What to hide behind?

[RevRifleman 1,512]

Given that there is a difference between concealment and cover... one might often wonder what exactly you can get behind to put a barrier of protection between you and someone who may be shooting at you.  

 

Let's start an informative thread wherein various objects that one could get behind are put to the test.  

 

 

An empty dumpster is used in this demonstration.  What difference might there have been if it were full?  I guess it all depends on what is in the can!

Defending the local port or rail yard?  Is that shipping container full or empty?  That information might make a difference.

You may know the answer to this one already... but, hey, info is info.  Hollywood would have you believe that the sedan you roll around town in is a great bullet stopper.

Drywall won't save your butt... but, what about bricks?

Buggin' out to the cabin in the woods?  How much protection will those log walls afford you?

Gunna duck behind a tree?  Or maybe the enemy thought it was safe to get skinny behind that birch?  In reference to the Log Cabin video... remember, before it was a cabin... it was a tree.

 Might not be fighting too many commies in the farmland regions.... but, strange things can happen.  Will a hay bale will cover ya in the firefight?

Sometimes a dirtbag can be your best friend on the battlefield.

At least an Isuzu is good for some cover from small arms if nothing else!  ?

I was surprised to see the 556 go thru the washer.
