BARRIER TESTING
Standard FBI protocol measures the penetration 
performance of a cartridge’s projectile through a 
series of six tests. Measurements are taken of the 
depth of penetration to the nearest .25 inch (consistent 
penetration of 12-18"), expansion of the projectile, and 
retained weight of the projectile.
Tests One through Six are shot at a distance of 
10 feet from the muzzle to the front face of the 
gelatin block, unless otherwise noted.

performance, please request the link to download the

PLYWOOD*
One piece of 3/4 inch “AA” 
fir plywood is set 18 inches 
in front of the gelatin 
block. This test event 
simulates the resistance of 
typical wooden doors or 
construction timbers.
AUTOMOBILE 
GLASS*
One piece (15"x 18") of 
A.S.I. 1/4 inch laminated 
automobile safety glass 
is set at an angle of 45˚ 
to the horizontal and 15˚ 
to the side, resulting in 
a compound angle. The 
gelatin block is placed 18 
inches behind the glass. 
This test event simulates 
a shot taken at the driver 
of a car from the left front 
quarter of the vehicle.
