Uploaded by chadperson1 on May 11, 2010
This is a test of my steel bunker door design. The door held up well against .22, .45, 9mm, and 5.56mm carbine AR15 fire.
The design uses 1/8" angle iron welded into a continuous plate, multiple sheets of plywood, and a 3" square tube steel inner frame.
for images of the door and design sketches please see: chadperson.com/recess/

What about a 7.62 round? AK is becoming quite popular since you can pick them up cheap. So in a SHTF situation you might face that caliber. Can you do a testing please sir? :) Thank you!

Very smart design i like the way you thought about slowing down the rounds with the plywood it works very well.

@thehammernator Nope, thats just his door. This video spike my curiosity enough to do a little research and I found his website (chadperson(dot)com) which shows the construction of his bunker, as creative as he was with this door it surprised me that the rest of the "bunker" is about 1 step (the roof) above you typical 1970's basement and substandard for a modern basement.

Test it with some 5.56 green tips.

@survivaleveryday Go to the site in the description. It seems this "bunker" is made of cinder block, which would make the door the strongest part of the "bunker". 5.56, 5.45, and 7.62 will goes through his walls like a hot knife through butter.

"Great Test", like the angle iron. What is the rest of the bunker made of.

That's not bad. I'm impressed 5.56 stopped so easily. My experience is that 5.56 will easily blow through 1/4"welding steel. Was that stainless or hardened steel, and how thick?
Nice work. I like the "angle iron" theory.

I really hope you are not on the west coast because I doubt the superstructure has been reinforced with steel to resist earthquakes. O.O
Also I am worried about the hinges on the door and it's ability to support the weight over time.
Regardless of these minor criticizes, this is a superbly designed personal bunker and should be praised.
