This experiment tests the myth of deflecting a bullet with a hand. While a .45 ACP bullet did deflect slightly and slow down when impacting a ballistic hand during a 'slap' motion, it still passed through, causing significant damage. The 'punch' method was less effective. The conclusion is that while theoretical deflection is possible, it's highly unreliable and results in catastrophic hand injury, making it an impractical defense.

This video debunks the 'blow your head clean off' myth associated with the .44 Magnum, using ballistic dummies for destructive testing. While the head doesn't detach, the damage from both a .44 Magnum revolver and a .44 Auto Mag is shown to be catastrophic, effectively validating the movie's sentiment. The experiment highlights the immense power and terminal ballistics of these calibers.
