Is the Cybertruck *ACTUALLY* bulletproof?! (vs .50 cal rifle)

Apr 11, 2024
Today we will see how

bulletproof

the Cybertruck is. Nothing is completely

bulletproof

, there will always be a bigger bullet. But today we will scientifically investigate where that limit is. We have small rounds from .22 up to .50 that should do the job. It was snowing, so we have to sterilize the surface with an ignition test! Okay, it looks good. Let's shoot! To liven things up a bit, Ridge sent us a bunch of his compact wallets and said that for every bullet that hits the red square, they will donate $1,000 to my all-terrain wheelchair company 'Not A Wheelchair'. Thanks to Ridge for sponsoring this video, I have personally carried a Ridge wallet in my pocket for five years.

Mainly because of my attraction to titanium, but also because it blocks RFID, goes in my front pocket instead of my back pocket, holds 12 cards, and has a lifetime warranty. This is what polished titanium looks like new, and this is what polished titanium looks like after it's been in your pocket for five years. They also have an incredibly beautiful burnt damask, which I chose for the first goal. You can get it at RIDGE.com/JerryRig and I'll put the link in the description. Ridge has over 3 million customers and as a special gift for his 11th birthday, you can get up to 30% off through the link in the description. www.RIDGE.com/JerryRig There are over 30 designs, each backed by a 365-day warranty and a lifetime warranty.

Again, a big thank you to Ridge for sponsoring this video and donating money to my project if we can get anything done. We are extremely careful during the explosion test. We are on an official shooting range with stone barriers on each side for complete protection against stray bullets. The rules of the contest are that we have 30 bullets and this red square, for every bullet that lands inside the red square, Ridge will donate $1,000 to my wheelchair company, up to $15,000. First, I'm going to try the Glock 19, which is a 9mm pistol that shoots 7.4 gram all-metal pellets, and shoot it five times to see if that helps.

I've never shot at a $100,000 truck, but... Elon says it's bulletproof. That's crazy! No way! That one broke through. - Actually? But not. - That is incredible. See this. They are a little hot. Every gap is warm, but there are no cracks. Brilliant! The Cyber ​​Truck is definitely bulletproof for 9mm. Unbelievable, I didn't even get it, zoom in on this! Damascus took the bullet. - Oh my god... That's incredible! Check it out. Too good, damask. I shot five times and hit five times. We don't want the bullet to hit the same place twice, because the metal is already weakened, so we're going to make a new square.

I guessed five times inside the square, so that's $5,000 for my company. Riley is the director of operations there and now it's his turn to shoot. I don't know why, but I'm nervous. I've never been nervous about target shooting, but... Okay, go for a cheaper wheelchair, make sure you get everything right. I hit the wallet once, to see if it's a better shooter. The window is too close, I'm nervous! No pressure, right? No pressure! - No pressure, it's fine. Amazing man! Maybe I shouldn't have done that. That was good. Was that five times? - Yes, it was five.
Amazing man! That wallet protects the Cybertruck well. - That's good because I didn't even realize I was shooting in the same place. If it hadn't been for the wallet, he might have broken through. That's crazy, there was a wallet and this is Riley's bullet. You can see how it exploded, it's incredible. Turns out Riley is a better shot than me, and the third contestant is Jacob, and he's going to be the one to patch the holes through the door, right? Yes...he is a top-notch welder. Well, let's see what you can do. Ok Jacob, I got all five right and Riley got all five right.
See you now. Okay, but don't you want everything in one place? - Yes, disperse them, but within the square. Well done. This one is stuck, your bullet is still there. Yes, that's what I wanted to do. So far we have not missed a single shot, they have all ended up inside the red square. It was an easy $15,000 for my company. I will put a code on the page that reduces the price of each of the devices by a thousand dollars. Thank you very much Ridge! Now let's try larger ammo. Oh man, it looks a little cracked here.
That's what I wanted to do. It really broke. - Did you hit two in the same place? Probably,

actually

maybe. One, two, three, four... No, one, two, three, four and five. It really broke, but it didn't break through! First crack! - But not the last one, we have several large bullets. We've officially established that the Cybertruck is

actually

immune to 9mm ammunition, as long as we don't keep hitting the same spot. There is a small crack where we hit the same hole twice. But now we're going to shoot slightly faster ammo, which means it's likely to go through the door, so we'll cheat a little and open the door so the bullets don't bounce back into the cockpit.
I still want to use my Cybertruck after this "scratch" test is over. For the rest of the test we have two very small bullets and then two very large bullets. This is a 22 gauge and this is a 17. This time it's traveling at 1,000 feet per second and probably won't go through a car door. This one is traveling at 762 meters per second and will probably go through the door. It's interesting how small they are. For comparison, this is the 9mm bullet we shot earlier, this one is a 17 gauge and this one is a 22. This one is about 6 cents, this one is about 40 cents, and this one is about 25 cents.
But when we move on to the larger bullets, this AR costs 33 cents and this .50 costs about $5 per bullet. It doesn't really matter when we're shooting at a $100,000 truck. Let's see what the little bullets do. This is a .22 caliber, it probably won't penetrate. Right in the middle. Well, let's see. Okay, those little ones are cute. Little dimples, that's cute. Small bullet marks all over. Alright! It's good to know that it can withstand 9mm and .22 caliber bullets, for now. This is a 17 HMR that goes 2.5 times faster than a .22 and even though it's about the same size as the 9mm, this one should punch right through it.
Three, two, one... Oh yes! - I can see it from here. That is incredible! Let's check it out. What is the damage? Oh Lord! This is crazy! He made his way. Is there something in the back? - Not interesting! How is that? It went through the outside but didn't go through anything else. The window remained intact, that's good. That's crazy. Cybertruck is not bulletproof for 17 gauge, let's try AR. This time we are shooting an AR 15, the 223 bullet is much larger than the 17 and also travels 305 m/s faster, with a velocity of 975 m/s. Much bigger and much faster!
I have a feeling this one will go through both sides of the door. Three, two, one... He broke through! Pretty good shot, right next to the first hole. - Yes. You hit very close. Because I'm such a good shot! - Yeah... Okay, this is a 17 gauge, and this is a 223... Moment of truth! It's plastic! That's really cool, great shot. Look at this, Jacob. Oh perfect. - It's a perfect shot. You can hardly see anything, is it a 17? Passed? - I did not see anything. But yes, it is interesting, you can notice the acoustic insulation and the plastic.
Alright, I'll try shooting a .50 in this place. All the way to the door! Riley, do you think this is a 17? - Yes. Because the 223 goes so much faster, it cuts through metal like a hot knife through butter. Do you know how fast a .50 caliber bullet goes? I don't know it by heart. - We need Google. Not much, 883 m/s. - It's slower! Yes, but it's a big bullet! - Slower, but much bigger. Well, it's time to act! So we know this bullet will go through the door because the previous two did. What worries me is that it will probably break the glass, even if we are shooting at the door, simply because of the brutality and size of this bullet.
So let's keep our fingers crossed that we don't break the glass, because as you know, glass is glass, and glass... Three, two, one... I think it was good. I can see through the door from here. That's crazy! Oh Lord! Look at this, it exploded. That's crazy! I can run my whole finger through it. What is this page like? It is not too bad. It's not terrible. What do you think, Riley? - It's not bad at all. I expected a little more, but it's not bad. Yeah, maybe we'll leave them like that. Can we roll down the window? - Oh no, I forgot about the window.
There is a big misconception that Cybertruck windows are bulletproof, but they are not. The armored glass shown during the ad never came to life, and the Cybertruck's glass is definitely not bulletproof by any means. He's too thin for that. He! Brilliant. Near! The truck is still intact. It has some vents now, but overall I'm very happy with how bulletproof the Cybertruck is. It works with 9mm and 22mm, anything faster than that will put a hole in it, but slowing down the bullet is always better than having it go through both ends of the vehicle. What do you think, Jacob?
Can you plug this hole here? It's not so scary. - Is it worse than you expected? No, it depends on what you want to do with it. We can just add a couple of beads to solder. It's actually not as thick as it looks at the edges. Is it thinner in the middle of the board? - It works like that to the touch, yes. Yes, it's clear in there. - Put it in and it won't come out. It's like those Chinese finger traps. There is nothing loose inside nor does it shake or anything. There is a white pulley that almost missed us.
Oh no, we cut some wires. Can someone from Tesla tell us where those cables go. The door seems to work. Get your own Burnt Damask Ridge wallet in the video description, and if you want me to photograph the Cybertruck windows, let me know in the comments. Thanks for watching! See you.
