Can 25mm destroy a tank?
The 25 mm round can be used in both an anti-materiel and anti-personnel fashion. When operating in the anti-materiel role, a 25 mm weapon armed with armor-piercing rounds can disable many aircraft and vehicles, including some main battle tanks.
Can bullets go through a tank?
The bullet does not break apart against armor plating like a normal bullet would. When used against World War I tanks, it sometimes penetrated into the tank compartment, but often it severely distorted the plate armor of the tank. The Germans also used reversed bullets at short ranges against French infantry.
Can a gun shoot through a tank?
A tank gun is the main armament of a tank. Modern tank guns are large-caliber high-velocity guns, capable of firing kinetic energy penetrators, high explosive anti-tank, and cannon-launched guided projectiles. Tank guns generally use self-contained ammunition, allowing rapid loading (or use of an autoloader).

Can paper stop a bullet?
A 2015 story in Popular Mechanics reported on a Demolition Ranch experiment to see how much paper it would take to stop a bullet by firing . 50-caliber rounds into stacks of paper. Surprisingly enough, two sets of five reams of paper — that’s 5,000 sheets in total — weren’t enough to stop the a . 50-cal in its tracks.
