he loses and we just might have to have a funeral for him
and bury him right here in front of it.
Today we're gonna find out, I'm excited, it's Halloween.
Ooh.
Stop dude, it's scary.
What's first up, man?
First up, we have the Ruger Mark IV.
We're shooting a little round of 22.
Is it even going to leave a dent in the gravestone?
Let's see.
All right, here we go.
22 versus a gravestone.
What's going to happen?
All right, here we go.
I didn't even hear anything.
No?
No, I didn't hear anything.
There was no ding.
I don't know what happened.
Let's go see.
Oh, it slams into the gravestone
and just splits into like 10 different pieces,
but it doesn't even leave a mark on the stone.
Did you even hit it, dude?
I don't know, Zach.
I don't see anything.
Maybe this.
Oh, here's the bullet, Zach.
Bullet, or at least it's a piece of it.
It's hot.
I can tell.
It like pancaked out.
It hit somewhere, but...
just obviously did basically nothing
so gravestone 22 proof let's move up okay 22 did essentially
nothing we have like an anvil type situation
on our hands what will the nine mil do much bigger
much faster bullet shooting with a glock 19
this is level two let's see what it does here we go
nine mil versus a gravestone hold on fred oh i see
a mark this time zach all right that's something
i definitely see a mark a bunch of chunks that get shot out super fast
and then there's like a
Any little puff of dust right there where it hits.
Kind of hit like the middle, maybe the bottom third.
There's a white, like a white speck.
Here it is, here's where it hit.
You see it like kind of like raying out like that lead
and it's like white underneath here.
Kind of interesting,
but really still hardly any penetration
other than just like turning the outside of the marble white.
Fred, completely fine back here.
Wow, these things are durable.
Let's move up.
We're moving up to the 1911 here.
We have around a .45 ACP, bigger bullet.
I'm expecting a bigger mark, maybe a little more penetration.
I don't know.
What will the 1911 do to the mighty gravestone?
Here we go.
1911 versus a gravestone.
Did you hit it, Parker?
I don't really know what happened, Zach.
The bullet shatters into a bunch of different pieces,
and you see one big piece there that pancakes out
and just kind of tumbles down.
I couldn't even see if I hit it from back there,
but you see right here,
it kind of did something similar to the nine mil
in that like there's a lead pancaked out right here,
kind of flaking off.
And then right underneath it is like,
just that like white inside of the marble
did hardly anything, bounce right off.
We're gonna have to go bigger, Zach.
Yes, we are.
We're gonna have to go like bare load bigger.
You know what I'm saying?
Unfortunately.
Let's move up.
All right, we're moving up to the revolver.
We have around a .44 Magnum here.
It's a round of bare load, huge load here.
Coming at the gravestone, what is going to happen?
Maybe it's going to, maybe we'll crack it, Zach.
This might do it.
This is a big round.
It's designed to take down bears, you know.
All right, here we go.
.44 Magnum versus a gravestone.
Zach, did I ever tell you about the time
that I took down a grizzly, actually?
This is reminding me of the time I was actually at a funeral.
We were singing Amazing Grace in Alaska, just outside Anchorage.
Turns into the Amazing Race.
Because a grizzly bear comes out of the woods, barreling in.
People start screaming, running everywhere.
Pull out the revolver.
I take him down.
I save the funeral.
I really thought we were going to get
away with no bear story that time.
Thanks for sharing, dude.
Yeah, absolutely.
Here we go.
44 Magnum versus a gravestone.
Hang on, Fred.
Whoa!
Good hit, dude.
Wow!
all right so that looks like the biggest mark
on the rock that i've seen so far and like a pretty
big little puff of dust just like shoots off
the stone i can see the mark all the way from back
there this time huge white mark
and i see black streaks coming out from the entry like a little
mini explosion maybe like a quarter of a centimeter depth of penetration
but it's pretty entertaining
in that the entries are like changing colors
because the inside of the marble is a different
color so i'm excited to see what some
of the bigger calibers will do let's move up
Zach, I have an enormous handgun.
This is the Desert Eagle.
I have a round of .50 AE that we're going
to be shooting at this gravestone.
Let's see what this one does.
Here we go.
Desert Eagle versus a gravestone.
I don't think there's, there's no mag in it.
You're going to need that.
Got it.
Here we go.
Desert Eagle versus a gravestone.
You just hit him in the head?
Zach, I'm terrible with that deagle.
I just shot Fred's helmet off.
Yeah, you grazed his head, dude.
Look at this.
I think that was it.
Oh, my gosh.
Look at that entry.
It, like, grazes the bottom, puts a hole right here.
And, look, it comes down.
It, like, goes in, hits the other side,
and then, like, comes down into his head.
So you missed, in short.
Well, the wind picked up.
I'm going to shoot this thing one more time
and hopefully hit it this time.
I also like chipped this yet again
and I'm trying to not mess up our guns.
I'm going to try to like put these little rubber things
on here to hopefully protect the gun from cracking it.
We'll see what happens.
All right, here we go.
Deagle take two.
Here we go.
Good hit.
Got the top third there.
Whoa, that's definitely the most like dust that I've seen
of just like this fine pieces of the stone
that like shoot out like smoke.
All right. We hit the top third here and man,
pretty similar to the 44 Magnum, maybe a little
bit wider, but not doing much at all.
Obviously nothing on the other side. Fred's fine besides my
shooting him in the head, but the gravestone is protecting him.
These things are tremendously
bulletproof. We're going to have to move up.
Let's move to the shotgun. All right, Zach,
keep the camera up. I'm just going to jump
into the frame and show the shotgun. Okay.
Okay. I have the camera up. I'm
not pointing it at you. All right. Ready? Go.
all right moving up to the 12 gauge shooting
a slug nice piece of firepower here is that a good
it was fun dude you didn't need to do that i jumped
into the frame yeah it looked awesome
okay sweet all right let's shoot
the slug here we go 12 gauge versus a gravestone all right guys
here we go all right oh yeah good hit wow lots
of smoke that time coming from the gravestone
Oh the slug nails the stone there
and then there's like a piece of it that hits afterwards
and just like spins back out of the frame
and I even see the stone like wobbling back and forth.
All right definitely the biggest mark so far.
It hit right here next to the deagle and I do see a
little penetration this time Zach.
That is actually the most that we've gotten so far. I think it
looks like I don't know biggest surface area maybe
the most penetration. Still not a lot of
penetration though Zach. I think we're
gonna need to move up to some rifles.
i think so too yeah first rifle of the day we have the AR
and we're shooting a round of green
tip five five six what will this one do should be the most penetration
so far these puppies
like when we shoot steel out here they penetrate like more than
the 308 sometimes so this is a
powerful round i'm excited to see what it does all
righty here we go green tip five five six versus
gravestone it's all a big like chunk come out that time
all right definitely the most penetration there
so far from the AR it looks like it spit out like
some pretty decent sized chunks of rock
but just not a whole lot of penetration on the stone
Okay. We hit like right next to where the slug hit Zach.
And look, I see like our first chip
right here. I saw some chunks get sent off to the side.
I mean, maybe like a centimeter of
penetration now, like we're starting to make some progress.
Well, this thing is unbelievably tough.
It stopped everything that we've thrown at it so far.
We're going to move up again. All right.
We're moving up to the AK 47.
We have a round of seven, six, two by 39. What is this one going to
We're going to do, we're going to get more chunks shot off
from the gravestones, holding up.
Crazy well, Zach.
It is, dude.
Unreal.
Let's see what this one does.
You'd probably be pretty safe if you're
in a cemetery hiding from gunfire.
I think so.
Here we go.
AK-47 versus the gravestone.
They're a solid hit.
Our huge puff of smoke there just like fills the screen,
but it doesn't look like it did
a whole lot of damage.
Like I'm in a wild west shootout or something in a cemetery.
Big mark right here and it like
hit right here and you see like it took a little chunk out of the side
but really not much. 7.62
by 39 is so powerful
and it's going through like quarter of a centimeter of this thing. Wow.
Crazy tough.
We're gonna have to move up again.
Zach, we're moving up to the Gold Scar.
And as we do, Eagle One is just making a low pass overhead.
Checking in.
Roger that, I see you loud and clear.
That's like a commercial airline.
That's Eagle One, I got comms with him.
Gold Scar here, and we're shooting a round of 308.
Could this be the thing that gets us
a little bit more momentum to this impenetrable gravestone?
Let's see.
Here we go, Gold Scar versus the gravestone.
Oh man, huge hit.
Lots of smoke that time,
but I think he would be safe in a cemetery in Fortnite.
All right. Kind of more of the same from the score.
It hits the stone, but it does not look
like even the 308 was able to do a whole lot of damage.
Wow. It still just did not do much. Even
the mighty 308. That is a huge chunk in terms of surface area.
Smacked it right here. We had some
pieces fall out, it looks like,
but not a whole lot of damage to our gravestone. Let's don't do
that. Sorry. Zach, let me know when you're rolling.
I just want to make sure you get this on slow-mo.
I'm rolling. Let's go. Just let me know.
I'm rolling. Okay. You ready? Yeah.
Dude, I think you're getting faster.
Yeah, I know I am.
Moving up to the .30-06, we have our deer rifle here.
There is the round.
What will the mighty .30-06 do to the gravestone?
Here we go, .30-06 versus gravestone.
Firing.
Oh, yeah, huge mark that time.
Let's go check it out.
The tombstone just totally eats the impact there.
Big puff of smoke, but not a whole lot of damage.
Smacked it right here, like a copper mark, decent chunk taken out.
This thing's tough, Zach.
All right, we are going to move up to one more bonus level,
a gun that we don't bring out except for special occasions
when we need extra firepower.
We're going to move up to the 450 Bushmaster.
I'm blocking the sun.
Your hand does not need to be covering your face.
Well, I'm just getting the sun out of my eyes.
It's not helping.
What's that?
It's the same.
All right, we have our next big boy in the lineup.
This is the 450 Bushmaster, a.k.a. the Knockout Round.
This puppy packs a punch.
Let's see what it does to the gravestone.
The Knockout Round?
Yeah.
No one's ever called it that.
Oh, I know.
I just made it up.
Oh.
It's like, it's kind of cool.
The knockout.
Here we go.
450 Bushmaster versus a gravestone.
Oh yeah, Zach.
That was a knockout round.
All right, hit right here.
And I mean, what can you say, Zach?
Very similar to the 30-06, to some of the other rounds.
Even the 450 Bushmaster was really no match
for this 500-pound gravestone.
No cracks, no nothing on the other side.
That means there's only one thing left to do,
and that is to pull out the 50 Cal.
I'm gonna go get suited up,
and we're gonna hit this puppy
with the most firepower that we have
and see what the 50 Cal does to the gravestone.
Nothing else has managed to penetrate
the gravestone, so we're moving up to the biggest
gun that we have. We are about 60 yards out.
Let's see what our gravestone does. All right,
here we go. 50 BMG. Zach, I got
to get clearance real quick before we shoot this thing. Eagle One,
this is Ghost Rider requesting clearance to engage target.
Roger, I see you going southbound.
See a streak, Zach? I see him going. That's him.
Way out there? Yeah. Roger that. Here we go. 50
BMG versus a gravestone. Hang on, Fred! All right, here we go, people.
Whoa!
Like half of it's gone, Zach.
Oh my goodness.
Huge chunk taken out.
Oh, the 50 rips the bottom part.
You see a flash there.
Tons of smoke come back, shrapnel going everywhere.
And like an avalanche,
that huge sheared off piece of marble
just slowly tumbles down.
Zach, I was probably like six inches from the edge,
from left to right.
Fred is still standing,
but there's an enormous chunk of the marble taken out.
Let's go see if it made it all the way through.
Okay, here we go. Bullet hit right here.
Zach, look at this. So it hit right here. It actually
didn't make it super deep into the marble,
but it sheared off a huge edge of the side here. Look
at this thing, Zach. Oh, I mean,
this is like probably a 30 pound chunk of that marble just
sheared off the edge here, but check out the backside.
Nothing out the back, which means
Fred survives. The gravestone stops the mighty .50 cal.
It put up a heck of a fight. I'm not gonna lie
I wasn't exactly sure what was going to happen there.
None of the other guns even really left a mark.
The .50 cal goes more than halfway through by shearing off half of it.
But ultimately, Fred survives.
Gravestone stops it.
Wow.
Nice job, Fred.
Good job, Fred.
Sorry about the headshot earlier.
Thank you guys for watching,
and I'll see you in the next episode of Yee Yee Life.
How many Freds does it take to stop a bullet
coming at 10 million subscribers?
This gravestone, Zach, is reminding me
of how temporary our life here is on earth.
And that is something that used to scare me
a whole lot back in the day until I found Jesus.
Now I have a supernatural peace beyond all understanding.
If you guys wanna know more about the peace
that comes from Jesus, you can check out my podcast
at the link in the description.
If that is of no interest to you,
feel free to just stay here and watch me shoot stuff.
Just know it's always there if you need it.
Thanks and yee-yee.
