Kentucky Ballistics Tests the Limits of the Brazilian Police Shield: A Fascinating Experiment

In an intriguing new video, Kentucky Ballistics takes on a unique and captivating challenge: testing the durability of a Brazilian police pistol shield. Known for their exciting experiments, this episode does not disappoint.

The Brazilian police shield showcased in the video measures an impressive inch and a quarter thick. The big question posed by Kentucky Ballistics is just how much this shield can withstand. The only way to get answers? Put it to the test with a variety of firearms.

The experiment kicks off with a 22 long rifle, which the shield handles effortlessly. Moving up to a 22 magnum, the results are still minimal, with only surface scratches visible. Stepping up the intensity, a 9mm round from a Glock 19 is fired, which digs out a significantly larger chunk of the shield.

But the ultimate test comes with the APF Dueler double barrel 1911, loaded with 45 ACP rounds. The result is astonishing: a single round of 45 ACP manages to crack the shield into four pieces. While the shield can stop at least one round, it becomes clear that it would need replacing after such an impact.

This fascinating experiment vividly demonstrates the capabilities and limitations of the Brazilian police pistol shield. For those interested in ballistics and protective gear, this video is a must-watch.
