This YouTube video explores the surprising capabilities of weighted blankets, specifically testing their resistance to bullets and fire. The creator, prompted by a viewer's question, conducts tests to determine how "bulletproof" and "fireproof" these blankets truly are.

While not directly demonstrating firearms, the context of 'bulletproof' testing makes it relevant to a firearms audience interested in protective materials.
This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Battle Steel Level IIIA ballistic blanket against various handgun and rifle calibers. It demonstrates the blanket's ability to stop common pistol rounds, including 9mm from a full-auto Glock 17 and .40 S&W from a UMP 40. The test also includes a 12-gauge slug and 300 Blackout rounds. Notably, the video explores stacking multiple layers of the blanket, showing that two compressed layers can stop subsonic 300 Blackout, and three compressed layers can stop supersonic 5.56x45mm from a 10.5-inch barrel, though a 16-inch barrel 5.56mm eventually penetrates three layers.
