    military calibers like 5.56 passed through it like hot butter

    It did…

    But 5.56 is dogshit at penetration. Like, a normal car does pretty well against it, but the cyber truck is just that bad against it.

    It has less penetration than handgun calibers, and one of the reasons it’s recommended for home defense is an interior wall that’s basically just two sheets of drywall could stop it.

    There’s a reasons gangstas use AKs and not ARs…

      Then that tells me the cybertruck is even more dogshit at stopping bullets than I thought it was! 🤣

      Not all 5.56 bullets are the same. I’ve got 75 grain bonded core that’ll penetrate walls just fine and M855A1 if more penetration is needed. Shit, even run of the mill M193 will defeat level 4 plates out of a 20" barrel.

        If you just increase the mass by 20% shove a solid dense core in then it does better!

        /s

        Wildy, just wildly untrue…

        To be certied level 3, you need to stop a m193

        Like by the very definition of level IV, it can stop m193

        Who is telling you this stuff and why were you believing them?

        This isn’t secret or even hard to obtain information
